Anti-kirchenlied is Steve Williams’
newest collection of poetry. At 23 poems it reflects the style of
his last full-length collection ‘fight for your frequency’
with more detail and precision. Roughly translated, Anti-kirchenlied
means “against music” ( kirchelied actually means 'hymns'
). In this collection the poet struggles with the love and frustration
that comes when music is your muse, driving long distances is the
norm, and the art of the simple relationship is more complex than
we are often led to believe. The collection travels through Vermont’s rivers, mountainsides, sheds, country houses and backyards while taking detours through confused bedrooms, late nights in the dark and daydreams of musical perfection. Williams’ playful approach to language blends casual observation, imagination, and field-reporting into dense chunks of wistful whimsy – a window into the poet’s impressions of what is, what couldshouldbe(but isn’t) and what will most likely happen, given the way things usually work out. Anti-kirchenlied will leave you appreciating the people who yell outside your house and steal records out of your car while reminding you how much you can get out of waking up before sunrise to take a long drive on the interstate for work. It’s a collection that provokes laughter and resignation, makes you think a little bit more about the kinds of things you think, and in the end encourages you to trade in all of your experiences for comfort and trust. Steve Williams is a rock and roll poet with a heart of gold. Anti-kirchenlied is his best book yet. |

My First Days on Junk 'Songs for Darla the Fake Girl'. The first record. Here is a review: From erasingclouds.com --My First Days on Junk, Songs for Darla The Fake Girl (North of January/Danger Five) The first three songs on My First Days on Junk's album Songs for Darla the Fake Girl each begin with a loud, full, dreamy swirl of guitars that immediately marks the group as My Bloody Valentine-lovers. There's no hiding it, not that they're trying to. That lovingly warped MBV sound is pleasurable in its own right to many of us, but My First Days on Junk's songs benefit from having at their core great pop melodies. These songs don't need the blissed-out veneer; they'd be great pop songs if stripped down to just a singer and a guitar. As the album proceeds, that gets more and more evident, as by song #7, "Tired From the Trip," they've done away with the effects and are down to the basics. The songs that follow it, "How Do I Tell if You've Gone Too Far?" and "Forever," are slower and more minimalist songs that sound like the weary mornings-after the far-out trips of the earlier songs. Then there's a bouncy summer pop song ("Vacation Head Revisited") before the group dives back into the hurricane, announcing with a resounding crunch at the beginning of "Headfirst for the Good Guys" that they're on a trip once again. The album ends with "Missing Darla," one more fuzzed-out meditation that should be played loud as hell. When the unlisted bonus track starts with the line, "What kind of a band is this, I know", you laugh, cause My First Days on Junk do seem to be jumping back and forth a bit. But that indecision is A-OK with me; as long as they keep writing catchy hooks, they can dress them up in a wall of sound or not…either way sounds great. After all, as one of the group members, Colin Clary, sings on the first song, "Attention deficit is what you make of it." |

Colin Clary and the Magogs first record 'Her Life of Crime' From Splendidezine.com: Like
fashion, music tends to move through cycles of recurring style.
One moment faded jeans and lo-fi folk songs are en vogue, and the
next thing you know, it's legwarmers, banana clips and garage rock.
The point is, everything that's old becomes new again, a trend that
suggests that you should no more throw out your expired albums than
your lycra bodysuit. Rest assured: both bodysuit -- and the music
you danced to in it -- will return. |
