CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE - A firm believer in truth in labeling, Owen Ashworth's one-man outfit Casiotone for the Painfully Alone delivers clipped tales of love, ambition and resultant misery set to drumbeats likely preprogrammed into the keyboard on which he plunks out simplistic, inexplicably catchy melodies. "It Wasn't the Same Somehow," a you-can't-go-back-home ditty from CFTPA's brilliant 2003 release Twinkle Echo (Tomlab), laments a bunch of stuff that essentially isn't as good as it used to be; the song is comprised of, by this writer's count, three chords, one of which doesn't come in until the bridge. Yet you'll find yourself kicking up a cloud doing the Peanuts dance. You'll mope along with Eleanor and her Dear Jane letter on "Hey Eleanor," and grin knowingly at the Smiths-cribbing "Toby, Take a Bow" ("Heaven knows you're miserable now," Ashworth sings). A recovering filmmaker, Ashworth populates his yarns with rotting hipsters and struggling Gen-Xers. We find them so compelling because we kind of know all these people; hell, most of us are these people. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
NO KIDS - No Kids, a trio, follows the Canadian indie rock legend of brilliant multi-instrumentalism and seamless stylistic variance. Their latest record, Come Into My House, ingeniously melts heavy rhythm&blues-like beats, bright bossa-nova percussive styles with traditional chamber instruments. The result is a whimsical and cinematic yet minimalist and clean sound. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + EVERYTHING NOW - Indianapolis stalwart's, Everything Now! will be releasing a new CD on this evening. These gents have been a household name in Muncie in the recent past with stage-show de triumph. With several releases under their belts, several tours around the US, and a lineup that's changed more than most can remember... their music is interestingly magnificent, rock-ed, and amazing.
