New MP3 from EX-HEX over here

the new album rules! its like old helium and even has a song called "return to pirates".

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Psyched to hear it.

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

If the other songs are as good as Friend To JC, we're in for a treat.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, Maria is right. The album is mostly quite good, and the weaker tracks are still worth sitting through. If Timony was a more commercially ambitious person, this would've been what the follow up to The Dirt Of Luck would've sounded like. The first five songs are all pretty killer.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I appreciate the "fairy tales" phase of her career, and I think that it was good for her to try some different things and play out a set of pet themes, but it's very refreshing to hear her playing to her musical strengths.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 02:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it dirrty and heavy-sounding? If so, I may actually consider picking it up, something I never thought I'd be saying again about a Mary Timony project (not particularly a fan of the post-DOL stuff).

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

i almost feel like the more uptempo songs are like... helium crossed with hardcore elements. its probably the gutsiest guitar playing by a woman we're going to hear all year, if not for a few.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 04:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Hooray! Is it out yet? Maybe I'll go pick that up tomorrow. The Dirt of Luck had a huge influence on my musical tastes - before hearing it in early college I had no patience for most stuff (except some songs by PJ Harvey) that didn't have obvious pop hooks. I actually quite liked The Magic City but was wary of her solo stuff because I couldn't deal with more fairytales.

Any album with a song called "Return to Pirates" is an album I'd like to own. This also reminds me, I should go download "Ghost Car," the "Pat's Trick" B-side which never came out on CD and is one of my favorite Helium songs ever..

― daria g (daria g), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 06:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Ghost Car is awesome...Where are you Matador when we want a Helium Bsides set?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 07:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Rememember when Thurston hosted 120 Minutes and played "XXX" that was awesome!!!

― Aaron A., Wednesday, 2 March 2005 07:07 (twenty-one years ago)

it comes out 4/19.

the magic city is actually quite good -- its new wavey!

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

its probably the gutsiest guitar playing by a woman we're going to hear all year

Just wait... there's a Scout Niblett album a'coming.*

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

(kidding)

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Maria, have you heard the new Sleater-Kinney? There's some great guitar playing on that too. It would wonderful if Mary went out on tour with S-K for this record, that would be an excellent bill.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

The Magic City is awesome. I love the production on that record.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw Helium play with Sleater-Kinney back in the day, it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Some emaciated and ludicrous indie boy gave Mary T a flower in a pot before the show.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

He was right to do it.

― Jimmy Mod Has Returned With Spices And Silks (ModJ), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

It was a little creepy.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Where are you Matador when we want a Helium Bsides set?

there is such a thing floating around slsk--someone's compiled them

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i have the b-sides comp in my slsk shares. fyi.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I have them too, I just want an official, beautiful sounding copy of Hole in the Ground, Lucy, American Jean, etc

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't scout niblett a drummer? not like i really wanna find out for sure.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

You're right, I think she is. Thus, the joke failed on several levels.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

my favorites thus far: on the floor, return to pirates, 9 x 3. the latter sounds so so so much like autoclave!

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 3 March 2005 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread is making me jealous.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 3 March 2005 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

On first listen, this record could use some bass.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i think mary timony's toured with SK in the past, matt. i remember djing a SK show where mary opened. or was it le tigre? ill need to check my notes on this.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Friday, 4 March 2005 01:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I know that they have toured together, I saw them on that tour. It just would make more sense for them to tour together now since they both are going through a resurgant period right now. Ex Hex and The Woods compliment each other pretty well.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Friday, 4 March 2005 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a promo now, and so am no longer jealous.

Two spins so far. Not sure how I rate Ex Hex. On the one hand it sounds so different from MT's recent efforts -- just deeper and more showy in a good way (i.e. I thought The Golden Dove was her reaching the end of the sound she was doing then -- it's my least favorite of any of her efforts, despite the indisputable greatness of "Blood Tree" and a few other okay tracks I can't make myself listen to the while thing) -- but it hasn't got me flippin' my shit just yet. A grower, maybe. It's like when I first heard Pig Lib and thought "Whoa, what's happening here, this is UGLY" and then the next day it all made sense and I was in love.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

After 2 listens, the first side of the record is really good and the second side dissolves a bit into sameyness, albeit good sameyness.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 7 March 2005 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a couple clunkers on the record, i agree. but overall, im just excited that she's changing track.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 7 March 2005 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

The un-Timony Timony!

It’s like she all of a sudden realized that it was time to change things up a wee bit.

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 7 March 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Does anyone say Ti-moan-ee instead of Tim-on-knee thanks to Sleater Kinney's "I Wanna Be Your ~~Joey Ramone~~ Mary Timony" ?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I like her sister Ann more. She's element 51.

Actually, The Golden Dove is really growing on me. It's actually quite good if you're willing to stretch beyond indie rock.

― Shatterproof Glass (dymaxia), Friday, 11 March 2005 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

ive been saying the golden dove was awesome for a while now, but no one wants to believe me...

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Friday, 11 March 2005 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the Golden Dove too, lots even. Dirt of Luck is pretty good, but I'd rather listen to the Magic City, less indie or something.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Friday, 11 March 2005 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

three weeks pass...

couldnt they have picked someone who was a bit more, um, into this record?

http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/t/timony_mary/ex-hex.shtml

i dont like to hate on pitchfork but this disappointed me.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 7 April 2005 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, that was a pretty tossed off review. Seems like he was just trying to reach his minimum word count.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 7 April 2005 01:29 (twenty-one years ago)

pitchfork should have asked me to write that review. i would have ruled!

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:35 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

I think I like this record more than anything else that's come out this year. Has anyone seen any of her recent shows? I'm gonna have to trek up to Baton Rouge to see her and I want to know what to expect.

― adam (adam), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Weird that she's playing Pensacola and not Tallahassee. I can't imagine her having more than one or two fans there, if any. You're bound to draw more interest in a college town, even though I'm not sure how many people here would see her, either.

― That's not cocaine! It's Ian Riese-Moraine! (Eastern Mantra), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw her about a year ago and she had already gone into "rock mode." I thought it was kind of annoying, she was fucking up a lot and didn't sound that great and acting like it didn't matter. She was having fun, but I wasn't. I preferred her when I saw her before, playing keyboards with an accompaniest on percussion. But I am a minor fan, I went because my gf really likes her, and the gf had fun, so maybe others might like it better.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I prefer her Helium stuff - the dirt of luck def being my favorite. Ive had a huge crush on her for ages but she really sucked live the last time I saw her - that was like a couple years ago. she's still super hot though. not that it matters...

― vanessa novaeris (novaeris), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

OMG, i just got back from seeing her live. Her guitar playing is better than anyone in the wrold. My brain totally melted.

― mts (theoreticalgirl), Sunday, 4 June 2006 05:31 (twenty years ago)

perhaps MT is the best guitarist in the "wrold", but on planet earth there are a few million better guitarists.

her set is surprisingly rocking. very good drummer.
