Quick before the month is over, let’s stop and look back and reflect on on what we were listening to one year ago.

I must say it feels weird posting a live WOXY track the day after they stopped live broadcasting. There must be something we can do to bring back live broadcasts to WOXY. Let’s get on that, ok?

Oh, this is the March 2009 Mix. Listen.

Peter Berkman of the 8bitrockandroll outfit Anamanaguchi sent us these here answers for the latest q and also a.

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

a: Literally the last song I heard was Graveyard Girl (mp3) by M83, makes me all teary/nostalgic every time. Love it!

q: What is your favorite food?

a: Pizza without a doubt. Pretty much the only reason that I live in NYC, it’s part of my quest to live out the lifestyle of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: So many great bands playing live today, but I’d have to say at least recently, this band Peelander Z from Japan is my current favorite. We played with them at Santos Party House and they blew us away! The bass player came out on stage in a red squid costume, and they played some true high energy punk rock. They won an unsuspecting crowd over in seconds. Audience members playing instruments, human bowling, conga lines, furiously shouting unintelligible English through a thick Japanese accent, Peelander Z is not to be missed.

Listen: Ninja-High Schooool (mp3)

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: In Manhattan I’d say Santos Party House; Brooklyn, Death By Audio. Both places treat artists and the audience with 100% gratitude, and are just great environments to see a show. There’s no bullshit at either place which is REALLY (and I mean really) refreshing in an NYC venue.

q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?

a: All monies will be hereby granted to director/producer/writer/movie star Tommy Wiseau to finance his multi-million dollar followup projects to his epic film, The Room. If that doesn’t work out, I think it’s about time that Andrew WK and Fred Willard get their own talk show.

Watch:
Nardwuar vs. Andrew W.K. (youtube)
Fred Willard joke about blind prostitutes on Letterman (youtube)

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

a: We have so many projects coming up! First off, there is the 8-Bit Alliance Tour this March – we’re touring with our friends Starscream from NYC and some UK friends Sabrepulse and Henry Homesweet. The common thread that ties it all together is that we’re all ‘8-bit artists,’ but we’re all also young and try not to tie ourselves down to just the 8-bit world. We want to use this tour as a way to welcome in a new audience who maybe has no idea what the hell this kinda music is.

Listen:
Future, and It Doesn’t Work (mp3) by Starscream
Cityscape Dreams (mp3) by Sabrepulse
Tragic But Magic (mp3) by Henry Homesweet

Look:

We also have tons of NEW MUSIC to be released soon. One of the projects is top secret, but it’s video game related and it’ll be out this summer. We are SO excited about that one. The other one is NOT secret, it’s a full length album – and it will probably be ready to go by early 2011! We’re writing it right now and it’s the best stuff we’ve ever written!

Starscream present the following answers in our q and also a series…

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

a: Monoliths by Maserati on my way home from class.

q: What is your favorite food?

a: I love food. I’m going to say Pakistan Tea House, place is the best.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead! First time I saw them was at Irving Plaza with The Octopus Project and The Sword. That was before Irving Plaza was bought by The Fillmore and started hosting exclusively bands on reunion tours such as Twisted Sister.

Listen:
Wet Gold (mp3) by The Octopus Project
Fire Lances of the Hyperzephyrians (mp3) by The Sword
Richter Scale Madness (Live) (youtube) by …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: Irving Plaza pre-aforementioned shitty. Most of the good shows I have been to as of late were at Bowery Ballroom, but recently we played at the new Knitting Factory and it kicked ass! Old Knitting Factory was great too.

q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?

a: With self in mind-Anamanaguchi, so we can afford a tour van. But something is compelling me to say Matthew Cooper aka Eluvium even though he seems pretty well off.

Listen:
Power Supply (mp3) by Anamanaguchi
We Say Goodbye to Ourselves (mp3) by Eluvium

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

a: We just released an EP called, The Space Years. It’s a follow up to the concept explored in our 2009 8bitpeoples EP, Future, and It Doesn’t Work. We made about 200 limited edition copies of this EP that come with a homemade book of photography and art by our friends that fits in to the concept; it was our first time ever making a book, that shit was a lot more difficult than thought it would be. The EP is actually only two lengthy songs, each devoted to one term of a fictitious American Presidency set in the future. The whole thing is admittedly ridiculous, but it’s a fun excuse to have ‘cool’ song titles. This year we hope to breakdown and finish a lot of material we’ve been working on to focus in to a full length album.

Listen:
Years (Five – Eight) (mp3)
Where’d You get That Belt (Remix) (mp3)

You can buy The Space Years at the 8 Bit Peoples store.

So this post contains (pretty much) all of my favorite mp3s from 2009. I have not put them in any sort of preferential order. These are sorted by artist in alphabetical order.

- Tullycraft report that The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are gonna be on Carson Daily… here.

In case you haven’t heard, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart are going to appear on Last Call With Carson Daily this Wednesday (April 1st). You may ask yourself: “Is this a good thing? Carson Daily is a tool!” It’s true, Carson Daily is a total tool, and his show is terrible, but you gotta be happy for Mike at Slumberland Records. He’s been fighting the good fight for a long time and he deserves for one of his bands to play on national television.

Here is a handy google search to find the footage when it shows up on youtube. I do not recommend watching it live.
