q and also a :: Motico

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Matt & Chris of Motico sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of q and also a.

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

m: If This Gun Were Real (I Could Shoot You and Sleep in the Big Bed with Mommy) (no mp3, sorry) by Mr. Anus and Mr. Horribly-Charred Infant a/k/a Happy Flowers

c: Dick Move (mp3) by Cobretti

q: What is your favorite food?

m: Gummi worms

c: Baba Ganouj from Sahadi’s

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: Between us probably Shellac. Or USAISAMONSTER but they are now sadly defunct.

Listen: Copper (mp3) by Shellac

Listen: Watch Song (mp3) by Shellac

Listen: Riff Scientist (mp3) by USAISAMONSTER

Listen: Cocaine Wedding (mp3) by USAISAMONSTER

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

a: Market Hotel, it’s too big, but how often do you get to say that about a new york venue?
(Update: Our beloved Market Hotel is closed. Which either makes our mention of it lame or prophetic. I can’t think of any place that supersedes it yet, though, so I guess we’ll stand on it.)

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

a: The Builders Association, a really cool non-profit theatre company based in NYC.

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

a: Our first full length album is coming soon, which we’re pretty excited about. It’s our best work so far. We’ve written a lot of songs and most of the best one’s are on this album. There will be vinyl involved. We can’t wait for you to hear it.

Here is a track from said new album, Misuser.

Listen: Fort Awesome (mp3)

Here is an older demo.

Listen: Electronic Detective (mp3)

And here is the A-side to the Gotta Be In It To Win It 7 Inch (back from the three piece days).

Listen: Gotta Be In It To Win It (mp3)

I will be sure to post some purchasing options when they become available.

If figure there maybe one or possibly two songs that will get listed at the very end of the year so I am holding a couple spaces just in case there is anything totally fucking amazing that comes out between now and then.

Best Of The Aughts

mp3s :: Best Songs Of The Aughts > 2000-2004

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Welcome to part one of GIMME TINNITUS’ Best Songs Of The Aughts where we look back on the best songs of 2000-2004.

Back when all the “best of the decade” whoopla started earlier this year (with Pitchfork’s Best Of), I began thinking about the songs I would have blogged about had I actually been blogging (or let’s say posting about music on an angelfire page) way back in 2000. I sifted through many tracks to come up with this list, and I hope it helps you reconnect with some tracks you may have forgotten or better yet connect with something you may have missed.

The blog-o-sphere has been in a “best of the decade” craze of late, with all kinds of lists… here and here and here and here and here and here and here. There is even an aggregated page over at largehearted boy specifically for the topic.
