mathcountry
Carl Z.: Perhaps in two years, we'll see math-country (alt.country fused with the very Frippian loud indie rock known as math-rock). hoorah! ... actually, Carl, weren't those Terry-irking stop-start (Minutemen-influenced) Uncle Tupelo songs math country, basically? (I'm thinking for instance of most of Farrar's stuff on Still Feel Gone). if I were a good enough musician i'd run out and start a math-country band right now - i'd love to hear, er, Neko Case fronting a band like Don Caballero, which has lots of great moments but really isn't interesting enough to get by without vocals/songs. my other obsession is starting an alt-countryish group with a turntablist. Richard Buckner with the Invisibl Scratch Picklz, anyone? (fluffy today) carl w.

Heh. Perhaps, though Still Feel Gone's songs are relatively short and depend on lyrics to a greater extent than say, Panel Donor, Don Caballero or Hurl does. I don't think UT did a whole lot in 5/4 time either (not a bad thing to avoid really).

Maybe he can team up with Kool Keith and/or Greg Garing. round the outside, Carl Z.

Carl Abraham Zimring wrote: Still Feel Gone's songs are relatively short and depend on lyrics "this trickle-down theory / has left all these pockets empty" was always one of my favourites. And just about every darn word in "Still Be Around"... Man, is he a damn good songwriter. Ooops. Sorry. Thought this was postcard... Stevie
