Casale knew two of the students who had been killed, and even claimed to see one student, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Krause" title="Allison Krause">Allison Krause</a>, with exit wounds from the M1 Garand rifle. At this moment, Casale claims he changed the idea of Devolution into a serious concept.</blockquote>"Devolution" has always been a concept in-between "dark joke" and "really dark joke". Devo is definitely one of those bands that becomes more interesting the more you get into them, which is why they're such an obsession of mine. The Devo conception of devolution has little to do with the fallacious notion that we're sliding backwards on some evolutionary progressive ladder, though that's its ironic origins. It's more a mockery of and at times a celebration of the inanity of Americana. The War on Terra has been a bevy of high devo moments---everything from 9/11 kitsch to Bush wearing a jumpsuit in front of a "Mission Accomplished" banner could safely be described as "devo".Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-48767754591257021522007-08-24T06:09:00.000-07:002007-08-24T06:12:20.316-07:00Oh shit, Friday already<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/250/444264737_42fe0b62cc.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/250/444264737_42fe0b62cc.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=09D03B3F7DD2FF7D">"Ohio"---Gorch Fock</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=9EE5AEB57CA22AE6">"Chickee Town"---The Yellow Jackets</a>Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-19346033533843381212007-08-17T05:50:00.000-07:002007-08-17T05:54:11.184-07:00Random two from the random ten<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/85/215613084_379549e700.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/85/215613084_379549e700.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=3F4422F47A5B32DC">"Sunday Morning Coming Down"---Sammi Smith</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=1B4B28CA79BE90D6">"Ca Plane Pour Moi"---Sonic Youth</a>Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-31698824940359528942007-07-29T08:48:00.001-07:002007-07-29T08:50:18.467-07:00Progress is possible<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/228/494803136_37a9776d33.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/228/494803136_37a9776d33.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=elNLSkhheFhEa1UwTVE9PQ"><br />"Ladyflash"---The Go!

There's a lot of good protest songs from all sorts of genres. I was reminded of this fact while bicycling the other day and having this moving song by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas come onto my iPod.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=bWJyS3hkNEhveE0wTVE9PQ">"I Should Be Proud"---Martha Reeves and the Vandellas</a>Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-90693394430976548562007-06-18T12:04:00.000-07:002007-06-18T12:31:42.482-07:00The Devil and Daniel Johnston<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.rejectedunknown.com/art/gallery/Private6/danjohn-wall%20copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.rejectedunknown.com/art/gallery/Private6/danjohn-wall%20copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I finally watched "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GNOSGS?ie=UTF8&tag=pandagon04-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000GNOSGS">The Devil And Daniel Johnston</a>" last night, and I have to say that it deserves all the raves it's getting. It helps that Johnston seems to have recorded everything that happened to him, ever, giving the filmmakers a lot to work with. In a subtle way, the movie was something of an indictment of the way people romanticize artists with mental illness, when mental illness is mostly just a tragic waste. Indicts to a degree---more interestingly, the filmmakers allowed that Johnston's manic depression is personally hellish, but quite probably one of the factors that makes him a genius songwriter. All in all, it's hard to make a movie that's even-handed and still intriguing, and this movie is it. I particularly liked how the filmmakers were able to show Johnston's parents sympathetically without whitewashing the way their fundamentalist religious methods of bringing him up seemed to have escalated his mental problems.<br /><br />This mural Johnston did is a bona fide city landmark, and the city even stepped in to protect it when the record shop it was on was bought out by a Baja Fresh. I can attest that it's something of an arresting bit of graffiti---whenever I've taken people who don't know about it down to the Drag, they usually remark upon it. It makes people happy.<br /><br />If you've never heard Johnston's music, I recommend checking it out. Here's a particular favorite of mine:<br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=WFJYZm1UQzdRR2MwTVE9PQ"><br />"Like A Monkey"---Daniel Johnston</a><br /><br />Frequent Pandagon commenter Kathy McCarty is interviewed extensively in the movie, and she's done an album of Johnston cover songs, with the idea being that a lot of his stuff is inaccessible because of the obtuse way he performs it and her covers might make it more accessible. Here's her lovely cover of "Walking the Cow".<br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=WFJYZm1WUnJFd2MwTVE9PQ"><br />"Walking the Cow"---Kathy McCarty</a>Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-3920720820636116142007-06-15T05:03:00.000-07:002007-06-15T05:10:02.002-07:00Random two from the random ten<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://flickr.com/photos/miss_bunny/538997632/in/set-72157594578720876/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1082/538997632_1e8d7311f2.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/miss_bunny/538997632/in/set-72157594578720876/"><br />Is it wrong that I want these shoes?</a> I'm getting corny in my old age. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7612">She seems to have quite the collection of arty shoes.</a> What I like about these is the really extraneous lace around the edges.<br /><br /><br />Something of a garage rock theme.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=WFJXQk13YTJnYU0wTVE9PQ">"Don't Give Up"---The Noisettes</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=WFJXQk05bTgzMWswTVE9PQ">"Moonshine"---The Marksmen</a>Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-50951783217927385852007-06-14T11:13:00.000-07:002007-06-14T11:15:37.389-07:00Pandas bring the funk<a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=WFJVTkZ0RkV1Yk0wTVE9PQ">Bohannon---"Let's Start To Dance Again"</a><br /><br />Irrelevant but cute picture:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ilovebacon.com/012607/panda.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.ilovebacon.com/012607/panda.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-19652146919755258732007-06-13T14:17:00.000-07:002007-06-13T14:25:59.387-07:00Taint-free taintation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/16/91816546_55a01dc2cb.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/16/91816546_55a01dc2cb.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Obviously, I like cover songs quite a bit, but here's a version of an original where the cover became more famous:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=WFJYQ1ZsT01iR0kwTVE9PQ">Gloria Jones---"Tainted Love"</a><br /><br />I will admit to liking both this version and the Soft Cell version, but then again, I have a soft spot for soulfree 80s New Wave. The song I got off the peerless box set Beg, Scream and Shout. It's on the first of the two Scream discs, which are my favorite discs. However, the Beg ones have the pull of the Jackson 5 kicking some soulful ass.Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077241957886500200.post-5414992447306025592007-06-11T11:32:00.000-07:002007-06-11T11:34:23.350-07:00Dedicated to the 101st Fighting KeyboardistsMay all your bumper stickers be safe.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=WFJWcHBKY3k1R00wTVE9PQ">Mojo Nixon---"Louisiana Liplock"</a>Amanda Marcottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05098500818240791320noreply@blogger.com0
