That headline will probably bring us all kinds of unwanted Google traffic, but it is imperative that we support these brave young women.

What they don't say when they scold us about the work ethic
Some insights on how prosperity really happens (or doesn't):
No More Mister Nice Blog points out the obvious: we could be heading in the same direction here, especially if we keep asking the wrong questions.
...I visited a group of Haitian mango farmers a few years ago. Each farmer had no more than one or two mango trees, even though their land lay along a river that could irrigate their fields and support hundreds of trees. So why didn’t they install irrigation pipes? Were they ignorant, indifferent? In fact, they were quite savvy and lived in a region teeming with well-intended foreign-aid programs. But these farmers also knew that nobody in their village had clear title to the land they farmed. If they suddenly grew a few hundred mango trees, it was likely that a well-connected member of the elite would show up and claim their land and its spoils. What was the point?

What you gonna do for an encore?
Got some more videos from the 2006 X-tal house party:
"Stating The Obvious Again" was a direct response to the GOP convention/hatefest of 1992 and the then-recent loss of a few close friends to the AIDS virus. A pushback song for all of us on the receiving end of the "family values" jackboot. Shouldn't be, but it's still timely. Betting, and hoping, that 20 years on we will again be able to say:
"The inquisition has just been cancelled for lack of interest.
Too many people would rather fix the holes in their own roofs
Than fight a Holy War."
(UPDATE) Complete lyrics, by request:
My friends are scattered all across the continents
They're searching for the satisfaction they deserve
Some of my friends have died in pain you can't imagine
Now they're gone for good
I've heard you tell the nation, it's all their own fault.
Don't tread on my loved ones
Don't you even try
Don't toy with our anger
We've got the right to live
Don't threaten good people
Don't trivialize their lives
Don't spit on our values
We've got the right to love.
Pursuing happiness and thrills, we've taken risks
We don't need scum like you to tell us
How to suffer for it.
You sit in offices and churches making speeches
While in the streets, men with clubs and knives
Are out enforcing your philosophy of life.
The Inquisition has just been cancelled for lack of interest
Too many people would rather fix the holes in their own roofs
Than fight a holy war.
Ah, the ghouls will lick their wounds and slink away
You know they'll be back.
Toss out what you've been told
And you have to improvise
You have to rely on your desire, your heart, your conscience
I salute anyone who can make it through the night
If others don't approve of what they see
They can kindly step away from the window.
(I salute anyone who can make it through the night
Someday I will again.)
Plus, "Encore"!

This ball is square
The ongoing collapse of the right wing is more than I ever could have predicted. One thing these people always had going for them is message discipline, not to mention the deep pockets to back it up. Now the masks are falling off along with the wheels. If we had a strong, unified progressive movement in the US, we might be able to do something with this momentum. Maybe when President Warren is inaugurated in 2017 we can truly move away from the cliff.
The amusing part is seeing the "sensible centrists" bemoan this COMPLETELY NEW extremism in the Republican party that we have never, ever seen before. Oh how, oh how could we have come to this unprecedented point? HA! 'Twas always thus. Check your history. They've just lost the ability to wrap it in the economic and militaristic "grownups in charge" window dressing they used to know how to use.
I hope these guys stay on this hobby horse the rest of the year. The worst thing would be if they rediscovered their Machiavellian shrewdness and remembered how to win in November. I remain confident right now that, without their BFF Osama Bin Laden releasing scary videos every few months, the public is no longer enthralled with this bunch and their transparent authoritarianism in "freedom" drag.
Keep on crowing boys. Your overconfidence is going to bring you down.
UPDATE: Oh, but he's SORRY! Isn't that enough?
(Also, ain't nobody who can deconstruct the fools as deftly as the mighty Cerberus.)

You and I have seen what time does, haven't we?
Also, in the world of life and death, a decent, if sometimes cloying, pop performer sadly popped his clogs this week. Davy Jones was, of course, more a TV star than a musician, but somehow at the end of the Monkees' original run, he managed to write this excellent song (that also features Neil Young sitting in on lead guitar). Remember him like this.
The Full Disclosure Principle, Revisited
We just discovered the "spotlight" feature on Soundcloud. We'll be alternating favorite albums or songs periodically so you can see new things when you visit Ear Candle's Soundcloud page. Currently we are putting The Full Disclosure Principle (which in all but name is really the Granite Countertops' debut) up front. Check out the cover of Leonard Cohen's "Democracy".
Terminal apoplexy
"Spending your final hours on earth yelling at people with your thumbs. Wow, that was a life well lived."
UPDATE: The man is gone, but what he stood for lives on. But what about ACORN? They must have had something to do with this!
UPDATE UPDATE: The Rude One speculates on an appropriate afterlife scenario.

Going down in frothy flames
Oh this year's general election is going to be so much fun. I can't wait for the first debate.
Here they are, sitting pretty on piles of cash thanks to the obscene Citizens United decision, kings of their own Alternative Reality Media Empire, and what have they got to show for it? Andy Kaufman's greatest prank has now become the frontrunner, and with Obama doing militarism better than Dick Cheney ever could (due to the fact that, right or wrong, he actually prefers killing off terrorists to shaking them at us like glowsticks), the wingnuts are left with an agenda of destroying union jobs and taking away our birth control. It's going to take a hell of a lot of election fraud to make this a winning strategy, not that they won't try. But the way it looks right now, all I can see is overreach, and it's giving me a warm glow inside. It's all falling to bits, gloriously.

The Santorum campaign is what happens when the old zombie ideas — cut taxes; deregulate — are so worn out even the candidates are bored with them.
Ain't nothin' but a house party
We have finally begun to edit some of the footage from the X-tal reunion in 2006, and we found that the house party set we played at the old house on Frederick St. was even better than the actual gig at the Rickshaw Stop the night after.
It's really for someone other than me to make the judgement, but I remain convinced that we were underrated. Evidence of this is still available.

Four chord wonders
I saw this video in my Critical Study Of Pop Culture class today. The teacher put it on while he was talking about Theodor Adorno, which is funny in and of itself:
Made me wonder, have I ever resorted to this particular "I-V-vi-IV" chord pattern? I can't think of any examples, though "Stating The Obvious Again" by X-tal rocks a "I-IV-vi-V" progression, which is close. But that was supposed to be a Big Rock Anthem, and I borrowed the chords to Tracy Chapman's "Talking About A Revolution" for that one anyhow.

Putin Got Scared
Seen this yet? A masked Russian Riot Grrrl band called PUSSY RIOT, who set up in unauthorized places and perform high-energy protest music against the current regime. Apparently, this song's title translates as "Putin Got Scared". (Musically, it sounds a lot like the Subtonix' definitive cover of the Screamers' "Vertigo", all agitated, pounding forward motion.) They were arrested for performing without permission in Red Square. (Two members were fined 500 rubles each.) This is the kind of daring confrontational spirit that punk is all about. More info on Pussy Riot here:
In the months since their formation, the eight members of Pussy Riot have perfected their own form of protest: their songs are pithy, angry missives, largely directed at Putin, and they remain beguilingly anonymous – the band wear neon balaclavas to conceal their identities and perform flash gigs in unexpected places: on public transport, for example, and, once, on a prison roof. In mid-January, they pulled off their most audacious show to date: performing on a platform in front of St Basil's Cathedral in Red Square, opposite the Kremlin: "Revolt in Russia – the charisma of protest," they sang. "Revolt in Russia, Putin's got scared!" It was the shortest of performances, only minutes before the authorities hauled the group away, but the point had been made.

Rebel rebel, your face is a mess.
Last night on TV, I caught Sarah Palin, with her eyes rolling around in her head even more than usual, bellowing, "Annoy a liberal and vote for Newt!" Funny how you don't see much of that on the other side, e.g. "I support Elizabeth Warren because she'll REALLY piss off the conservatives!"

Uncomfortable conversations
Having spent 30 years making music that's largely ABOUT uncomfortable conversations, this article really struck me. If "indie rock" isn't challenging in any way, why bother? Also, the writer conveys why the faceless smugness of Pitchfork has always bugged me:
"In Sufjan Stevens, indie adopted precious, pastoral nationalism at the Bush Administration’s exact midpoint. In M.I.A., indie rock celebrated a musician whose greatest accomplishment has been to turn the world’s various catastrophes into remixed pop songs. This is a kind of music, in other words, that’s very good at avoiding uncomfortable conversations. Pitchfork has imitated, inspired, and encouraged indie rock in this respect. It has incorporated a perfect awareness of cultural capital into its basic architecture. A Pitchfork review may ignore history, aesthetics, or the basic technical aspects of tonal music, but it will almost never fail to include a detailed taxonomy of the current hype cycle and media environment. This is a small, petty way of thinking about a large art, and as indie bands have both absorbed and refined the culture’s obsession with who is over- and underhyped, their musical ambitions have been winnowed down to almost nothing at all."

Andy Kaufman is not dead.
He faked his death, changed his identity and has been perpetuating a decades-long political prank under the name "Rick Santorum".

I always loved that one Poles single from 1978, but I knew absolutely nothing about them until Davis found this link and this video. Hope you're having a great life, Michaele Jordana, wherever you are.

Moon So Bright
Great new video of a long-out-of-circulation Angel Corpus Christi song that somehow never made it to her "The 80s" CD. Nice primitive animation. Good to hear this one again.
Noodle Brain Productions: The Integrity Tone Scale
Davis Jones has just posted the second episode of Noodle Brain Productions' 2006 TV show on Youtube. It's an educational program exploring the Integrity Tone Scale. It also gave birth to the Experimental Bunnies, who first assembled to provide the musical score for the show.
Now playing in four parts:

Ear Candle Radio: The Ghost Ship Sails On
We made a startling discovery recently that, even though we ostensibly closed down Ear Candle Radio for a while, it's still up there, but only available for Live 365 VIP subscribers. We can't edit the current stream in any way until we restart our account. We can only turn the stream off or on right now. For our friends with VIP subscriptions, we're going to leave it up. There's loads of good stuff to enjoy there until we come roaring back at a later date with an all-new playlist.
The Wall Talks Back
As of yesterday, I am now ORIENTED! In January, I start my first semester in the Broadcast & Electronic Communication Arts department at San Francisco State, and had my final final at City College.
One of the best things I did this semester was this project for Sound Recording Studio class, where I did a special dub mix of "Talking To The Wall" by a young local garage-rock band, The Sweet Bones. Oh, for my own C24 Pro Tools mixing console! There is a terrible shortage of insane dub mixes of rock songs that I would love to remedy.

Cool movie about ringed planets and how they work.
I confess, I do get a twinge of childish amusement at the narrator's attempt to make "Uranus" sound less obscene by pronouncing it in an equally obscene fashion. Some things are better left alone. Anyway, check out these amazing graphic depictions! I love me some astronomy.

Announcement!
After seven years of broadcasting on the intertubular airwaves, Ear Candle Radio is going on indefinite hiatus. It has been a magnificent time and a rewarding experience sharing our own unique vision of radio with all of you, and we will be back again one day. In the meantime, we are stepping up production of our own music, and building our Soundcloud page, where you will soon be able to hear everything we've created, and be the first to catch the latest bits of culture that the Experimental Bunnies and the Granite Countertops have in store for you in the new year.
Come around for one last listen before the moving vans roll in.
Keep watching this space. We have plans.
Love,
Neo and Davis at Ear Candle Productions.

Tangle of matter and ghost
The Conspiracy Of Beards, with guest vocalist Amy Tobin, do a breathtaking rendition of "The Window" at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival on Oct. 2 in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Davis Jones and Hilary Fielding ran the cameras, Davis did the editing, and J Neo Marvin tweaked the audio a bit.
