Also, New Years with JohnElectric and Jalepeno of Gay Sunshine.





I DJed with them for a little bit, super fun. Hopefully JohnElectric will send me recordings of some of the mix to post here, but until then check out Colotronic for hip news from the Denver crowd.


Also to celebrate the coming of 2009, Rainbow Destroyer Blog will be starting a new Mixtape series. Coming very, very soon. Rainbow Destroyer friends Thumbkin will be kicking off our first mix. Be excited.

Never have swells of electronic noise moved me so much as the Fuck Buttons album Street Horrrsing. They're from Bristol and they look pretty young. Their songs aren't complex and they aren't technically demanding to any degree, but they've developed an aesthetic that rivals Young Team (note: they're touring with Mogwai right now too), Boris' drone, and World's End Girlfriend (when he's noisy at least). The songs are a pretty simple formula: ambient noise goes to loud noise goes to screaming distorted vocals goes to loud noise goes to ambient noise goes to next song. Then repeat for six songs. Add an occasional drum beat, sometimes four on the floor, sometimes Animal Collective through distortion pedals, and that is basically their album. With these "seminal debut albums" by post-rock bands (whatever that means anymore, I'll get to that later), it doesn't really matter if the songs are formulaic, repetitive, or adolescent. It really comes down to the sense of immediacy. It's urgent.

Also, did you know that seminal is derived from the root semen? Because these are the albums that lead to the subsequent development of a new aesthetic or movement. They are the root of creation.
