We here at Swim Through Frequencies hope we are not the first/only ones to point out that M83's Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts has the best cover art of all time.
This fact is undesputable.

Girl Rock Can Save the World #2

A Short List of Reasons (On a Much Longer List) Of Why St. Vincent's Marry Me Is Great

1) There are some decidedly non-melodic guitar riffs at the end of the first song, “Now Now”, that remind me of similar guitar riffs at the end of Wilco’s “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart”. Reminding me of that song is never, ever a bad thing.
2) The words and the way she starts to deliver the line, “While Jesus is saving, I’m spending all my days in the backgrounds and landscapes and languages of saints,” in the song “Jesus Saves, I Spend” that is (to my ears) a clear homage to the way Patti Smith sings, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine,” at the beginning of “Gloria”.
3) The refrain of “Now Now” is a group of childlike voices repeating, “You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry,” which are instantly rebuffed by Annie Clark’s deathly serious “I’ll make you sorry.”
4) “Your Lips Are Red” starts off sounding like The Knife and Liars fucking.
5) Her disheveled appearance on the cover does absolutely nothing to prepare you for her cool, refined sound.
6) The entirety of the song “Human Racing” makes me giddy.
7) She has the balls to reference Mad Magazine. (“What, Me Worry?”)
8) Her “Dear John” approach to the title track makes me think (hope) that she’s actually asking me (please?).

ATTN: Blogger

Fuck you.
Your formatting, while seemingly simple and user-friendly on the outside, is secretly a hellish nightmare world where cows eat their still-screaming young and lingering souls pray for a death that will never come.
Here's an idea: Instead of giving me text sizes ranging from "Smallest" to "Largest", why don't you join 1996, where people started giving fonts numbered sizes? Ingenious!
Ooh, and I got one: Why not ditch the (apparently mandatory) feature where every picture I upload must be labeled as either "Small" "Medium" or "Large"? This never works out well for anyone! Pictures always come out stretched or poorly condensed.
All I want is for my posts to look homogenized, be consistent within themselves (for chrissake), and not have to worry that if (heaven forbid!) I need to edit a post, my font will suddenly be Goliath-sized for no good reason.
Fuck you,
Sincerely,
Scott.

Pitchfork Music Festival 2007 Recap

GZA
I was completely OK with GZA wearing his own merchandise. It just felt right. The only problem with his set was that 90% of the crowd was just waiting for Sonic Youth to come on. So, while Jason, a few others, and I were all completely pumped and into it, most of the crowd was dead. They missed out.






















SONIC YOUTH
I wish i could convey how fucking crazy the crowd got when Sonic Youth started, but we decided to get the hell out of there.
















CALIFONE










































BATTLES
Were fucking amazing.



























This is a picture of Tyondai Braxton playing both guitar and keyboard AT THE SAME TIME. The other guitarist could do this too. It makes my brain hurt.

IRON AND WINE
Covering Radiohead's "No Surprises"



























CLIPSE
Easily the best show of the day and, for me, the entire festival.





















































The Menomena, Jamie Lidell, and Cool Kids pictures are all kind of lame, but each of them put on a really good show.

CADENCE WEAPON
What a character. He covered Weezer's "Pink Triangle" as a finale (Try to imagine that. You can't.) and kept dissing Fuze's Water Plus ("It's got what plants crave!"). Besides that, though, his DJ was incredible even though he looked like a rapist, and Cadence is one hell of a rapper.






























I am so proud of myself for that.

OF MONTREAL
They were pretty decent, but I don't regret missing most of their set for Cadence Weapon.
















The crowd was obviously super into them, though.

THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
Even though both Dan Bejar and Neko Case were missing (bringing up the completely fair arguement of "Can you really call this group The New Pornographers, then?), The New Pornos put on a really good show. I think my dancing was scaring the middle-aged couple who were doing bowl hits during the set.
















All in all, a great time was had.

A Change of Pace

I’ll take a break from music for a little while to discuss Vanity Fair’s list of The Top 10 Funniest Simpsons Episodes. The list is not terrible, with only one obvious error but a few glaring omissions. I don’t know how they include an episode that even THEY admit “loses some steam” in the “final act” when there are so many perfect Simpsons episodes that don’t have that problem.

I consider myself something of a Simpsons aficionado, so I offer up my own:

Top 10 Funniest Simpsons Episodes Ever

10. Homer at the Bat

Mister Burns, determined to win a company softball game against his rival, Aristotle Amadopolous of the Shelbyville plant, hires an all-star team of baseball players to ‘work’ at the plant. Eight out of the nine of them suffer wacky ailments and Darryl Strawberry and Homer are forced to win the game.

Great Moments: Third baseman Wade Boggs misses the game after being slugged by Barney during a heated argument about the better British Prime Minister: Lord Palmerston or Pitt the elder. The best part of this argument is the utter lack of context provided for it.

09. Two Bad Neighbors

George H.W. Bush moves into a mansion on Evergreen Terrace that has never been seen before nor again. Homer and Bart develop an intense dislike for the former president, and the three prank each other back and forth until the Bushes leave town.

Great Moments: Gerald Ford moves in to the house immediately after the Bushes leave. His exchange with Homer (“Do you like football?” “Yes.” “Do you like beer?” “Yes!”) is one of the funniest in the show. Also, George Bush says scores of things that rank as classic Simpsons quotes, including, but not limited to, “I’ll ruin you like a Japanese banquet! And “If they think George Bush won’t go into the sewer, they don’t know George Bush.”

08. Bart of Darkness

A spot-on parody of Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Bart breaks his leg and spies on Flanders, who he thinks killed Maude. The Simpsons install a pool, which makes Lisa temporarily popular.

Great Moments: Bart dials 911 and reaches the Police Department equivalent of Moviefone. After the pre-recorded operator asks him to type in the code that corresponds to the crime being committed, a frustrated Bart randomly hits numbers. The voice on the other line says, “You have selected Regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press 1.” Bart hangs up.

07. Homie the Clown

Krusty is going out of business, so he opens up a bunch of Krusty Klown Kolleges. Homer attends one and starts posing as the real Krusty at occasions that Krusty feels are beneath him. He is mistaken for the real Krusty by the mob, who keeps trying to kill him.

Great Moments: Krusty bets huge on the Washington Generals, a basketball team playing against the Harlem Globetrotters (“I thought they were due!”). He yells at the TV, “He’s spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it!”

Also, when Homer is posing as Krusty to buy a new car, the mob begins sniping at him. They miss repeatedly, hitting the car Homer’s looking at. When Homer asks what the holes are for, the salesman says, “Those are speed holes. They make the car go faster.” When the mob shoots the car again, the salesman says, “You know what I think? I think you should buy this car.”

06. Homer the Great

Homer gains admittance to the secret, ancient society of Stonecutters, led by Number One (voiced by the incomparable Patrick Stewart). After disgracing himself, he is discovered to be The Chosen One, and is immediately appointed to lead the society. Eventually, the society gets fed up, disbands and changes their name to “The Ancient Mystic Society of No Homers”

Great Moments: To cheer Homer up about losing his followers, Marge tells him that he’s already a member of The Simpson Family. She says it’s “A very exclusive club” with only five members, and that only two of those members have “special rings.” At that, both Bart and Lisa say, “Yeah!” raise their hands, Wonder-Twins style, displaying big plastic rings that make whistling noises.

05. A Streetcar Named Marge

Marge, looking for some excitement in her life, auditions for the musical version of A Streetcar Named Desire, called Oh! Streetcar! The musical destroys the meaning of the original play in traditional Simpsons parody glory. Homer learns a valuable lesson about cherishing his wife.

Great Moments: In a parody of The Birds, Homer, Bart, and Lisa go to pick up Maggie from the Ayn Rand School for Tots. Maggie had recently led a revolt in the nursery, which ended with all the babies retrieving their confiscated pacifiers. When Homer and the kids show up, hundreds of babies are perched around the room, the collective sound of their pacifier-sucking echoing through the school. Homer tiptoes through the kids, picks up Maggie, and leaves. Once out side he shudders and says, with terror in his voice, “Babies.”

04. Marge vs. The Monorail

A Simpsons classic. Burns is fined $3 million for dumping nuclear waste, and the town tries to decide what to do with it. Phil Hartman (the show lacks something integral without him, he was a genius) voices Lyle Lanley, a conman who sells the town a monorail. Marge opposes the idea, and rightfully so: the entire thing goes to hell. Eventually, Homer, who took a job as a monorail operator, saves the day.

Great Moments: Leonard Nimoy is chosen as the celebrity to ride the monorail on its maiden voyage. At the end of the episode, after Homer saves everyone, Nimoy says to no one in particular, “My job here is done.” Barney replies, “What do you mean? You didn’t do anything.” Nimoy simply chuckles and says, “Didn’t I?” before being beamed up.

03. Homer vs. The 18^th Amendment

After Bart accidentally gets drunk in public and caught on camera, a group of angry mothers demand prohibition for the town. An old, never enforced, prohibition law is found on the books, and the town’s alcohol is disposed of. Rex Banner, an Elliot Ness parody, replaces Chief Wiggum and Homer begins bootlegging liquor.

Great Moments: Homer and Bart leave the house to deliver the liquor to Moe’s. On his way out, Homer yells, “We’re going out, Marge! If we don’t come back, avenge our deaths!” to which Marge simply replies, “Ok!”

Moe disguises his bar as a pet store. When the police bust through the door, everyone hides their beers behind their backs. Suspicious, Rex Banner demands, "What kind of pet shop is filled with rambunctious yahoos and hot jazz music at 1 a.m.?" After thinking it over, Moe offers, "Um.. the best damn pet shop in town!" to which everyone holds their beers above their heads and cheers before quickly hiding them again.

Later, after the whole incident is settled, Homer proposes a toast: “To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.”

02. Lemon of Troy

Springfield’s historic Lemon Tree is stolen by a gang of ruffians from Shelbyville. Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, Todd, Martin, and Database go undercover in Shelbyville to retrieve it. Hilarity ensues. This episode is sheer brilliance, allowing a whole bunch of minor characters to shine, especially the kids. It’s one of those wonderful Simpsons episodes where almost everything that is said can stand alone as a one-liner, but the dialogue never feels stilted or forced.

Great Moments: After failing to learn Roman Numerals in school earlier in the episode, Bart must determine what the Roman Numeral for 7 is to escape a lion cage. Remembering the Rocky movies, he says, “Wait a minute! Rocky II plus Rocky V equals Rocky VII: Adrian’s Revenge!”

The kids split up into teams. Bart and Milhouse form “Omega Team,” Todd and Database become “Team Strike Force,” and before Bart can assign Martin and Nelson a name, Martin exclaims “Team Discovery Channel!” to which Nelson groans and says, “Your wussiness better come in handy.”

And then, one of my favorite Simpsons exchanges of all time, between Bart and his Shelbyville equivalent while Bart is undercover:

   Shelby: We just got word there's Springfield kids in town.

            [all the kids growl]

        Bart: Curse those handsome devils!

01. You Only Move Twice

This is it. The pinnacle. I have never seen and am sure I never WILL see
an episode as brilliant as You Only Move Twice. Homer gets a job he’s
actually GOOD at for once, only his boss is an evil genius (but a nice guy!)
and his family hates their new town. Albert Brooks as Hank Scorpio is
hands down the funniest guest appearance in any episode. Every one of
his lines is pure gold. Marge’s descent into alcoholism (“I’ve found myself
drinking a glass of wine every day! I know doctors say you should drink a
glass and a half but I just can't drink that much!”), Lisa’s allergies to
everything, and Bart being forced into a remedial class are all hilarious,
but Scorpio and Homer steal the show.

Great Moments: To demonstrate said show-stealing, I believe these will
do nicely:

 Hank: Hi, Homer. What can I do for you?

Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.

 Hank: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that?

       Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut,

   that's on third.

Homer: Uh-huh.

 Hank: There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got

       Put-Your-Butt-There.

Homer: Mm-Hmm.

 Hank: That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact,

       they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on

       third.

Homer: Oh, the hammock district.

 Hank: That's right.

 Hank: By the way, Homer, what's your least favorite country: Italy or

       France?

Homer: France.

 Hank: [chuckles]  Nobody ever says Italy.  [sets the coordinates of a

       giant laser gun]

Hank: If you need anything, you call me.

Homer: All right. What's the number?

 Hank: I've never had to call my own company. Someone will tell you

       upstairs. But, Homer, on your way out, if you wanna kill

       somebody, it would help a lot.

Fucking hell, that’s funny. Nothing on TV will ever be written like that again. 
And so, as The Simpsons continues to be unfunny and they plan to 
release a movie in celebration, I have appreciated this retrospective on what 
used to be Television’s Greatest Show.

Top Five Lamest Pitchfork Reviews Ever

I don’t hate on Pitchfork. I visit the site daily, I’m going to their festival for the second year in a row, and, for the most part, I agree with their music taste. That’s not to say that I swear by them or that they’re always right. Rather, I believe they’ve done much more good than harm in the music world, and I get a bit tired of seeing people immediately dismiss a new band because of hype that Pitchfork has given it. (Just learn to think, everyone, and it will be OK.)

That said, sometimes Pitchfork reviews are unforgivably bad. Whether it is because the reviewer decides to tell a cute story rather than review an album, or because they talk about “the cultural zeitgeist” rather than review an album, or whatever, Pitchfork has a tendency of being Kinda Lame on Occasion. I exclude the reviews are clearly joke-oriented from my criticism, because there’s nothing I love more than a good laugh at Louis XIV’s expense. Instead, the reviews I take issue with give albums either incredibly mediocre or inexplicably wonderful scores without saying much of anything about the music contained within.

So, we here at Swim Through Frequencies have taken it upon ourselves to compile a list of:

The Five Lamest Pitchfork Reviews Ever Without Mentioning that Flaming Lips Album they Gave a 0.0 Because They Already Know that was Silly

1. The Weakerthans – Left and Leaving

Rating: 6.1

Sam Eccleston, throughout his four-paragraph and two-line review of Left and Leaving, does not mention one single song title. In fact, he only ever quotes lyrics from the album once, and he GETS THEM WRONG. So, you might ask, what does he spend the review talking about? Well, the first two paragraphs (of, I will remind you again, a four-paragraph review) debating whether or not The Weakerthans are Punk or Emo.

And that’s retarded.

One listen to Left and Leaving by anyone with even a fleeting knowledge of punk rock should be more than enough to determine that this album is far, far away from punk. So John Sampson used to be in Propaghandi (a fact that Eccleston seems to think is important enough to mention again and again), does that mean his entire musical catalogue has to be punk rock?

Then, after a paragraph where he basically says he’s kinda bored with the record without doing any actual, you know, REVIEWING, the final paragraph is ONCE AGAIN a meditation on punk being “dead”. I’m not even really convinced that he listened to the album past the first song whose lyrics he misquotes.

2. Minus the Bear – Highly Refined Pirates

Rating: 5.4

Eric Carr says he can sum up Minus the Bear’s debut album in a sentence provided to him by his brother: “It’s indie rock. Eh.”

If I could sum up his review, I would choose this sentence provided to me by Eric Carr: “How can an album as tight, consistent, and energetic as Highly Refined Pirates be at once so thoroughly unimpressive?” That’s actually a good question, Eric! I would answer YOUR question with a question: “What makes sense about that sentence?”

I don’t have a problem with Pitchfork not liking this album. They can not like whatever they want. My problem with the review stems from two factors:

1) They gave MTB’s debut EP, This is What I Know About Being Gigantic, an 8.6. MTB’s sound did not change nearly enough (especially if Carr admits that the album is “tight, consistent, and energetic) to warrant such a score drop from EP to album. A different person wrote the review for the EP, however, which may be part of the issue.

2) Carr, like Eccleston before him, keeps the actual reviewing of the music to a minimum. He repeats over and over that he’s heard it all before, but with no specifics to back his opinion up. Even when he actually mentions song titles (he mentions two that he likes in the last paragraph, both conspicuously at the beginning of the album) he doesn’t say anything about them, just that he thinks they’re pretty good.

3. YACHT – I Believe in You Your Magic is Real

Rating: 6.8

Dan Deacon – Spiderman of the Rings

Rating: 8.7

Both of these albums, while certainly not incredibly similar, can be described as “Glitch Pop.” In Rob Mitchum’s review of I Believe in You…, he cannot freaking stop comparing it to Max Tundra’s 2002 Mastered by Guy at the Exchange. He just cannot stop. As far as I can tell, the fact that YACHT’s album is influenced by MBG@TE but isn’t as good as it (in Rob Mitchum’s opinion) is reason enough to give the album a 6.8. Alright, whatever.

The review of Dan Deacon’s Spiderman of the Rings, however, an album clearly influenced just as much (if not more so) by MBG@TE, never sees Tundra’s album mentioned once and gets slapped with an 8.7. Again, different reviewers, but you’d think someone would have gone “Hang on a minute!”

4. Art Brut – Bang Bang Rock and Roll

Rating: 8.9

To get right to the point, Rob Mitchum’s review of Art Brut’s debut album reads more like a press release than a piece of music journalism. Accented with big, CapsLock’d, bold excerpts from the album’s lyrics (which just make me feel like Eddie Argos is shouting at me even when I’m not listening to his music), Mitchum can’t seem to get over how fucking funny these cats are! Every time he mentions a line, its either “sly” (about “Formed a Band”) or “the best joke on the album” (about the title track) or “hilarious” (a sweeping statement about pretty much the entire thing). It hurts me that, just because indie rock is “Too Too Serious” or whatever, whenever someone shows up with even the slightest hint of humor (Argos, James Murphy) they’re hailed as saviors. I doubt many people would find anything laugh-out-loud funny about Bang Bang Rock and Roll. Maybe Argos’ plea for kids to “Stay off the crack!” at the end of “My Little Brother,” but there HAS to be something more to the album than just some witty one-liners, right?

Apparently not for Mitchum. “Art Brut, through their thoroughly unpretentious embrace of pretentiousness, are the most punk new band I've heard in years, punk having lost itself long ago to the pretentiousness of unpretentiousness.” Yeah, alright. Whatever.

5. Joanna Newsom – Joanna Newsom and the Ys Street Band EP

Rating: 8.7

Alright now, before someone gets the wrong idea, we here at Swim Through Frequencies love Joanna Newsom with all of our hearts and souls. We even love “Colleen”, the only real song on Newsom’s three-song Ys Street Band EP. That’s right, the EP is three songs long, two of which are simply orchestrated (and, in the case of “Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie”, unnecessary) versions of old songs. So, what makes this EP worth reviewing, let along slapping a “Best New Music” label on it? Fuck if I know. Pitchfork HAS a section for individual tracks, and “Colleen” could have easily been reviewed there. It’s basically all Doug Wolk talks about in his review anyway. Although I can hardly find fault with Wolk’s writing (he does a fairly good job, he’s just got so little material to grapple with) the review is unnecessary, absurdly highly rated, and awarded “Best New Music” seemingly just because it’s from Newsom.

It's Time for List Time

Well, it’s about that time. The start of July marks the end of the first 50% of the year, so we here at Swim Through Frequencies conform to the time-honored tradition of making an:

Alliterative Half Year-End List of Best Albums (So Far) (Remix)

Bands: Besting Boxer? Bonne chance.

My Favorite Silly/Awesome Things Rappers Have Ever Said

“Climb behind vagina, then I hymen grind her.”

- Cam’ron, “Harlem Streets”

In an action that I cannot imagine being comfortable for either party involved, Cam’ron manages to position himself behind a woman’s vagina (presumably in her fallopian tubes or uterus) and “grind” all over her hymen.

In addition, according to Wikipedia, “Many sources, including romance novels or anything that describes virginity loss, mistakenly indicate that the hymen is somewhere up inside the vagina. This is a common misconception. The hymen is part of the external genitalia.” So, therefore, Cam’ron’s repositioning of himself is actually counterproductive to his goals. He should have stayed in front of vagina, to better grind the woman’s hymen.

Swim Through Frequencies cannot fathom why anyone on this earth would want to do this.

“Who knew you could fit on your wrist a whole pound of diamonds?”

- T.I., “King Back”

This line is awesome because of how I picture T.I. coming to this realization, in an Unbreakable-ish sort of scene where, after piling several ounces of diamonds on his wrist, he kept demanding, “More weight.” After his discovery, he felt it extremely necessary to inform the listening public that it is, in fact, possible to fit an entire pound of diamonds on your wrist if you have that sort of disposable cash.

“I'm super I'll make a bitch squirm for my, Super Sperm”

- Method Man, “Method Man”

The entirety of “Method Man” really deserves to be quoted in this list, but I don’t really have the room. Method Man says things like “Paddycake paddycake/ Hey! The Method Man!” in this song, but nothing is quite as silly or misguided as the above quoted line.

As far as I can tell, Method Man is trying to express that women have an intense desire to receive his sperm, which has some sort of wonderful power. However, his choice of the word “squirm,” while it is an obvious enough choice to rhyme with “sperm,” conjures up images of girls being held prisoner while they struggle to get away, rather than willingly accepting (or hankering after) Meth’s little Men.

On top of that (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong here) I doubt there are very many girls who, no matter who they’re sleeping with, actually are after the sperm of said man. Those tend to be just an unpleasant after effect, rather than the prize. Maybe with Method Man, it’s different case.

Still, gross.

“Niggas ask why I use my glock. Cause it’s 2003, motherfucker! I refuse to box.”

- Trife, “Biscuts”

This, like the T.I. quote, is funny and awesome because of the scene that must be occurring around Trife at the time:

*Trife shoots a guy*

BYSTANDER: Hey, Trife. I noticed that you chose to shoot that man with a gun, instead of challenging him to a boxing match. Why is that?

TRIFE: Man, haven’t you seen a calendar lately? It’s 2003, man. Guns are in. Boxing is old hat.

This line can also be applied to Trife busting a cap in a punching bag, Trife answering a challenge by Apollo Creed, Trife being annoyed by a cartoon Kangaroo that he thinks is a mouse, and Trife attempting to mail a present to his mom by shoving it in the barrel of his gun and slapping a stamp on it instead of gift wrapping it.

“Sit on my lap. It’s not a gat, sugar.”

- Ghostface Killah, “Good”

When taking a job as a mall Santa every year, Ghostface must reassure his young customers that what they feel underneath them is not a concealed weapon, but simply his erect penis.

“Runnin around here like some brand new pussy that's about to get fucked”

- DMX, “What’s My Name?”

In another borderline pedophilic line, DMX compares “Rap niggas” who are “still actin up” despite DMX’s numerous reminders that this is not a fucking game to a band spanking new vagina that is moments away from participating in intercourse.

Now, unless a woman has something along the lines of a Vaginal Transplant (which I just made up), “brand new pussy” cannot really be anything other than an infant’s vagina fresh out of the womb. Why anyone in their right mind would want to have sex with this infant, how said infant would “run around,” and why DMX would ever, ever burn such a horrifying image into my mind are all left unanswered.

“I get head in the strangest places.”

- Lil’ Wayne, “Suck It or Not”

Cam’ron and Lil’ Wayne talk a lot about how many beej’s they get in this song, and I guess the listener is supposed to sort of smile awkwardly and say, “Good for you,” while patting them condescendingly. This line is particularly interesting, however, because Wayne refuses to clarify which places, specifically, he is receiving fellatio, leaving it all up to the listener’s imagination. Some of my favorites:

On top of a blimp as it crashes to the ground

The Cretaceous period

On the set of The ‘L’ Word

Album of the Month: June 2007

White Rabbits - Fort Nightly

Because if every band's debut album sounded like this, no one would care about the Sophomore Slump.


(I don't care that this came out on May 22, because I get to make up my own rules like that.)
