official history
K's really been on lately, with this piece the pretends to be about NOLA hip hop but is really a pretty amazing critique of preservation culture:
A quarter-century from now, when the social problems that Juvenile and others so discomfitingly rap about have become one more strand of the city's official history, they may find themselves honored in just the kinds of musical tributes and cultural museums that currently shut them out. By then, their careers will probably have cooled off. They'll be less influential, less popular, less controversial; not coincidentally, they'll have a less visceral connection to the youth of New Orleans. And finally, their music — and maybe also their recording studios, their custom jewelry, their promotional posters — will seem to be worth saving. Perhaps, like so many other pop-music traditions, "gangsta gumbo" is a dish best preserved cold.
And this piece is a real feel good kinda thing, recycling old library books into art that can then be checked back out of the library. That's some punk shit right there. You'd think it was from the other Portland.

"hey everyone, do you review indie CD's? My buddy is starting a blog
and they're going to get reviews off the ground. No pay (obviously),
but a good place to air opinions. Bookmark this because they're going
to start advertising very, very soon!"

boris boris boris
Okay. Something weird has happened to me in the last month. I have become an instant HUGE fan of two bands whose CDs I purchased based on recommendations of people I trust or magazines I trust or just on trust itself: the Knife's Silent Shout and Boris's Pink.
I am listening to Boris right now and my god, it is so mindblowingly awesome I can't believe it. It starts off with a seven minute homage to shoegaze and ends with "when we’re gone," a ten-minute song that blends absolute doom with absolute Beach Boys and lets the noise go surfing on melody without remorse. It rules! The packaging rules too, not just because I adore pink and find that it hilarious that an underground metal band would name their album pink and bathe everything on the album in pink, but because it is gorgeous good design in the classic art-school fetish kind of way. Plastic folded celophane cover, normal glossy stapled insert and this awesome perferated cardstock four-fold of little Boris "pink" paint chips, so you can paint your walls pink with Boris, which I am clearly doing right now as I listen in my room. Should I tear one off each time to make sure my walls are just the right shade of Boris after I listen?
Yay for music! okay, I'm going back to editing my thesis now.

the widening gap in chat about music
WORDCOUNT002:
ilm is saying that the VV music editor was fired for running a section that was "too academic."
i will say in passing that i have been told that if i want to stay in academia that my writing must become "less journalistic."
i believe in smart, thoughtful and engaged writing about contemporary culture by brilliant minds with dedication to craft. i believe that people come from all parts of the writing world to do this. i believe that spirited debate about culture is good for the mind and that it should go on at every level of discourse from newspapers to classrooms. i believe language should be no more or less complex than it needs to make its point. i am worried for the future of reading about popular music.
all this on the day the 2006 pulitzers were announced. positively orwellian.
