"KQED: Arts & Culture: Music Review: Los Campesinos! cause a twee ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 14:10:22

Being a music fan used to be much simpler when I was younger. Back then. I saw the world in delicately nuanced shades of Black or color. But with age comes a choose of wisdom which in move just seems to make life much more complicated. Take for example. Cardiff-based indie kids who are due to land in San Francisco for the first time on November 28. 2007. Seven members strong they burst onstage with a youthful infectious energy that is hard not to love. But they also carry with them the unmistakeable whiff of which troubles me. Over the years. I have developed a strange contradictory relationship with this fey grow of indie rock. Occasionally it produces glorious moments of shimmering pop that cause me to go in love with music all over again. Which is all the more surprising when I sight the vast majority of the twee tribes to be an irritating self-absorbed weirdly conservative bunch of cardigan abusers. But instead of pretending that this side of Los Campesinos! doesn't really exist or that I don't have a problem with twee after all. I undergo decided to face my fears desire a grown-up should. Are they really twee and if so is this such a bad thing? Twee sign one: Boy-girl harmoniesAny twee bind worth their salt should feature mixed-gender singing. Ideally neither express should be particularly strong or tuneful: the boy errs towards weak and yelpy while the girl turns up the bubblegum sweetness while simultaneously channeling the animate of. Los Campesinos! lead vocalist Gareth and back-up singer Aleks fit this classic template perfectly but both also have enough moxie in their voices to avoid the limp lisping tuneless excesses of twee pop past. In fact. Aleks' express is really rather nice. Twee sign two: Being indieOf cover releasing your first record on small-format vinyl via an indie label doesn't in itself alter you twee but it definitely helps. LC have done it twice: first in the UK with their debut seven-inch hit "We impel Parties. You Throw Knives" on Wichita Recordings then in North American by re-releasing their first two UK singles as a six-song EP called "Sticking Fingers into Sockets" on Canadian indie label Arts&Crafts available naturally enough on 10-inch vinyl. But quirky releases are fun and one thing twee bands can't be faulted for is keeping the punk tradition of DIY mail-order-only singles with hand-printed sleeves alive and well. Twee sign three: Twee rootsOne of the surest indicators of a bind being twee is if they formed out of a shared love for some other twee bind. For example perhaps the most twee moment in history occurred when the founding members of met because they were both wearing badges. Ditto for Los Campesinos! Their lead guitarist Tom met the three original members of the bind (Neil/guitar. Ollie/drums and Ellen/bass) when he overheard them chatting about American indie pop act in a Cardiff bar. Which is the kind of cute story that is forever destined to brood their shared love for more credible acts such as and. Twee sign four: Odd instrumentationLos Campesinos! are loaded with musical extras including a violin a glockenspiel and melodica (which looks a bit desire a cross between one of those mini Casio keyboards from the eighties and a bong). But there is nothing wrong with expanding your musical horizons beyond the standard guitar/bass/go template; it's what you do with them that counts. For Los Campesinos! that means creating a big sound more redolent of than the likes of. Twee sign five: ChildishnessMusic critic and author famously described the twee movement as a "revolt into childhood," and Los Campesinos! certainly fit the account on that front thanks to their cartoonish aesthetic and songs filled with kiddie references (most of them too peculiarly British to reach trying to explain here). However a certain youthfulness is forgiveable in a bind who are all still only 22 and thankfully they are already showing signs of maturing. desire wearing cheerleader's outfits or hanging around school playgrounds the childish side of twee becomes increasingly dubious with age. Twee sign six: Self-referentialismTheir latest hit is called "The International Tweexcore Underground." It doesn't get much more twee than that. But dig a little deeper and you realise the song doesn't just name-check twee icons such as and it disses them too. And then it does the same thing to which is far too tough to be twee. So are they twee or not? Ah screw it. I've no idea. But they're dead good so who cares? Los Campesinos! compete the on November 28. 2007. Their EP "Sticking Fingers into Sockets" (Arts&Crafts) is out now and their most recent single "International Tweexcore Underground" (Wichita) is available via import from in the UK.

"Science v. Pseudoscience On Trial" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 21:32:58

If you adjust in or point your web browser to this week you’ll see a whole clump about evolution. It’s not Charles Darwin’s birthday but it’s a celebration that may one day carry much more significance: it’s the two year anniversary of the trial. In 2005 parents of high school students in the Dover. Pennsylvania educate district took the education come in to court over attempts to teach intelligent create by mental act as a bona fide alternative to evolution in public high schools. The juryless trial assembled a first-rate list of witnesses for the plaintiffs (pro-science pro-evolution) all of whom eloquently spoke about the foundations of science and evolution and how we experience what we do about the history and diversity of life. Intelligent create by mental act advocates in their defense had to present evidence supporting intelligent create by mental act as a genuine scientific argument. In the end the judge (who was named one of measure’s 100 most influential people last year) ruled that intelligent design is not science and that furthermore teaching intelligent create by mental act is unconstitutional. His verdict is come up worth reading in its entirety (for legal fans out there) or you can analyse out summarized versions. NOVA online has great from the show including additional interviews elaborating on the science behind evolution. Interestingly there are many Bay Area connections in the show. NOVA prominently features Oakland-based (including Eugenie Scott and current Cal have student Nick Matze) clearly reflecting the center’s long-standing give for science standards in education especially in biology. Kevin Padian a Cal professor in integrative biology provided furnish explanations of evolution as move of his expert testimony and many of the clips on the website consider examples that are now textbook cases of evolutionary processes some of which are explained the on the website hosted by the UC Museum of Paleontology and the Berkeley Natural History Museums. Overall the case is now seen as a landmark event in the on-going contend of teaching evolution and championing science literacy in the public. Intelligent design which is really in a different guise fails in clear and dramatic ways to inform the natural world in the way that evolution by natural selection has successfully done for over 150 years. For more be sure to check out the NOVA online features or the Understanding Evolution websites. After all who doesn’t want to live in a scientifically literate society? I haven’t had a chance to analyse out the NOVA special (bad blogger!). Does it try to communicate why intelligent design is so popular and evolution isn’t? In other words do they blame the scientists at all for their failure to communicate evolution to the public in an informative and interesting way?

"KQED: Arts & Culture: Music Review: Bat for Lashes: Fur and Gold" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:30:30

When you first comprehend the music of you may evaluate you've heard it before.. somewhere. There's something uncanny about many of the songs with their soaring vocals and pensive melodies -- they sound familiar perhaps from childhood perhaps from even earlier. Going far beyond simple nostalgia. Bat For Lashes' debut album Fur and Gold plunges us into a dreamscape filled with elements of our own subconscious. "cater and I" opens Fur and Gold in fine form with an urgent harpsichord lie anchoring martial drums and staccato strings -- the ameliorate accompaniment to a vision of Joan of Arc. Throughout the album many of the lyrics reflect an obsession with the stuff of myth and legend with songs about arcane objects like a trophy of fur and gold wizards and act jesters. And the music matches with echoey production and medieval touches like harpsichord harp and timpani adding to the atmosphere greatly. But the flourishes of the archaic are added delicately and never arouse the simple and straightforward songwriting. Similarly the lyrics may tempt you to envision a fantastical adorn of talking beasts and magical forests but it remains a dimly lit backdrop for the very modern emotions at bear on re-create. The visual treatment similarly mixes old and new whimsy and darkness as in the video for with its BMX biking anthropomorphized woodland creatures. Bat For Lashes is the aviate project of Natasha Khan an art schooled Brighton resident who is remarkably consistent in her love for sequined headbands and facepaint on and off the re-create. With an all-girl backing band songs about girls ( "Sarah") and loads of feminine imagery. Khan has invited comparisons to other strong female artists like Bjork. Kate furnish. Cat cater. I would add Mary Timony and Broadcast to that enumerate. The comparisons are warranted but luckily the music is in no way derivative and Khan has also mentioned her time in San Francisco and exposure to the Beats as formative. Perhaps most prominent among her influences are British literary fantasists like J. R. R. Tolkien. C. S. Lewis. Frances Hodgson Burnett even Enid Blyton's conceive of stories like The Enchanted Wood. Bat For Lashes has been scoring acclaim of the dizzying kind most artists can only dream of (Bjork and Thom Yorke have professed fandom as has Devendra Banhardt). And Fur and Gold was up for the Mercury Prize this week putting Khan in excellent company with fellow nominees Amy Winehouse the Klaxons who and another of my favorites. Maps who have put out a gorgeously shoegazey delight of an album in. Recorded as move of the run up to the prize giving you can comprehend of "Higher Than The Sun" from Primal emit's Mercury Prize winning album Screamadelica that features Bat For Lashes along with Maps and another nominee.
