Sorry it's been so so so long. Very busy semester. In addition to 19 credits of class I'm doing a radio show and being in a real band that plays shows and writing a lot and doing reading shows, and innumerable et ceteras. I know this one has a lot of death metal in it, sorry if that's not your thing. There's an Andrew Bird track in the middle of it all to make up for it. That Combat Astronomy song is my favorite song of right now. The final song is a rough demo from my new band.

Hopefully I'll get a new show up sooner than this one happened.

I really like making these. Definitely more pleasant than when I had to force a speech every episode. See when I started this thing I was in the middle of nowhere and just wanted a space in which to establish myself, but now I'm surrounded by people I can talk to about the serious shit which is much more rewarding than sending off these salvos into the anonymous void and so the reason I was doing this has gone.

But I've replaced that reason with a different one.

#138: AOTR Mixtape 2: Other

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 00:06:00 GMT

Tracks:
Mono - Yearning
TV On The Radio - Playhouses
Ben Allison - Tricky Dick
The Advantage - Metroid: Kraid's Lair
The Evens - Everybody Knows
Joe Lally - All Must Pay
Islands - Rough Gem
Maritime - People, The Vehicles
Latterman - 'Dozer Rage
These Arms Are Snakes - Mescaline Eyes
Subtle - Midas Gutz
Liars - The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack

Mono - You Are There

The only post-rock record on my list, so what? Mogwai's newest is absolutely brilliant and fatally flawed. Laura just doesn't interest me that much. Gregor Samsa is really damn good, but I don't feel like listening to it more than once or twice. Etc etc etc. Mono are glacial like for real, but when they blow up, they make you remember it. Their songs are all very, very long, but if you have the attention span they'll reward you. Also, they're from Japan, and that's cool, right?

TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain

You knew this was on here. Come on. This record is damn near perfect. Every song is edgy, anxious, and just won't let the fuck go of you, even if this was a conventional pop record it would be astounding how good the songwriting is, but the dense, noisy production takes it over the top. Oh yeah, and best vocalist in pop music today? Probably.

Ben Allison - Cowboy Justice

I like jazz! This is good jazz! Contemporary post-bop that isn't afraid to rock out, with sparse guitar-drums-bass-trumpet arrangements that bring some serious folk and rock influences in. Good times.

The Advantage - Elf-Titled

They play entirely covers of NES music. And it's good! Who would've thought? The drummer plays guitar for Hella, and his tight polyrhythms are what make this band work. Engaging, and danceable, and entirely worthwhile even if you've never heard any of the songs before. Fuck the Minibosses, this is the real shit. Much, much more than nostalgia.

The Evens - Get Evens

Hey, remember Fugazi? Ian MacKaye is older now, but he and his wife can still write great fucking songs. Sensitive but pissed off indie-pop duets with that elusive DC sound.

Joe Lally - There To Here

Hey, remember Fugazi? Joe Lally is older now, but he can still write great fucking songs. Sparse, almost ambient drum-and-bass tracks with great, great lyrics.

Islands - Return To The Sea

Nick Diamonds returns post-Unicorns in fine form. Musically, this is very upbeat and layered, with strings, horns, funky-ass bass, and an assortment of fucked little instruments contribute to a full and complex sound. Lyrically, this is absurd, abstract, and damn funny. As a package, it's one of the most fun record of the year. Bounce around like children! Do it!

Maritime - We, The Vehicles

This is probably only on the list because I have the biggest fucking boner for The Promise Ring, but it's a solid record nonetheless. Davey von Bohlen doesn't sound like his voice will break any second anymore, but he can still write upbeat pop songs that don't make you feel ashamed for liking them.

Latterman - ...We Are Still Alive

Lots of good punk rock records this year (None More Black, Lawrence Arms, Dead To Me, The Falcon, etc), but they all felt flawed or incomplete in their own little ways, and this record is so fucking consistent and solid. Sure, it sounds pretty much exactly like their last album, but their last album sounded really fucking good, so who cares? Driving and positive, this makes you feel like jumping on a bed and yelling, in a really, really good way.

These Arms Are Snakes - Easter

TAAS finally prove that they are worth knowing about for reasons beyond "members of Botch." These songs aren't abrasive at all, but are so fucking menacing. Sometimes their guitars and drums and vocals sound like clattering machinery. Good implementation of keyboards as well, that's very rare in menacing music. They usually just end up being cheesy.

Subtle - for hero: for fool

Doseone's voice on this record is fucking incredible. His usual nasal falsetto and stutter is in full form, but he's got a new deep, low, powerful growl that you just can't believe comes from the same guy. The production is so dense I have no idea what's going on most of the time, but really this is the Doseone show, let's be serious. And this is probably the best hip-hop vocal performance by anyone, ever, no joke. Lyrics are just breathtaking as well.

Liars - Drum's Not Dead

Tribal drumming and layered drones over obtuse vocals? Sweet! Liars have made a career out of spite for the listener, but now they've gotten accessible, and damn is it good! The first nine tracks lull you into a meditative state, and then they bust out the closer, which forcibly makes you believe that everything, ever, will be okay. Such a good feeling, this record.

Enjoy!

#137: AOTR Mixtape 1: Metal/Hardcore

Tue, 9 Jan 2007 00:21:00 GMT

Tracks:
Russian Circles - Carpe
Made Out Of Babies - Proud To Drown
Isis - Wrists Of Kings
The Sword - Barael's Blade
Melvins - The Hawk
The Blood Brothers - Vital Beach
Genghis Tron - Dead Mountain Mouth
Converge - No Heroes
Daughters - Fiery
Harvey Milk - Love Swing
Mastodon - Capillarian Crest
Pyramids - Lucid
Dysrhythmia - Seal/Breaker/Void

Russian Circles â Enter

Very powerful music. Expansive, post-rock-ish metal in the vein of Pelican (sort-of) that is focused around the juxtaposition of ethereal melody and thick, driving riffs. Iâve never heard a band nail dynamic shifts like this one. Epic and beautiful while retaining that metal groove.

Made Out Of Babies â Coward

Creepy as all fuck. This is music that is honestly frightening. Itâs easy to ignore everything but Julie Christmasâ entrancing and terrifying voice, impish and vile, but behind it is some incredibly solid post-hardcore. A challenging listen, and not for everyone, but if youâre looking for âextremeâ? music that actually offers something offputting, youâve gotta hear this.

Isis â In The Absence of Truth

Isis are not physically capable of making a bad record. Although this record is a change in tone and style from previous releases, it is nevertheless relentlessly solid, by turns chilling, entrancing, and utterly intense. Their songs no longer have the light-to-heavy dynamic that attracted so many to them in the past, opting instead for songs that, while equally expansive, are mostly consistent in their trancelike groove.

The Sword â Age Of Winters

A debut record coming off of no hype, this one took everyone by surprise. Yes, the lyrics are silly D&D tripe, but do you really care? Accusations of being nothing more than a Black Sabbath clone are completely unfounded, while this band isnât the most original they draw their influences from a wide variety of metal, and youâll find just as many stoner and thrash elements as doomy grooves. Their riffs are like mountains, and I canât imagine anybody not enjoying this unless they were really trying hard not to.

Melvins â (a) Senile Animal

Iâve never been into the Melvins very hard. Sure, Bullhead, Houdini, and Stoner Witch are great records, but the bandâs output is way too haphazard and inconsistent for me to be a dedicated fan. So when I heard they had a new record out, I wasnât particularly excited. Then I heard that Big Business had joined the band, giving them great bass, double vocalists, and two drummers. The sobering influence of their new members is obvious in the songwriting, the groupâs most consistent and conventional in years. Usually I use conventional as an insult, but in this case it just means they eschew their usual noodling for some down-to-business shredding. Amazing riffs, amazing hooks and amazing beats is all you need to know about this record.

The Blood Brothers â Young Machetes

This band gets a ton of hatred, 100% undeserved. Yes, a substantial portion of their fanbase is teenage girls. Yes, theyâre artsy and pretentious. Yes, theyâre ridiculously talented. Yes, they know how to make their songs catchy as hell and genuinely disturbing. I had never heard a record that honestly freaked me out while making me want to dance at the same time until this one came around. Twisted, disturbing, and utterly brilliant. Naysayers, get your ears checked.

Genghis Tron â Dead Mountain Mouth

Genghis Tronâs debut EP, Cloak Of Love, was a fun but gimmicky combination of electronica and grind. Intriguing, but hard to take seriously. For their debut full-length, theyâve taken their style and made it into something fluid and strangely pretty, an unexpectedly mature record. I canât really describe why it works, it just does. There are ridiculous tapping riffs, and long sections of melodic keyboards, and they work well together. I never wouldâve thought.

Converge â No Heroes

Okay, did you seriously not expect this record to be awesome? Converge are consistently the singular most talented and creative songwriters in the hardcore scene, and with every record theyâve put out theyâve topped the previous one. This is no exception. It completes their three-album cycle of perfection beginning with Jane Doe and continuing through You Fail Me. This is pretty much as good as it gets. If you donât already have this and love it, youâve got some serious catching up to do.

Daughters â Hell Songs

I was unimpressed with Daughtersâ debut record, Canada Songs. It had a bit of spark, but it was buried under uninspired spazz-grind, and for every piece of shining creativity, it suffered by unneeded adherence to genre conventions. When Hydra Head announced it was releasing their new record, however, I knew they would put out something worthwhile, and Hell Songs is it. I have no earthly idea why there is so much fan backlash against this record. To better suit their jittery, neurotic instrumentation, theyâve completely changed their vocal style, discarding their tired screams for a jittery, neurotic, bluesy drawl. Youâve gotta hear it to believe it.

Harvey Milk â Special Wishes

I have no idea how to even begin describing this band. Very few of the songs on this record sound similar, but they make sense together. The music is usually sludgy, but occasionally explodes into bursts of triumphant southern-rock riffing. The vocals are an uncontrolled groan like Iâve never heard before in my life. The passion and intensity behind this record are unmatchable. You, personally, should own this record.

Mastodon â Blood Mountain

I hated this record the first time I heard it. Like, HATED. It took me months to come to terms with the fact that this is the new Mastodon record. After producing the mountainous, crushing masterpiece Remission and the slightly disappointing but still vaguely huge and sorta heavy Leviathan, Mastodon have made a record that is, well, silly. And pretty stupid. That said, this record is positively bursting with inspired riffs, lightning-fast drumbeats, catchy hooks, and technical proficiency like youâve never seen. So itâs not serious. So what? Sometimes itâs okay just to be fun.

Pyramids â Following The Tracks, Forcing Motion Through Phases

Usually, I donât like âconcept albums.â? That tends to be code for ridiculous ballads and a bunch of claptrap about âcharactersâ? and âstorylinesâ? backed up by lyrics that sound like sixth graders trying to be âabstract.â? That is not the case for this record. Detailing a semi-metaphorical introspective train ride with intelligent and deft use of language, this is one of the only records Iâve ever heard whose lyrics make sense when read as poetry. The music is wonderfully-composed as well, and though it is a scant 7 tracks, it functions as one coherent whole. Screamo with heavy emphasis on post-rock elements!

Dysrhythmia â Barriers And Passages

Entirely instrumental, and entirely engaging. Most instrumental bands drag at points, but Dysrhythmia just keep powering ahead, keeping you constantly engaged. Polyrhythms like youâve never imagined! Six-string bass over guitar that sounds kinda like Steve Albiniâs guitar in Shellac, if Shellac was an absurdly technical metal band, and great drums too.

More to come. Be afraid.

#80: R.I.P. BEAR VS SHARK

denbez@gmail.com — Thu, 22 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

As a fellow mourner told me, a Bear Vs Shark greatest hits album would simply be their two albums repackaged in one case. However, due to time constraints, I've had to pick out my favorite ten songs. If you don't get both of their albums, you are a criminal.

Tracks:
Catamaran
Campfire
5, 6 Kids
Buses/No Buses
The Great Dinosaurs With Fifties Section
Michigan
Entrance Of The Elected
We Were Sad But Now We're Rebuilding
Heard Iron Bug, "They're Coming To Town"
Ma Jolie

There is nothing left to live for.

denbez@gmail.com — Tue, 17 May 2005 01:24:34 GMT

Rhymesayers Entertainment has given me permission to play any track by any of their artists! Big thanks to Rhymesayers!

This means that the TNP will now feature some indie hip-hop. Hope you're openminded about this shit!

Rhymesayers features such high-profile indie acts as Atmosphere, P.O.S., Grayskul, MF Doom, and Eyedea & Abilities.

If you're a militant anti-hip-hop crusader, then I see it as my duty to serve you up a piping hot epiphany. And if you've ever used the slogan "R.A.P.: Retards Attempting Poetry", then you're just plain stupid. I'ma show you some of the best poetry of the last ten years, and it's embedded in beats, my friend.

TSR's first TNP article!

denbez@gmail.com — Sun, 20 Mar 2005 16:21:58 GMT

Sam Gulino of The Sleepless Reader wrote his first article about music played on this show. Sam chose to write about combatwoundedveteran, a timely choice, as well as a quite challenging one. For an example of how fucking amazing this guy is at describing music, check this shit out:

"I realize that it can be hard to make your way through the pained screams, wailing guitar, and random drumbeats, but only if you try to listen to it the way you would listen to what most of us think of as a "song"...something with a regular beat and a melody. You can no more listen to CWV's music with that mindset than you can look at Pollock's paintings the same way you would look at the Mona Lisa. Look at Pollock's painting Convergence and tell me what the white splotch top center means. Now listen to a CWV track and tell me what the lyrics mean."

This guy is fuckin' amazing, and there's a lot more where that came from. Read the entire in-depth analysis here.

This partnership between TSR and TNP will continue, so keep on the lookout for future updates!

Alright. The wonderful StatCounter system has informed me that multiple people have searched google for "acousticore mp3." I'm kinda freaked out. Y'all get that it's a joke, right?

But if you SERIOUSLY want a copy of that song, I can send it to ya. Send me an email about it.

Comment Line!

denbez@gmail.com — Sun, 13 Mar 2005 03:51:27 GMT

As part of my crusade to be just like every other podcaster out there, I've gone and gotten myself a Seattle-based audio comment line. If you don't live in Seattle, you might want to use your cellie so you don't get blasted on your phone bill.

Call in and say whatever you like. Plug your podcast, propose a topic for me, say something funny, basically do anything that makes me do less work.

The line is 206-984-9893. Call it. Seriously. Please. I promise I'll play your comments on the show no matter what you say.

If you wanna get your own comment line for your own podcast, it's free, and you can set it up at k7.net.

Good News!

denbez@gmail.com — Mon, 21 Feb 2005 19:25:00 GMT

Aight, the site is all fixed up. Look at that beautiful sidebar!

News!

denbez@gmail.com — Sat, 19 Feb 2005 23:38:00 GMT

The Tragically Nameless Podcast will, from this day forth, be a bi-weekly podcast. That's right, two shows a week.

The show will probably come out on Wednesday and Sunday, although it might very well pull a Tuesday or a Saturday or a Friday.

One show in the middle of the week and one show on the weekend.

In other news, just as I was bathing in the gloriously simple side-module setup, it exploded. I don't know what happened, but now I have zero side modules and it won't let me access the "blog settings" tab. Wonderful. If you're looking for archived shows, I'm sorry, until I get this fixed you can't access anything that isn't on the front page.

I'll keep ya informed.

Alright, I don't know what was wrong, but I reuploaded the file, and it's the entire show this time.

Sorry for the inconvenience. All you missed were songs by Pedro The Lion and Cub Country, so if they aren't your cup of tea, you can safely skip the seven minutes that were cut off.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHOOOOOOOLYSHIT!

denbez@gmail.com — Tue, 1 Feb 2005 23:05:00 GMT

No Idea Records finally responded to my request for permission to play a few of their bands.

The response was better than I could've ever hoped. After listening extensively to my show, No Idea has decided to grant permission to ALL PODCASTERS to use ALL TRACKS by ALL BANDS on No Idea in ANY nonprofit manner.

Holy Fucking Shit.

Thats two of 'em now.

I just made podcasting history. Twice.

The No Idea Records Showcase episode of The Tragically Nameless podcast will have to be #7. I don't have enough space left on my Libsyn account to post an hour long show.

AWH... SHIT!!!!

denbez@gmail.com — Thu, 27 Jan 2005 02:31:00 GMT

Here's an insight into the world of my podcasting technique: I recorded show #5 today because I absolutely couldn't wait any more. I had the whole show planned out by Monday, the wait was killing me. I'm still tweaking the sound, so it won't be up 'till Friday at the very earliest.

However, in show #5 I mention the fact that I haven't gotten any feedback from people who don't know me personally, J & J excluded. An hour after I finished recording the show, I got an email from a guy who heard about the show from Julien, downloaded all four episodes, and loved it. He gave me helpful advice on what format to use for the show ("whatever you want it to be on the day you record"), and I'm very grateful.

So although I'm not gonna go back and edit the show, this post goes out to Dave Lamb from Greenville, SC.

You rule.

-Deniz

HAPPY!!!!

denbez@gmail.com — Tue, 25 Jan 2005 03:14:00 GMT

I'm totally jazzing on happy right now. Here's why!

Well, that AND Julien's extensive plug on In Over Your Head, spanning two episodes and including an audio comment of mine.

Oh yeah... AND Jason's airtime for my audio comment on Insomnia Radio.

And finally, Jason's wonderful audio comment (which will definetly be played on the next show) is making me jazz on happy.

I know all this "thanking everyone all the time" routine is gonna get old quick, but I'm SO overwhelmingly grateful to the big J & J.

Who the fuck needs drugs when you've got this kind of happy?

#4: Music'n'Rants with Brian Robinson

denbez@gmail.com — Sun, 23 Jan 2005 19:03:00 GMT

Well, just to throw you guys off, I did an unprofessional music-based show with interviews and political rants. Hope you enjoy it as much as the last show.

I didn't stress the importance of sending me feedback in this show, but feedback for this episode is more important than it was in previous shows because it is a fundamentally different style than previous shows. So tell me if you like Brian, tell me if you don't like Brian, and especially tell me if you like the show better with one or two people.

I found one little technical problem in this show. I'm recording with SoundFlower into GarageBand, and it seems to be catching only the left audio of songs. This wreaks havok on songs like "A Line In The Sand" by Q and not U that rely heavily on crisscrossing stereo harmonies. So if you could help me figure out what the problem is, that'd be great.

Yea, I know, this is a couple days early. When I looked at my 250 megs of space, I realized that it's enough to do five shows a month, so here ya go.

This one's a lot talkier. I had a lot on my mind. Show #4 will mark the show's permanent transition into a more music-oriented area.

Anyway.

I'm sure you were all completely mystified by the SPINNING BELT BUCKLE comment in the first episode. Unless you're as freakishly into DDR as Kel. Just to shed a little light on the subject, check these out:

DDR Vid 2

If you don't want to sit through the DDRing, skip to the end of those videos. The stupid comments they make whilst celebrating are what the reference was to.

I think the fact that me and Kel enjoyed that heartily is a tribute to our geekery. And sleep deprivation.

#1: Ramblins with Kel Gahagan

denbez@gmail.com — Wed, 12 Jan 2005 03:39:00 GMT

First, you should just know, this is not my regular blog. If you really want to hear random tidbits about my life, read my livejournal. I don't see why you would want to, but if you're a read-blogs-of-people-you-don't-know kinda dude, that's the link. This blog is only for production notes and show-related news.

This is my first cast, and it's guest-co-hosted by Kel Gahagan. If you like him and want him on the show again, tell me. If you think he was awful, tell me and I won't bring him back. This early in the show, I'm relying entirely on feedback to tell if something's good or not. So post lots of comments here, or email me if you feel with it. All show-related email should have TNP in the subject line.

In case you don't want to actually listen to this show, or want to know what it's about, here's a summary:

-Nebraska sucks

-I'm way too young to do a podcast

-Video games are fun

-It's boring to listen to people talk about shit you don't care about.

-Speech meets are REALLY boring

-So are show stories

-Local music rules

If you don't like the talking, listen to the music. If you don't like the music, listen to the talking. If you don't like either, fuck off. But only after sending me emails and leaving me comments about how I can make the show better.
