Monday Transmissions - Halloween Edition

In all honesty, I never really get down on the Halloween vibe. Never been one for dressing up in costumes, not a big fan of candy, never really liked scary movies (except The Gate – love that one). I know. I’m such a sourpuss, thanks. A lot of people do seem to dig Halloween though and they get all sorts of excited when it falls on a weekend. Never one to let my own misgivings about the holiday get in the way of a good time (when do I ever let ANYTHING get in the way of a good time, really), here’s your special, Halloween edition of Monday Transmissions. On Thursday (it’s been a busy week – sue me).



Thursday: What’s Halloween without a metal show – Red7 apparently doesn’t know and that’s why Thursday you can see Vows in Ashes, Havoc Dose, Manifestation and Self-Induced Pain. Not so scary – Pocketful of Deng, Goodnight Goddess and Fatback Circus inside. As expected, costumes are encouraged. And let’s hope A Pocketful of Deng dress up like the droogs in A Clockwork Orange – that is where they got their name from after all. Wouldn’t that be clever.

HOT OFF THE PRESS (#17) – Alexis Taylor & Max Richter


It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time for Nick Courtright’s weekly first glance at music discovered in the last seven days, whether it be just-released, just-leaked, or some long-lost gem that has remained under the radar.  Click here for other recent editions of Hot Off the Press, featuring acts such as TV on the Radio, Deerhoof, Cold War Kids, of Montreal, Juana Molina, Crystal Stilts, Final Fantasy, Peter Bjorn & John, White Denim, and Grizzly Bear.

Alexis Taylor – Rubbed Out

released on October 21 on Treader
Report Card: B-

Ohmygodhotchiphotchiphotchip.  If that’s your immediate reaction upon hearing that Hot Chip frontman and oft-dynamo Alexis Taylor is releasing an under-the-radar solo album, then you’re going to have to prepare yourself for a somewhat muted response to Rubbed Out.  Because while this little disc sure enough features the familiar vocals of one of music’s best pairs of nerd-glasses, there’s also a reason it’s not a widely publicized side project a la Department of Eagles or Megapuss, and the fact it’s barely making a dent in the musical landscape of Hot Chip’s widespread and adoring international fanbase is not without rationale.  And that rationale is as follows: of Rubbed Out’s fifteen tracks, maybe five or six are fully realized enough to draw in a listener, while the rest feel like the unfinished recordings of a regularly-brilliant musician far too busy with his other projects to give sufficient time to this one.
