I Feel Slightly Traumatized

roachface killah — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:31:09 +0000

After watching “Lana Del Rey” a.k.a Lizzy Grant, daughter of ultra rich NY businessman Robert Grant, perform on SNL I was left with a feeling I hadn’t felt before. I now believe it is a form of PTSD. Yeah, it was that bad.

Now I totally understand that most artists, especially new ones, don’t do well on SNL. It’s been notorious for bad acoustics since the beginning. It also separates the Kanye Wests and Linkin Parks from Ashlee Simpsons & Ke$has.

From dlisted

Lana sounded like a Japanese person trying to sing in English with a German accent. I’m sure that what came out of her mouth is not unlike the sounds that come out of a walrus’s mouth when it’s doing high school theater vocal exercises.

Lana is supposed to be some new kind of artist. Removed by the record labels from her typical young girl, pop sound, she has been reinvented as a “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” that sings about James Dean and Video Games. Yeah, that shit cray.

I’ll give her another chance but I think she should pay for my PTSD therapy and meds.

Quote of the Galaxy

roachface killah — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 05:42:17 +0000

“I want to call it The Planets… It’s just my interpretation of what each planet sounds like. I’m gonna go off on that. Just all instrumental. I’ve been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet.

“I’ve been doing this for about two years now, just in my spare time, so to speak. I wanna do it in surround sound. It’ll have to be in surround sound for Saturn to work.”

~ Dr. Dre

Up Coming Shows

No no. I am not posting my up coming shows. Although maybe I should start selling tickets for others to watch me do what I do best. I could even change it up each night. Like Tuesday will be me staring at the computer until 11pm, taking a shower, smoking a fat bowl of bubba kush, taking a shot of bourbon and watching 90210 and the Hills. Wednesday would be a similar show except I’ll watch Modern Family. Thursday we’ll really change it up with NBA playoffs until 9pm and then laundry.

I’m gonna see if I can get my shows listed with ticketmaster, or at least live nation.

Here’s a list of the shows I currently have tickets for….or will get tickets as soon as they are released.

Meth and Red May 7th NOS in San Bernadino
MGMT Greek July 16th (have tickets)
Jay-Z /Eminem Yankee Stadium Sept 13 (will get)
Roger Waters The Wall (I haven’t decided if I want to see this in LA at Staples or in Las Vegas. It’s sometime in Nov)

That’s it. It’s a much shorter list than last year. Either music sucks right now or I suck and need to expand my horizons. The last time I tried that I saw trails for a week. It was a great week.

Pitchfork’s 20 Best Albums of this Decade

roachface killah — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:57:42 +0000

20 Interpol – Turn On The Bright Lights [Matador, 2002]
19 Spoon – Kill The Moonlight [Merge, 2002]
18 Kanye West – Late Registration [Roc-A-Fella, 2002]
17 LCD Soundsystem – Sound Of Silver [EMI/DFA, 2007]
16 Sufjan Stevens – Illinois [Asthmatic Kitty, 2005]
15 The Knife – Silent Shout [Mute/Rabid, 2006]
14 Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavillion [Domino, 2009]
13 OutKast – Stankonia [La Face, 2000]
12 The White Stripes - White Blood Cells [Sympathy For The Record Industry, 2001]
11 Ghostface Killah – Supreme Clientele [Sony, 2000]
10 The Avalanches – Since I Left You [Modular/Interscope, 2000]
09 Panda Bear – Person Pitch [Paw Tracks, 2007]
08 Sigur Rós – Ágætis Byrjun [Smekkleysa; 2000]
07 The Strokes – Is This It [RCA, 2001]
06 Modest Mouse – The Moon & Antarctica [Epic, 2000]
05 Jay-Z – The Blueprint [Roc-A-Fella, 2001]
04 Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot [Nonesuch, 2002]
03 Daft Punk – Discovery [Virgin, 2001]
02 Arcade Fire – Funeral [Merge, 2004]
01 Radiohead – Kid A [Capitol, 2000]

It seems like they got the artist right, just not the album. Then again I find myself thinking about an album pre 2000. Outkast’s Speakkkerboxx may beat out Stankonia and Blueprint 2 (and possibly 3) are better than the first one. Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm (their only good album) is missing from the list. In Rainbows should be there as well. Where is Aha Shake Heartbreak? That’s Kings of Leon at their finest. Eminem’s Slim Shady LP is MIA.

They did get one thing correct….

Arcade Fire’s Funeral is for sure one of — if not — the best album of the decade!
