Vicarious Blues!
Now that is a terrible name we need to take on. Break out the recorder, it's sideproject time.

doesn't the go! team make you so happy?! yay the go! team!
When the drums kicked in and the chanting started up I thought, 'this has to be our winner. It's too great.'

love it. i want to play! how do i play?
-- lenny, Wednesday, 17 August 2005 19:40

LSten, welcome. It's as easy as:
1. get/find 13 songs you've never heard before.
2. listen to them once and score them 0-10.
3. post your results here!

You can do the same ones we've done (I could make you a tape/burn you a CD) or find your own. We've got a Woods-centric one coming up this weekend that you might find amenable.

-- jerginsi (jergins), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:12

lenny! so glad you joined us, and that you're excited about playing Lucky 13. do please let us know what we can do to facilitate your game.

j-
i just checked out the ilm thread on animal collective; man, those people really love "grass" don't they? holy. i need to find a scsi 9 thread where i can feel at home.

-- lxy (lxy), Friday, 26 August 2005 14:47

You should get on that thread and start yelling. "I GAVE 'GRASS' A ZERO ON LUCKY 13. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS? WORST SONG EVER AND YOU LIKE IT!" They'd appreciate that.
This might be more your speed:

Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei

-- jergins (jergins), Friday, 26 August 2005 19:37

i'm ready to reclaim lucky 13 from the badness that is represented by animal collective. maybe we can do some decibel-themed games to help us decide who we want to see....
(thanks in advance for the great birthday present, and for doing the work for richie and annie. i'm tingling with excitement.)

speaking of the mountain goats, john darnielle said this on 7/29/5:
"By the way, the best album released so far this year is still The Foundation by the Geto Boys. Like, by about a country mile. Nobody else in rap working anywhere near this level. Just so you know."

do you know them?

what do you think about a Lucky 13 assembly of songs / artists recommended by j.d.?

-- lxy (lxy), Monday, 12 September 2005 18:25

Yeah, we could do some form of recommendations. With j.d. it would be a lot of metal, though, i think. I was also wondering if we could do a lucky 13 with Annie's new DJ Kicks. That might be fun, or the songs might be too short.

Lucky 13 #7 for 9.18.2005
LD#1
This is the first time I haven't looked over the list before, instead writing them down as I went. I also couldn't sit still.

Don't Make Me Wait (original 12" dub mix).....Peech Boys.....6

2005: the year of great instrumental tracks and crappy vocals. I can at times fall for the sub-Prince thing, but I didn't here.

Great Waves............Dirty Three............8

As she mellows, Chan Marshall's voice reminds me more and more of Edie Brickell. But I still like her.

Heads High............Mr. Vegas............3

Not offensively bad, but really, not at all good. Repetitivetitive.

Hush Hush Tip..........'N Tyce..............4

that baby voice, combined with sucky lyrics, doesn't do it for me. I liked the piano line, the way it sounded like jazzy hiphop from 10-12 years ago.

I Want None of This...........Radiohead...........6.5

Does this one have the same speed/sound/vibe as 'Life In A Glass House'? That was my first impression. The Radiohead ideal, with the quotes about 'always moving forward, not wanting to sound like we used to' starts to sound a little suspicious this many years later, with this traditional of a song. Also, is there a limit on the # of songs that can hit the 'moving' nerve, the cry reflex, from a single artist/band? I fear Radiohead may have used them all up.

jah...........M.A.N.D.Y..............6

Not the greatest MANDY track, but thank god for a beat, finally. How many times have i said, 'this song makes me want to smoke pot'? So I did, and the rest were the stony 7, just for the public record.

good sounds, occasionally overwrought, nice breakdown, difficult ending, a little harsh....a six.

La Pollera Colora (Michael Mayer Mix).....Gonzalo Martinez.........8

Here we go. Great beat layering. Loved the depth of the beats and the latin feeel. A little long and repetetive, with the end losing momentum.

Maps............Arcade Fire.........DNQ, for me

I couldn't give it a score. Yeah, we've done cover songs before, but never one I've known this well, two different ways (Ada). I liked it, though.

Mifune (Martin Landsky Remix).........Sunsetpeople........6

This one was more relentless than our other electronic tracks, verging on being too fast. It also lacked the sweep other the other get physicals (Mandy, Booka, Chelonis).

That said, I liked the 'up' sound: 30 degrees, fast decay, every two seconds.

Phantom Broadcast..........The Go! Team............6.5

There's always an adjustment period when the Go Team come up on a mix, isn't there? It's a jolt, sound-quality wise.

Well, they've discovered their American roots. Good title too. Short though.

Smiling Off (Luomo Remix)........Black Dice...........7

very smooth start. I figure you hated the vocal but I didn't mind, at least for most of the track, its otherworldliness, its repetition and fade. The move to harshness and back is beguiling. Great breakdown, many brilliant moments, a bit too long....seven.

They Wanna Know (Whisper edit/refix mix).....Mr Lee G & Ghislain Poirier.........9.5

OH HOLY SHIT! It's the whisper song as i always knew it could be. Wow.

washing up...........Tomas Andersson.........6

that analog keyboard is really in attack mode. What is it about the songs that annoy the hell out of you and make you dance at the same time?

-- jergins (jergins), Monday, 19 September 2005 15:56

Lucky 13 #7 for 9.19.5 LD#1
Don't Make Me Wait (original 12" dub mix)....Peech Boys....6

the music is a plus ("clapping" and bass); i have mixed feelings about the voice, and the piano is a minus.

Great Waves....Dirty Three....6

i like the ringing warmth of the tune, but her voice reminds me of someone i can't name, and seems outdated.

Heads High....Mr. Vegas....5

i like the 50's quality of the voice, but this song is not interesting enough to be so repetitive.

Hush Hush Tip....'N Tyce....7

this is a good serious groove contrasted with a good rap (all plusses), but her voice is pretty grating.

I Want None of This....Radiohead....6

the harmonies are nice but this is disappointing in that it doesn't seem like a progression from amnesiac.

jah....M.A.N.D.Y.....6

there's something going on that i like (nice, warm undercurrents; good changes) but i don't like the sterility and driven-ness.

La Pollera Colora (Michael Mayer Mix)....Gonzalo Martinez....8

while the "clucking" noise is too high up in the mix, this song has good layering and builds, and a nice, subtle fade-out. i really enjoyed the intro with its contrasting light-heavy beats.

Maps....Arcade Fire....2

a poor rendition of a good song. their voices suck.

Mifune (Martin Landsky Remix)....Sunsetpeople....8

full, moving, compelling.

Phantom Broadcast....The Go! Team....7

a nice little snippet from the old west. succeeds in part because it's short (like me).

Smiling Off (Luomo Remix)....Black Dice....3

spooky and bad.

They Wanna Know (Whisper edit/refix mix)....Mr Lee G & Ghislain Poirier....4

the vocals are better than the original, but they're still gross. damn that music is good though, innit?

washing up....Tomas Andersson....0

this song gives me the creeps and i never want to hear it again every. i had to lock the door while listening to it... that's how much it freaked me out. i think i'd rather listen to the animal collective than this. and it's especially disappointing because i was so sure i was going to like it.

-- lxy (lxy), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 05:12

you really didn't look at my answers before you posted, did you?
-- jergins (jergins), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 05:24

re-reading my post, i realize that my tenses change when i'm drunk.
-- jergins (jergins), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 05:28

it's fun and funny to read your comments after i've posted mine. (no, i sure didn't look. that makes it funner, huh?) i like seeing your narrative about the tracks, since that doesn't typically happen so much during an in-person session. nice summary on the radiohead; you expressed what i was thinking much better than i did.
here are our totals:

Lucky 13 #7 for 9.18.2005

9. Hush Hush Tip..........'N Tyce..............11
10. Smiling Off (Luomo Remix)........Black Dice...........10
11. Heads High............Mr. Vegas............8
12. washing up...........Tomas Andersson.........6

They Wanna Know: hurray for a 9.5, highest individual Lucky 13 score to date! (my playlist got fucked up because of the protected songs, but i didn't realize it till i was already going, so i didn't listen to some of the songs in the proper order. perhaps if i had bookended They Wanna Know with Smiling Off and washing up, i'd have given it a much higher score. as we've discussed, context cannot be ignored.)

thanks, j.

On Thursday, October 13, which is John Peel Day, Jergins and Lxy will play a special edition of Lucky 13 featuring Peel Session cuts.
Lucky 13 is a game in which we listen to 13 songs we've never heard before, and rate and discuss them. Results will be posted on the Lucky 13 thread at ilxor.com. We will post the track list before the event, so you should play along with us, and post your results too.

(Jergins, will you please post the track list?)
