<p><em>The <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/note_books/">Note Books</a> series features musicians discussing their literary side. Previous contributors have included <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/2005/04/shorties_376.html">John Darnielle</a>, <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/2005/05/note_books_john.html">John Vanderslice</a>, and others.</p>
<p><a href="http://japanther.com/">Japanther's</a> lo-fi aesthetic, eclectic samples and legendary high energy live shows combine to make these Brooklynites one of my favorite bands.</p>
<p>The band's new album, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0036JHESS/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Rock 'n' Roll Ice Cream</a></em>, is out March 2nd.</p>
<p>Japanther has also published a book, <em><a href="http://japanther.com/store/books/">Don't Trust Anyone Over 30</a></em>.</p>
<p><strong>In his own words, here is the <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/note_books/">Note Books</a> entry from <a href="http://japanther.com/">Japanther's</a> Ian Vanek:</strong></em></p>
<p>1. <strong><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0871133547/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Naked By the Window: The Fatal Marriage of Carl Andre and Ana Mendieta</a></em> by Robert Katz</strong></p>
<p>This look into a 1980's art scene murder is endlessly fascinating to me. It's like reading a Chandler or Carver novel about all the gallerinas and art egos we swim amongst in the NYC. I highly recommend it to anyone who might have art handled or worked in Chelsea. I'm not going to point fingers but this book could also be called: "How To Throw Your Wifey Out The Window And Get Away With It." Died much too young. </p>
<p><br />
2. <strong><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0553380958/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Snow Crash</a></em> by Neal Stephenson</strong></p>
<p>This novel about a language born virus remains one of my all time favorite works of fiction. Stephenson predicts things like the social networking, adaptations to the energy crisis and the future of nationalism.<br />
T.V. snow is falling, no ones really calling...</p>
<p><br />
3. <strong><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0964016540/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia</a></em> by Richard Hertz</strong></p>
<p>Jack Goldstein made the best video art going in my humble opinion. He utilized Hollywood film studios to make a variety of recordings and films with unique drive and passion. He was a part of the Chanard school (CalArts Pre-Disney) in southern California that took the art world by storm in the late seventies and early 80's with sculpture, paintings and video that pushed social and economic limits. Oh you selfish kid... </p>

<p>For fans of poetry, semi-secretive gay sex, Queen, Bowie and mind control. Out of f**king control music bio that makes you squirm a bit. L.A. UR A Mystery to me...</p>

5. <strong><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/9562915093/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">You Can't Win</a></em> by Jack Black</strong></p>
<p>This tail of an American hobo is both enthralling and educational. Recommended to those witty crooks out there who show a spark of intelligence. Who's side you on? The crooked coppers or The Hamburglar? 1-2-3-4 f**k the cops.</p>

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px;"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002ZBT84G/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20" title="Gil Scott-Heron"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4194-lLE6EL._SL500_AA240_.jpg"></a></div>
<p>This week brings new albums by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0031S4JVY/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">The Watson Twins <em>(Talking to You, Talking to Me)</em></a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0030E5NKU/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Yeasayer (<em>Odd Blood</em>)</a>, but I am more excited by the new releases by singer-songwriters <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002ZBT84G/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Gil Scott-Heron (<em>I'm New Here</em>)</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00319DX7E/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Kath Bloom (<em>Thin Thin Line</em>)</a>.</p>
<p>Among the week's music releases, I can already strongly recommend <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000E7MD/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Allison Moorer's <em>Crows</em></a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00319DXAQ/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Phantogram's <em>Eyelid Movies</em></a>, the incredibly soulful <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002WTUBGU/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Georgia Anne Muldrow's <em>Kings Ballad</em></a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002W6Z7C6/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Hot Chip's <em>One Life Stand</em></a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0030E5NJG/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20"><em>Putumayo Presents: Rhythm & Blues</em></a> is yet another strong compilation from Putumayo World Music, combining R&B classics with the latest generation of up and coming talents.</p>
<p>Aside from the three Buzzcocks remastered albums (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0031ZWZQ8/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20"><em>Another Music in a Different Kitchen</em></a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0031ZWZEK/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20"><em>Different Kind of Tension</em></a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0031ZWZSG/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20"><em>Love Bites</em></a>, all with bonus CDs), this is a slim week for reissues.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123406907">NPR</a> is streaming the new <a href="http://Shearwatermusic.com/">Shearwater</a> album, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0030E5NN2/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">The Golden Archipelago</a></em> (out February 23rd).</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/7157019/Lemony-Snicket-Interview.html">Telegraph</a> profiles author Daniel Handler.</p>
<p><em>About his family life, though, he is guarded, revealing only everyday details: he likes cooking, walking his son to school, playing music. It’s this discordance that is most intriguing about him: the shadow between the goofy, real-life Handler, and his ravaged, obsessive alter ego. Flashes of dry humour bubble up. When I ask him about the hugely successful film of the first three books, he replies: “I was hired to write eight drafts of the screenplay and then I was fired. But I have a policy that I can’t say anything nasty about a movie that bought me a house.” </em></p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/owen-pallett-the-hipsters-hipster/article1459294/">Globe and Mail</a> profiles singer-songwriter Owen Pallett.</p>
<p><em>Much of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002XLBC2O/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Heartland</a> has a spacious, orchestral feeling – Pallett recorded the string tracks with an orchestra in Prague – though the scoring usually sounds (intentionally, I think) like an acoustic translation of something written on a synthesizer. Pallett’s high, cool voice floats over the chunky surface of the instrumental rhythms like an elfin creature flying over the sea, and he often has a good melodic zephyr to carry him along. The man has a flair for distinctive tunes – not a common thing in pop these days. The rules of classic song-writing have left their mark on Pallett, who in most other ways seems like a hipster’s hipster.</em></p>

<p><em>This is Amis’s finest novel for a long time. It is close to a masterpiece, only undermined for me by frequent over-striving, which produces some false images and enervating repetitions; unlike his hero Saul Bellow, Amis is unfamiliar with restraint. But read it: it is hilarious, often wonderfully perceptive, uncompromisingly ambitious and written by a great master of the English language. In a time when many of our novelists are hedging their bets, Amis is gloriously undaunted.</em></p>

<p>It’s a cliché, I know,” says their front man, Jonathan Pierce, on the top floor of the two-storey flat that he shares with the rest of the Drums (and sundry friends and animals) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, “but the person who said everything I ever wanted to say is Morrissey. What a poet. He literally changed my life, swept me away.” The greatest single of the past 30 years, according to Pierce, is the Smiths’ This Charming Man; the most perfect song, Morrissey and Marr’s There Is a Light That Never Goes Out. On his bedroom wall hangs his proudest acquisition, a sleeve of the Smiths’ debut single, Hand in Glove, given to them by the Smiths’ drummer, Mike Joyce, that bears the message: “To the Drums from the Drums” (this was how Morrissey insisted Joyce be described on the original sleeve</p>

<p><em>Parks, 67, has always specialized in individuality. Born in Mississippi and educated in prep schools, Parks has a genteel manner, authentic erudition and magnolia blossoms on his tongue. He is a rock 'n' roll version of Mark Twain, often wearing white. Parks, one of the great behind-the-scenes figures in the Southern California music scene since he quit playing folk music in pop's Paleolithic era, is also making his San Francisco performing debut next week at the Swedish American Hall on a brief joint tour with Clare and the Reasons, a band led by Clare Muldaur, daughter of an old friend, musician Geoff Muldaur, his first real tour since he played keyboards with Ry Cooder more than 25 years ago.</em></p>

<p>A couple of weeks ago I ran a contest asking people what prizes would be best for the Largehearted Boy weekly contests. One of the most frequent responses was gift certificates, so I am taking that advice and giving away a $100 gift certificate to <a href="http://threadless.com/?from=largeheartedboy">Threadless.com</a> this week. The winner can choose between t-shirts and hoodies for adults and kids, even artwork.</p>
<p>Bands always have t-shirts at their shows, but I have yet to see a writer sell shirts at a reading.</p>
<p>To enter the contest, please leave a comment in this post with the name of the author who deserves his or her own rock star tour t-shirt.</p>
<p>The winner will receive the following prizes:</p>
<p>$100 gift certificate to <a href="http://threadless.com/?from=largeheartedboy">Threadless</a><br />
an assortment of books & CDs</p>
<p>The winner will be chosen randomly at midnight CT Friday evening (February 12th).</p>

<p><a href="http://blog.su-spectator.com/2010/02/sleigh-bells-the-band-to-watch-in-2010/">Seattle University's Spectator Blog</a> profiles one of my favorite new bands, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sleighbellsmusic">Sleigh Bells</a>.</p>
<p><em>Miller alleges there’s a full-length Sleigh Bells record in the works, and I can only hope that when it does see the light of day outside Brooklyn, it’ll be just as noisy and jarring and catchy as their EP. This is the kind of band for whom quality production would be a travesty. Lo-fi graininess is an integral part of Sleigh Bells’ style; it keeps their music interesting and challenging without detracting from their songwriting in any way.</em></p>

<p><em>She also sees the tour as a chance to experiment with her own songwriting. "I'm trying to work on writing in character, which is something Stephin Merritt has perfected. Most people don't realize how hard it is to write from a perspective that's detached from your own. I'd like to write more songs about characters and interactions between people."</em></p>

<p><em>In the <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/book_notes/">Book Notes</a> series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.</p>
<p>With her book <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780865479791?aff=largeheartedboy09">Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music</a>, Marisa Meltzer explores the music of the '90s and how both the underground and popular movements of the times have shaped our world. Combining in-depth research with biting commentary, Riot Grrl with Madonna, <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780865479791?aff=largeheartedboy09">Girl Power</a> is an entertaining but also informative social reference, and one of the best music books I have read in years.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bookslut.com/nonfiction/2010_02_015682.php">Bookslut's</a> Michael Schaub writes of the book:</p>
<p>"It's a remarkably well-written book, and it doesn't seek to be comprehensive, indier-than-thou, or preachy -- it's a brief history, written with a keen eye for both social and musical context, and it captures the spirit of popular music in the '90s better than anything I've read."</p>
<p><strong>In her own words, here is Marisa Meltzer's <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/book_notes/">Book Notes</a> music playlist for her book, <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780865479791?aff=largeheartedboy09">Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music</a>:</strong></em></p>
<p>Since I already spend most of my free time watching Breeders videos on YouTube and thinking about the deeper implications of Britney Spears' abs, writing <em><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780865479791?aff=largeheartedboy09">Girl Power</a></em>—a whole book devoted to those very things!—rarely felt like work. At least, it felt like the kind of work that's a pleasure to do.</p>
<p>But when your hobby becomes your job, it creates a bit of a problem. Suddenly listening to Madonna and Bikini Kill were part of my work life and I needed to go beyond my girly-nineties comfort zone to find music to soundtrack all the other parts of my life.</p>
<p>I don't listen to music while I write, so this is mostly music I listen to while procrastinating. I hope that doesn't sound dismissive; listening to a song while I'm distracting myself from doing something else is usually when I appreciate it the most.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>"Six Different Ways" by The Cure</strong></p>
<p>At some point in the middle of writing the book, I started to listen to The Cure exclusively. If I felt trapped in my apartment, I'd ride my bike around Prospect Park a few times and this was always the first song I'd listen to (the second was always “Catch”). There's a certain tenacity to Robert Smith's love songs that really speaks to my inner 15-year-old. I'd like to be on the receiving end of it.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>“Pacific Ocean Blues” by Dennis Wilson</strong></p>
<p>This is part of a whole subgenre of songs about California (others include “California Über Alles,” Joni Mitchell's “California,” the Beach Boys' oeuvre, and the theme song to <em>The OC</em>) that I listen to while indulging in low-grade homesickness for the west coast. I also love that this song mentions otters.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>"Father Figure" by George Michael</strong></p>
<p>I was in junior high when this single came out and its video felt like the height of sophistication, all models and downtown lofts and garter belts. Now the only place I feel comfortable singing “If you are the desert/ I'll be the sea/ If you ever hunger/ Hunger for me” is the privacy of my own home. But I do it often.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>"He Needs Me (Demo Version)" by Harry Nilsson</strong></p>
<p>There are two demos of this song from the soundtrack to <em>Popeye</em> on <em>HARRYties</em>: one is sung by Shelley Duval, the other, for reasons I fail to understand, is sung in Spanish by a woman who sounds like Joanna Newsom. Both are like taking a vacation to Swoon City, USA.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>"Hippychick" by Soho</strong></p>
<p>I enjoy the Why Not element of this song: Why not start a group and call it “Soho”? Why not decide to call your one hit “Hippychick”? Why not sample “How Soon Is Now”? It also appears on one of my favorite episodes of <em>90210</em> when Brenda tries to become a spoken word artist.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>“Stabby” by Japanther</strong></p>
<p>This is a perfect egg timer of a song. I always listen to it between paragraphs or after finishing a chapter, usually while lying on my couch and staring at the ceiling. My apartment has one of those pressed tin ceilings, so there's a lot to look at.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>"Whiter Shade of Pale" by Jackie Mittoo</strong></p>
<p>I like Procol Harum's original version of this song, too, but this instrumental cover is totally perfect. I like to listen to it first thing in the morning while drinking tea and staring out at the Yummy Taco across the street.</p>

<p><em>The <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/note_books/">Note Books</a> series features musicians discussing their literary side.

<p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/carebearsonfire">Care Bears on Fire</a> make music that belies their ages. The Brooklyn trio combines impressive musical chops with big lyrical hooks, and puts on one of my favorite live performances.</p>
<p>The band's second album, 2009's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0027VDGJ2/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Get Over It!</a>, is smart, literate, and fun, and highly recommended for music fans of all ages.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/carebearsonfire">Care Bears on Fire</a> will appear at <a href="http://www.bn.com/upstairs">Upstairs at the Square</a> with author Blake Nelson on March 11th in New York.</p>
<p><strong>In their own words, here is the <a href="http://www.largeheartedboy.com/blog/archive/note_books/">Note Books</a> entry from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/carebearsonfire">Care Bears on Fire</a>:</strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451524934/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">1984</a></em> by George Orwell</strong></p>
<p>We all really love this book because George Orwell practically predicted the future. This is a truly creepy depiction of a totalitarian society that is not so far off from certain societies in our world today. It shows what could happen to any country if power goes unchecked and people lose their ability to stand up for what's right.</p>
<p><strong><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0316769177/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">The Catcher in the Rye</a></em> by J.D. Salinger</strong><br />
We all love this book so much because we all relate to Holden and love him so! When you read this book, it's impossible not to feel like you know just what Holden’s going through. Holden is the epitome of a misunderstood teenager, but unlike most, he is actually someone that we'd want to talk to! Salinger was so good at weaving together plots and characters throughout all of his stories and we find this really compelling. R.I.P J.D Salinger.</p>
<p><strong><em>Harry Potter</em> by J.K. Rowling</strong></p>
<p>Who doesn't love <em>Harry Potter</em>? It is so addicting and wonderful in every way.</p>
<p>When we haven’t picked up a <em>Harry Potter</em> book for a while, we find ourselves truly missing the characters. It may seem a little odd, but it is one of those books that encourages crazy behavior, for instance, squealing when you see someone reading a <em>Harry Potter</em> book on the subway and falling over trying to see what page they are on so that you can get a vicarious <em>HP</em> thrill.</p>
<p><strong><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345342968/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Fahrenheit 451</a></em> by Ray Bradbury</strong></p>
<p>We all read Ray Bradbury's <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345342968/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">Fahrenheit 451</a></em> a couple of years ago and it made a huge impact on each of us -- even though it's over fifty years old and is Science Fiction. The setting: a futuristic Dystopian society where critical thinking and creativity are punishable offences, and books are burned for the good of society. It represents to us the dumbing down of modern America. The terrifying book inspires one to remember to keep culture and art alive, for someone will always try to take it away from you.</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743273567/ref=nosim/largeheartedb-20">The Great Gatsby</a></em> by F. Scott Fitzgerald</p>
<p>In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby we enter the world of the very rich, and like hero Nick Carraway, discover that the American Dream has a dark side. We don't want to reckon with who we really are and Gatsby's total invention of himself, and the sadness that comes with it, is proof. This novel forces confront our hopes and unrecognized dreams.</p>
