Everyone's favorite Berlin-based avant-garde, glitchy-tech experimental duo Modeselektor are in Boston tonight for a show presented by my homeboys Mmmmaven. If you don't go you won't be able to post a shitty phone shot from the back of the crowd so people knew you were there now will you?
Alt-country mindie favorites Lucero are at the Paradise tonight. That's nice. This type of neo-authentic Americana bar rock is literally my least favorite type of music. Pop-country ballads? No problem. Russian polka folk? Death rattle of my friends and neighbors collapsing into the void en masse? Sure, why not. But this sounds like the musical equivalent of hiring a baby sitter and making a reservation at a casual theme restaurant on a Friday night to me. I have the gnarled soul of a malformed bridge troll though, so what do I know. Listen to tracks from their new "Women and Work" here. But don't actually.
Everything Penguin Prison remixes is good. That is all. Here's their remix of Miike Snow's "Paddling Out."
Fuck it, I'd rather hear some French electro pop jazz gypsy swing than that Lucero realness. Or so I thought until some of it showed up in my inbox. Here's a track from something called Caravan Palace. From their bio: "Bonding over their love of electronic music, Charles Delaporte, Arnaud Vial and Hugues Payen came together after working for a film production company to provide a soundtrack to silent pornographic films." Can't imagine how quick I'd [x] out of a porn that had this goofy business aurally obscuring my tit vision.
Fader has the premier of "Visual Jam Doughnut" from Australian outfit Bushwalking, which sounds like a good title for one of Carvan Palace's silent films. It's got a tripped out surf guitar vibe over some hypnotic bass pulses and squalls of noise that sound like seagulls fucking in a spooky Gregorian monastery.
You know what band wasn't that great it turned out? Fugazi. Still, here we are, like, what, 30 years later, covering "Waiting Room." Not me and you specifically -- although if you're into it I'm down to jam out and just "see what happens" -- but some band or other whose name is on the other tab and I don't feel like accidentally tricking myself into remembering by writing it down.

Stepdad isn't that great of a name for a band. Trenchant and cutting insight from a music journalist right there my friends.
Neneh Cherry is still making music. Good for her. I'm not going to listen to it, mind you, but someone should.
Critical Acclaim For Lost In The Trees’ “A Church That Fits Our Needs”:
"Stunningly gorgeous" – Los Angeles Times
"This 12-track song cycle is as moving and life affirming as it is moribund and gut wrenching... A Church That Fits Our Needs succeeds on nearly every level.” - All Music
"I thought this was that one band who did that 'We Sing In Time' song that I really liked last year and I got bummed when it wasn't because that was a good song, that one song right there that the other band did and not this one, just want to be clear about that." -- Luke O'Neil PTSOTL
Oh look, another Australian band. What's going on down there in Australia anyway? Someone want to write into PTSOTL and explain? Monsters crawling all over the place and tall movie stars punching each other in the dick all day on the beach? Sorry, hate to stereotype.
Oh weird, someone made a more annoying version of "Pumped Up Kicks."Feel like we need more acoustic covers of other people's songs on You Tube sometimes.
This entire post gets a D-. Someone include it in their next roundup of shitty and lazy music writing. Good day.
