It's at 76 Rutledge Street, between Beford and Wythe -- way southside Williamsburg. Haven't been there yet, so I don't know what it's like.

uh, BEDFORD and Wythe, obv.

while on the subject of people enjoying themselves at shows...anyone from the Cle area remember, what was his name, Bleeding Ears John? Running circles upstairs at the Stereolab concert at Fairchild in Oberlin, or throwing pork rhinds everywhere at a Cul de Sac show at Speak In Tounges, I thought he was just some asshole who came to shows to annoy people, then me being told "oh, he's a real music lover, he just get's drunk and excited."

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 17:14 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

nope, but both those shows postdate my Oberlin/CLE days, I think. He sounds awesome, though. Not that there's ever seemed to be a shortage of kickass rockin-out maniacs in Cleveland.

note to hurlo: i have the recipe! expect it momentarily! now can i be on the list for friday?

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 17:44 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

if hurlo can't help...you can be a (shutter) DJ groupie...

Newsonic is a pretty odd space. I think it's a Wesleyan thing. Don't know the people, but they used to have lots of art-music type events. But also heavy on the Shy Child/El Guapo axis. I remember low ceilings and carpeting and lots of Jews outside. Lots of Jews inside as well, but considerably less observant.

lauren, props coming via email. and blueberry pie recipe.

haha. elderly ny rock community in being meatloaf-making, pie-baking homebodies shocker!!

Sounds like the the nu-Williamsburg tentacles stretching ever further south.

By the way, I could use both of those recipes.

meatloaf recipe is yours, if you'd like.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 20:29 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

likewise the pie, as long as you swear to use wild blueberries...and if that's yr real email.

I like the suitable derailment of this thread.

― Hurlothrumbo (hurlothrumbo), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 20:40 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

Yeah it's real, and yes I swear, you'll have to tell me why wild blueberries, in the email.

To bring it back around, Fat Bobby loves pie.

who else is playing the Newsonic show?

― Russ, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 23:01 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

Mink Lungs, Dynasty and someone else, I can't remember. They're usually pretty good parties, that is people seem to hang out and have a good time. It's hard for me to judge, since I never have a good time. If Crazy Rhythms can get a dance party started, we'll go all night. If not, we won't.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 23:21 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

The other band is Ex-Models. A good time is assured all round.

eleven months pass...

Two of my favorite things in 2004 were Secret Wars and the EP. Praise thee Oneida. A new record (The Wedding) is supposedly coming later in the year. And from the website: "We’re spending December recording all the string sections, and then it should be just about done." String sections? Is that a joke or are these tears of joy justified?

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:38 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Oneida = great.
And good people too.

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:53 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

One of the best shows I saw in 2004 and one of the best records I heard in 2004.

― alex in montreal, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:01 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

I never did get that pie recipe, but the bread pudding was excellent!

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:06 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

The Nice./Splittin Peaches EP is essential for "Hakuna Matata" (why oh why was this not released on vinyl???!??). It's a real treat, one of the best & most idiosyncratic things they've done yet.

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:11 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

i think the whole EP is awesome, mcd. each of the songs seems to extend in a different direction, and each one seems totally fruitful. definitely my favorite current band, which i seem to say around here all the time. my friend and i were talking yesterday about how we both hope The Wedding really delivers, and is as good as it seems like it could be. brilliant fucking band, totally good dudes, and seemingly getting better everyday.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:32 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

listening to the EP now. those stick clicks and guitar tone on "summerland" are fucking great.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:57 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

I agree with you. They are so likable and keep getting better and better. Everytime you think you've got them pegged they do a "Sheets of Easter" or a "Last Act, Every Time" or a "Hakuna Matata" to let you know they're paying attention, and better not sleep.

Really, though, it's too bad that the EP didn't get the Version City treatment, I obsess over the beauty of the Each One LP.

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 17:06 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

oh man - now im totally excited about The Wedding.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 17:10 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

"String sections? Is that a joke or are these tears of joy justified?"

It's true, actually -- the record won't be released till the beginning of May, I think, but all the strings have been recorded. The record will be finished by the end of this weekend. I hope it works out, too. You guys are very nice.

I wish the EP was on vinyl, too -- but it was not in the plans for Ace Fu, the label that put it out. The Wedding will definitely be on (gatefold) vinyl.

i'll join the lovefest: strings + oneida sounds really cool and i'm very curious to hear it.

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 17:33 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Very cool.

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 20:24 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

I've liked the odd Oneida song but I really didn't get Secret Wars at all. No real killer tracks, just a bunch of half-baked bong-rock gestures. They sound like Das Damen without the pretty tunes.

― NickB (NickB), Thursday, 6 January 2005 09:57 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

say wha?
secret wars was prolly one THE best things of last year, IMHO.
i yearn for a live album as each time i see em, they just let loose and roar.
jane said that the 'Speedo' stuff was out of fuckin control and it's currently sittin on a shelf, along with a ton of other stuff they've done yet just don't have the time/inclination to release. that makes me sad;(
i have yet to grab that EP...
i wonder how mr. bonello's (rickety records) last recording venture went. he had many a camera, and the sound was pretty good, too! outdoor show oneida is as good as indoor, though i worried of rain, so my cam was a bit far off. my battin record for gettin em goes 2 great, 1 lesser.

COME BACK ONEIDA! PITTSBURGH NEEDS YOU!!
(and luvs ya!)

keep wearin that steeler gear, bobby! you may have turned the tide...

― eedd, Thursday, 6 January 2005 18:54 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

What's the 'Speedo' stuff you speak of?

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 6 January 2005 19:23 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

i think they may've mentioned it previously, and i maybe stating the name of the film incorrectly, BUT, the Oneidians did a full score for an indie film, and apparently the score was 'too much' for the flick itself, ie-too crazy. which really makes me wanna hear because the film is about demolition derby, which would seem to go with Oneida.

well, to me, maybe.
jane said they were sorta pissed about it, but the d00d who made said flick was really cool fella, so they just chalked it up to 'Oneida luck' and to the shelf to went. to await usage at some later date. i think on the site they make mention of using it for some zombie flick they may or may not do...
take it with a grain, i s'pose.

― eedd, Thursday, 6 January 2005 21:31 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Oh right. Would love to hear that sometime.

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 6 January 2005 21:38 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

one month passes...

I am totally digging this band! I bought the Nice/Splittin Eaches EP a while back and it was er, "nice" enough but "Each One Teach One" is absolutely incredible! What else should I look out for? I have "Secret Wars" on my HD but haven't taken the time to listen to it yet.
I like the way that Each One.. is a double album even if it could fit on one CD. The first side is just too BIG to be jammed in on the back of the second side.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 18 February 2005 12:56 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

EOTO>nice/SP>liars/oneida split>=SW>anthem, but all of those are fantastic. supposedly, The Wedding is going to change it all, though. also, search their "jazz is the teacher, funk is the preacher" cover.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 18 February 2005 14:29 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

and godDAMN "hakuna matata" is so fucking awesome. also, great battiato cover on the What's Your Function? compilation. ILM nepotism all over this thread...

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 18 February 2005 15:54 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

My favourite is the "You've got to look into the.... LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT" track. I mean, WOW!

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 18 February 2005 15:57 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

These guys blew me away when I saw them at Tonic.

― J.D. Forgang (Jonathan Forgang), Friday, 18 February 2005 16:29 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Yeah Dog Latin, that is the real shit. Each One was originally vinyl only so that's probably why it is two discs (to reflect the double LP version). The Nice./Splittin Peaches EP is a weird one for an introduction but I love it. The best/my favorite album is Each One followed by Secret Wars. The other albums all have their moments (see "Double Lock Your Mind") but as for complete pieces EO and SW are hard to top.

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 18 February 2005 16:38 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Yeh Splittin Peaches/Nice was a bit unexpected but I figured it would be somehow.

LIGHT! LIGHT! LIGHT! LIGHT! LIGHT!

in june/july, i was so obsessed with "sheets of easter". here is evidence...

End of a half-decade: ILM kinda official Top 100 Albums & Tracks Poll - VOTING OVER (thank heavens) (2 matching messages)

omigod - i can let oneida's "sheets of easter" slide. no one was gonna vote for that for tracks, anyway. but if i change my votes to all-strokes, is someone gonna come along and rescue i get wet? otherwise, im gonna be paralyzed by indecision for the next 36 hours.
so, lemme make it official.
my nomination of "sheets of easter" is rescinded for the strokes' "last nite".

i had a few drunk nights this past spring where i blared scott 4 and collapsed in bed. those were the more poetic/low-level-depressed nights. andrew wk is a personal drunk favorite. also my perennial all-the-time favorite "sheets of easter" by oneida. sometimes when im drunk, i just want to play something that will tear my head apart. i guess raw power too.

CD80X2: a specialized introduction to rock (1 matching message)

so my friend peter (wow, same name, blah blah) works with me at a record store. he loves the velvet underground, crass, dub reggae, and 20th century composition. last week, after i offhandedly suggested an album (nico's the end) to him, he told me i needed to "school him in rock". so, considering his musical tastes, and my own favorites, i made him a 2-CD80 mix, with the first disc being shorter, poppier songs, and the second disc being longer, more experimental rock. how did i do?
CD-1
1. prince - let's go crazy
2. fleetwood mac - the ledge
3. the homosexuals - vociferous slam
4. the fall - how i wrote "elastic man"
5. sly & the family stone - family affair
6. pavement - elevate me later
7. the sonics - the witch
8. guided by voices - watch me jumpstart
9. neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea
10. the raincoats - fairytale in the supermarket
11. the rolling stones - ventilator blues
12. blue cheer - summertime blues
13. os mutantes - ave lucifer
14. fairport convention - reynardine
15. bob dylan - as i went out one morning
16. the kinks - the village green preservation society
17. t. rex - metal guru
18. brian eno - needles in the camel's eye
19. unrest - make out club
20. the new pornographers - letter from an occupant
21. the strokes - you talk way too much
22. the stooges - down on the street
23. thin lizzy - the boys are back in town
24. the slits - shoplifting
25. wire - pink flag

CD-2
1. scott walker - farmer in the city
2. mars - helen for(d)sdale
3. can - oh yeah
4. boredoms - vision creation newsun track 1 (circle)
5. black dice - the dream is going down
6. oneida - sheets of easter
7. nico - it has not taken long
8. joni mitchell - the jungle line
9. captain beefheart - hot head
10. public image ltd. - theme
11. perrey/kingsley - the little man from mars

so, maybe im a little rockist...

They've cut records with 2 minute organ driven songs, 20 minutie 1 chord droneathons, cock-rock jams, baroque orchestral pop...I think they've quietly been amassing one of the more eclectic and interesting catalos of recent bands.
