This is pretty amazing.

I wonder if a tweet where I admit how much I like Captain Beefheart will make the followers skyrocket even more! http://t.co/1yqlwYAless than a [...]

Janitor

April 21, 2011Henry Baum 1 Comment »

It’s been a while since I posted any music here, putting stuff on Treeash Music. But you don’t get more sci-fi than this:

All action is reaction
Expansion
Contraction
Man the manipulator
Underwater
Does it matter
Antimatter
Nuclear reactor
Boom boom boom boom
Who’s your mother
Who’s your father
I guess everything’s relative
I’m a janitor
Oh my genitals
I’m a janitor
Oh my genitals
Oh my genitals
I’m a janitor
All action [...]

Deconstructing Sgt. Pepper

December 1, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

I am so totally obsessed with isolated tracks that I’ve started a blog devoted to it.  I had the impulse to post everything here because it’s all amazing, but that doesn’t make sense, so: studiomultitracks.com.

Sebadoh

November 23, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

Nice to tribute to Lou Barlow and Sebadoh here.

Experiencing Sebadoh was, for me, not unlike the effect The Beatles might’ve had on a kid in the front row in the early ’60s: watching each member trade instruments and exhibit their own style under one banner of musical freedom in what seemed to suggest a boundaryless [...]

Mash-Up

November 15, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

For some reason, I find some mash-ups extremely moving. It’s like the melding of consciousness. Sounds heady for something that’s sort-of a joke, but there’s gotta be a reason I’ve listened to this over and over again. They’re both classic rock, but they also both satisfy a different part of the brain, [...]

Jim O’Rourke/Wal-Mart

November 11, 2010Henry Baum 4 Comments »

Women of the world take over, or else Jim O’Rourke’s going to have to sell his music to Wal-Mart to pay the bills. Jeeezus, this is depressing. Haven’t seen many things more apocalyptic.

Bad Religion

October 22, 2010Henry Baum No Comments »

Cool interview with Bad Religion frontman, and strangely erudite genius, Greg Graffin.
Graffin also has a PhD in zoology from Cornell.   When he is not on stage, he teaches evolution at UCLA.
Graffin is an atheist who doesn’t like to characterize himself as an atheist. “I bill myself as a naturalist because if you say you’re [...]

Police Truck

October 21, 2010Henry Baum 3 Comments »

This is excellent:

Putting it in perspective:
Tonight’s the night that we got the truck
We’re goin’ downtown gonna beat up drunks
Your turn to drive I’ll bring the beer
It’s the late, late shift no one to fear
And ride, ride how we ride
We ride, lowride
It’s roundup time where the good whores meet
Gonna drag one screaming off the street
And [...]
