1. How did you get into 29? (Bone Thugs-N-Harmony)
My brother used to play it in his car all the time and honestly, I would get really jittery, scared, and anxious, I don't know why. I used to want to cry and tell him to turn it off but I just sat through it. Later, I listened to them on my own and completely fell in love with them.

Triple J Hottest 100 Of All Time Voting
I consider this to be a very hard task, I mean how can you leave out all of those songs that have supported & kept you sane over the years from a measly "top 10". However, I feel like I've whittled it down (begrudgingly) to the ones that have made an impact to how I listen to music or have somehow changed who I am. Here we go (in no particular order)...

Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains
This one will always be a favourite, I can't deny that I am somewhat biast with this track over other Garbage songs. There are So many good times associated to this song for a good reason.
Notable mention: My Lover's Box

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
I deffinately think it'll be right up there in the count down. Very haunting & for that fact it was chosen above a number of Jeff's other songs.
Notable mention: Johnny Cash's version of Hurt

The B-52's - Rock Lobster
I was way too young to experience this song in the 80s but it's a much loved one now.

Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground
This song also had a big influence on the type of music I choose to listen to now days, the whole album was great. Just a bit of a pitty the singer & band went their separate ways.

Lamb - Fly
I don't think this song was ever released as a single but it probably should have been. I remember seeing them play this live back when the Palace in St Kilda was still around. Everyone in the audience just jumping so high & the music being pretty overwhelming.
Notable mention: Gorecki

The Breeders - Cannonball
Kim Deal is the shit...they are still making great albums even now.
Notalble mention: Drivin' on 9

Cat Power - Metal Heart
Chan Marshall has two versions of this song, the first verion from the album Moon Pix was a much more stark sounding one compared to the Jukebox one in which she had some help from new band members that definately influeced the song's new sound. Both are good choices for times of introspection.

Divinyls - Science Fiction
One of the best female led bands, can't go past firery redheads for good singers! Plus Science Fiction has one of the catchiest drum beats ever.

Wanda Jackson - Funnel Of Love
Great guitar riff, great gravely/gutsy female voice for a singer in the 50s. Wen't & saw her at the Corner Hotel a couple of years ago & she's still got it! This song made me realise how great music from the 50s actually was.

Patti Smith - Gloria
I have to say it, Patti's version is so much better than the original. She completely upped the anti for anyone else that would try to follow her footsteps.
Notable mention: Horses

So being obsessed with lastfm for a little over a year now, I've decided to reflect on what my ears have fell upon.

1. What's your favorite song by 15?
Grateful Dead - China Cat Sunflower

My favorite version is probably China Cat Sunflower - I know You Rider @ Field Trip 08/27/72

That is a tough question to start this things off...



2. How did you get into 20?
City and Colour - I am not too sure when was the first time I heard Sometimes. It came out in '05, but it must have been a year at after at least. Bring Me Your Love

3. Who is your favorite member in 1?
The Avett Brothers - "I wonder which brother is better"..... This is messed up making me decide which brother I like better. I am going to have to say Seth.

This is probably what twisted my arm -




4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 31?
Tokyo Police Club -

Citizens of Tomorrow

"I have a microchip
Implanted in my heart
So if I try to escape
The robots will blow me apart
And my limbs will go flying
And land before the ones that I love
Who would wail and would weep
But the robots would keep them at bay
While I shut my eyes
For the very last time.
Citizens of tomorrow be forewarned. "

It reminds me of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut's book Player Piano.



5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
Ottis Redding - The closest I have come to a live Otis show is putting some change in the Juke box and letting my soul travel back in time.

Out of my top 50 I have seen 27 of them live. Last night would have made it 28, but the NBA drafted delayed me making the opener. Fuck the Knicks for wasting my night, and I hate Minnesota for taking my boy Johnny Flynn. I wanted him in NY!



Yup just another reason why it is IMPOSSIBLE to truly become a Knicks fan.

6. What's your favorite album from 10?
Horse Feathers - This is a toss up. I know they just have two LPs; Words Are Dead and House With No Home, but in my ears they are pretty much interchangeable. I guess the objective of this list is to not be impartial and decide.

okay - House With No Home

7. Do you own any merchandise from 3?
Modest Mouse - Well I wanted a MM shirt badly, but one specifically. I wanted the green one which ended up being the ladies version. That didn't scare me away, but purchasing the large still wasn't large enough for my scrawny ass so I gave it away.

I have all of their music, and just picked up that orange 7".



8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
Frightened Rabbit - I have been listening to these guys for a while. My fondest memory would have to be their show at Le Poisson Rouge. Their whole set list was determined by the audience. I learned that the artist themselves make for better song selection, but it was my first show of that nature.

The set started with My Backwards Walk which proves my point about leaving it to most uneducated audiences.

9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2?
Langhorne Slim - Ha this question is funny. Sean is actually the same age as I am and we have other things in common too. Ha!



10. When did you first get into 8?
Mason Jennings - He's been around awhile prior to retiring my turntables. He however was one of the first people I got into when I picked up my guitar. Circa 2002?



11. Who likes 4 along with you?
My Morning Jacket - Anyone with ears? I guess the most evident would be my Bonnaroo crew. We've seen MMJ a number of times. Roo '08 arguably the best live show I have ever seen!



Sick cover.

12. Which song did you first hear from 16?
Arcade Fire - I am not sure. Definitely something off of Funeral. Possibly Rebellion (Lies)

13. What song made you fall in love with 5?
The Black Keys - The Lengths

Doesn't that song do it for everyone?

14. Which song do you not like by 18?
Ray LaMontagne - You Are The Best Thing

Man I hate that song. He has some gems to hate, but some gems to love too.

15. Why do you like 14's songs?
Electric President - First off Ben Cooper is the man. My ears crave his music. Every LP he releases, whether it be Radical Face or Patients is constructed flawlessly. The entirety of each work is a body of art that needs to be explored.

16. Where did you first hear 6?
Fleet Foxes - I jumped on them pretty early. I heard Textbook Love and In The Hot, Hot Rays prior to their 2008 EP and LP. Not sure where those tracks are from?

17. How long was 19 a singer before you liked them?
Bon Iver - I first heard Justin sing in 07, but I am sure he sang for pretty much all of his 28 years of existence.

18. Does 13 have a song that gives you a bad memory?
Peter and the Wolf - Ummm, no. I guess the only bad memory is why is he on my first page of artist. I liked the dude, but it surprises me every time I see him listed.

19. When did you get into 17?
Death Cab for Cutie - It took me a while. I hadn't really thoroughly examined their music up until a few years ago thanks to a friend. I am still listening.

20. How long have you been into 9?
Chad VanGaalen - I remember discovering Graveyard and Red Hot Drops and throwing those songs on my playlists. I believe that was sometime in 2006.

21. If 11 had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
The Felice Brothers - Well I saw them as close to 3 blocks from my apt in BK and as almost 900 miles away in the Fields of Tennessee. Obviously they weren't the deciding factor for attending Roo '08, so nope, I would not travel 300 miles to just see the Felice Brothers. If it was to get drunk with them, than that is a different story.

Prior to Simon leaving......



22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
Port O'Brien -

The Wind and the Swell
All We Could Do Was Sing
Winter

23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?
Ben Kweller - Red Eye definitely has potential.

24. Does 27 have a song that makes you happy?
Broken Social Scene - Love and Mathematics. My two favorite things.

25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
Greg Laswell - I'd Be Lying

The reason is because the first two seconds of the song makes me think it's Talib Kweli's The Blast.... Right?

26. What's the last song you've listened to from 28?
Cloud Cult - Journey of the Featherless

5/14/2009

27. Is there a song by 32 that you've listened to more than 30 times?
Dr. Dog - After seeing who was in spot #32, I automatically decided nope, no way there is 30+ plays on a song. I was wrong.

The Breeze +45!

28. What is a song from 50 that you've only listened to once?
Radical Face - No way.

29. Is there a song you are sick of hearing by 24?
Cold War Kids - Two no ways in a row. I only put music in my ears on want too listen to.

30. What song got you into 40?
Beck - Danger Mouse

31. What is your favorite single by 25?
The Raconteurs - Carolina Drama. Seeing Jack rip this shit live solidified it for me. Actually need to hear this joint ASAP.

32. If 49 hated you, what would you do?
Vetiver - Well we rubbed shoulders at Bell House and there was no hate. So that squashes that rumor.

33. What would you say if 43 or one of the members from 43 asked you out?
Chris Wall - I hate that he has this spot. He shouldn't be in my top 100. I just had a hard time digesting his 2008 LP and it got a lot of plays that I didn't really hear.

I would probably respectfully decline. Unless it was Ben and then I would try to move in on Zoey!!



34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Leonard Cohen - He is a pimp. He probably has like 7. I promote pimping at 74.

35. Who has the best voice in 46?
Matt Costa - Arguably?

36. Do you think 26 is/are good looking?
Tea Leaf Green - only when sporting the mu mu's.

37. How many times have you listened to your favorite song by 36?
Throw Me the Statue - Moonbeams

38. How many CDs do you own of 30?
David Karsten Daniels - Just one [album artist=David Karsten Daniels[/]Fear of Flying[/album]. Jesus And The Devil is my favorite jam of his however so if any of you have [album artist=David Karsten Daniels[/]Sharp Teeth[/album] send it my way! Please.

39. Is there a song from 38 that makes you mad?
Cat Power - I Don't Blame You

I dig the jam, but it irks me.



and she is so lovely.

40. Which member from 39 do you want to see go solo? If 31 is only one artist, what would you do if they joined a group?
Benoît Pioulard - He is ranked way too high in my ears!

41. What does your favorite song from 48 remind you of?
Deer Tick - These Old Shoes nothing.?..

42. Did you hate __ at first?
I am missing someone in my top 50 and they go here?

43. Does your best friend also listen to 33?
The Books - Nope. Figuring out the first part of the questions is the tricky part. All those considered, one of them has had some listens I am sure.

44. Do you think your parents would like 37?
Conor Oberst - Hmmmm, Dana Dukes... He may like some of it. I haven't given him any Conor however, he is more of an Avetts / Neil Young kind of dude.

45. Does 47 have a song that makes you want to dance?
The Dodos - Nope. Maybe sway.

46. Have you ever seen 34 in person?
M. Ward - No I have not. However once Monsters of Folk comes my way I will be there.



47. Do you like 44's name?
Samamidon - It actually confuses me. Is it Sam Amidon or Samamidon? After the confusion clears, I am fine with it either way.

48. Is there someone in 45 that you want to go out with?
JBM - Nope, but I will reiterate that I missed him perform last night, I literally walked in as he was exiting the stage. Some say it was the draft some say it was the brown?

49. Do you know anyone that hates 39?
Jessica Lea Mayfield - If so, I will punch you in your dome.



That is a dope pic of her and her bro killing it!

50. Have you ever danced to a song from 35?
Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer. You dance to Dr. Dre right?

Guarde este número: 42. Essa é a quantidade de artistas, em uma lista que vai de Cat Power a David Lynch, escolhidos para dirigir 42 filmetes, cada um com 42 segundos, no filme "OneDreamRush".

A coletânea de microfilmes será patrocinada por uma marca de vodca neozelandesa, a 42 Below - adquirida pela grife de bebidas Bacardi. Segundo o site oficial do projeto, cada diretor deverá rodar "um sonho que teve e que continua a assombrá-lo, deleitá-lo e inspirá-lo".

Fazem parte do projeto nomes tão distintos quanto Harmony Korine, que escreveu em "1995 Kids", até Carlos Reygadas, do plácido "Luz Silenciosa", prêmio do júri no Festival de Cannes de 2007. David Lynch ("Cidade dos Sonhos"), Gaspar Noé ("Irreversível"), Larry Clark ("Kids, Ken Park"), Mike Figgis ("Despedida em Las Vegas"), Abel Ferrara ("Invasores de Corpos") e Sergei Bodrov ("Mongol"). A série contará ainda com Kenneth Anger, o pioneiro do cinema experimental dos Estados Unidos, de 82 anos.

No total, o conjunto de filmetes vai dar origem a um filme de 30 minutos. Alguns trabalhos já estão disponíveis na rede - entre eles, a obra de Asia Argento, filha de Dario Argento, sobre uma comunidade transexual na Itália.

James Franco, atualmente inscrito no curso de cinema da Universidade de Nova York, também terá seu quadro, assim como Rinko Kikuchi (indicada como atriz coadjuvante ao Oscar e ao Globo de Ouro, em 2007, por Babel), o autor de quadrinhos Grant Morrison e a estilista chinesa Dee Poon.

Sean Lennon, filho de John Lennon, e Cat Power - com show no Brasil marcado para julho e que, recentemente, lutou contra o lançamento de uma biografia em sua homenagem - são os músicos que toparam testar seus dotes cinematográficos na produção.

A forma de distribuição do filme ainda não foi divulgada.

Confira o trailer de OneDreamRush:



Cat Power

Cat Power's You Are Free is my album of the mounth. Somehow it is 'similar' for me to Theology by Sinéad O'Connor.
Also Chan's voice reminds me of Dolores O'Riordan, Feist and Tanita Tikaram.

"Chan Marshall não quer que você leia este livro." Marshall, para quem não sabe, também atende por Cat Power. E a censura da cantora foi delatada na primeira linha de "A Good Woman", biografia escrita pela jornalista Elizabeth Goodman - e que Cat Power preferiria manter a salvo dos olhos do público, segundo a autora.

Em entrevista ao site de cultura Flavorwire, Goodman - que batizou o livro a partir da música homônima da artista, que se apresenta no Brasil mês que vem - defende a tese de que Cat Power sempre foi bastante seletiva para falar de seu passado. Pudera: a cantora e compositora é conhecida por sua personalidade retraída e por não ser exatamente a estrela mais bem comportada no palco - tanta instabilidade levou a revista New Yorker a atestar a dificuldade de "descrever um 'evento' da Cat Power como concerto".

Assim que soube do projeto de Goodman, a cantora de 37 anos ligou para todo mundo com uma súplica: não mencionar nada sobre seu passado. À época do lançamento de seu álbum mais recente de inéditas, o já antigo "The Greatest" (em 2008, dois anos depois, saiu o disco de covers "Jukebox"), ela relacionou o comportamento errático a problemas com álcool.

Ex-editora da recém-extinta revista Blender (que agora tem apenas versão online), Goodman explicou que sua intenção foi comemorar a evolução da biografada, começando pela infância pouco serena em Atlanta (EUA). Para isso, fez "uma boa pesquisa" até chegar a familiares e amigos, encontrados em sua maioria pela internet. Mas encontrou forte resistência do alvo de suas investigações. A respeito disso, viu um saldo irônico, porém positivo: "Me forçou a ser uma jornalista melhor".

Goodman teve de ir à caça de fontes secundárias justamente porque Marshall não se mostrava aberta a papo. "Ela não estava se fazendo disponível como fonte sobre grandes eventos que deveriam ter sido reconstituídos com sua narrativa." O jeito, portanto, foi cavar até encontrar quem estivesse disposto a falar sobre a investigada. Outra ironia, aponta a autora, foi que a falta de cooperação auxiliou para que o maior medo de Cat Power se concretizasse: um livro contado à sua revelia, sem que ela participasse na remontagem de capítulos definitivos de sua vida.

Desde o lançamento da biografia, em abril, não ouviu uma palavra da cantora. Se Marshall leu ou não o livro? Goodman não sou responder. Mas disse que não ficaria surpreendida se a resposta fosse positiva. "E isso é o mais interessante a respeito dela, e um tema capital [em "A Good Woman"]. Chan é, ao mesmo tempo, uma exibicionista e tem uma personalidade patologicamente tímida. Sua porção exibicionista provavelmente quer ler. E a retraída garota do Sul que existe dentro dela - que só quer ser uma mamãe - provavelmente ficaria aterrorizada [com a obra]."



Cat Power

Maybe Cat Power is right when she says "Don't be in love with the autograph" in Free. But this is part of what happened in the last years:

PJ Harvey



Patrick Wolf



Bat for Lashes



Tori Amos
