Sirius\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Left Of Center<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nI proceeded to check out each and every track.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s what you do in the Net age, everything’s hearable.\u00c2\u00a0 And I was stunned how genre-specific this shit was.\u00c2\u00a0 How you had to be a fan of the music to truly enjoy it, how it wasn’t one listen grab you.<\/p>\n
Not that it all sucked.\u00c2\u00a0 The new Arcade Fire track?\u00c2\u00a0 Certainly special, the band deserves the hype.\u00c2\u00a0 And when I heard Kaiser Chiefs’ "Ruby" on the radio this afternoon, I was reminded of the magic of "I Predict A Riot".\u00c2\u00a0 But really, if this is the shit, we’re shit out of luck.\u00c2\u00a0 I mean this ain’t no Alanis Morissette, left of center shit that’s universal.<\/p>\n
Oh, I liked Robbers On High Street.\u00c2\u00a0 And the Modest Mouse track wasn’t bad…\u00c2\u00a0 But listening to the Shins you’ll wonder what all the hype is about.\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, CD sales aren’t only off because of iPods, this stuff just doesn’t grab you, not unless you’re hooked to begin with.<\/p>\n
And I heard the Shins again on the way to the eye doctor, where I found out I was wearing my contacts in the wrong eyes, and was again suitably unimpressed.<\/p>\n
But when I was done, and got back in my car and turned my Sirius back on, there was a killer track on the radio.\u00c2\u00a0 "Millstone", by Brand New.\u00c2\u00a0 And then the CANDYSKINS!\u00c2\u00a0 "Wembley".\u00c2\u00a0 God, this DJ, he was on a run!<\/p>\n
Turned out it was all about the DJ.\u00c2\u00a0 This was Matt Pinfield.<\/p>\n
Supposedly Matt Pinfield had cred before he appeared on MTV.\u00c2\u00a0 But MTV flattens your image, renders you two-dimensional, it’s hard to be appear dark and rock if you’re on TV.<\/p>\n
Then again, Pinfield ain’t that dark.\u00c2\u00a0 God, when he talks it’s like listening to your best buddy, who’s not teaching you a lesson, but imparting wisdom, all in a friendly way!<\/p>\n
And then Matt went on to spin an acoustic Cure song.<\/p>\n
And I confirmed my suspicion that last.fm and all the suggestion software radio would fail.\u00c2\u00a0 Because it’s about the personality.<\/p>\n
They say that Matt Pinfield gets to play whatever he wants.\u00c2\u00a0 Which is a rarity on the tightly-formatted Sirius.\u00c2\u00a0 But it makes all the difference, I felt like I was on a ride with him!<\/p>\n
And then, just to compare, I switched over to the comparable station on XM, Ethel.<\/p>\n
Now Ethel experienced a backlash.\u00c2\u00a0 They cut the playlist.\u00c2\u00a0 The PD has been excoriated all over the Net.\u00c2\u00a0 Can’t tell you if the listeners are right, I just don’t listen to the station that much.\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, all this modern rock has made me realize my tastes are much more aligned with Mike Marrone.\u00c2\u00a0 I like a song more than noise.\u00c2\u00a0 But this song they were playing on Ethel right then…\u00c2\u00a0 Wow, it cut to my heart.\u00c2\u00a0 You see it was "Handbags and Gladrags".<\/p>\n
Ever see a blind man cross the road
Tryin’ to make the other side<\/em><\/p>\nBut this wasn’t the famous version by Rod Stewart, rather this was a cover of the Mike d’Abo penned tune by the Stereophonics.\u00c2\u00a0 Who realized they were that hip?<\/p>\n
Turns out Rod Stewart’s take on his debut wasn’t even the first version.\u00c2\u00a0 Rather, that was done by Chris Farlowe.\u00c2\u00a0 Then came renditions by Double Feature and Love Affair.\u00c2\u00a0 You remember those, right?\u00c2\u00a0 HA!<\/p>\n
Just like DJs, it depends on the performance.\u00c2\u00a0 And Rod Stewart knocked it out of the park.\u00c2\u00a0 And I’m sure the Stereophonics never would have covered it if they hadn’t heard his famous take.\u00c2\u00a0 No one’s gonna cover the shit that Rod Stewart does now.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s just about commerce.<\/p>\n
You’ll dig the Stereophonics’ version.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not necessary, but it’s intriguing.\u00c2\u00a0 But not as intriguing as the cover of "Love and Mercy" by Golden Smog that I heard on the Loft.<\/p>\n
Don VanCleave is right.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve got an exhibition crisis.\u00c2\u00a0 People don’t hear the great music.\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, according to the Wikipedia, the Stereophonics’ version of "Handbags and Gladrags" went Top Ten in 2001.\u00c2\u00a0 Who knew?\u00c2\u00a0 We need people to pick the tunes.\u00c2\u00a0 We need outlets to expose these people that are trusted, that listeners can believe in.<\/p>\n
There’s great shit all over satellite radio.\u00c2\u00a0 But somehow, the average American doesn’t see the services as necessary.\u00c2\u00a0 Sirius is the Howard Stern service and XM is..?<\/p>\n
You’ve got to convince people to sign up.\u00c2\u00a0 Both outlets have done an awful job of this.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe when every car comes with a satellite radio and a free trial, the tide will turn.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe people just need to be exposed to it.\u00c2\u00a0 Then again, radio is now a dirty word.\u00c2\u00a0 The industry burned it out.\u00c2\u00a0 People hate radio just like they hate the major labels.<\/p>\n
\nHowdy all,<\/p>\n
Wow. What a shit week last week. I would blame it on that lull between Christmas and the first releases of the new year. But, If you look at the Billboard Top 200, there is not a bunch of stuff there to drive anyone into the stores. Especially ours.<\/p>\n
The coming 60 days have some releases that are dreams for us. All independent. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Bloc Party, The Shins and Arcade Fire are all on deck and there is much excitement, yes even for physical goods.<\/p>\n
What concerns me and what I think is a root problem for our\u00c2\u00a0 industry is radio. As great as the new Shins record is (and it is great), you can’t hear it on any mainstream radio anywhere in most parts of the US. Same with the other three titles. This is the new stuff that ought to be promoted. All I get is Nickelback and Hinder mixed in with 15 year old Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots. Not very exciting. Not knocking the two current bands dominating radio because I know they have an audience. I am just saying that radio has become this ultra dull lifeless thing that I rarely turn on.<\/p>\n
I can hear you now saying "Don, you caveman, no one listens to the radio. Everyone hears about new music on the internet". Well, that is just not 100% true. A nice chunk of people hear about new music on the internet (obviously). But frankly, many people are just too damn busy to spend non-work time in front of their computers. Some are lucky enough to get to stream KEXP at work but most are blocked.<\/p>\n
As I have said before, I keep on top of everything by sticking my dial on "Left of Center" on Sirius. In my opinion, there should be a station like this in every market. For those who have not made the leap into satellite radio. For those who get sun and don’t live on the internet. In other words, the majority of people out there. The people who would be purchasing music but just can’t get turned on.<\/p>\n
My kids don’t turn on their radio any more. It sucks too bad they say. What is terrible is that no matter how many ways people have to get turned on to new music these days, what they really need is a filter. Unfortunately, the biggest filter out there, the one in every car on the road, is blocking the best stuff from the air.<\/p>\n
