Buzz Out Loud 735: Indiana Jones
Paramount is dropping sounds out of your movies, Canadian customs guards might be rifling through your laptop for ripped CDs, and aliens are real. See, now, it sounds like today's show is all made-up stories, but the first two things are true, and the last one is ... well, I don't know, I guess it might be true. There's a guy in Denver who says he's got a video. YouTube it!
Since Lying In States' inception in 1999, these virile young men have worked hard to unclog the stopped-up Chicago music scene by developing a dynamic sound and side-stepping categorization. Fusing danceable, dirigible rhythms with shadowy, swerving electronics and infectious frenetic hooks, Lying In States nestles itself between the classic rock of the 70's, the naked noise of the 80's and the stepped up sound of the 90's by constructing a compelling clamor that sticks to your brain. Their debut full-length, Most Every Night, comes to crush you in January 2004.
Prophet Omega: "The Right Thing"
Until recently, Joe Magistro was an affable, unassuming rock drummer who could often be seen manning the traps in the rock clubs of New York City. Then he underwent a startling metamorphosis into multi-tasking one-man D.I.Y. mastermind Prophet Omega, who makes an appropriately visionary entrance with his Astralwerks debut The Natural World. Recorded in makeshift home studios in a Brooklyn apartment and a rented cabin in the rustic isolation of New York's Catskill mountains, The Natural World is a one-of-a-kind magnum opus whose 13 lovingly crafted tracks combine a freewheeling sonic sensibility with abundant melodic hooks and generous doses of old-school rock and soul beats. Magistro mines an array of real and sampled instruments and a ramshackle assortment of found sounds, stitching disparate elements into seamlessly funky epics that combine over-the-top sonic inspiration with tightly constructed, lyrically thoughtful songcraft.

THE ADORED combine elements of discopunk, new wave, and pure power pop to create an intelligent yet catchy, different yet danceable sound. Inspired by the likes of The Clash, The Jam, and Blur, scenepointblank.com calls them Garagey, catchy, and as much as I hate the word, sassy. The Adored were born when four best friends and bon vivants joined up to make spiky party music. What came out draws from the more angular elements of early punk & postpunk and the less pompous elements of fin-de-siecle Britpop. Ryan (vocals) and Nat (drums) met in the mid-90s in NorCal and both played with a locally legendary punk band before moving southward. Max (bass) and Drew (guitar) met as students in Boston, studying media, all the while dreaming of a Los Angeles pop life. The four finally came together in LA and never looked back. So far, their adventures as Hollywood golden boys have included shows with eclectic artists new and old like Supergrass, The Zombies, Ima Robot, Bow Wow Wow, The Futureheads and Les Sav Fav. The Adored have also performed at parties hosted by members of buzz bands Mount Sims, Interpol and the Moving Units. The band has also appeared in clips on the UK?s Channel Four and Southern California?s Fox 11 ---as the current LA ?it band?! With mentions in the NME, the California press, and a grassroots network of blogs and webzines have all helped build an international fan base for the Adored. Again and again, they have performed in San Francisco, Las Vegas and Californias beach counties, bringing their music to grateful, music starved suburban scenesters and leaving their mark on the West Coast. The boys finished a successful 4-night mini-tour to New York City this spring and a weekly residency at Sunset Strips KEY CLUB. Following a 4-song demo in 2003, the Adored recorded a 5-song EP for V2 Records in fall 2004, with producer Dave Trumfio and a special guest vocalist friend and mutual fan Pete Shelley [Buzzcocks].

"No Mistakes" is such a laid-back and comforting track that director harv was right to sit Classified in a chair on the porch and show him hanging out in his room, making beats, fiddling with a guitar, and sketching honest, self-deprecating and full-on funny lyrics by the side of his bed. So appropriate! And great to watch. The shots where the camera pulls back through tubes and rings are entrancing, and the slow zooms give the thing a subtle life that keeps your eyes on the screen. Although Class mentions that some of his past videos are better viewed with the picture off and the sound up, this is not one of them ? you?re gonna want to watch. - MuchMusic
