The Friday MP3 Shuffle #138

The computer on which I store all of my shit died yesterday and has been handed to a crack team of experts for reanimation. Until they've frankensteined it and handed it back to me there will be no updates around here.

This post had luckily already been prepared two days ago and I'm being a naughty boy by posting this from work. Just so you know the kind of danger I'm putting myself in right now to provide you people with quality music for the weekend.

Livin' on the edge, baby. Oh yeah.

So make sure to enjoy this week's mix, it's surely good enough to last you a while. And during this downtime, why not take the chance to explore things posted here in the past. Browse through the archives and you might find something you like.

Until Zombieputer rises from the grave and makes its triumphant return, here's MP3 Shuffle #138. Look at track number nine. See what I did there? I'm fucking smart.

Songs That Get My Juices Flowing #156 + some thoughts on the Best Album of 2011

Work on the Best Album of 2011 list has entered phase two and things are in high gear. It's a rough-ass job, but someone has to do it. And it might as well be me, just to make sure everything is in order.

Not quite sure yet if I'll make it a top 25 like in 2008 or a top 30 like in 2009. Probably a top 25. Or perhaps a top 30. Not sure.

Back in May I posted a compilation of my favorite stuff of 2011 up to that point. You can download it here and notice how I said that "most of these are likely to be included when time comes to sum up the best albums of the year"? That's not true, it turns out. Without going into detail I can tell you that not many of the bands included in that compilation will make it to the final top 25. Or top 30. Not sure. Which will be included and which ones get the shaft? Only time will tell.

That's a damn fine compilation of stuff though, and the fact that most of it won't make it onto the top 25 (or top 30, not sure) only goes to show how amazing this year in music has been. But then again, every year has loads of amazing releases if you just bother to look hard enough. To think there are those who complain that just isn't any good new music these days. Ignore such douchenozzles.

Here's some songs that do indeed get my juices flowing. Including one from Year of the Goat, whose Lucem Ferre is definitely one of the very finest releases of 2011. Though you won't see it on my top 25 (or top 30, not sure), as it's an EP and not an album.

In addition to that you also get more from the incredible Siena Root (a big favorite on this blog) and a song by Coca Carola which I must have listened to hundreds of time back in high school. Just couldn't get enough of that fucker.

Books You Should Read: "The Jerusalem Syndrome" by Marc Maron

Readers of this blog may have noticed I'm a fan of Marc Maron. I've followed his career ever since I first saw him as a guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien 10+ years ago, and listen to his podcast WTF religiously. Pun intended, which brings us to the topic at hand.

The Jerusalem Syndrome: My Life As A Reluctant Messiah (which started as a one-man show in 2000 and became a book in 2001) follows Marc on a spiritual journey during which he basically tries to find the meaning of life. Only 194 pages and consistently entertaining, this is a quick and enjoyable read.

In fact, this one and Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club are the only books I've read front to back in one sitting.

Union Carbide Productions - "Only The Best" (2003)

(This is repost from three years ago. It's awesome.)

Union Carbide Production was a hellraising group of young men from Gothenburg, Sweden who quickly became known as the roudiest bunch in town, both for the chaotic live shows, but also for their arrogant attitude.

Early U.C.P. may have sounded a lot like The Stooges, but these were no thugs, junkies and petty criminals from Ann Arbor. These were snotty upper class kids with money to burn, straight outta da fancy suburban neighbourhoods. They would talk in interviews about how much they loved playing tennis, wearing designer clothers, driving expensive cars their parents bought for them, and working on their tan by the pool. And how they only played rock 'n' roll because their decadent, privileged lives were boring.

Throughout the gigs, frontman Ebbot Lundberg would insult the audience, especially during shows in America where he would spend more time talking about how fat and disgusting everyone was than actually singing. Wherever they went they got on everybody's nerve, just as intended.

It's interesting how punk rock was supposed to be provocative and against the grain, but once you provoke the punks and the rockers themselves and go against their grain, they hate you for it. When they really should appreciate it for truly living up to the punk ethos. When punk and its aesthetics become generic and evolve into little more than rules you must follow in order to be punk, that's the moment the polar opposite becomes punk.

That's when you need spoiled rich kids telling crusty drunks with a mohawk living in a dumpster just how filthy and useless they are. Those who don't get that, don't know what punk was supposed to be in the first place. Those are people destined for a life in their very own kind of conformity, believing themselves to be rebels.

U.C.P. knew this however, and stopped playing raunchy Stooges rock the moment they realised that's what people expected them to do. Instead they mellowed out and adopted darker and more psychedelic influences on the 2nd album, and by the third one they were downright bluesy and Rolling Stones-y.

After recording their fourth album in Chicago with Steve Albini (during which time they got a fan letter from Kurt Cobain), U.C.P. called it quits in 1993. Several members, including Ebbot Lundberg, would go on to form The Soundtrack Of Our Lives.

In 2003 I whipped up this little compilation of my favorite U.C.P. songs.

Ako se ima na umu koliko je predmet filma složen i komplikovan, može se reći da su u sat i po trajanja sa solidnim uspehom smestili osnovne biografske podatke, predstavili njegov život i rad, uz kratke osvrte na najbitnije priče i romane i uz ćaskanje sa nekim uglavnom relevantnim poštovaocima, proučavaocima i nastavljačima.

Not much bloggage over the weekend as I've come down with yet another deadly man-cold. I think this might be the one. Say a prayer.

I've also been busy with preliminary work on my Best of 2011 list. Yeah, there's still couple of months to go, but you can't take these sort of things lightly. At the moment I'm having trouble narrowing it down to 30 albums, and I dare not even think of the albums that are yet to be released that I may need to make room for. Oh well.

Here's some Marc Maron:
