new fitness single, EP out Sept 11 on godmode

[entergodmode-deactivated2017071]

Raised Mormon, born under Scorpio. A fierce working-class domestic goddess. She sang the National Anthem at a Padres game, terribly, and when the people booed she grabbed her crotch and spit on the mound. 61,971 votes in the 2012 general presidential election – sixth overall. At 16, she was hit by a car that left her with a traumatic brain injury, and her behavior changed so radically that she had to be institutionalized. She posted George Zimmerman’s home address on Twitter, encouraged the beheading of guilty Wall Street bankers, and hosted her own talk show. From what I understand, Lady Tiresias lives in Hawaii on a 46-acre macadamia nut farm. Gradually losing her eyesight, she says. Expects to go blind.

BREEDING PROGRAM - NO TIME FOR 69

from AMERICAN MUSIC

It’s 2am, they got Game 6 of the ‘93 World Series going on ESPN Classic, and I’m nursing my fourth cosmo when suddenly I get a text from Nick. He says he’s working on something huge.  Controversial. The hottest take. There will be think pieces. The Internet may run out of megabytes before all’s said and done. I tell him he’s out of his freakin’ mind. Then I tell him he’s a goddamn hero.

The fact is, no one has ever actually done a 69. It’s physically impossible. A myth. Some fad cooked up by big global brands to sell deodorant and hamburgers to millennials. Even if it were real, there’s no way it’s enjoyable for either party. Forget where you put your hands–who’s on top or bottom? Do you flip a coin to decide? Or maybe you’re doing it side-to-side? Wouldn’t you just giggle the whole time? It’s 69ing. And what’s the rush? What Fortune 500 company are you CEO of? I mean, whatever happened to taking your time and doing a job right in this country? Take turns!

As for where you put your hands, I’ve heard the butt or back of the thighs will do just fine. – ADAM

GODMODE PRESENTS ‘AMERICAN MUSIC’ [LISTEN]

They got this place two blocks past the post office, I want to say it’s downtown. A red rooster’s painted over the front door. Or maybe a hammer. You know the bar? Wood floors, big speakers. I don’t remember the gig. I don’t remember much of...

2014: Roundup • Albums • Songs • Sounds

This is the fourth annual collection of my favorite sounds of the year. It’s my favorite list to do by a long shot.

As in years past, I’ve pulled out the sounds from their songs and lined them up in the audio file above. The full list with descriptions is below so you can follow along.

(Previously: 2011 and 2012 and 2013)

I have more than twice the number of sounds from 2014 than in previous years, and the attendant audio collage is more than thirteen minutes long. Enjoy!

Oh, and I’d love to hear what you think about this collection or if there are moments that stood out in songs for you this year. You can find me on Twitter at @matthewmcvickar or email me or drop a note in my Ask box.

The list:

Andy Stott — Violence Chorus-ending snare fill. Low-frequency near-silence before the drop.

Anenon — Lithograph Pitched-down pad with corresponding pitched-down vinyl crackle.

Angel Olsen — Windows Snare buildup to finale.

Aphex Twin — Xmas_eve10 (thanaton3 Mix) Rubbery vocal sample. Bongo triplet.

Ases Falsos — Symmetry Bursting into the chorus.

Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks — A Sender “OHHHHhhhhh-h-h-h-h!” pitch-decay delay.

Baths — Fade White Echoing clicks and pitched-up-and-panned guitar artifacts.

Bing & Ruth — We Are on the Side of Angels Echoing rumbles.

Bombay Bicycle Club — So Long, See You Tomorrow Bombastic ending.

Call Super — Hoax Eye Digital thunder.

D’Angelo & The Vanguard — The Charade Reverse-reverb to clap.

EMA — Satellites Back-and-forth of white-noise drone and analog bass drone.

Grouper — Labyrinth Microwave beep.

Gunnar Haslam — Incidental Magnetics “—between—an organism—”

Hundred Waters — Innocent Muffled snare duplet. Rising vocal run with boomeranging whoosh.

Ian William Craig — Before Meaning Comes Heavily degraded, crackling vocal loops.

Interpol — Anywhere Weird high-pitched voice doubling “be kind to the bass.”

James Blake — 200 Press Bell knocks. Three 6 Mafia sample + minor-key arpeggio + “latenight— latenight— latenight.”

Jamie xx — Sleep Sound Drum fill and “come on.”

Javiera Mena — Otra Etra “Aohh.” And you can hear it again later, heavily reverbed in the background.

John Roberts — Indigo Pitched-down sword-clash sample? (Sounds like it’s saying “Look-look at me.”)

Koen Holtcamp — Between Visible Things Guitar-string shriek.

Lee Bannon — NW/WB False ending and distorted reverb outro.

Mono/Poly — Alpha & Omega Noisy hi-hat.

Moonface — Daughter of a Dove Weird distant-yelling noise low in the mix in the right channel. And the crescendo into chord change. (And a lot more.)

Nicki Minaj — Pills N Potions Slight quaver at the end of “overdosin.’”

Notwist — Kong Drum fill.

Objekt — Dogma Snare drum accents.

Orcas — Filament Time-stretched loop with rhythmically repeating sections.
