wooden shjips
October 3rd, 2009just went to see the wooden shjips at the anza club on sunday night. they played with my friend spencer’s band von Bingen and Solars. what a great time! and they have become my newest obsession! i bought the album “Dos” at the show and have not stopped listening to it since!
below is the write up from holy mountain’s website which tickled me…
“How many music bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? None, computer screens are backlit. Here we have a Wooden Shjips record the world saw coming– not titled “II,” “Sophomore,” or “Second,” but “Dos.” The group maintains its strident pace like a silverfish rave in perfectly folded bedsheets, with more bounce per ounce as life goes jogging with bopping heads and digging heels. Five numbers whose style might fit as cozily at La Cave in 1968 as at Ibiza in 1988. Natural loops with just enough vocals take you where the khakis and the cut-offs play together.
“Dos” sounds off as the inauguration speech of a group accepting the minimalist psych bop crown that once adorned the likes of Neu! and Loop. If possible, their brand of whipping fuzz hooks have gotten groovier. “Motorbike” begins the program with an attack of bleeding organ and cicada chirps– a wiley, wheel-spinning cloud-kicker indeed. “For So Long” introduces the hip-swayed, shoulder-dropping dance steps of the album. At this point, the guitar delivers a concise Fogerty / Karoli vibe of stiff and loose kraut blues. Closing side one is the stop-motion go-go anthem “Down by the Sea.” Imagine yourself in the back of a cigarette boat with Alan Vega and Takashi Mizutani circling Easter Island. Smile as you melt under the glare of their mirrored sunglasses staring your own face back at you.
The needle drops on side two. Beyond the dawning of the age is “Aquarian Time,” a dense number that demands more weed and less booger-sugar. A steady plink of keys blipping like bright satellites in dark space accents this track’s blissed-out sludge. The hypnotic pop grace of “Fallin’,” the soundtrack for the last log on the fire as Winter eternally breaks into Spring, will stick in your mind until the record is played again on speakers of any size. “

WICKED WORLD
we have seen so many times before / we see no need to turn back now / we’re the world, the wicked world / marching to hell / we know what we’re doing / we’re marching to hell / come and join us have some fun / dance in joy beneath the neon light / we’re the world the wicked world / we do whatever we please / forget your cares forget your / sin is a wonderful disease / lie and steal, it’s alright / we have no worry for tomorrow / ’cause / we’re the world, the wicked world / we don’t believe in god / we don’t believe in anything / we find that idea to be rather odd / we pain ourselves as our bodies start to decay / we’re getting closer every day / we have seen so many times before / we see no need to turn back now / ’cause / we know what we’re doing, we’re marching to hell
DON’T ACT NICE
don’t act nice / i know who you really care about / that you think i’m weird / don’t you babe / tellin’ me i’m weird / with every word that you say / but that’s ok – i’m weird anyway / don’t act nice / i know who you really care about
