Another amazing polaroid from Alex Marks, this time of soul legend Lee Fields, who played an INCREDIBLE show here last Friday. More pictures to come, and special thanks to Alex Marks, Robert Pecina Jr., Rob Crowley, Chris Hillen, and Gory Smelley for all their work in making the show such a pleasure. Be sure to listen to the full Lee Fields interview tonight on Marfa Public Radio‘s Night Train from midnight to 2 am, where David Beebe goes deep and talks to Lee for a full hour.

And read this Fader post by Sam Hockley-Smith about Tame Impala’s song “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards,” which prompted me to buy the whole record:

I went for a walk, listening to “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” on repeat. … Maybe it was the jetlag, or maybe it actually happened—but pretty soon it looked like people were walking in lockstep to Kevin Parker’s beat, which is built on a stuttered keyboard melody and snappy bass, before it degrades into lush drum fills and fuzzed-out guitar, Parker repeating It feels like I only go backwards/ every part of me says go ahead/ I got my hopes up again (oh no, not again)/ feels like we only go backwards. Though I was dazed and confused and definitely exhausted, the song felt like a reality check for me — as life changing as you can reasonably call a song you didn’t write yourself is life changing.

Check out the interview with Metz over at Pitchfork, where they discuss their live show (“A couple beers, then you’re on, then you black out, then you wake up”), Mudhoney, Ottawa, and once playing a sports bar (“We got three songs in and were politely asked to stop. They were like, ‘We’re just trying to eat our chicken burgers and we’d rather listen to the radio, if that’s cool'”).

Stream the album below, and while you’re at it, might as well stream the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor record (their first in over a decade).

Brian DeGraw of Gang Gang Dance on Philip Glass:

“I think his relationship with [the Chinese meditation practice] Qi Gong is very, very relevant and that has also been really inspirational in terms of helping me to approach life and music from a different direction. I have grown from mainly punk seeds and have made the majority of the music I’ve been involved in within the framework of punk, but at a certain age, I could feel myself progressing out of that state of mind a bit and really following the paths of meditation and spirituality and basically subscribing less and less to a “fuck the world” mentality and more and more to an “un-fuck the world” type train of thought. I tend to relate that transition to Glass a lot, in that, while his music has always had a fairly academic approach, it also had a necessary rawness in the early days. It had very deep meditational rough edges. Spiritual performance punk.”

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit – all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”

Hip Deep Angola Part 2: Kuduro and Beyond by Afropop Worldwide

Ned Sublette — composer, musician, musicologist, and one of the stars of Vidas Perfectas (which will make its way to Marfa next year) — just released Hip Deep Angola Part Two: 21st Century Urban Angola: Kizomba, Kudiro, Afro-House, and Beyond. The second in his series about Angola, this show focuses entirely on African electronic music. Sublette explains, “Peace came to Angola in 2002 after forty-two years of war, and now everything is different, with construction under way everywhere. The postwar generation of the last ten years communicates via text-messaging and electronic music. The biggest of which is the techno-meets-rap-meets-African-dance style known as kuduro (literally, “hard-ass”).” Check it out. –NI

From a Vice interview with Lee Fields, “Lee Fields Is the Coolest Motherfucker to Ever Sing Words Into a Microphone”, where Lee discusses his show:

…I love all of the audience. I look at them not as fans, but as my extended family. It’s a love of mankind — trying to get that moment of euphoria. A few moments where we can escape from whatever it is that’s causing discomfort in our lives. We’re gonna escape. That’s what I’m trying to achieve in the course of that performance, so although we’re in one building, we’re not going anywhere, but we do go somewhere. There’s a small excursion to a place that words cannot describe, and we try to go there for a moment, and although we want to stay there, we can’t stay there long. But that one moment is worth all of the efforts.
