Dear People I Don't Like:


Please stop liking things I like, it ruins the fuck out of it for me

Not your pal,
Alicia Williams

P.S. if you're in a band it's probably not No Age, Wavves or Black Lips, so don't sound so identical!

P.P.S. I'm so over garage/surf right now, ughughugh ugh UGH!
 
Gross!

bandz und stuff

Hey!

Sometimes I like to tell you what my favourite bands are.
It's always changing, with some constants.  But sometimes constants change.
and then it's time for me to tell you new stuff,

like right now.

SO
Here is an up-to-date, well-to-do list of hit bands I like, sans reasoning/explanation, plus, it's in not particular order!::::::;

The Pixies
The Black Angels
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Jay Reatard/The Reatards/The Lost Sounds/Destruction Unit
Black Sabbath
The Cramps
Demon's Claws
Gravedigger V
Half Japanese!
The Minutemen
The Vaselines

obviously, shitloads of local/myspace kinds of bands as well
but it's kind of creeper to list bands you like who aren't famous, agree?
maybe, I'll tell you anyway, top three, top three

Bertha Cool
Nu Sensae
Grown-Ups

there's more, but you knows whats I likes!

to compare. this. is an old list from 2008/from my olden Nexopia blog (reposted, I didn't use Nexopia in 2008, I hope...)

these are bands i “hella” like, yo!
dead milkmen
the mummies
bikini kill+julie ruin+le tigre
the b-52′s
bratmobile
x-ray spex
the avengers
the horrorpops
the creepshow
patti smith
wu tang clan ain’t nuthin to fuck wit
joy division
the pixies
sonic youth
the cramps
the violent femmes

thats pretty much all i listen to on a regular basis
but who cares, right?
pretty sucky hey!
so, I don't listen to riot grrrl music anymore, really, but some is still on my iPod/iTunes
and the Dead Milkmen I listen to sometimes
and Sonic Youth pisses me off a lot,
but I do listen to Bad Moon Rising and Confusion is Sex/Kill Yr. Idols at times

and too, theres lots of bands I really like based on one or two songs
EXAMPLES:
Compulsive Gamblers: Sour and Vicious Man
Husker Du: Terms of Psychic Warfare and Real World
The Slits: I Heard it Through the Grapevine
Liars: Freakout

ET CETERA!

This is what I love about radio the most, being able to name drop and not seem fucking weird.

Dear Classmates/Pseudo Intellectuals

Not watching certain MTV shows doesn't mean you're smarter than anyone else, it just means you're uninformed on the current state of popular culture.

On the same note, my enjoyment and the utter delight that I experience whilst watching shows such as: Teen Mom, Jersey Shore, MTV Live etc. does not make me an idiot,
so long as I do not emulate those I see smiling back at me from the TV screen.

Saying things like: 
"I have never seen that show but...[quotes/summarize events in show]"
"Whenever I see a young mom on the street I am instantly reminded of the show Teen Mom...
but I've never seen that show before"
"I've never seen that show before...[later]...I've watched a few episodes with my friend who has a kid"

..makes you the idiot and no one else

I fail to see the point of reassuring your classmates, and yourself, that you do not watch these shows,
especially when you, obviously, went out of your way to sign up for an art class on Popular Culture.
Did you only expect to be looking at fucking Warhol stencils?

I mean seriously.


Your disgusted acquaintance,
Alicia Williams

Hurraay!

I made this today:
For thee olden radio show!

Obv. this was the old one
I likes it better, but I needed a change of scenery on my FB fanpager

I also posted ALL of the iTunes images of song listings for each show and a description of each theme
which you can find on this blog, but I did it anyway, instead of homework
so, become a fan!




MONDAY FEb 14/11

Heyo!

My keyboard is messed up with crumby crumbs!
EXPECT TYPOS/spell check is a joke

anyway

THEME: End OF Times

I CAN'T STOP listening to River of Blood by the Black Angels
They're the best band I've heard in forever
though, after playing that one Liars song today, I think I'm starting to evolve past Freak Out... 
Music is so good when people aren't idiots.

anyway
2H: Mixxer mixerr

Check out Babysitter they're some really good NEW CanCon, I prefer Tape II to Tape I



Happy Valentines Day
I luv you!

sowee!

Dear Chevrolet Cavalier,

I know you have taken too much abuse since we've been together, and for that, I'm sorry.
You haven't had an oil change.  You get run to shit.
Your tires haven't been filled.
You always say "check engine," and I never do.
I kick you sometimes when I'm mad,
    or slam the door really hard.
You got too much junk in your trunk.
Your alignment is all fucked from when we biffed out in the snow.
And you're perpetually riding check gages
    in regards to both gas and coolant.

Anyways, I'm really sorry.
But could you do me a solid and retain the coolant I put in you!
I'm buying two jugs at a time!! 
I know it's cheap, but you know I'm broke!

Your deadbeat bud,
Alicia Williams

01/10/11 Jay Reatard

So!
JJan. 10/11 I did a Jay Reatard tribute show because he's still great and it had been (almost) a year since he died! 
I played: Angry Angles, Bad Times, Destruction Unit, Final Solutions, Lost Sounds, Nervous Patterns, The Reatards, Terror Visions and quite obviously, solo Jay Reatard.


I didn't realize Sour and Vicious Man was a Compulsive Gamblers cover!  I can't stop listening to it (tonight)

Stolen Organ Family Band Show!!!!

We (Me, Tawnia, Jason, Mathew) went and saw the Stolen Organ Family Band last night at the Railway Club - we didn't have money, so they let us chumps in for free!  Despite the creeperrr door guy the night was spec-tac!  I've known about this band since their inception and having been a loving acquaintance of theirs for years, but this was the first time I've ever seen them in action.

They went onstage with an electric acoustic, a Casio keyboard, a blue suitcase, what appeared to be a Fisher Price toy and a shitload of distortion pedals.  Everything got played!

Their performance was delightfully schizophrenic; alternating between charming harmonies and mellow-upbeat folksy acoustic, to complete distortion and red-faced screaming.  It was fucking intense!
It was just Kelly and Conor at this show, usually there is an Ari or a different guitarist - when I heard this I was actually super disapointed, but they are incredible together!  Kelly is freaking adorable, Conor pretends to freak out on her, and it's a total riot of entertainment, check them out for sure!

Best Hits to hear live: A Horse Don't Need Whisky (no more), Baby What's Your Phone Number, Plums, Here Comes the Baby

They're playing another show on the 17th at the Biltmore, and they're playing in Kelowna on Feb 5th!
Maybe I'll see you there, but I'm super brokes!
their myspace.
radio 3
their bandcamp
their fanpage


Stop listening to Mother Mother and listen to something real.

I watched that stupid movie about the Germs and now I like them, but the movie sucks


Sorry I was still so groggyyy from having my wisdom teeth other side removed on the 28
next week'll be better, I guess



I also have shit news to tell you:  most of or all of my show will be pre-recorded from now until April....
I'm so fucking sorry!  I blindly registered for courses without checking when they took place!
Normally when seeing such an error I would drop the course/not take it to begin with
but I'm already registered and I had to get special permission to entree, so, we're fucked!
