From The Mind Of Adi #21: John Farmer from What Made Milwaukee Famous’ Firsts
Firsts: Sh*te that happened before other sh*te happened.
Today: John Farmer's Firsts! I hope you enjoyed my personal Firsts, James Petralli from White Denim's Firsts, Chris Rose's Firsts, JP from Built By Snow's Firsts, and Lauren Larson from Ume's Firsts. This time, we examine what inspired John Farmer from What Made Milwaukee Famous through the years.
- 1st favorite song: "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard. It was the first song that ever really made me think, "Holy Shit!" Sad to say, it doesn't really kindle those kind of emotions anymore. When it first came out, I was a broke, elementary school kid. I didn't have the money to buy the cassette, so I sat by the TV with my jam box waiting to record it on MTV. I probably rocked out to that crappy recording for six months before I got it for Christmas.

HOT OFF THE PRESS – Blackout Beach’s Skin of Evil
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 Deerhunter, TV on the Radio, M. Ward, Deerhoof, Juana Molina, Crystal Stilts, White Denim, and Grizzly Bear.
Released on January 27 on Soft Abuse
Report Card: B+
In regards to sanity, Carey Mercer could go either way. The prophetic declarations of times past that mark much of his work have established his position as heir to the throne of Scott Walker and Current 93’s David Tibet—like those men, he breaks many of the unwritten rules about how to be a successful vocalist, while also lending a healthy push to the question of whether the guy in charge is a genius or merely a madman. And while Mercer seems a little reined in by the full band nature of his primary project, Frog Eyes, and even more tempered by Swan Lake (the super group à la eccentric of Mercer, Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown and Wolf Parade, and Dan Bejar of Destroyer and The New Pornographers), his Blackout Beach project gives him the opportunity to go, without checks and balances, absolutely apeshit.

HOT OFF THE PRESS – Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion
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
Deerhunter, TV on the Radio, M. Ward, Deerhoof, Juana Molina, Crystal
Stilts, White Denim, and Grizzly Bear.
released on disc January 20 on Domino
Report Card: F (no, just kidding. It’s an A)
Over
the past couple weeks it’s become increasingly more difficult to
discuss with any semblance of sense the latest release from Animal
Collective. After all, an album this grossly anticipated doesn’t come
along very often, and with such praise upon its arrival (influential
music blog Stereogum had this as a headline: “Is Merriweather Post Pavilion the Best Album of 2009”—and they ran that headline with 360 days
remaining in the year. Secondly, manytime stick-in-the-mud Pitchfork
Media proclaimed the album a 9.6 on a 10 point scale). Taking all that
into account, plus the innate complexity of Animal Collective’s kitchen
sink musical approach, the album seemed destined to receive little more
than exaltations of brilliance and accusations of blasphemy against the
few who dared to naysay. And while not enough time has passed to truly
put the work into perspective—I’d suggest it has a ways to go before we
put it up against the likes of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea in
a bracket for greatest indie album of the last quarter-century—enough
time has passed for the initial sheen to wear off, thus leaving Merriweather Post Pavilion ready for the type of constructive criticism it seemed incapable of
receiving when most everyone was busy tripping over themselves to
proclaim the album far more important than peace in the middle east.
