EIMIC record almost finished ~~ EX~PO live in Toronto

Posted by dean marino on July 7, 2009 at 3:16pm

Jay (my co-producer) and I are more than half-done the final mixes for EIMIC's second LP. I've already mixed four songs (leaving only one for me) and Jay may only have 1 or 2 songs left to mix. We split the mixing work this time, 50/50. Last record was entirely mixed by me and it proved too much. This time around I had too many commitments with my 3 bands and couldn't be there to oversee every aspect of the production. So this time, I mixed ony 5 songs: Here are their working titles:Moving FragmentsPa Ra Pa PamAir StripGentle SilenceWade InJay has already mixed 4 songs, so the album is nearly 80-90% finished. The EIMIC boys are picky though, and I wouldn't doubt that one or two songs get treated to an entirely new mix before the process is over. Our mastering date is booked (Friday July 10th) with Noah Mintz at Lacquer Channel (Broken Social, every Canadian record or note, etc.).Also,My musical project, EX~PO will play one live show in Toronto (August 6th @ Holy Joes) before retreating back into the studio to make the second LP, which I hope to release sometime in early 2010.Back to work . . .D.

what you would say.

Probably nothing.

Things will not change between us

But still!

I will wonder,

Things Change

Posted by PrttyBrd on July 6, 2009 at 3:09pm

Counting on the everydayThe eye is caught by a lost soulFamiliarity is strong, but the eyes go emptyCalling for attention goes unnoticedReaching out, your hand passes right throughAs if an apparition, seemingly solid yet made of mistThere is nothing to grasp ontoSo the once familiar passes by unable to find its wayNot really searching for it, the soul continues to wanderWatching as its surroundings seem to swallow it all at onceWanting to follow and fix what you are not sure is even brokenStopped by nothing in particular, that first step is never takenWondering if your paths will cross again

Residue of a past life

Nails clawing through shirttailsTrying to hold onDesperate not to let things changeFaceless people turn their backsGlasses shatter half fullOnly the empties remain

Glastonbury pictures upload will have to wait, my poor old computer is suffering terribly. Ice packs, fan, tried everything. I'm afraid it's going to die on me altogether if I push it too hard.

I did manage to put up a few pics on my page, the one's of British Sea Power are with courtesy of my friend Laura (thank you for your good camera! :wub: ).

Memories

Posted by PrttyBrd on July 3, 2009 at 4:32pm

Treasured moments lost in timeRelived in dreams or nightmaresTo wake with a longing long since passedTo sleep and be swept away to what was once forgottenPrevious happiness is remembered as holyNo anger, no sadness, no discontentIt is, after all, a dream of what wasImperfection is reality as it was back thenDreams sift out the ugly and unpleasantAll that is left is the sparkle of diamond dustTwinkling stars of a happy heartIt is not wise to judge today by yesterdayOr tomorrow by todayThe good is to be wrapped up and kept warmThe tarnished should be left to melt into nothingEach smile stored in a safe place to be called upon as neededToday's treasured moments are tomorrow's dreams

Ozomatli - Bristol UK

Posted by Helen D on July 2, 2009 at 6:59pm

Ozomatli who hail from Los Angeles played a hot, hot set to a hot crowd in The Fiddlers in Bristol.The unlikely sounding mix of Urban Latin American crossed with Hip Hop was electrifying and despite the heat we all danced and sang the night away - well till about eleven O'clock. I've seen Ozomatli play in larger venues, but there is something extra when the venue is more intimate.Great music - Well worth checking out because if you haven't heard them before you can't imagine what they sound like. They are a band that want to bring music to the people and they regularly walk down into the audience to play at the end of the night. Fantastic. Oooh my aching feet...

Wait and See

Things always happen for a reason. You fall off a train because it’s going to crash into a brick wall in several hours. Instead of breaking your whole body and dieing in a pool of blood you break your arms and cry out in pain.Small price to pay for the painful end.But it’s never easy to willingly jump out of a perfectly well maintained machine. I mean are you crazy?Of course you aren’t? But you wanna live don’t you? What’s few broken bones to a long drawn out death?I am not making any sense am I?No, of course not. But the important thing is that I know what I am talking about. It’s me, and the voices in my head. We all make sense to one another.I am on that train right now. I can jump off now, or I can dig out the pliers, the wrench, and the duct tape that I keep in my purse and fix this before my train comes crashing against the wall. Even then there is no guarantee that it wont crash again. Or I can hold on tight and ride it for as long as I can, and then say “Not afraid of the possibility of pain.” And if for some reason I come out alive from the crash I can be alive to tell my grandkids what a daring stuntwoman I truly am.In all reality, this isn’t my train to stop. I mean it is. But my seat is incredibly comfortable, the view is amazing, the likelihood of an accident is evidently possible. But I want the scars. I want the scars so that I can say I survived it. Because when I point out my experience, I can say that I wanted to be a coward, and I wanted to run, but I chose to be a hero and I stayed.In all reality, this must be one of the most confusing entries I have ever written. But only one person knows what it truly means. And I am just going to keep it at that.I am not running the show. I am taking the back seat and marveling at the scenery. Because in the end, regardless of the outcome, I have a positive “experience”. One way or another. ( I would much rather it be one way than the other), but its not my decision to make.

v1bk2pg741:and alone should evening pink in harmony obliged, but if one day she saw in me a form contrived, a forced pleasure, her eyes darkening, her few words traversed memories i should have the weakness to resist. The memory of the everyday life lives more among the imagination, a perception that wore a pretentious glow of silver tear[s]. She longed to wander in romantic twilight tricked by the keenest illusion, a conventional attitude, and a rank opinion of sex.

Jonny's June 24th Office Chart

Posted by redlotus51 on June 28, 2009 at 11:00pm

What did you all think of Jonny's office chart. Pretty cool stuff. Liked Bartok since I was a wee one. Glad to see Jonny recognize him and Penderecki of course.Not much heard in 'popular' music, but I did hear Frank Zappa on Mothers day in '73 or 4. In the middle of "Yellow Snow" , the band actually started playing Bartok's 3rd (?) Piano Concerto. Blew my socks off. Started yelling "hey, that's Bartok, that's Bartok !" All of my fellow stoned "freaks" just looked at me like I was crazy : ) Almost could hear him them thinking , 'Man you're stupid ... that's Zappa, who the hell is Bartkok ?'Actually saw him [Zappa, not Bartok... I'm not that old : ) ] going on stage and was close enough for him to hear me yell "Happy, Mothers Day, Frank". He gave me one of his notorious looks of extreme contempt. Something I'll always enjoy remembering that day and that look.Folks: if you do not wish to receive political commentary or commentary about patient rights please notify by message and I'll do my best to not bother you.Bronson

Neil Young - Hard Rock Calling - Hyde Park.Saturday 27th June

Posted by Helen D on June 28, 2009 at 7:00pm

This was one of the truly memorable days in my own personal music experience. The sun shone fiercely for most of the afternoon and then dark clouds gathered to give a spectacular backdrop for the lightening and thunderstorms which gave us a heavy shower at one point. None of this dampened our spirits.I want first to mention some of the other bands we saw as I would have bought tickets on the strength of any one of these.It was a fantastic lineup. We were at the main stage from the start with the warm up acts doing their job, but the main attractions started with The Pretenders. Chrissie Hynde was in fine voice.I loved Seasick Steve's music the first time I heard it - true bluegrass perfection. Actually seeing him perform was a privilege. It can only be tough life's experience that produces music that authentic. How he gets the sound he does with guitars that look as if their on the way out I don't know.Ben Harper & Relentless7 are new to me. I listened to a few tracks before we went to see what he sounded like; I have to admit that I was hoping for him to be a bit rubbish so we could take a break and stretch our legs, but we knew we would be staying put. The man has a great voice.FLEET FOXES - What can I say? The band sing such difficult close harmonies live with such perfection that it takes your breath away. You have to go back to the Beach Boys for anything similar, but Fleet Foxes lyrics are meatier, darker and more thought provoking. I loved White Winter Hymnal - Its a wonderfully sweet melody which disguises a pretty dark story. They sang most of their album and also Mykonos from their Sun Giant E.P. which went down well with the crowd. There were also a couple of new songs which I didn't catch the name of; the next album is sounding promising if they are a little sample of it.All this great music was the lead up to the legendary NEIL YOUNG. The man is a music genius. He played a brilliant set1. Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)2. Mansion On The Hill3. Are You Ready For The Country?4. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere5. Spirit Road6. Words7. Cinnamon Girl8. F*!#in' Up9. Mother Earth10. The Needle And The Damage Done11. Comes A Time12. Unknown Legend13. Heart Of Gold14. Old Man15. Down By The River16. Get Behind The Wheel17. Rockin' In The Free World---18. A Day In The LifePlenty of old classics. I loved that when Neil asked if there were "any alcoholics out there" there was a great roar of 'yes' and he followed it with Spirit Road. The set was rounded off with Rockin' In The Free World which like all his songs he didn't seem to want to finish playing; neither did the crowd and then....the encore - A Day in the life - an Beatles classic often played in the set. It looked good on the telly coverage of Glastonbury and I was hoping he would play it for us too.In Your Face Glastonbury. He did with a surprise guest. Paul McCartney appeared to accompany the band to the amazement of the crowd. He sang along and at the end joined in Neil Young's ritual tinkling of the xylophone.Macca was doing bows to Neil Young in an 'I am not worthy' style and the two obviously enjoyed the collaboration as did the audience.After all the great music we had seen earlier Neil Young and his band rounded off the evening in style. It will take a while to think like a normal human being again after all that.

It must be done

Posted by PrttyBrd on June 27, 2009 at 8:20am

An inherent fear of being selfish has shaped a severely skewed existence. How far is too far to bend in the wrong direction, and who's to say which is the wrong way? I have found these times to negate the usual course of things in my life. A, more than determined, third party has twisted the norm and rendered me unimportant, for now. I am grateful for this change. Whatever torturous course of action is taken, it is I that will suffer gladly for every extra moment.Yet, in suffering for this cause, I must ignore the life I built and those who love me may not understand. I have sent away the beautiful distractions to concentrate on the task at hand. I am sad and broken, but this is all I can do. There is no decision to make, for there is no real choice. Whatever reaction, whatever possibility, I will trudge through it all for the possibility of time. How am I supposed to just give up and let things be. Am I to let one suffer to humor the other? It is an impossibility. An extra month, or week, or day or minute can mean the difference between a fighting chance and a broken beginning. The latter is not an option, not if I can help it. So injections of man-made concoctions and happy accidental side-effects of breathing shots, pills that barely work as directed, and regular trips to confounded professionals are my lot in life for as long as it takes to make this a success story.However, history and impatience are working against me. Regaled with daily horror stories, I cannot find peace. I have been lucky in the past, but doesn't luck always run out at some point? That is my fear, that I cannot change the inevitable. With closed eyes I see the future. Depending on my mood, the outcome changes. I have never needed perfection. I will take what I get and run with it and be happy for what I get. Whatever the outcome, we will all be fine, even stronger...maybe. It is not in me to give up when the fight is not my own. I'm not fighting for happiness or positive outcomes, for I have no control over the end result. I fight for time and I will fight to the death for every second I can offer, for every minute or day or week. I fight because I must, because only I can. I fight because that is all I can do.
