Debuting the Doolittle show to the U.S. at this first of a three-night-stand at the Hollywood Palladium, Pixies have the crowd won over before a note is played. But nonetheless they will deliver the goods over the course of an hour and half set that unfolds. One of the side effects of the play-a-classic-album show is that the fixed script largely eliminates the element of surprise and prunes out the most casual fans. The collective vibe is thus more akin to that of something like Rocky Horror screening; the converted going to church. It’s heartening to see multiple generations of fans, even if the mean age might skew a bit towards the Gen X’ers. One little ‘tween girl skipping around has an endearing tiny iron-on shirt with their four faces in silhouette.

After a pixelated projection of Buñuel and Dali’s Un chien andalou, famously source material for the poetry of Debaser, they take the stage, three of the four of them clad in slimming all black, David the lone hold out in a white button down. A quartet of conjoined glowing globes, something between a science fair molecular model and rosary beads, dangles over them. Lo-fi but effective stage art (to go along with projections of unique new song-length films assigned to most of the songs). They ease into the set with four Doolittle-era B-sides. And while I had hoped for Kim’s “Debaser” bouncing bass eighth-notes to be the first sounds of the night, going with the B-sides proves to the be right way to go–a nod to the deeper fans, serving to build the anticipation, while setting the album in some kind of context.

To retell it, it sounds almost surreal, as if out of a dream: “Thom Yorke was playing the Echoplex. It was dark and smoky and smelled of incense. Some jazz was playing. Flea was on bass. Then he played four new, possibly Radiohead songs by himself. Har Mar Superstar stepped on my foot at the bar.” Well, all this really happened (maybe that last one just to me). And sorry, Rest of the World, it’s happening in Los Angeles.

A satisfying 16-song set covering a wide range of sonic dynamics, Thom debuted a new 5-piece band at Echoplex Friday night, ahead of a pair of shows at the Orpheum Theatre. “Welcome to the rehearsal,” he deadpanned as a greeting, then proceeded to work out the whole of The Eraser, both sides of his new 12” and–key here for the fans–an encore of four brand new ones, which may or may not grow up be Radiohead tunes. In fact, atypical for live crowds, and a measure of the intensity of fandom Radiohead begets, new songs are not only respectfully received, but hoped for (and promptly YouTubed).

Fashionably shaggy in cowboy shirt, high-top kicks and his usual light beard, Thom was in playful mood throughout–chatting between tunes, throwing out a few words out in a jokey American accent, name checking Stone Temple Pilots for some reason (anyone?), even throwing up a double middle finger response to something shouted out I didn’t catch. (Surely legions of fans will make a snapshot of that moment their new online avatar.) Though maybe he’s always like this up close; it can be hard to tell from the hillside benches at the Hollywood Bowl, the usual vantage point from which myself and thousands of others usually are able to catch a glimpse of him in this town.

HEADS UP

Pavement @ Central Park SummerStage NYC Tue 9/21/10 (Password: ZOWEE)

After years of speculation, the most important American band of the Nineties is returning to the stage with the lineup of Mark Ibold, Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West reuniting for dates around the world in 2010. Please be advised this tour is not a prelude to additional jaunts and/or a permanent reunion.

In a year where the increasingly pointless Oasis has finally kicked the bucket, Blur’s classic lineup reunites and The Stone Roses debut celebrates it’s 20th anniversary, Sheffield’s Arctic Monkeys have emerged as their sons and heirs to a Britpop throne, though, thankfully, not obviously influenced by either of those elder bands.

They’ve come a long way and fast. Six years and three LPs into it, they have an enviable bag of tunes and have already gone through the growing phases that most bands do over a long career: long hair, seeking out American influences (specifically, Josh Homme), attempts at a “mature” mellower sound, etc.

Taking the stage to some up-tempo big beat and surprisingly loud shrill screams, their hour and a half set easily wins over the Palladium tonight, admittedly a partisan crowd. These are clearly songs that are saying something to these particular kids about their lives. »continue reading Arctic Monkeys & The Like, Hollywood Palladium, September 15, 2009

PHOTO by Sung. More HARD Summer before/after shutdown shots here.

Hard Summer LA 2009 at The Forum was shut down by Inglewood P.D. last night. Yes, you all know this already– already a hot thread is cooking over at LAWeekly.com here–and Underworld has issued a statement here–but just wanted to make a small mention as it was our POTW. Maybe you want to chime in with your takes on what went down. If we get any word on the refunds that apparently have been promised, we’ll pass it along.

Taking in This Is Spinal Tap for maybe the dozenth time, now on Blu Ray, fondly remembering dorm-room fast-forwarding VHS past the white-on-blue Embassy Pictures logo, what strikes me, this time, is how, depending on your take, TIST can stand both with and apart from the class of popular films of 1984.

Rattling off a list of the mainstream ‘84 flicks that have secured landmark status in the culture some 25 years later—Sixteen Candles, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, Footloose, The Karate Kid, Repo Man, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Beverly Hills Cop and Terminator*—all, amazingly, from 1984—in fact, EW has a piece just last month on the notion of 1984 as a cinematic annus mirabilis of sorts—one can read TIST on its surface as a comedic character piece, with David, Nigel and Derek as 80’s icons, immediately identifiable right alongside the Ghostbusters, Gizmo the Mogwai or The Karate Kid. But, looking at its style and technique, it stands apart from the other films in that list.
