Amidst all this tennis we've still been listening to our fair share of music. One of the albums that barely missed our top ten faves of last year was Built to Spill's You in Reverse, an album that's been getting some pretty heavy play lately, at least the stellar epic "Goin' Agaisnt Your Mind" with it's heavy reverb and distortion droning on into the seven minute mark. Similarly, we've revisted the Arab Strap's live album Mad for Sadness which contains a delightful intermezzo of feedback and distortion that demands to be played at maximum volume. We are somewhat disappointed at the band's announcement that they were breaking up last month, though not really surprised.
Also finding itself in heavy rotation has been Blonde Redhead's multi-lingual Melodie Citronique five song EP with their post-modern no wave take of various European chanteurs like Serge Gainsbourg's "Slogan". Our favourite has been the Italian "Chi E E Non E" and we were quite excited to come across their 2004 album, Misery is a Butterfly and are very excited about their forthcoming album "23" to be released in April.
