- After five albumless years, this February brought New Magnetic Wonder from Elephant 6 alumni the Apples in Stereo [2]. Over the course of the long disc grand “main tracks” burst at the seams with acrobatic guitar flourishes, liberal vocoder use, and irresistibly buoyant dance party themes. In between, “link tracks” provide breathers with samples, short musical interludes, and field recordings including Jeff Mangum playing drums and “cow object”. Recording it nearly destroyed Robert Schneider’s computer and he invented an entirely new musical scale based on natural logarithms along the way. [neumos [3]]
- Tonight is the last night to catch Matthew Barney : No Restraint at the Northwest Film Forum. It chronicles the production of “Drawing Restraint 9″, a film made aboard a working Japanese whaling vessel that includes Bjork and 45,000 pounds of petroleum jelly. Although the interview [# [4]] that Barney did for the Believer’s visual issue are not online, a few selections are available [mcswys [5]]. At 6:30, 8:00, & 9:30 pm [nwff [6]]
