The former&#8217;s a veteran luminary of the mnml-techno trenches; the latter&#8217;s a fantastic house/techno/disco/early-electronic-music DJ/producer who also makes his own sonic hardware and software with his <a href="http://madronalabs.com/">Madrona Labs</a> company. Mr. Jones rarely leaves his laboratory these days, so it behooves you to hoof it on over to <strong>Electric Tea Garden</strong>.

I was so exited when I heard that Vashon's own sweet geniuses, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theterrordactyls">The Terrordactyls</a>, were playing at Chop Suey tonight! They have a song called "Sad Pizza" and a song called <a href="http://terrordactyls.bandcamp.com/track/party-train">"Party Train"</a>, and those songs take turns being stuck in my head at all times. After looking into the other bands playing tonight, I got even more excited! <strong>Gnosis</strong> is a Japanese grunge band that boasts a <a href="http://www.geocities.jp/gnosisnet/index.html">mind-blowing geocities website</a>. The Gnosis homepage announces "<strong>grunge is not dead</strong>" over a background photo of The Trading Musician (??!!). Judging from the snippets of video on their site, Gnosis sounds (and looks!) like a wonderful Japanese Smashing Pumpkins / Nirvana ball of bleach and flannel. I couldn't find much info about <strong>Troll 8</strong> (also from Japan), except that they are on tour to Seattle with Gnosis, the tour is called "Some Time in Grunge City", and their one band picture looks <strong>pretty alternative</strong>. After all this extreme investigative journalism, I was too tired to wrangle any more MySpaces for the day, but I can tell you that <strong>Tennis Pro</strong> has great hair, and is playing last. </p> <p>(Chop Suey, 8 pm, $7, 21+)</p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/tonight-gnosis-japan-troll-8-japan-the-terrordactyls-and-tennis-pro-chop-suey#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12402881&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pl99BXYzD-o8YvQS8oOwq66AgR0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pl99BXYzD-o8YvQS8oOwq66AgR0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pl99BXYzD-o8YvQS8oOwq66AgR0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Pl99BXYzD-o8YvQS8oOwq66AgR0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.thestranger.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?a=xMJZ1lL2kpE:5onvLmSS930:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/stranger/lineout/~4/xMJZ1lL2kpE" height="1" width="1"/> Tonight http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/tonight-gnosis-japan-troll-8-japan-the-terrordactyls-and-tennis-pro-chop-suey?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12402881&id=comments 0 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:33:24 -0800 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/tonight-gnosis-japan-troll-8-japan-the-terrordactyls-and-tennis-pro-chop-suey http://feeds.thestranger.com/~r/stranger/lineout/~3/ONhr1HP26Y4/main-attrakionz-us-tour-vinyl-release-and-new-mp3 http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/main-attrakionz-us-tour-vinyl-release-and-new-mp3 Larry Mizell, Jr. <p><div class="blogImageCenter" style="width:512px;"><img src="http://www.thestranger.com/binary/7456/1328737258-216.jpg" alt="216.jpg" title="" width="500" height="333" /><ul><li class="imageCredit">Valentin Saqueton</li><li class="imageCaption"></li></ul></div><br /><a href="http://dreamcollabo.bandcamp.com/album/m-a-n">MondreMAN</a> and <a href="http://greenovamusic.bandcamp.com/track/down-feat-danny-brown-shady-blaze-prod-by-ys-2">Squadda B</a>, Oakland's <em>best duo ever</em>, just announced a string of US dates, which aside from a stop at Pomona College, include zero West Coast dates.

More than anything, it's Monte's warm, enveloping vocals that keep me returning to her work.

YES PLEASE! </strong>Nothing is certain, of course, and our dreams could be crushed any minute, but that doesn't stop me from contemplating all the possibilities. </p> <p>For instance, since Seattle has such a rich music community (past and present), I think we could have a really killer score song, which would play every time the team gets a goal. </p> <p>Sadly, whenever the Nashville Predators (my boys!) score, the stadium blasts<strong> "I Like It, I Love It"</strong> by Tim McGraw. Ugh. The Vancouver Canucks play <strong>"Electric Worry"</strong> by Clutch. Boston Bruins, the current Stanley Cup champs, play <strong>"Kernkraft 400 (Sport Chant Stadium Remix)"</strong> by Zombie Nation. We can beat, that, Seattle.</p> <p>What about <strong>"Louie, Louie"</strong>? That song has a lot of history here and a whole stadium of people could sing along as it plays. Or maybe a Hendrix tune? That might be weird. I don't know if Hendrix and hockey go together. I also don't think Nirvana would be appropriate. We could go with something more contemporary, of course. I think it'd be rad to blast Murder City Devils's <strong>"Boom Swagger Boom."</strong> </p> <p>The instant the puck goes into the net the goal horn would blast through the stadium and everyone would start yelling and clapping "Boom, swagger swagger, boom boom, swagger, BOOM BOOM BOOM!"</p> <p><strong>So say Seattle DOES get a hockey team: What do you think would be an awesome goal song?</strong></p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/what-song-should-be-seattles-hockey-teams-goal-song#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12403578&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qt8F7G20QeNSYfXnWgYvWrPw8kY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qt8F7G20QeNSYfXnWgYvWrPw8kY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qt8F7G20QeNSYfXnWgYvWrPw8kY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qt8F7G20QeNSYfXnWgYvWrPw8kY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.thestranger.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?a=0bwk_UelV0k:i6bcTntfo98:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/stranger/lineout/~4/0bwk_UelV0k" height="1" width="1"/> Song http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/what-song-should-be-seattles-hockey-teams-goal-song?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12403578&id=comments 24 What Song Should Be Seattle's Hockey Team's Goal Song?

So, there goes that...no proper <strong>Black Sabbath</strong> reunion. </p> <p>From <strong>Ward</strong>'s <a href="http://metaltalk.net/news2012/2012572.php">statement</a>...</p> <blockquote><p>At this time, I would love nothing more than to be able to proceed with the <strong>Black Sabbath</strong> album and tour. However, I am unable to continue unless a "signable" contract is drawn up; a contract that reflects some dignity and respect toward me as an original member of the band. Last year, <strong>I worked diligently in good faith</strong> with <strong>Tony</strong>, <strong>Ozzy</strong> and <strong>Geezer</strong>. And on 11/11/11, again in good faith, I participated in the L.A. press conference. Several days ago, after nearly a year of trying to negotiate, another "unsignable" contract was handed to me.</p> <p>The place I'm in feels lousy and lonely because as much as I want to play and participate, <strong>I also have to stand for something</strong> and not sign on. If I sign as-is, <strong>I stand to lose my rights, dignity and respectability as a rock musician.</strong> I believe in freedom and freedom of speech. <strong>I grew up in a hard rock/metal band. We stood for something then, and we played from the heart with honesty and sincerity. I am in the spirit of integrity, far from the corporate malady, I am real and honest, fair and compassionate.</strong></p></blockquote> <p>Okay, so it doesn't SOUND like he was fired, but has withdrawn his participation. Still, fingers are pointing to <strong>Ozzy</strong>'s manager, and wife, <strong>Sharon Osbourne</strong>...once <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Arden">Don Arden</a>'s daughter, ALWAYS <strong>Don Arden</strong>'s daughter.</p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/sad-news-for-hopeful-sabbath-fans#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12400640&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b_TRDeuTBN10lWTsNgaTZBUJgGo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b_TRDeuTBN10lWTsNgaTZBUJgGo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b_TRDeuTBN10lWTsNgaTZBUJgGo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/b_TRDeuTBN10lWTsNgaTZBUJgGo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.thestranger.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?a=6FvbPYtuU8c:5r_ixofe6c8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/stranger/lineout/~4/6FvbPYtuU8c" height="1" width="1"/> Sort of News http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/sad-news-for-hopeful-sabbath-fans?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12400640&id=comments 1 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:35:20 -0800 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/sad-news-for-hopeful-sabbath-fans http://feeds.thestranger.com/~r/stranger/lineout/~3/LHZs2ivhbg4/call-it-a-comeback-luscious-jacksons-are-you-ready http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/08/call-it-a-comeback-luscious-jacksons-are-you-ready Dave Segal <p><a href="http://www.lusciousjackson.us/">Luscious Jackson</a>'s first new material since 1999, <strong><a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-luscious-jackson-return-with-first-new-song-in-a-decade-20120207">"Are You Ready?,"</a></strong> is hotter than we have any right to expect.

Piekarski <p>I woke up this morning at 8, like I do every morning. I've had my alarm clock since I was 12 and there is only one time since using it in all of these years that I've had to change the batteries. It's a great alarm clock. The alarm is a rooster crowing, which is soothing, since I am years from when I was around roosters on the family farm.</p> <p>This morning, it was the sound of a rooster crowing to dubstep? Cock-a-doodle-dubstep? I got my brain together pretty fast and realized it wasn't a breakbeat I was hearing, <strong>it was a fucking jackhammer pulverizing the concrete in the ally behind my house</strong>. I think they're either doing some preliminary condo work, maintenance, <strong>or trying to find the C.H.U.D.s that have been terrorizing the <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/fusion_ultra_lounge/Location?oid=300076">Fusion Ultra Lounge</a> on Friday and Saturday nights</strong>. Why else would there be screaming and the smell of weed at 12 am?

Jamison sings, for instance, on "Surface" from the <em><strong>Silent Planet</strong></em> EP.

That was around the same time his excellent experimental-pop record <em>Born Free Forever</em> was released. He had a moppy head of curly brown hair and did a Pauly Shore impersonation. Hubba-hubba. It's hard to say exactly where Birdman is now, at least musically speaking. He hasn't released an album since <em>New Moods</em> in 2009, which showcased a more electro-pop dance vibe than <em>Born Free</em>. And he moved from Portland to Los Angeles. Who knows how that affected his sound if at all. One thing is for certain&#8212;whether it's more <strong>experimental bedroom pop or charming electro dance cuts</strong>, Birdman's warm, smooth croon makes whatever he's doing pretty much irresistible. He could just get onstage and sing the words out of Dr. Seuss books for all I care.

For some reason, my brain just locks up (this happens more than I care to admit), and I have to take a minute until I can think of something. This also happens when I walk into a record store. Nine times out of 10, I'll forget what I went in for unless it's written down. This is just the way my brain works, and yes, I've been diagnosed with major ADD, so fuck you!

At last tally in October 2011, Brooks had sold 68,561,000 records. In the year 2000, Brooks attempted to donate his liver to country music singer <strong>Chris LeDoux</strong>, but the liver was incompatible and LeDoux tragically died. </p> <p><div class="blogImageCenter" style="width:512px;"><img src="http://www.thestranger.com/binary/d048/1328654422-garth_brooks_necco_wafers_.jpg" alt="The ingredients in Necco Wafers are sugar, corn syrup, gelatin (an animal by-product), gums, colorings, and flavorings." title="The ingredients in Necco Wafers are sugar, corn syrup, gelatin (an animal by-product), gums, colorings, and flavorings." width="500" height="387" /><ul><li class="imageCredit"></li><li class="imageCaption">"The ingredients in Necco Wafers are sugar, corn syrup, gelatin (an animal by-product), gums, colorings, and flavorings."</li></ul></div></p> <p>Brooks released an LP in 1995 called <em>Fresh Horses</em> and another the year before entitled <em>In Pieces</em>. </p> <p>Garth Brooks is married to <strong>Trisha Yearwood</strong>, who has been married three times. In August 2008, Yearwood was on a flight from Massachusetts to Oklahoma, during the flight one of the windows cracked at 30,000 feet. The plane made an emergency landing in Baltimore, Maryland. <strong>John Waters</strong> is a filmmaker from Baltimore, Maryland who released a film called Female Trouble in 1974. </p> <p><div style="text-align:center;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/30dgCYgk10g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></p> <p>In 1999, Garth Brooks created a musical alter ego named <strong>Chris Gaines</strong>, an outlet for Brooks' alternative rock music. A film called <em>The Lamb</em> based around the Gaines character was developed by Paramount Pictures but was shelved because of lack of interest. Garth Brooks married his college sweetheart named <strong>Sandy Mahl</strong> in 1986. They divorced on December 17, 2001.</p> <p>An anagram for Garth Brooks is <strong>STARK BRO HOG</strong>.

The pumpkin was old, large, and greening in patches with rot. (Neighbors were happy for me to take the thing off their hands.) As I carried it, rot-juice ran down my arm like a tear of pumpkin rot-joy, overcome with happiness at finally being thrown away. Previously, I had listened to <a href="http://youtu.be/6dLa2l1tyx0">&#8220;Fingerprint File,&#8221;</a> the closing track off the Rolling Stones 1974 album <em>It&#8217;s Only Rock n&#8217; Roll</em>. Keith Richards&#8217; wah pedal churns the song slinky, and in my opinion, it's one of the Stones&#8217; more underrated tunes. Two years prior, during the Rolling Stones' 1972 North American tour, Keith <a href="http://youtu.be/YqI4CiDQXcM">dropped a television set off a 10th story balcony</a>. Thus, with &#8220;Fingerprint File&#8221; stuck in my head, seeing my neighbor&#8217;s decomposing pumpkin roused images of Keith&#8217;s fun with the TV, and Sir Isaac Newton. </p> <p>Newton&#8217;s law of universal gravitation is described as the mutual attraction between any two bodies in the universe. Applied here, that mutual attraction would be between a pumpkin left over from fucking Halloween and the dumpster five floors below. </p> <p>I was hoping for more of an explosive, sickening sound when the pumpkin hit, but it ended up just sounding like a basketball being thrown into the hull of a tanker. Except this basketball doesn&#8217;t bounce. The dumpster must have been empty. I wanted so much more. </p> <p>Due to the bland nature of this pumpkin&#8217;s landing sound, I made some sonic alterations. Here now for you are those sounds:</p> <p><strong>Clean Audio of a Pumpkin Being Dropped Down a Five-Story Garbage Chute:</strong><br /><embed src="/foundation/audio/player/mediaplayer.swf" width="160" height="20" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=20&width=160&file=http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2012/02/07/1328610823-trash.mp3&backcolor=0xFFFFFF&frontcolor=0x444444&lightcolor=0xFFFFFF&screencolor=0xFFFFFF&showicons=false&usefullscreen=false" /></p> <p><strong>With Alternate Ending 1: Guitar Solo From <a href="http://youtu.be/vIeK1FV273M">Lynyrd Skynyrd&#8217;s &#8220;Free Bird&#8221;</a> Live at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA, 1976:</strong><br /><embed src="/foundation/audio/player/mediaplayer.swf" width="160" height="20" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=20&width=160&file=http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2012/02/07/1328610945-trashpumpkin.mp3&backcolor=0xFFFFFF&frontcolor=0x444444&lightcolor=0xFFFFFF&screencolor=0xFFFFFF&showicons=false&usefullscreen=false" /></p> <p><strong>With Alternate Ending 2: <a href="http://soundcloud.com/oestrogenix/aunty-jaynes-animal-sounds">Aunty Jaynes Animal Sounds</a>:</strong><br /><embed src="/foundation/audio/player/mediaplayer.swf" width="160" height="20" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=20&width=160&file=http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2012/02/07/1328610972-trashfarmanimal.mp3&backcolor=0xFFFFFF&frontcolor=0x444444&lightcolor=0xFFFFFF&screencolor=0xFFFFFF&showicons=false&usefullscreen=false" /></p> <p><strong>With Alternate Ending 3: <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/06/14/shotgunning-6-the-burp-of-the-year">Travis Ritter&#8217;s Burp of the Motherfucking Year</a>:</strong><br /><embed src="/foundation/audio/player/mediaplayer.swf" width="160" height="20" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=20&width=160&file=http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2012/02/07/1328611010-trashritter.mp3&backcolor=0xFFFFFF&frontcolor=0x444444&lightcolor=0xFFFFFF&screencolor=0xFFFFFF&showicons=false&usefullscreen=false" /></p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/07/audio-of-a-pumpkin-being-dropped-down-a-garbage-shoot#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12358376&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrxV8-675PC2og6QkzjfG2S4AjI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrxV8-675PC2og6QkzjfG2S4AjI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrxV8-675PC2og6QkzjfG2S4AjI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QrxV8-675PC2og6QkzjfG2S4AjI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.thestranger.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?a=ke6TMbA3w0w:lozUicjmW44:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/stranger/lineout?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/stranger/lineout/~4/ke6TMbA3w0w" height="1" width="1"/> Art Housekeeping http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/02/07/audio-of-a-pumpkin-being-dropped-down-a-garbage-shoot?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=12358376&id=comments 13 Audio of a Pumpkin Being Dropped Down a Garbage Chute And this bird you can not change.
