Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
How about a drum & bass combo with a real drummer and
a real bass player
but they rock out and the bass playing sounds like
Lemmy?
That's what you get with
Death From Above 1979:
a bass player and a drummer who sings
(with the occasional synth thrown in for texture).
That's the band, folks.
Speaking of minimalism, the singing reminds me of Jack White
when he's really rocking but with even more energy.
The sound is different, it's noisy, it's modern, but it really works at times
on their debut album,
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine.
Check out
Turn It Out
and
Little Girl.
