We All Have Hooks For Hands - The Shape of Energy

Cage - Hell's Winter

I've been neglecting this for a while now. I've been playing a lot of MW2 and Fall Out (yes, I love video games) and haven't touched my laptop for nearly a week. I left the house to go see Raekwon the 11th, but that's about it. Having a stomach flu and an XBox in the same house is dangerous. But tonight I'm going up to Chapel Hill to see Cage. He's, hands down, my favorite rapper. Reminiscent of El-P, his lyrics focus on drug addiction, his violent childhood, and depression. OMFG IT FEELS LIKE HE'S TALKING ABOUT MY LIFEEEEE! I'm about to take a nap.

Per Wiki: "Palko was born in Würzburg, Germany to American parents. His father, Bill Murray, was stationed on a West German military base as a member of the military police.^[1] Palko lived there until the age of four when Murray was dishonorably discharged for selling and using heroin, and the family was sent back to the United States where they lived in Middletown, New York. Murray would often force Palko to pull homemade tourniquets around his arm as he injected heroin. At the age of eight, Palko's father was arrested during a standoff with state troopers after threatening his family with a shotgun.^[2][3] By the time Palko was kicked out of high school, his mother had remarried twice, and he was beaten by his stepfather. Palko began using LSD, mescaline, cannabis and alcohol, and was sent to live with his uncle on a German military base, where he was beaten and sent home after a year.
Palko was arrested several times for drug possession and fighting in the streets. When he faced jail time for violating probation, his mother convinced the judge that he was mentally unstable, and he was sent to the Stoney Lodge psychiatric hospital for a two week evaluation. He eventually ended up staying in the hospital for eighteen months, where he was a part of a small group used to test fluoxetine.^[3][4] After being misdiagnosed and placed on the drug, he became suicidal and made several attempts to kill himself, including hanging himself with his shoelaces and saving his lithium dose for a month before ingesting all of them at once.^[2][3] He was illegally restrained over twenty times for periods of up to thirteen hours at a time by straitjacket and ten point bed restraints.^[1][3"

Gotta respect this woman.

Oh No! Oh My!

I know they changed their name in favor to drop the punctuation (unlike Panic! At the Disco, who changed their name twice and ended up at the beginning again), but the album released with the exclamation marks along with the name being printed like that on the cover. ANYWAYZ, the whole album is filled with "folk" songs that you can...dance to! Many times I find myself trying to put together a top ten favorite songs list, and the only song I can count on putting at number one is I Love You All the Time. I dare you to listen to that song at full blast in a car and not sing along. Indie pop at it's finest.




Oh No! Oh My! - S/T

The Love Language

Still battling the flu of swine, so I'm going to keep this short. I met Stu and Jordan in my Current Events class in my freshmen year of high school while they were seniors. We were down and I've jammed with them on a few occasions, but I never had an idea that these guys would blow up and become the indie darlings they are today. P4K (all hail) gave their debut a 7.4 and heaps of praise have come from other various media outlets. I've seen these guys more than any other band. Whenever they play in town or in the Triangle (Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh), I'm sure to be at the show, singing along with every word. It's always a great show and never disappoints even a veteran LL fan such as myself.

The music is the brainchild of Stuart McLamb. He's backed by a group of friends whom include his enormously tall and multi-instrumentalist brother, Jordan, the beautiful ladies on keyboard(s), Missy and Kate, and the guitar/bass and drums of Junis, Josh, and Tom. The sound is uniquely their own, a blend of indie pop and balladry akin to Ray Orbinson. Can't wait to hear more from these guys. A fun little side-note: when asked about the infusion of lo-fi production into the indie sound, Stu responded with, "[sic] I never meant to make a lo-fi album. I thought I was the greatest producer in the world!"

I've been out of it for a while with the good ol' H1N1, but I took enough quaaludes that I barely feel anything and I put together a quick, ten song list of my favorite songs from this Noshavember (worst idea ever). The list isn't in any kind of order, but here we go...

David Bowie (Save Us All) - The Modern Electric
Adrian Blues - The Novel Ideas
Chillin (Feat. Lady Gaga) - Wale
Strange Love - Sonny & the Sunsets
Black In the Sun Room - Zoos of Berlin
The Best Treasure Stays Buried - The Android Angels
