Your Nature @ The Annex 09/09/09

Your Nature (formerly Frankpollis) returned to play their first show at the Annex since their month-long residency there this past May. The band was confident and comfortable in the venue that they, by now, know so well. They even came complete with their lil posse of female hotties who bounced and sang along front and center, to hits such as "Cherokee Blood" (which some of us know as a Lux Perpetua Look Alike original) and "Triangle Eyes." But it wasn't their hits that stood out at this show as much as it was the new tracks they performed, "Slow Summer" and "Good Face." Both tracks show how the band is truly evolving from Frankpollis to Your Nature, and the markedly growing presence of Mr. Malcolm Perkins. The Pixelwhores feel this is a sign of good things to come for Your Nature. Can't wait to see what these guys do next.

Check out the band's myspace and more vids of the show to come.

ALBUM: Jackson Emmer - PEN-PAL

There is a familiar youthful longing throughout Pen-Pal, the new album from Jackson Emmer that we were lucky enough to receive straight from the handsome devil himself. Childhood memories like "If you weren't seven years old, you would have shown me yours and I would have shown you mine," make frequent appearances. Emmer describes his latest musical endeavor as a group of songs that "are all based on human correspondence. They are inspired by distance, separation, communication and reunion." As a whole, the album can be characterized by a lone banjo and sprawling vocals, peppered with some super raunchy lyrical bits that verge on eroticism. ("The space between our sentences becomes erect, and starts to poke us at both ends, beginning and behind, stiff as the silence.) It's those delightful, almost inappropriate surprises that make Emmer's music more than just nostalgic pining for childhood.

Download/stream it here and also be sure to check out the Open Face Record Collective and all their awesome artists, such as the delectable divas of Mountain Man.

Here's "Was It Winnie" for your streaming pleasure.

"Come watch me bleed, I need you more than ever."

By the by... if you dig Jackson Emmer, then we've got a hunch you'll also really dig Horse's Mouth.

ALBUM: Jay Z - Blueprint III

Blueprint III leaked. I have a hard time reconciling the whole anti-autotune hypocrisy shlameel. Does it make you a shitty artist and all-around testicle-less fuckface to use auto-tune or not?? We must know! The albums starts out strong with "D.O.A" third and is followed up tightly by "Run This Town," but then later at least three tracks out of the total fifteen have auto-tune on em. Ohwellwhatever, as long as he isn't "T-Pain'n too much." Goofy discrepancies aside, he's still a handsome fuggin beast. If you don't want to download the leak, you can stream it legally here (via MTV). M'eh. The footage of Jay and Beyonce at the Grizzly Bear Jelly show is arguably more entertaining:



Oh wait... No it's not. Well this is better, for sure:



You're right, Bill. Otis Redding, he ain't. He's also not Stevie Wonder, Louis Armstrong, or Ray Charles. Silly white people like you and me have a habit of mistaking many beloved black musicians for one another. Oh man, I really wish he'd said, "A regular Chaka Khan, isn't he??"



LET'S HEAR IT FOR NEW YORK, NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

Duuude this party was totes sweet. I saw Mischa Barton (she said rehab was fab, btw, and she did NOT look fat...) AND the dudes from Real Estate! The bassist - you know, that dude from Alex Bleeker and the Freaks - tooootally signed my boob, after some serious convincing. I'm serial. For cereals. THEN I bowled a 320. Rage!
So, I was too busy bowling and missed Real Estate's set, (FUCK!), but I guess it's cool cos I gots these:
