Jimi's thoughts on vinyl record collecting

In Utero (20th Anniversary Edition) Geffen/Universal Music Read More Nirvana There's never been a more exciting time to be a Nirvana fan than now, 20 years after Nevermind was released. I remember the first time I saw Nirvana on Spin Magazine… Jimi I have been obsessed with the garage scene as of late, and what is great is that it's not just a musical style, but a lifestyle. These are working class hero bands with humor and a love for 60's …

After spending about $200 on a SodaStream, Jimi discovered that the product does not work/broken machine. He hates it and warn people from buying this crappy product. If you factor in all the extra costs, a drink it produces is probably well over a 75¢ can of soda from the vending machine.

In Jimi's latest video series, he reflects on record collecting and how it's being exploited by major labels. The offender in this case is Geffen's reissue of In Utero triple-disc vinyl that retails for $60. First of all, who doesn't already own the In Utero? It's just a way to exploit the fans (particularly with that $150 In Utero CD/DVD boxset). As much as I love Nirvana, I'm saying 'no thank you' to this 20th Anniversary Edition.

Personally, I think it's great that vinyl are back in fashion. I sometime pick up a random 7" at shows to help support the bands I love. Usually it's because it's the cheapest merchandise, usually affordable at a sub $5 price. To me, most LP should retail $15 or less, once it starts trending on $20 and above, I won't even consider buying it (unless it's a double disc/foldout or other things that warrant the extra cost).

Of course, besides the price factor, there's other things going into purchasing vinyl for me. Since I don't own a record player, I would prefer to have the vinyl bundled with a "free" mp3 downloads. I specifically look for the sticker that say downloadable, if I don't see it, I just won't buy the record. Of course, this has bitten me in the butt, because sometime the download EXPIRED (screw you Guns n' Roses LP!) or the record label is no longer online.

Anyway, here's Jimi's "S**** I Think About: Vinyl Record Collecting":

I Need You Bad

About I Need You Bad I Need You Bad is a compilation curated by Sonny Smith (of Sonny & the Sunsets) documenting the current garage rock scene in the Bay area and beyond (not every band included here is from the Bay area & it's not 100% garage rock!). Featuring artwork by Shannon Shaw (Shannon and the Clams), I Need You Bad is a perfect snapshot into one of the most influential and thriving music scenes in the country, if not the world. Formats Digital + Vinyl (Limited Edition of 1000 on Slime Green Vinyl via Polyvinyl) Cassette Released by Burger Records. Limited to 300 Copies. Read More Shannon and the Clams Shannon and the Clams, who I was previously impressed that they have a large fanbase at a live show. The 'Clams are also promoting their new record called Dreams in the Rat House, which came out May 21, 2013, on Hardly Art. …

I have been obsessed with the garage scene as of late, and what is great is that it's not just a musical style, but a lifestyle. These are working class hero bands with humor and a love for 60's rock and roll.

Minneapolis use to be a rock city, but I've noticed that a lot of these "garage" bands don't get much notice here. Which is great, because I get to see these bands in a more intimate setting ... but it sucks because some of these bands don't even play here. Which is fine, it gives me a reason to travel and see some of these bands in bigger cities like Chicago, Illinois, or Austin, Texas.

I Need You Bad is a great compilation. Musically, it hits all the right notes with its hippie, 60's surfy vibe. I wish this had included all types of garage from the likes of Tennessee and Detroit areas but this is also a great cohesive West Coast with some Portland dashed in. There are a few bands from the Cali area I wish were on here, but for those looking for a list of up and comers this is a great mix.

I love Shannon Shaw's cover artwork from Hunx and his Punx and Shannon and her Clams fame, and would just purchase this tape/vinyl (if available) just for her art alone.

I knew a few of these bands from my Burger Collection, but now I know there are some bands I can keep an eye out for. Too bad this is coming out this winter, because this would be a perfect cassette jam for my summer cruisin'.

Burgerama Caravan of Stars at Parish, Austin (10/12/13)

Read More Burger Records Burger Records is an independent label that started in 2007 in Fullerton, California and is known for releasing cassette tapes of grunge/pop/garage bands. With cassettes gaining popularity in recent years …

Burger Records, the independent record label that is popularizing cassettes, is currently taking some of their best bands on their Burgerama Caravan of the Stars Tour. They sold out their all-ages show at the Parish in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, October 12th.

Here's what was on the Burger Menu:

I love Burger records, they are hitting all the right marks on everything they are doing right now. From the crudely hand drawn pictures, usage of Cooper Bold font, to their BRGTV webshows. Some record labels have these music festivals (ie Gonerfest), but none of them take the festivals to you.

I went to the Burgerama tour in St. Paul, Minnesota, and I loved it. When they stopped in MN they had White Fang/Memories and Coleen Green play support hamburger helper style.

So I went to Austin for a second helping.

CURTIS HARDING TOGETHER PANGEA GAP DREAM COSMONAUTS

Curtis Harding from the ATL is the soul/blues hamburger helper here.

together Pangea is that Raw Punky California Burger (a personal favorite).

Gap Dream is that psychedelic burger that is stripped down to just mustard and onions.

Cosmonauts is the four piece pub style slider burger.

Of course you have the main course of the Growlers.

The Growlers is that organic grass-fed burger that all the free love people can feel good about eating.

Some Burger bands are a little cheesy, but that's why it's so fun to watch and experience the Burger Records Burgerama Caravan of Stars.

All the cheese comes with a wink of ironic flavor. Buy a tape, get some vinyl, and enjoy life.

Burgerama Caravan of the Stars Tour continues on:

10/13/13 San Antonio, TX Karova
10/14/13 El Paso, TX Monarch
10/15/13 Tucson, AZ Club Congress

Mikal Cronin at 7th Street Entry 06/10/13

Read More Mikal Cronin You may know Mikal Cronin as bass/backup vocals for Ty Segall, but he's prolific in his own right with already two solo albums and several singles under his belt. … I've grown to know about Mikal Cronin as bass/vocals for Ty Segall (one of my favorite garage band acts). He has released a few solo albums that are amazing. There is this awesome pocket of talent in the pools of Goner Records, Burger Records, and Merge Records. This revival of simple indie garage rock has gotten me in this obsessive state of record collecting. This band is connected to this band, this band has members from this band, so on and so forth. I can't get enough of Mikal's band's aesthetic and sound. It's hard to talk about a sound that is familiar, yet new to your ears. Jaded cynical types will say this is a rip off of 60's garage rock, or this sounds like this band. Throw those stupid comparisons out the door and listen. This is plain out good music. Mikal Cronin support comes from another favorite of mine Shannon and The Clams. Shannon and the Clams is like that doo wop punky band that take's 50's styling and rub dirt and oil all over it. Also opening is Is/Is from my backyard in Minneapolis. I love that the garage sound is back, striping down all that made music complicated and is gotten back to its roots. Catch Mikal Cronin and Shannon and the Clams in a town near you, and scoff at people who don't know who they are. Those people just don't know what good music is supposed to sound like.

Iamdynamite at Beat Kitchen, Chicago (04/14/13)

Read More IAMDYNAMITE IAMDYNAMITE's singer and guitarist, Christopher Martin (not to be confused with the Coldplay guy), is in a dress shirt & trouser with a bow tie and Buddy Holly glasses. Pretty geeky. What's missing? His …

Opening for this somewhat all-ages show was Ballroom Boxer from Chicago, who played a unique take on the pop hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." It changes in tune to a well crafted rock anthem.

The Virginmarys hails from England and was, to me, the highlight of the evening. The drummer for The Virginmarys was so powerful that each thump got the crowd unknowing pumping their fists in the air. They are currently supporting Iamdynamite on this leg of the tour, and believe me they are full of piss and vinegar that make cucumbers turn to pickles. The drummer wears these suspenders and in my mind is because that he plays so hard that his pants may involuntarily fly off. Keep an eye on these Brits, they are such a powerful three-piece.

So from the five members in Ballroom Boxer, to the three members in The Virginmarys, comes the dynamic two-piece known as Iamdynamite. They play through their songs just as it appears on their album Supermegafantastic, song by song. Midway, there is a funny bit about a new song sung by Chris and is dedicated to Chris (the drummer). The show was humid and mid-set Chris (the singer) promised that each song he would remove one button. As they play their last song, the crowd chanted for one more song.... alas Iamdynamite played through their entire album. The band was physically stopped by the fans from exiting the stage!

So instead of leaving the fans, he brings up a few volunteers to play the tambourines and maracas. Ending the entire show with a pogo punk pop Bangles hit "Walk Like an Egyptian."

Iamdynamite continues their tour with the Virginmarys. Shows with (*) indicates show without The Virginmarys.

KMFDM Doing it Again

Setlist D.I.Y. Amnesia Kunst Ave Maria Quake Free Your Hate Son of a Gun Rebels in Control Potz Blitz Pussy Riot Krank Animal Out Tohuvabohu Hau Ruck I Heart You Anarchy WWIII Megalomaniac A Drug Against War Read More KMFDM KMFDM was formed back in 1984. Though the band has been through a few different lineup changes, but KMFDM is still the Kings of Industrial Rock. ..…

Barely a month after releasing their most recent album, KUNST, KMFDM dropped by First Avenue to show us how it's done. Taking the stage after three excellent opening bands, fans of the ultra heavy beat were treated to all of the things they've come to expect from a KMFDM show: Razor sharp distorted guitars mixed perfectly with percolating synth parts; the dual vocal assault of Lucia and Sascha; and of course the ultra heavy beat.

Starting with a rousing take on fan favorite D.I.Y., the band stormed through a collection of 19 songs from their vast discography, five of which came from the excellent new KUNST album. It was a pleasure to see the crowd get as excited for the new songs as they were for the classics. Speaking of classics, the band had William Wilson of opening band, Legion Within, take the Tim Skold vocal part of "Anarchy" which was one of the highlights of the encore.

Opening band Chant deserves special recognition for being incredibly creative and bringing a really cool tribal feel to the proceedings. Definitly worth checking out if you like rhythm heavy industrial style music in the vein of Babyland.

All in all it was an excellent night for KMFDM lovers. The band was tight, the crowd was feeling it, a real treat for the freaks.

KMFDM is wrapping up their North American tour for KUNST, out now on Metropolis Records.

POP KIDS, a novel by Davey Havok

POP KIDS (319 pgs) By Davey Havok Publisher: Black Candy Publishing Publication Date: April 4, 2013 Price: $20.00/ trade paperback original ISBN: 978-0-9859572-0-9 Book Signing Pop Kids book signing with Davey Havok at The Standard, Hollywood, on April 4th, 2013. Book signing at 8pm, followed by a reading and Q&A with the author.

Davey Havok was my Morrissey. Some of my closest friends are ones that share the same affection for AFI. I have searched high and low for b-sides of AFI, I've driven through middle America to follow them on tour. I have permanently inked AFI on my skin.

I was hoping to draw parallels to AFI's first two albums with Davey Havok's first novel, Pop Kids. I couldn't have been more wrong. Behind the pink door cover of the book, AFI doesn't exist; instead pop music from Katy Perry to the Smiths is the soundtrack for the character in this book.

There are so many references from Britpop groups to modern day pop music, the author knows his audience. I am surprised that Davey can throw in so much music reference that I know exactly what it means. Do you know Steve Aoki, Marina and the Diamonds, Deadmau5, Bat for Lashes, Katy Perry, and The Smiths? This book doesn't dumb down your musical knowledge, it supports it.

"It smells like a trunk filled with vintage Smiths tees." describing the musky smell of the Hotel. Brilliant. Every pop culture reference that is thrown in, it feels as if Davey Havok wrote this for me.

The book starts off as a slice of modern technological teen angst Americana that spirals to a trashy sleaze novel. Basic outline is the main character "Score" influenced by modern technology e.g. iPhones, social networks, internet porn, TMZ, etc., throws some "bitchin' parties." None of the characters practice anything close to monogamy, with their false delusions of grandeur. The angst, the false hope of real love, all encompassing this tale of sex parties.

I feel characters are uneven- I cannot picture someone so into Moz and not be depressed in some way. These modern day nihilistic teens make me hate them, at the same time wish I was them. Totally despising them and relating to them makes me realize how adulthood has changed me.

I believe it's a planned trilogy, but after this one, I feel like I need to take a cold shower.

Read More KMFDM The 1990s--particularly the mid-'90s--were the Golden Age of Industrial Music. Nine Inch Nails was registering industrial on the pop-music charts with Pretty Hate Machine and its more …

KMFDM
kmfdm.net

KMFDM was formed back in 1984. Though the band has been through a few different lineup changes, but KMFDM is still the Kings of Industrial Rock.

There is something about the German heavy beats that gives it a pulse. I was first introduced to Industrial music not by the music itself but from the graphic design of it. When the cool goth kids didn't wear their Bauhaus shirts they had on an iconic KMFDM shirt.

Though this was back then you found out about bands, not through streaming services, but by the different band shirts you'll see at a concert. Because heaven forbid you wear the actual band shirt of the band playing that night (although there are a few exceptions like Morrissey where you wear your old tour shirt as a badge of honor.)

Take into account that many bands come and go, but KMFDM is still around.... their legacy of Industrial Rock from 1984 to 2014 shows that they are doing something right. I haven't had a chance to see KMFDM, and was excited to hear that they are touring.

This is one of those bands that I always wanted to see, but as time goes on I tell myself, "I'll see them next time they come around." Not this time though, this time I have to see them. My album cover obsessed teenage self is kicking my middle-aged self.

KMFDM's North American tour officially kicks off March 8th, in support of their latest album, Kunst, released February 26th, 2013, via Metropolis Records.

Depeche Mode, for the first time, announced that they will appear at this year's South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. This really indicates just how popular SXSW has gotten.

Anyway, Depeche Mode will appear on Wednesday, March 13th at 5pm at the Austin Convention Center. It is a "discussion" to be moderated by Jason Bentley (Music Director of KCRW in Los Angeles). Martin Gore, Dave Gahan and Andy Fletcher, will be discussing their new album, Delta Machine, which I've previously mentioned is coming out March 26th via Columbia Records.

Can't make it to SXSW (like me?), stay tuned for a North American tour announcement soon!

The Faint play Danse Macabre (First Avenue, Minneapolis 12/13/12)

Read More The Faint I got a chance to listen to the remastered Danse Macabre on high quality MP3, courtesy of the record label, Saddle Creek, and I have to say it was nice to revisit the album. I don't have golden ears …

Faint play Danse Macabre 12-13-12
with Trust and Icky Blossoms (First Ave)

ICKY BLOSSOMS

Icky Blossoms has that dance electro-pop sound that gets the party going. As they start the set, onlookers from the crowd join in from the back of the club. Each upbeat tempo coincides with the light show. Each drum snare has its color, each bass riff has its hue, and the vocals have its own saturation of vividness. Icky Blossoms sets the atmosphere to electro dance party.

TRUST

As Trust comes on, it's a whole other beast. Channeling his inner Robert Smith, Robert Alfons flails around like no-one is watching. Deep clouds of fog punctuates each movement. As if he is rising from the cloud of smoke. With his ghastly vocals carrying his movements, as if his body was a marionette. With deep industrial rhythms that set the more somber horror mood.

The Faint is the best of both worlds: blending some horror atmospheric themes with danceable rhythms. Aside from some early technical difficulties, the Faint starts off with some songs from Wet From Birth and Fasciination. Then came the joy of hearing Danse Macabre in its entirety from front to back. This is such a solid album, and so ahead of its time when released in 2001. It was the album that changed my taste. At the time of this release, I only listened to three-chord punk rock and a few alternative bands. I remember so clearly the first time I heard the Faint. It was so different from anything at the time. A year or two later will come the Killers that would get the mainstream attention.

Regardless, Danse Macabre would be on my list of albums I would bring if I was on a deserted island, other albums would include Weezer's Blue album. After concluding the Danse Macabre, they cover Sonic Youth's "Mote" and ends their set with my favorite Faint song (weird that my favorite Faint song is not on Danse Macabre) "Worked Up So Sexual" from Blank-Wave Arcade EP.

Who would've thought 10-11 years ago that this album would finally get its recognition it deserves and be remastered and re-released? By the way, who would've even thought that one of the Faint's songs would be playing on a Kohl's commercial. Oh how the times have changed.

The Faint ends their Danse Macabre tour at their sold out show in their hometown, Omaha at Sokol Auditorium today, December 14th.
