Lo que escucha Lou Barlow en su iPod
AVC: What makes for a “good iTunes night”?
LB: Well, like actually right before this, it was flowing really well, it was going from Moose into Ride, and the ’60s stuff. There are some times where it moves according to a logic, you know? But there are certain things on my iPod when they pop up that I’m like, “I gotta get rid of that!” It’s too loud.
Es casi un súper héroe indie. Querido y respetado por su feligresía [eso nos incluye, por supuesto], hace unos días Lou Barlow fue consultado por el portal A.V. Club para que les cuente qué era lo que estaba escuchando en su iPod. El ex-Sebadoh nos confiesa, entre otras cosas, su gusto por la música de los 60’s y su interés particular por la música turca [¡¿¡¿?!?!]. Algunos de los temas presentados por el buen Lou eran nombres nuevos para nuestros oídos, así que, curiosos como somos aquí en Manzarock, los conseguimos y se los dejamos a su disposición. Es una buena selección.
Acá su shuffle:

I’m surprised this is even labeled. A lot of these are untitled, unknown. I just hoard stuff. And some of the stuff I get—I would have to enter all the names into it, and I just don’t bother to do that. And if I like it, then I’ll star them later or try to figure out what it is.

The Music Machine is my favorite rock band ever. This is one of those things—visually, when you see them, it’s like, “What the fuck?” They all wore black, they all had Beatles haircuts, but they dyed it black. And they all wore one black leather glove. [...] And they play so well, too. That’s the other thing. It’s so heavy for the time, heavier than The Beatles, heavier than The Stones. Every song has that feel that “Helter Skelter” has, but it’s just like one band, and all the songs kind of sound that way.

They were a two-man band from the late ’60s, in New York. One guy played synthesizers and the other guy played drums. Have you heard them? They’re pretty well-known now. My band The Folk Implosion sampled them.

I was obsessed with any band that sounded like… There was that period, what would that be, like, ‘90? It was like Ride, Slowdive, Pale Saints. My Bloody Valentine was starting, all their stuff was getting super-blurry-sounding. And there were all these bands that had one good song. Like Chapterhouse had one good song, and the rest of their songs were the worst. These English bands with amazingly lush production. And this Moose band sounds totally normal now.

They were really cool. Really young, too. They looked like little rich kids, kinda—I don’t mean to say that in a really horrible way, but they did, they looked like young English rich kids. But they were fucking fantastic live. Really loud. These really nice harmonies and this wash of guitars. I love this EP that this song came off of. Today Forever! That’s it.

Holy shit, it’s the first song I actually bought off iTunes. Really, really nice song. I haven’t heard the whole record. I only got this one song. It’s almost too polished. I don’t like to hear a lot of music that’s this polished, unless it’s a particular song. And this particular song is really good, I thought.

::devo_mecha-mania.boy
I love Devo. There’s nothing not to like. Other than some of their stuff is so sexually regressive, all the lyrics and stuff. My wife and I sat down and watched all of their videos once back-to-back; got really stoned. This was a while ago. And at the end of it, we were like, “God, I don’t feel good. Devo hates sex. My God!” Really angry lyrics about sex. A lot of it. Most of it is really very sexually oriented and very angry. It’s a lot to take.

I don’t like it too much. It’s got a lot of saxophone on it. [...] Jolie Holland has a beautiful voice. I really like a lot of her songs on this one particular record. It’s kind of jazzy. I’m not usually totally up for her, but I like her voice and lyrics, so.

There are 40 songs on [The Commercial Album] and there are only a few songs that I really like off it. But it was like, “Well, if I take the seven songs that I like off of it, it’s almost like buying the whole record, so I might as well.”

This is from ‘83, ‘84. They sound a lot like Flipper. This song is probably six minutes long. It’s pretty amazing, because it’s a spoken-word thing over the top, and this guy is telling the story of a drunk-driving accident that kills two teenagers. And it’s really sarcastic, like, [Adopts a sneering, Henry Rollins-like voice.] “She was well-educated by the standards of the time / He was a football player possessed of a…” You have to hear the song for me to even explain. It’s a really sarcastic song.

You can’t hate The Carter Family, man. “Fuck the Carter Family, it sucks! What is this shit?” [Laughs.] It sounds clear, it sounds really nice.

My daughter, who’s 3, has a little friend in preschool, so we went over to have dinner with this kid and his parents. The father turned out to be this rabid record collector, and really into all this obscure ’60s and ’70s stuff. He’s got all this vinyl, and he was kind of cool, and we were hanging out, and he was like, “Have you ever heard of Val Stöecklein?”
