Wednesday, April 30, 2003 np: the church - heyday First comes this fantastic piece of news from the peer-to-peer wars. The ruling leaves the ownership companies of Grokster and Gnutella in the clear for legal liability over their software. The programs are capable of being used for both legal and illegal things, so the companies themselves aren't responsible if a user decides to break the law. This has put a huge kink in what had seemed like the ongoing march to victory for the record labels of late. It's very similar to a decision in the Netherlands last year which found a similar verdict for the Kazaa company. The music industry has been fighting off its slow deterioration and evolution over the past years, but it slowly seems to be losing the fight in the wake of ever improving programs and technology. The record industry is going to have to change if they want to survive. Chuck D. has been talking this game for years. He's known what's up for some time now. When will Berttlesmann (sp), Sony et. al ever learn? Maybe not 'til we're takin' sledgehammers to the walls of our local FYE, Sam Goody, Virgin, Tower, etc. Ah, what sweet victory that would be. since the bells of work beckon...onward: j's indie/rock mayhem - april 30th 2003 Theme Song - Peaches - "Rock Show" > Lucinda Williams - "Real Live Bleeding Fingers and Broken Guitar Strings" [from her newest, world without tears] Bash and Pop - "Friday Night is Killing Me" [tommy stinson's first band post-replacements. since paul westerberg was a big influence on the making of world without tears, and a catalyst for the lucinda song i played, i thought i'd match it up with some more replacements-esque fare.] the Deathray Davies - "The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower" [great album.] Jets to Brazil - "William Tell Override" [by request. not a bad song. it's from their latest, perfecting lonliness] > Verbena - "Killing Floor (Get Down On It)" [from their newest EP] Wilco - "Outta Mind (Outta Sight)" [from being there. i'm seeing them tomorrow at the orange peel!] Placebo - "The Bitter End" [by request. i would've gotten to placebo eventually, of course, but a caller beat me to it.] Idlewild - "Out of Routine" [these guys are just really good.] > Portastatic - "Drill Me" [from their newest, the summer of the shark] Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - "(Do Not Feed the) Oyster" [by request. from the boys in 731] the Flaming Lips - "Fight Test" [by request. the caller wanted something from the soft bulletin but our copy was long lifted. so i went with something from their more recent yoshimii battles the pink robots.] Wire - "The 15th" [from 154. played the original since i've been playing the fischerspooner cover on my show for some time.] > Blur - "Crazy Beat" [from their new album think tank. read my review in the previous post.] MC Honky - "The Devil Went Down to Silverlake" [new quasi hip-hop cd from a masked E. of the eels.] Cody Chesnutt - "The World is Coming to My Party" [hah. this album rules.] the Minus 5 - "I'm Not Bitter" [i'll never get tired of this song.] > Iris Dement - "The Shores of Jordan" [she's playing tomorrow night in chapel hill. i wish i could go, and was going, until the wilco show popped up.] Toad the Wet Sprocket - "Nanci" [..i'll take nanci. for you loretta's fine.] the Jayhawks - "Tampa to Tulsa" Uncle Tupelo - "Atomic Power" [their rendition of the classic louvin brothers' song. from the march 16-20 1992 re-issue] > Radiohead - "There there." [awesome new song.] Alkaline Trio - "Take Lots with Alcohol" [by request. boring. i don't like this band.] the Stone Roses - "Love Spreads" [made up for a boring song by playing this. heh. i unashamedly stick up for second coming even though i probably shouldn't. i can't help it though. it was the first i heard.] The Posies - "Flavor of the Month" [from frosting on the beater. if i had just thought about it and played REM, i would've covered all the respective vehicles of the recent minus 5 incarnation, having played wilco earlier. well, and if you want to get technical i guess i should've pulled out the young fresh fellows also. but screw that.] > Haley Bonar - "Out of the Lake" [a fantastic album that is getting overlooked by my djs, unfortunately.] Lucinda Williams - "Fruits of My Labor" [normally i don't repeat artists during a show..but i did get a request for this. and she was the first thing i played at the top of six o'clock hour. plus, it was eban requesting. i gotta come through for eban.] the Church - "Tristesse" [from heyday which rules.] the Gun Club - "Ghost on the Highway" [i forgot how much the gun club really blows me away. damn i need this album.] > Mandatory 'Mats - The Replacements - "I.O.U."
