GIMME TINNITUS

Javelin’s Luaka Bop debut LP, No Mas is coming out real soon. March 6th according to the Luaka Bop web presence.

The album looks like this.

As you may already know, Javelin are avid cratediggers. But instead of sampling some obscure vinyl or cassette they found in the dollar bin, they went and re-recorded the sounds they wanted to use from memory. These are the jamz you have been waiting for. Listen.

Downloadables:
Oh! Centra (mp3)
Vibrationz (mp3)

Pre-order No Mas here or here.

You can get the digital right now from Luaka Bop.

Upcoming Show: March 4 @ Eisner & Lubin Auditorium w/ Man Man and Born Ruffians (Tickets are $7 with NYU ID and $12 with Govt Issued ID)

And now a new feature here at GIMME TINNITUS, q and also a, where I chat/email with bands and they answer some questions. To kick off the feature I met up with Pete from Dinowalrus. Here we go…

q: What is the last song you heard?

a: The hour-long composition E2-E4 by Ash Ra Tempel guitarist, Manuel Göttsching.

Listen: E2-E4 snippet (youtube)

q: What is your favorite food?

a: St Louis style ribs (in particular, the ones at Pappy’s Smoke House).

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: Comets On Fire or Boredoms… a distant 3rd would probably be HEALTH.

Listen: Lets Take it All (mp3) by Comets On Fire

q: What is your favorite NYC venue?

a: We’ve had really great shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg and Dead Herring.

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

a: Excepter.

Listen: Kill People (mp3)

q: Anything we should know about your album, %?

a: The album was “informed by the liberation of moving to NYC in 2006 and finding that, at the time, there was an audience for pretty crazy and mutant music.” DINOWALRUS didn’t know at first whether it would fall into the “indie” scene or the “art noise” scene, though now they have found themselves to be the weirdest band on the indie scene rather than the poppiest band on the noise scene. There were a bunch of especially inspring bands around in 2006 that were “challenging” their listeners to, sonically, go places they had never been before, including Parts & Labor, Dirty Projectors, Psychic Ills, and Gang Gang Dance…and I think our approach was informed by that more than anything else. Ironically, earnest and classic indie rock appears to be all the rage now, and I’ve been pretty bored with that!

Listen:
Fractured Skies (mp3) by Parts & Labor
Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (mp3) by Dirty Projectors
Killers (mp3) by Psychic Ills
Nicoman (mp3) by Gang Gang Dance

“If you are serious about music, when you make an album you have to take 45 years of pop/rock history in account, and I think this album was informed as much by trying to find a unique place in music history as it was by current happenings around town,” and Dinowalrus wanted to put out something that was “mind blowing.” % doesn’t really have “a direct pop sensibility,” but it will “keep on your toes” and “make you feel free.”

So, if you are bored with present form of lofipoppunk that seems to be everywhere now, check out some DINOWALRUS:

Listen:
BEAD (mp3)
Nuke Duke ‘Em (mp3)

In the future, they will probably narrow their focus a bit, and not cram as many ideas into their next album. Pete is currently working on two recording side projects, one is an album of stadium metal and the other one is a baggy Madchester acid house record.

There will be no trek to SXSW this year for Dinowalrus, but they are doing a small mid-Atlantic tour, and a New England tour Plus, they are working on setting up a tour in April of California with Tempo No Tempo. They are playing a show tomorrow (1/30) and also next Thursday (2/4)…

Upcoming Shows:
Jan 30 @ House Of Yes w/ Javelin, The Shivers, Ava Luna, and Shark?
Feb 4 @ Littlefield w/ The Vandelles and The Naked Hearts

If you liked the Nathan Fake remix of Muppet by Grasscut, well then you should listen to the original with the samples of gossiping moms and the Massed Voices of St Helier Choir.

If this short black and white film doesn’t make you want to go see HEALTH in a live setting, I feel sorry for you. The band has dates coming up in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

Now here is the latest from chillwave wunderkind Toro y Moi. I didn’t want to like Toro y Moi at first, but this totally grew on me. What can I say, the guy is talented. Also, if you are in the NYC area you should know that he is playing Brooklyn Bowl with The Ruby Suns on March 26th.

UPDATE: I totally forgot about that EP of reworked The Forms songs that was announced last year. We heard there are a lot of awesome guests on it. Matt Berninger of little band known as The National is one name that was thrown around. I suppose the EP is being meticulously tweaked in the band’s recording studio. I assume the EP will be released this year.

Oh, and I’m sure no one will notice a new release from LCD Soundsystem.

The fine folks at Thrill Jockey sent over a little Javelin streamer, but that thing had some major issues with my stylesheet so I chopped it up into its individual components. Enjoy the hot jamz!
