Twilight Procession Review
The 1970’s through the lenses of Billy Filo’s Hoboken and Brooklyn based Twilight Procession debut release on Moonlight Mile Recordings is out now and available through SnoCap. If you dig Costello, and simple rock jams that resemble Jesus of cool and some big hair rock duo solos you should go celebrate and drink beer out of keg with them tonight at the Studio’s Record Release party. Lots of local rock stars and side burns sure to be present. Just do it. Later.

Dj Spork Show #16 is live and some nuggets of love
I have a lot of catching up to do but right now you should be listening to the most recent dj spork show #16 Stereophonic Valentine Massacre that I recently posted(playa’ to your right). If it weren’t for Heather from fuel friends posting some awesome stuff and classic lost police tracks, elliot smith track listing from up comingnew moon lost archive album from Kill Rock Stars, and some Valentine love from some of her pals Some velvet blog and Duke from The Late Greats, i would not have any new music to mix up my lame daily commute to work. 1) because I am lazy, 2) because I do not have the time.
This week she also turned me onto streetlab, which I’ll probably spin on an upcoming show, they do some weird shit to classic’s like “gimme shelter“, Not much else to report but enjoy the show, subcribe to dj spork review stalker rss, etc, and have a nice week.
Moistboyz 1.0 and SuperSoaker
and early on w/ Claude Coleman on drums at thecourt tavern.
I remember seeing the Moistboyz just about every time they played, which about 5 times, in this later video seems that Guy’s got some ink going on.
New DJ Spork podcast and Tris McCall 2006 poll
If you are hitting this page and wondering why it has not been updated as frequently and why my 25 list is incomplete it is because I have been spending quality blog time hanging out and posting on the mog. I did find time to squeeze in a podcast show recently so you should be listening too the results right now. You can subscribe via rss to it or view descriptions of some of the other djspork shows here.
OTHER NEWS STUFF:The circle of trust for critics choice poll is smallish but the first set of results in. Tris McCall’s put a lot of effort into the editorialization is quite good about describing the state of music:
Top 2006 Album
1. Belle & Sebastian > The Life Pursuit
2. Camera Obscura > Let’s Get Out Of This Country
3. Ghostface Killah > Fishscale
4. The Hold Steady > Boys And Girls In America
5. Neko Case > Fox Confessor Brings The Flood
Read the full top 2006 album report here. I’m not disgruntled too much that my number one album didn’t get on the radar with this bunch in the top 20 but at least The Hold Steady made the top 5 and Tom Waits—Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards number 29. I’m looking forward to the smart ass question results personally as it is more telling of our times. [ read my mog write-up here on all the juicy questions in the poll ]
In other sad, sad news rbally has turned down his awesome bootleg site and is currently just displaying an empty shell.
and you will know me by the size of my post: Chavez, Starlight mints, Portastatic, the Walkmen
When you reach out to a friend he/she doesn’t answer. Insulated in their little world so you figure you’ll make a post for those that are listening. I have honestly been neglecting you bloggy and spending a lot more time on your mog pages but here is a little something for your belly. Of course post is duplicated on mog but whatever…
Your three pointer for the week:
1) There is a free single called “Another one goes by: from The Walkmen off of one of their older releases on emusic, Another One goes by. Very good stuff if you ever wondered what Dylan would do w/ alternative music and a different slant on VU interpretations.
2) In a 3 band twist-up, there are some nice nuggets by the starlight mints, The Winks and Portastatic on i guess I’m floating’s mp3 site as part of his Reach Around postings.
3) And my final offering from a electrical boards posting and for the few guitar indie snobs around here:
chavez their whole Warsaw set from their recent brooklyn show. I asked Rbally to take the mv4 files and give them a little more gain, so lets see if he does. I posted a review of said Dec 2006 show before, but in case you missed it, and in recap, it reminded me why so many bands are week in scope and you should really just break up your band if there is no sort of hit, greatness or if the chicks don’t dig it. Chavez have always been 2/3 in this band qualifications in that respect. The wreckage is filled with some incredible guitar and drum work, with a zero tolerence nod to prog and is the place where the quick math rock geek might have reared itself first in me (don cab and shellac aside). They enable the type of guitarscapes where sonic tone actually speaks to me, in way that lets say mission of burma, gang of four or even jimmy page’s studio work. There is a certain way players handle a piece of wood and carve out music by the very way they touch it, bend strings, set-up the knobs, and well you just say, F it I could never do that. [start english accent here] “Do you know what i mean?”
“Anybody can turn up to 11.” [end]
– Enjoy.
The slight return of Chavez and the fist of Tarver
LIVE BAND REVIEW: We know it is going to be a momentary thing. We know if we want to live for another chance. This was it – sorry baltimore and chicago you lost again. The time to experience the sonic bliss was now; already yesterday. The drumming of The James Low does not even have a suitable metaphor –it is just uncharted. We put up with the bassplayer just got off a plane jokes. The chance to hear a live set(1 of 3) mixed by Bob Weston was worth the price of admission — quality control- check. It was good to see these influencers of influencers. It was not perfect but so damn close to it; we wouldn’t have it any other way. Deep down we hope there is more than a box-set for the men of chavez but we know. They know what is best. So we wait and talk of the sausage fest. The next time it comes-up. We can say again, ,remember when we drank polish beer at Warsaw in Brooklyn and saw Chavez in 2006 and we ran into: walt of Aviso’Hara, those drinking bastardsPilot to Gunner, Morgan, Brian, Scott, Steve, Jen, etc. We hope the legacy and tradition continues; as the chavez brand of indie is in the same vain that howlin wolf inspired the rolling stones. They rose the proverbial bar. This we are certain of.
