End of Year List

EENC Blog would just like to wish everyone a safe, and happy New Year.

And now, a brief tip of the cap to the things we loved this year...in no particular order.

In the land of "Ear Candy", here's a few things we quite loved...

We Were Promised Jetpacks - "These Four Walls"
These laddies from Glasgow made all those who loved Jawbreaker, were too ashamed to tell anyone they liked at least one Killers song, and those who despised the Airborne Toxic Event jump for joy. Check out "Moving Clocks Run Slow" below.

Jay-Z - "The Blueprint 3"

We just can't get enough of Sean Carter and his love for the NYC. While many fans prefer the Jay of old, and the fact that there are some holes in this album that leave more to be desired, we still can't help but dig when he delivers on this record. The fact that he dragged his wife, "BK", to indie rock festivals also won our hearts. Plus, this great Rhapsody commercial appeases to the days of yesteryear. Check out the anthemic "On to the Next One" below.



"On to the Next One" by Jay-Z

Also notable:
Blackroc, The Horrors, Dead Man's Bones, The Handsome Furs, Sunset Rubdown, Sunny Day Real Estate Reunion Tour, The Get Up Kids reunion shows, Camera Obscura, Thorns of Life live bootleg, Coconut Records.


Here's some "Eye Candy" we liked this year:

"500 Days (of Summer)"
Given the director's track record of terrible music videos, how much we dislike Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and what has become Zooey Deschanel's obligatory singing of a song in each movie she appears in, this one registered high on our list. The awkwardness of a male attempt at "chercher la femme" made this one entertaining in the realm of romantic comedies.


"The Hangover"
What more could you ask for, with the talented and funny Ed Helms, the always hilarious Zach Galifianakis, and Bradley Cooper as the guy who just looks like a dick? For Zach, the added dimension of weirdness in his character sets this role apart from his past cinema bombs...i.e. "Out Cold". Our favorite quotable from Zach' "They gave out rings at the Holocaust?"


"Inglourious Basterds"
We haven't been staying up to speed on Quentin Tarantino's kung fu or double feature gore fest rip offs, so this remake was quite a refreshing surprise. A great cast, headed up by Eli Roth and Brad Pitt, makes us wish this over the top exploit was how the war really turned out. An affinity for Hogan's Heroes doesn't hurt either.


Also notable: Bored To Death, Paper Heart, Ballast, Sin Nombre, The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Medium-Fi


Is there such a thing as Medium-Fi? Here's a track from the forthcoming self-titled Broken Bells record, which is comprised of DJ Dangermouse and Shins frontman James Mercer. Seems like the collaboration from the ceased and desisted "Dark Night Of The Soul" record , left some unfinished business between these two. The album takes all of The Shins' great pop sensibilities, which then becomes mastered by Dangermouse's supreme ear for the sublime. To me, listening to this self titled release is like driving through a late night desert with the top down, while being possessed by Roy Orbison, then taking a detour into an alternate galaxy, all while listening to a Gary Numan record.

This album won't see the light of day until March 9th, but you can pre-order it from Amazon HERE. Listen to the very fitting "The Mall & The Misery", dedicated to all those who waited til the last second this year.

BK Trip


Here's a track from the wonderfully psychedelic, Yeasayer. Its a song from their forthcoming album titled "Odd Blood". The Brooklyn-ites recently signed to the also wonderful, Secretly Canadian record label. The album will be released on February 9th, 2010.

This highly anticipated record highlights the band's continued progression into a more accessible brand of odd melodies and spaced out euphoria, much like the mainstream success of Animal Collective. Check out "Madder Red" below. Visit Secretly Canadian's official site HERE, for more album information.

Dinner with Les Savy Fav!


Just a head's up to all of you who can still afford premium channels, IFC's "Dinner With The Band" will feature Les Savy Fav tonight! Check out the official IFC site HERE. Previous guests with Chef Sam Mason include Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. Great music and delicious, easy to make recipes. Word on the street is Les Savy Fav will be performing an oldie, and favorite of mine, "Rome" on tonight's episode. I really like the idea of the show, but it makes me think of this wonderful blog.

Check out the befitting "Pots & Pans" below. If you don't have IFC, check out a video of the performance below.

Week of Nepotism


Nepotism is only bad in our book, if you are a Bush Twin, Kardashian, or your boss' kids. Here's a track from Serge Gainsbourg's daughter, Charlotte. Her new album is titled "IRM". The album is co-written and produced by L.A.'s own Beck Hansen. The album showcase's Gainsbourg's eclectic style, as well as Beck's influence in the studio. Check out "Me and Jane Doe" below. You can pre-order the album before the January 26th release date HERE.

What is it good for?

Here's two tracks in the aftermath of President Obama's speech last night, calling for an increase in troops in Afghanistan. Didn't we win all those wars already? We had that big ceremony where W dressed like an action figure, on top of that destroyer, all those years ago. Looks like more fodder for Glenn Beck and company.

Check out the first track "Intro", from The XX, featuring Jimmy Jams of Brother Reade on vocals of this remix, in reference to World Wars Three and Four. I can't stress how lucky the city of L.A. is to be blessed with Brother Reade.

And lastly, here's a track from the pride of Hoboken, New Jersey's Yo La Tengo. Its a cover of a Sun Ra track, titled "Nuclear War". I read some time ago that the band members coerced their nieces and nephews to help record this track, without telling their parents of the obscenities involved. There's something refreshing about hearing a chorus of kids chant, "It's a motherfucker!". Give a peep to the track below.

Beach House + Extended Ticket Giveaway!

Here's a track from Beach House's forthcoming record, "Teen Dream", to be released by the oh so wonderful Sub Pop Records, their new label. You can pre-order the album and accompanying DVD from Insound HERE, prior to the January 26th release date.

I've been hearing "Norway" played relentlessly at bars and clubs around town lately. And for good reason, "Teen Dream" is what many are anticipating as Beach House's breakthrough, more mainstream success record. They've created a highly lush, dreamscape in the collection of songs that comprise this album. Check out "Walk In The Park" below. Who knew such dreamy sounds could come from Maryland?

More Beck Covers, and Spaceland on WEDNESDAY Night!

After covering The Velvet Underground, Beck Hansen takes on another large undertaking of work, in the latest installment of his 'Record Club' series, this time covering Leonard Cohen.

I will always stand firm in my belief of where cover songs stand. Unless they are truly "re-imagined" by the covering artist, the original will always reign supreme. Check out "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" by Beck below.

I also wanted to mention Samuel Stewart's show at Spaceland Wednesday night, for Club NME. We're giving away two free tickets! Just email us at eareyenosecandyblog@gmail.com, for your chance to see him live. His live performance is surely worth checking out.

I had the pleasure of seeing his exclusive performance at Origami Vinyl in Echo Park a few weekends ago. Although it was a brief set, it certainly was an intimate and enjoyable one. If you're expecting the offspring of a famous musician to be Kardashian-like and spoiled, Stewart is not your man. Tiny in stature, his sound is quite large. Fans of The Decemberists should see him live. Check out "Devil Music" below. Visit the Facebook event page HERE.

Live PB & J


Saturday night marked the 10th "birthday" of the inception of Peter, Bjorn, and John as a band. They celebrated this achievement by concluding their tour at Club Nokia. The set list provided crowd favorites from their latest "Living Thing" as well as 2007's break out record, "Writer's Block".

Highlights of the night included Los Angeles, via Cincinnati, musician Boom Bip joining the boys on the bongo drums for a rendition of "Young Folks", which also included Lykke Li on guest female vocals. The "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" adopted theme of "Nothing to Worry About" was impressively backed by a chorus of ladies, that the boys seemingly referred to as "The Los Angeles Women's Choir". Seemed like I lost something in the translation, as these ladies were probably more specific to a chapter in our fair city.

I always like catching the last night of tours. It feels like the last day of class, or watching your friend graduate or get out of jail. Saturday night was no exception. After the show, the band graciously hung out at the merch table to autograph items for their adoring fans. A great wrap up, to a great "birthday" tour.

Check out "Sitar Folks" below, as well as some photos from Saturday's show.

Proper L.A.

Just wanted everyone in L.A. looking for a to do this Thursday night, to check out a great show, from London-Transplant, now L.A. inhabitant Samuel Stewart. He is the offspring of Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. Fans of The Decemberists and The Thermals should check out this British Import. See show flyer below, and give a listen to "The Beginner". You can also check out Samuel Stewart's MySpace page HERE. Stewart will be playing at Spaceland and The Silverlake Lounge next month.

A little side story about the offspring of famous musicians: A few years ago, I was privileged to see The Police on their reunion tour, with front row seats. Opening for them, was Sting's son's band...let's just say he had to endure drunken berating about how it probably took Sting several hours to produce what was now onstage playing severely bad prog rock. From the sounds of Samuel Stewart's EP, he will not be subject to the same fate.

Also, here's a track from the highly anticipated, forthcoming Vampire Weekend record, "Contra". Check out "Cousins" below. We're quite positive it is not a reference to the late 80's movie starring Ted Danson, with the same name. "Contra" has a January 12th, 2010 release date. You can pre-order the album HERE.

Never too late.

Here's a track that's been getting a lot of mileage for me lately, from The Joy Formidable. Their album "A Balloon Called Moaning" was released in January of this year. I'm a little late to the dance, in my appreciation of this record. Check out "Cradle" below. Fans of Asobi Seksu and Pretty Girls Make Graves should fall for this one.

This Is What It Feels Like When Love Cries


(Kieran Hebden presumably checking his Facebook page onstage?)

Here's the new single from Kieran Hebden's Four Tet moniker. I've always felt that anything he remixes turns instantly into gold, but the body of his own work has been a mainstay of originality in electronic style music for 6+ album releases. "Love Cry" is a nine minute, sleek sound-scape of dance, that shows how relevant and fresh Kieran's creativity remains.

Devendra Banhart's music has always had the effect of the first signs of a bright, golden morning on me. This lovable, Natalie Portman courting hippie has always had a special place in my musical heart. His latest offering, "What Will We Be?" offers another slice of that Ravi Shankar/Cat Stevens inflected pie. You can pre-order the record on the heels of tomorrow's release date HERE.

I took my now wife, then girlfriend, to see the Canadian duo at the Orpheum Theater in downtown LA about two years ago. We had seats two rows from the front of the stage, dead center. While I was the lone male in the sea of the femme mafia that graces their shows, it was easily one of the best shows I've been to, for so many reasons. Guilty pleasures be damned, I like these two.

Twilight Day Real Estate

First off, check out a track from the soundtrack of that wildly popular Vampire movie with the girl from Panic Room, who is older now, and always looks 'shoe-gazey', and is always doing the angst, tussle with my hair, thing. The track is titled "Friends", by Band of Skulls. The soundtrack also features songs from Thom Yorke, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Grizzly Bear, and Sea Wolf. You can preorder the album HERE, before the October 20th release date, courtesy of Chop Shop.

Also last night, Sunny Day Real Estate graced Los Angeles, by playing a show at the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood. They sounded quite tight, dusting off a setlist comprised of a lot of "Diary" and "LP2", which made me pretty happy. Also, The Jealous Sound did a quite admirable job opening up, with the help of Coco B's drummer, and buddy of this blog, Bob Penn. A great show for those who felt like reminiscing.

Anyone seen the Zooey Deschanel commercial for Cotton? Yes, Cotton...the fabric. I just can't get into her music career. I think she looks incredibly great in this commercial though...so great in fact, that this Cotton commercial made me briefly forget about slavery! See for yourself below.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to mention the ongoing devastation in The Philippines. As a native Filipino, the images have hit home for me. We've seen what can happen with an ill prepared government during Katrina. This is several times worse, with a third world population. The economic times in our own country are the hardest we've seen in many years. But if you're able to, I plead with you to make a donation through Ebay HERE.

Here's another track from the forthcoming "Where The Wild Things Are" motion picture soundtrack, courtesy of Karen O & The Kids. The film is set to open in a few weeks, on October 16th. Visit the movie's official site HERE. Check out "Worried Shoes" below, which we hear is a Daniel Johnston cover. Assumption that Spike Jonze & Karen O's breakup remains amicable, is further fueled by the full soundtrack, which is available for order and release tomorrow. More info at Amazon HERE.

On a side note, I'm incredibly excited to see this movie. My ADHD addled childhood prevented me from actually reading this book. Also, I'm that guy with lots of books on his bookcase, that was mostly an illusion used to impress women when I was younger, and to make them think I read a lot of books. It also took me many years to actually finish "On The Road"...probably as long as it took Jack K. to actually write it.
