The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Q and Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep
Q and Not U - Different Damage
I landed an interview with Q and Not U on Feb. 16, so I've been doing a lot of research, hence listening to their LPs over and over again!!

Q & Not U will be a fun interview. John Davis (the drummer) is a great guy and a great writer. He ran Held Like Sound, easily the best D.C. zine, for several years. Make sure to ask why Mathieu left the band (age was a big reason, from what I've heard; also, they just didn't like him very much). Ask if they feel that the D.C. scene is lacking these days (which, aside from a small but growing post-punk scene it is), although that's a trite question with a way-too-obvious answer that I doubt they will give (since they must defend their territory!!!). Most of all, be relaxed. They seem like they take themselves very seriously (which, being veterans they do to some extent), but they are fun-loving folk (another good question would be why the drop in mood and tone on Different Damage). Who is the interview for?
Oh, one other disc for today:
Adult. -- Anxiety Always

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall
Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun
Whiskeytown - Pneumonia
George Winston - December
So, Yancey, how do you like Elephant? I'm not a huge White Stripes fan, but it seems to me that we'll be bombarded with Elephant-related discussions for the next 4-5 months, so I thought at least I could steal someone else's opinion.
Which reminds me of a cartoon I recently read in the New Yorker magazine. Two couples are sitting around a table in some bar or restaurant, and one of the men, obviously piqued, is saying to what must be his wife/girlfriend, "That's not just my opinion, it's also the opinion of some guy on NPR."
OK, I laughed out loud.
You may now continue talking about music.

Elephant is really, really great. Their best so far, based on a few listens. The aesthetic is similar, but Jack White's songwriting ability has improved greatly. There's a tune where Meg sings lede, which is really gorgeous. I was already a fan, mind you, so take that into consideration.
The new Adult. (also out in April), on the other hand, is really awful. A few good electro cuts, but the duo's gone for a more violent style and falls on its face.

I have a friend that is in a band being distributed by Dischord (the band is called Paper Dolls - an all girl indie quartet from DC), that has met them and she says they are really nice guys. I'm feeling pretty confident about it; I've been doing a lot of research ever since I got the email from John (the drummer) last night. If I keep going at this pace I'll probably churn out some pretty good questions.
And actually, I'm doing the interview for my own independent zine. I'm good friends with the girl that does booking for the college, so I asked her if there was anyway she could hook me up with an interview. She said that I didn't need her help, just email John (I assume that's who she talked to) and ask him directly. I kicked him a letter saying what I was doing and asking permission, and he replied the next night saying that an interview would be fine.
I also got some more cd reviews today:
1. Massive Attack - 100th Window
2. Aereogramme - Sleep and Release
3. Other Natural Flavors - Drop the World
4. White Light Motorcade - Thank You, Goodnight!
5. Soundtrack Mind - Plastic Dreams
I'm really looking forward to Massive Attack and Aereogramme.

Starlover,
I'm glad to see another Cure fan on this forum. I'm actually going to be trading some live Cure cd's with a friend of mine this week. I'm giving her the Texas Stadium show from the Wish tour and the Austin show from the WMS tour. She's giving me a copy of the Hamburg Trilogy show from last year. I can't wait for the DVD to come out in May.

*Granted, their old subject matter -- furniture, the joys of commerce, etc. -- doesn't exactly lend itself to venting yr spleen.

Until I heard the album, I thought they should've stopped after the first or second EP; they seemed to be doing the same thing over and over. And, until now, they had always been a band that I merely respected. That's all changed now.
