'cause i love 'em, that's why - installment 2
for the second installment of my ''cause i love 'em, that's why' series, i will write a bit about bjork's album debut. i bought this album when it was released in 1993 based on hearing the song 'human behaviour' and seeing the video on mtv at ron r's house. we both fell in love with her quirky lyrics and voice, and loved her accent. and it certainly helped that she was so easy on the eyes.
her music was a lot different than other things i was listening to at the time. less loud rock sounds, more dancy beats, with a few tear-jerking ballads in there as well. i spent a lot of my time sitting alone in my room listening to this album that year. i also got my first car that year, so i dubbed the cd to tape and cruised around town with the windows down, speakers blaring. i included a few songs from the album on mixed tapes as well, whether for myself or for some lady friend (at age 15, i made lots of mixed tapes). this particular album opened my eyes to a different kind of music, added more to my musical intellect, let me feel that there was amazing music out there that could be made without distorted guitars. which led, i am sure, to me seeking out bands like cibo matto or portishead or morcheeba years later.
songs like 'violently happy', 'crying', 'venus as a boy', 'come to me', hell, everyone of them mean something to me for that time in my life. and everytime i hear these songs, it takes me back to those days. no matter how down i felt back then as a teenager living in goose creek, sc, this music always made me happy. not to say that this album has only nostalgic value to me. if i were to hear it for the first time today, i know it would sound equally as amazing to me as it sounded 16 years ago.
when i talk about my respect for bjork as an artist and how much i love her music, most people refer to videos they have seen where she is talking about how her tv broadcasts images through to her mind or that music awards show where she was wearing the swan thing around her neck, and just talk about how they can't stand her because of how weird she is. i find it hard to believe that many of these people have ever sat down and actually listened to her music. to me, all of the 'crazy' things she does makes her that much more endearing to me. she is a unique artist, and is not afraid to stand out as an individual.
now, i am not writing this to try to convince anyone to like her music. if you've made up your mind, ok, good. i am writing this to let anyone who reads this know that i (and my wife, coincidentally) love her music, and this album got me started on a whole new world of music, including her future albums. so there you have it. more installments to come in the near future, so if you give a crap, and read this blog occasionally, keep coming back, because this will hopefully bring me back here to write a little more often than usual.

'cause i love 'em, that's why - installment 1
so, for the last few days, while driving in my car, i have been listening to an old classic in the musical library of layne, and was inspired to begin a new series of installments entitled ''cause i love 'em, that's why', in which i will discuss albums that helped shape me into the dude i am today. the album that prompted all of this is none other than shonen knife's let's knife.
i first got wind of this band back in 1992 because i was a huge fan of nirvana, and kurdt cobain talked about them in interviews often and had them open up for nirvana on one of their tours. i thought, in my 15-year-old mind, 'if they're good enough for kurdt, they're good enough for me!', so i went out and purchased let's knife, which was their most recent album released, and the only one i could find locally.
the front and back covers made me very curious. three petite japanese women on the front (at the time, and still, i was very much into female-led rock groups), wearing bright crazy multi-colored outfits surrounded by psychedelic cartoon-y flowers. the track listing on the back made me even more curious, with titles such as 'flying jelly attack', 'twist barbie', 'get the wow', and 'tortoise brand pot scrubbing cleaner's theme (sea turtle)', i thought, this has to be good! i got home from the record store (i am almost positive i picked it up from manifest discs and tapes, now monster music and movies), and went straight to my room to crack open the cd. when i put it in my boombox, my mind was blown.
seventeen tracks of perfectly crafted pop music, innocent child-like lyrics, rockin' guitars, good guitar solos, tight drumming, vocal harmonies that made me weep (i have a thing for good vocal harmonies), and the list goes on. at age 15, i had never heard anything else like it, and i devoured it, listening constantly and trying to learn all of the songs on guitar. come to find out, they had quite a back catalogue of albums, so i had some work to do tracking them down through special orders, mail orders, etc (no home internet access back then, kiddies, at least not in the harvey household - i had to order though the mail (!)).
i pushed the album on all of my unsuspecting friends, and a few of them were equally impressed, most notably ron r., oscar r., and charles r. (none of them related, and not the charles r. that i currently associate with). three years later, i discovered they were playing in atlanta, where, coincidentally, ron r. was going to school, so charles r. and i made the road trip and saw them at the masquerade. we were like a gaggle of prepubescent girls staring at a joey mcintyre poster on their bedroom walls, except this was way cooler. we were right up front within reach of naoko yamano, the lead singer/guitarist. they were amazing and larger than life up on that stage. we thought, how can these three little ladies make such an incredible mind-blowing sound? after their set, they came out and signed autographs and stuff. they were very quiet when it was our turn to chat - they were probably a bit freaked out by the 6'3" ugly pimply white dude towering over them. we stood there like idiots, not thinking of anything cool to say. they signed a setlist and a ticket stub for me and i was in heaven.
anywho, on that note, i will leave you with some thought-provoking lyrics from one of my favorite tracks on the album 'i am a cat':
i discover whiskers of a cat
in a timeless zone
and i put them on my face.
in a moment i become a sweet little cat
and i dance on a flying saucer.
so, so cool.
more of this type of thing to come, so stay tuned, if you wanna.

where did all the good shows go???
there is a serious lack of good shows recently. haven't been to one in almost two months, i think. if anyone hears of anything i might like, please drop me a line.
in other news, i went to a christmas parade downtown with my daughter today, and we had a blast. we watched all of the cars drive by and stuff, then we had a picnic in marion square that consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and fruit snacks (yum!). mina then played on some giant inflatable things (slide, obstacle course, jump castle) for about 45 minutes. we topped it off with some cake-cake and hot chocolate at the starbucks across the street and a quick run through of urban outfitters. 'twas an excellent time. i left the camera in the car, but took this shot right when we got back before leaving downtown.

at the drive-in on letterman, a long time ago
this is one of my favorite live performances by at the drive-in (future members of the mars volta and sparta). it is a performance of their song 'one-armed scissor' from their album relationship of command, live on letterman, some time ago. i wish i could have seen this band live before they split up. just ran across this while surfing the ol' web.

new john frusciante solo album announced!!!
here is an email i received from redhotchilipeppers.com recently:
***********************************
Friends and Fans, The Empyrean is my new record and will be released worldwide via Record Collection on January 20th 2009. It was recorded on and off between December 2006 and March 2008. It is a concept record that tells a single story both musically and lyrically. The story takes place within one person, and there are two characters. It contains a version of Tim Buckley's, 'Song To The Siren' and the rest of the songs are written by me. My friend Josh plays on it, as does Flea. It also features Sonus Quartet, Johnny Marr and The New Dimension Singers. I'm really happy with it and I've listened to it a lot for the psychedelic experience it provides. It should be played as loud as possible and it is suited to dark living rooms late at night.
- John Frusciante, November 3rd, 2008
The Empyrean Track listing:- Before The Beginning
- Song To The Siren
- Unreachable
- God
- Dark/Light
- Heaven
- Enough Of Me
- Central
- One More Of Me
- After The Ending
holy crap. i cannot wait. this email makes me so happy.

john frusciante - dying song
here is a nicely done video put together by some youtube-er with john frusciante's 'dying song', which appears on the soundtrack to the movie the brown bunny, playing over the top of scenes from that movie. i love the movie, my friend charles was not a fan. john frusciante contributes five tunes to the soundtrack, although none actually appear in the film (bummer). john frusciante rules, and this is my favorite song by him.

what in god's name... (halloween fun)
so, i was sorting through mina's halloween haul, as all responsible parents should do before letting the kids loose on all that stranger candy, when i found (amongst the few opened wrappers, chewed up sucker sticks (not by mina - eww!), and just plain weird candy) a piece of gummy candy in a wrapper labelled 'gummy body parts candy'. that's all good. in the spirit of halloween, body parts candy is quite normal. i'm all for it. we found a set of teeth still attached to the gums (awesome) and a gummy nose (sweet) and something else that kinda looks like an ear. well, not really. what is that? wait a minute!!!!!

is it just me, or does that sorta resemble a...nevermind, use yer imagination. anna says it is an ear, but i have never seen an ear that looks like that. comment please, and let me know your thoughts.

jucifer, the pour house, 10/10/08
this past saturday night, i went with my friend shane to see jucifer, a band that we both love and have seen numerous times now. they played at a small bar on james island called the pour house. my friend chris thomas plays drums in the band that opened for them, banana hammock (the best band name i have heard in a while). they are kind of a thrashy, screamy, metal group with lots of mid-song tempo changes. i liked them. chris has made some amazing music over the years, and this is a continuation.
jucifer came on stage at around midnight, and once again blew me away. the band consists of two members, g. amber valentine (maniacal guitar/vocals) and g. edgar livengood (maniacal drums/vocals). the guitar rig consists of no less than thirteen 4x12" speaker cabinets, which is about twelve more than most guitarists have at a small club show like that. upon the first strum of the guitar, my innards instantly turned to liquid (luckily this has happened before, so i thought to bring an extra pair of undershorts).
photo courtesy of myself
they continued on and played a loud, screaming, psycho-drumming set that truly ruled. there was a lame turnout, but that did not effect their spirits in the slightest. and the few people that were there were going nuts.
photo courtesy of myself
after the show, amber v. promptly manned the merchandise booth, chatting with folks and signing autographs, showing no signs of just having blown minds. i bought their new live dvd, jucifer - veterans of volume: live with eight cameras and can't wait to watch it. if you like the band, order it from the link in the previous sentence. it is only $10 plus postage, and it is a limited pressing. the dvd contains a live show, music videos, and tons of other stuff. this is a great band and they need all the support they can get. i also purchased their new album l'autrichienne on pretty pink vinyl. it is a beauty. hope to see you all at the next show!

the breeders cover guided by voices 'shocker in gloomtown'

the raconteurs, tabernacle, 10/01/08
after the mars volta show from my previous post, anna and i made our way back to atlanta the following week to see the raconteurs. because of some unforeseen happenings, we ended up bringing our sweet monster daughter, mina, with us, and anna offered to stay with her so i could attend the show (now that is love). we ended up going to the atlanta zoo the next day, so it turned into a fun-filled family mini-vacation. but i digress...
this show was also at the tabernacle, a venue that i like more and more each time i attend a show there. cameras were allowed, so i got some better shots than some of my previous efforts. the opening band was one that anna discovered a while back and liked called the kills, a two-piece band (two guitarists/vocalists - one male/one female) and a drum machine. they played an energetic set and were very entertaining. i wish anna could have seen it...
photo courtesy of myself
the raconteurs blew my mind. as you probably know, the band consists of jack white of the white stripes, brendan benson, and jack lawrence and patrick keeler, both of the greenhornes. they played a great selection that covered both of their albums, broken boy soldiers and consolers of the lonely.
photo courtesy of myself
brendan benson sang the majority of the songs, because jack white was losing his voice. still, the energy created from the entire band was tremendous and could be felt pulsing through the room. one of the highlights of the show for me was when they played 'blue veins', the closer of their first album. i was not smart enough to at first remember my camera can shoot video, but i was smart enough to remember this right after the second verse, and i was able to capture the final 6 minutes of the song. check it out:
video courtesy of myself
my favorite part of the show was when they played 'carolina drama', which happens to be the closer to their second album, and it was the closer of the show. jack white has an amazing ability to tell a gripping story, and this song is an example of that. here is a picture from when they were performing that song:
photo courtesy of myself
i hope jack white's voice is getting better, and i hope to be able to see them again soon. this was such a different experience from when i saw the white stripes last year. both shows were awesome, but the music is so different between the two bands. this time around, it felt more like just a group of guys in a band that really love playing together instead of jack white as the ringleader. he looks good in both positions, but he seems happier here.

the mars volta, the tabernacle, 09/24/08
my wife, anna, and i recently saw the mars volta in concert in atlanta at the tabernacle, which is a concert venue that was converted from an old church. this is my fourth time seeing the mars volta in concert, and anna's first time. the show was titled 'an evening with the mars volta', which basically means no opening band (fine by me!!!). we ended up in a great spot, although right next to the pa speaker (forgot ear plugs...), but that's ok, because it was worth the 3 days of ringing.
photo courtesy of my crappy camera phone
the show was amazing, with lots of energy from the band. they played just at 2 hours long, and performed songs that spanned their entire catalog, with the exception of deloused in the comatorium - nothing from that one... i was expecting the setlist to mimic the one from when i saw them a few months back, but they changed it up, even playing songs that i have never heard live before. here is the setlist:
goliath
viscera eyes
new song (!)
wax simulacra
ouroboros
eunuch provocateur
ilyena
cygnus..., vismund cygnus
the widow
aberinkula
once again, they have blown my mind. anna enjoyed the show, too, though i don't think she was boogying as much as me. also, this is officially baby #2's first concert. that is one for the baby book for sure. here is another picture from the show:
photo courtesy of my crappy camera phone
i will be seeing them the next time they come even close. if you are interested in coming along, let me know.
and on a totally unrelated note, as anna and i were leaving the show, walking down the sidewalk right outside the venue, we passed a dude that, i swear, looked identical to the late, great elliott smith. we both stopped and looked at each other, then turned around and tried to track him down, but he disappeared just like that into the crowd. makes me think, what if... nah. couldn't be.....right?

nine inch nails, atlanta, 08/13/2008
saw nine inch nails recently in atlanta with my friend william, and it ruled. i have seen them before, but this time the stage performance was so amazing. they played tons of great songs, and the current lineup of musicians is tops (although i just heard that josh freese is leaving the band after the current tour, which is a bummer...). they played at the gwinnett arena, and we were in the general admission section. we did not get too close because we wanted to get a good view of the stage show. this photo shows the multi-layered screens that came down to make a kind of 3-d landscape (really sweet in person - the picture does no justice):
photo courtesy of my crappy camera phone
i won't go into too much detail except to say that it must cost a lot of money to pull off some of those effects, and now that trent reznor doesn't have a record label to help foot the bill, he is putting a lot of his own money in to make this a great performance for his fans. a true master, in my book. here is a picture of the band logo that appeared on the screen when they left the stage the first time:
photo courtesy of my crappy camera phone
my favorite part of the evening had to be when they played 'only' from the album with teeth. that song makes me want to get down (though i believe this next picture was taken while they were playing 'echoplex' from their album the slip, which was pretty killer as well).
photo courtesy of my crappy camera phone
already have tickets lined up to see them again on november 1st in greenville, this time with my friends chris and jennifer, and my sweet wife anna!

memory tag
i have many things to write about, but can't seem to find the time. so, for the sake of update this thing so people will come back and check it every once in a while, here is an easy post for me (i was tagged by my cousin adam's wife ann):
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you.
