Wed 11 Nov – The Atomic Bitchwax, Mom's Day

After somehow missing the Bitchwax in April this year, I got to see them at the Sonnenkeller on this occasion eventually.

Mom's Day - some loco band, playing (funny) german punk rock. Attendance: about eleven people watching o.O

Atomic Bitchwax - did an one hour set, including the same songs/set as already played this year, about 20-30 people watching :/ Still been cool to see these guys play live.

TAB's set:

Stork Theme
Shit Kicker
So Come On
The Destroyer
Kiss The Sun
Giant
Revival
Hope You Die
Gettin' Old
Super Computer
Wreck You
Pigs (Three Different Ones) [Pink Floyd cover]
Force Field

Before and after the show, I had the chance to talk with Bob Pantella(drums) and have a couple of beers with him. We've been talking about lots of shit, as far as I remember it included: TAB, Roadburn, Funkadelic, Beer, Karma To Burn, Nebula, Festivals, UK/Europe, Dave Wyndorf, some more shit + last but not least Monster Magnet.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before - I checked Monster Magnet's website/myspace and both seem to lack of updates and news - BUT according to Bob a new MM album is in the works! The band will be in the studio in January 2010 to record the newly written material. Apparently about 20 new songs have already been written, not all of them are going to be put up on the new CD, they will "get rid off the shitty ones" Bob said. The yet untitled record is due to release in March/April 2010, followed by a tour, possibly including some festival shows in Europe.

I definitely look forward to this shit!

As explained earlier, here's the second half of the first part of my rundown of 90s songs.

Previously: My top 100 tracks 1990-99 Pt.01a: 200 to 181

180
dEUS
Sister Dew
The Ideal Crash
1999

An impossibly sad song, a slow, minimalist track that lyrically deals with a man confessing to the titular character his crime. dEUS have never come close to the naked emotions of this track since, or to that matter before it, either, and it's such an affecting track that I can only listen to this once in a while.

179
The Dandy Warhols
Every Day Should Be A Holiday
...The Dandy Warhols Come Down
1997

Way back before they were soundtracking Vodafone adverts, this band of American slackers were writing wonderful summer pop songs like this, psychedelic electro-pop that hooked me from the first moment I heard it (and I ended up buying the album on import months before it was eventually released over here).

178
They Might Be Giants
Birdhouse in Your Soul
Flood
1990

One of the greatest and most enduring indie pop songs, perhaps, the reason it is a bit further down this list is that it does every now and again grate if overplayed. But still, it's probably the only song ever sung from the point of a nightlight, has a quirky video and the kind of chorus that bolts itself behind a sturdy door in your head...

177
The Future Sound of London
My Kingdom
Dead Cities
1996

The lead single from FSOL's darkest album, this beautiful, elegant track brought together Blade Runner samples and a feeling of a decaying London on a soft bed of electronics that carries the listener along for five blissful minutes. The video, with London being invaded by all kinds of computer-generated aliens, is well worth a look, too, even if some of the effects have dated a little.

176
Downset
Empower
Do We Speak a Dead Language?
1996

A little surprised, I have to say, that this band lasted as long as this year. But then, seeing as they were formed originally from the ashes of one of the very first rap metal bands (Social Justice) I guess it's kinda apt that they should outlive most of their followers, too. This song also has the "honour" of being the first song I saw performed live in London once I'd gone to Uni (and also that was the first gig I ever reviewed, too. Happy days...), and that makes it a little special to me - but either way, this is searing stuff that like much of Downset's material, features lyrics that are considerably less destructive than many other rap-metal acts. Vocalist Rey Oropreza instead chose lyrics that encouraged listeners to make a positive difference to their life - and this song's message was no different, as it simply burns with it.

175
Roni Size / Reprazent
Brown Paper Bag
New Forms
1997

When drum'n'bass kicked off in a big way in the mid-to-late 90s, it was remarkable that each of the names that broke through to the dance mainstream all had such different styles within the same broad remit. Roni Size may not have had success on the same level as Goldie, but his winning of the Mercury Music Prize twelve years ago for the extraordinary New Forms perhaps gained him greater musical recognition. And it was tracks like this that were really special - the broad, jazzy sweeps fused perfectly with the charging drum'n'bass, and the full nine minute version passes in a flash.

174
Snog
Hooray!!
Buy Me... I'll Change Your Life
1997

David Thrussell's strange, strange band welcomes the end of world…in pop form. Well, I say pop. This is twisted, strange stuff, but it does have a habit of burrowing into your head and becoming one of those earworms that won't quite shift. For all it's apocalyptic lyrics, too, it's bright and summery as his songs go - but then, perhaps that's the point...

173
Marion
Time
This World And Body
1996

To some, this fact that this band never had the success of other bands lumped in as "Britpop" was criminal - and I'm one of them. Infinitely more talented than certain other north-west based peers, with a clutch of killer singles, they sadly vanished into a haze of drug problems, and their (also brilliant) second album limped into view some years later with barely a wimper, and sank without trace. Something of an unlucky band, really, and tracks like this remind me of what could have been: a glorious, aching lament to lost love and reflections on past mistakes, and Jaime Harding's vocal performance is something to behold.

172
Mercury Rev
Chasing a Bee
Yerself Is Steam
1991

Way back in the mists of time, before Mercury Rev cleaned up, kept off the drugs, kicked out original singer David Baker and turned to (blissfully great) Americana, they were a very odd band indeed, drenching completely "out there" pop songs in masses of fuzz and feedback. And sometimes, those pop songs would fight to the forefront - and Chasing A Bee is one of those moments. It's epic, beautiful and wonderfully mental.

171
Apoptygma Berzerk
Deep Red
7
1996

One of Apop's earlier singles, I have to admit that I didn't know this even had a video until I was trying to find a link for this. With the changes this band have gone through stylistically in the past ten years or so, this sounds like almost a different band entirely - a thumping electro-goth track that rightly is still part of Apop live sets even now (and it reminds me, I must use it in a DJ set again sometime...).

170
Rocket from the Crypt
Middle
Scream, Dracula, Scream!
1995

RFTC: one of the greatest rock bands of the 90s. Fact. Also a fact: one of my biggest regrets is never seeing them live. Anyway, rather than choosing perhaps one of the more obvious singles, this is the short (minute-long) opener to their breakthrough album Scream, Dracula, Scream. A torrent of gang vocals, a surging beat, and a clever pacing that steps up the track each verse until it bursts into life...before stopping way too quickly. Either way, if you ever wanted a reminder as to whether rock'n'roll can still be great decades after it first began, here's your pointer.

169
Jocasta
Change Me
No Coincidence
1996

Not all mid-90s indie in the UK was Britpop. One of the bands on the fringes for a while were Tim Arnold's first stab at the pop world, followed by a prolific solo career that has seen some unusual influences. Not that Jocasta were particularly normal - although like other bands I'm mentioning here, both my girlfriend and I are struggling to remember anything other than this song (I did have the album way back in the mists of time) - mixing in poetry influences (the lyrics are marvellous) as well as a harder, rockier sound than many other indie bands of the time. Anyway, this song is simply a perfect example of why there was so much more to the mid-90s indie scene than Blur, Oasis and Pulp.

168
Evil Superstars
B.A.B.Y.
Boogie-Children-R-Us
1998

I can remember little about this band, other than this track. What I do recall - they were a Belgian band who supported both dEUS and Girls Against Boys over here at some point, and they had a handful of great songs, of which this in particular stood head and shoulders above the rest. A strange, really quite sleazy drawl over an electronic backing, this was good fun if nothing else.

167
Meat Beat Manifesto
Radio Babylon
Original Fire
1990

An absolute stone-cold electronic classic, the year it comes from depends on which version you have. I have it on Original Fire, which dates from 1997, but sonically it's obviously older, and in fact dates from around 1990. A dub-influenced, quasi-breakbeat underpins things, and it's tracks like this that make me wonder how exactly they were ever lumped in as industrial (signing to Wax Trax! seemed to be the main reason!). MBM's influence is huge, though, and while they may have had better songs, to me they never made a better dancefloor track than this, period.

166
Stone Temple Pilots
Silvergun Superman
Purple
1994

A band perhaps somewhat unfairly maligned at the time - seen as riding on the coattails of the grunge bands, and perhaps also because they ended up with greater success than many of them. Whatever the reason, their mix of hard rock, whimsical pop and much, much darker moments certainly caught the ear of many. This was always my favourite song, though, a perfect balance of the elements above, the brusing verses and melodic, lighter chorus contrasting well. It was the opener on their comeback tour in the US, too (a shame they never came over here).

165
Pulp
I Spy
Different Class
1995

1995 was Pulp's year in Britpop terms, without a doubt - Different Class was probably the finest album of the Britpop period, and that wasn't just down to the singles (as great as they all were). It was down to tracks like this - the 60s film-soundtrack sweep, and the fuming, spiteful lyrics detailing a tale of suburban jealously and revenge. In fact, I'm not sure Jarvis Cocker ever wrote lyrics better than this.

164
Primal Scream
Come Together
Screamadelica
1991

No, not the truncated and butchered single version, but the original, epic album centrepiece. Screamadelica may have been endlessly dissected over the years, but at it's heart it is simply an awesome fusion of rock and dance that perhaps just came along at the right moment. This track's blissed-out dub textures and gospel samples (and, perhaps, it's oh-so-slightly hippyish tendencies) make it a glorious summer track - so writing this in a cold mid-November perhaps it loses a little of it's impact. Still, the fact that I'm still listening to this eighteen years on perhaps helps to explain just how good this is.

163
Monster Magnet
Powertrip
Powertrip
1998

Where Dave Wyndorf proclaims his desire to become a full-time rock star, and let's be honest, this sure as hell sounds like the deal worked out well for him. A massive, stadium rock track, a world away from their more stoner rock beginnings, but frankly the sound suits Dave and the band well. The over-the-top video is a hoot, too...

162
The Delgados
Pull the Wires From the Wall
Peloton
1999

A now long-departed indie band from Glasgow, who were much more spiky than their sometimes dreamy sound often suggested. Often it was Emma Pollock's casually detached vocal delivery - and caustic lyrics - that made the difference, as here. Although the sweeping orchestral backing helps too.

161
Autechre
Second Bad Vilbel
Anvil Vapre
1995

Nearly fifteen years old, and probably still ahead of it's time, this track's mechanised, pounding rhythms thrilled then and they still thrill now. I've never dared try to play this in a DJ set at an industrial club, perhaps I should sometime - but it's steadily shifting pace probably would scare the dancefloor away. Shame, as enjoyed really loud this track is extraordinary.

Friday: My top 200 tracks 1990-99 Pt.02: 160 to 121

1. What is your favorite song by 29?
Queens of the Stone Age : Probably something off Songs For The Deaf. They have alot of good songs.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
Leftfield : Afro-right. It was off the Wipeout XL soundtrack, which acted as my gateway to electronic music. I also discovered Orbital there. Hell, the Wipeout XL soundtrack is easily the best electronica compilation I have come across. What a classic.

3. What is your favorite album by 33?
CoLD SToRAGE : His WipeOut soundtrack. The original. XL was good stuff, but the original is probably the darkest he ever was. His online albums are a little light, but I dig those too.

4. What is your favorite album by 49?
Jerry Goldsmith : Alien OST. One of the greatest soundtrack ever composed. Just brilliant brillant stuff. Gives me the creeps...

5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Meat Beat Manifesto : Nine. I think I might own more of his stuff than anyone. All it is worth buying.

6. What is your favorite song by 50?
Don Davis : Anything Is Possible. What an ending piece. So uplifting... Really suits the whole feeling of Neo finding his true place...

7. Is there a song by 7 that makes you sad?
Enigma : The whole McMxc A.D. album. His darkest piece of work and best.

8. What is your favorite song by 15?
The Chemical Brothers : Surrender. Only because that one has no filler. :) Push the Button is awesome as well.

9. What is your favorite song by 5?
KMFDM : Megalomaniac

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy?
Nirvana : On A Plain. Lots of feel good vibes with this one. Reminds me of my early 90s childhood.

11. What is your favorite album by 40?
Akira Ifukube : His score for the original Godzilla film Gojira is the only one I would listen to nowadays.

12. What is your favorite song by 10?
Juno Reactor : God Is God. Mesmerizing piece of work. Love that insane synth line.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30?
Kou Ootani : Watching Gundam W. Takes me way back. Lovely action score.

14. What is your favorite song by 38?
LFO : Tied Up

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you sad?
Incubus : Wish You Where Here

16. How many times have you seen 25 live?
David Arnold : Only in the movies.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23
Michael Jackson : Something off Dangerous. Fuck Thriller, Dangerous is his best piece of work.

18. What is your favorite album by 11?
The Future Sound of London : Accelerator. Wonderful early 90s electronic. Up there with Aphex Twin's SAW 1 album. Now this would be Lifeforms, but I still haven't "got" that album even after many repeated listens.

19. How did you get into 1?
Nine Inch Nails : I had heard of TR and NIN off hand on forums and electronic essentials list. I almost bought it at Best Buy after having read about it one day. Couple years later, my friend in High School had a DAT tape with The Downward Spiral on it. He showed me the intro track and it totally ripped my head off. I had never heard anything so brutal and agonizing. I later downloaded the full album off Limewire and god that first listen... I had never heard such a depressing album before. It totally beat my early conceptions of music to the ground. Rest is history.

20. Have you ever seen 14 live?
Bjork : She would be my second choice after Orbital. I've heard she is incredible live. I have a few of her officially released live albums and they totally amaze me. Sounds just the same as she does in the studio and sometimes even better.

21. What is a good memory involving 27?
Kou Ootani : ^

22. What is your favorite song by 16?
Amon Tobin : Theme From Battery. His Chaos Theory OST is the best thing he did. One of the best video game soundtracks I have heard. Haunting, sleek, and stealthy.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47?
Monster Magnet : Look to Your Orb for the Warning

24. What is your favorite album by 18?
Led Zeppelin : Physical Graffiti. Easy.

25. What is your favorite song by 21?
Daft Punk : Face To Face

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26?
Rammstein : Du Hast

27. What's your favorite lyric by 3?
Orbital : They typically have no lyrics, but the best one they did with them was Illuminate.

28. What is you favorite song by 2?
Shiro Sagisu : Expansion of Blockade. One of the most uplifting and depressing pieces of soundtrack score I have come across.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32?
Red Hot Chili Peppers : Scar Tissue. My ex was into them.

30. What is you favorite song by 8?
Underworld : Banstyle/Sappy's Curry. Some of the best electronic music EVER recorded. Hands down. Always gives me chills...

31. How many times have you seen 17 live?
Breaking Benjamin : Nope.

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy?
Rage Against the Machine : HAHA actually more pumped.

33. What is you favorite album by 12?
The Orb : Orbus Terrarum. Such classy stuff. Took me a long time to understand it, but when I did, it was totally worth it. Not one weak moment on here. I have never come across better ambient than this.

34. What is the worst song by 45?
Massive Attack : Something off Protection.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34?
Boards of Canada : Sixtyten. Always makes my head spin. So hypnotizing... Easily my favorite track by them.

36. What is your favorite album by 48?
Juano/Nova : His debut. One of the best from this year.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live?
Audioslave : Never. They aren't even around anymore.

38. What is your favorite song by 36?
Justice : Phantom

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28?
The Crystal Method : (Can't You) Trip Like I Do

40. What is your favorite album by 7?
The Prodigy : The Fat of the Land. MFTJG is great too, but TFOTL is punchy and lean. And It's one of the first electronic albums I got into. What a classic...

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy?
Mimosis : Kyoto Sunrise

42. What is your favorite album by 41?
LUNA SEA : Mother. Nice prog rock. Took me awhile to wrap my head around it.

43. What is your favorite song by 24?
Aphex Twin : Not going to happen.

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46?
Hybird : None I can think of...

45. What is your favorite song by 35?
Kelly Bailey : All his work is good. Hazardous Environments.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you sad?
John Williams : Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye from E.T.. Extremely moving. His work stands alone from his films amazingly. You don't even need the images.

47. What is your favorite album by 4?
Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori : Maybe his ODST score, but I still have a soft spot for the original.

48. Who is a favorite member of 37?
Paul Hartnoll : Paul Hartnoll. :)

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43?
Lunatic Calm : Leave You Far Behind off The Matrix soundtrack. Go figure.

50. How many albums do you own by 20?
The Back Horn : Four. All good stuff.
