We all know about what a lazy, miserable excuse for a holiday this is. You don't even get the day off work and yet you have to plan and scheme and try and woo your significant o±er who, if your relationship is based on any kind of solid ground, gave up caring about large sweeping gestures a long time ago. Right? Okay, so maybe I'm a little anti-Valentine's Day. Maybe I've lost that loving feeling. Maybe it's gone, gone, gone, and I can't hold on. Oh, whoa, oh. However, I will say that I have a good excuse for this stance and that it's rooted deep in my shriveled up queer little heart. Yes, I am a homosexual. This fact, coupled with the no-good holiday that is Valentine's Day, has troubled me to no end 1,200 people as well.

    Stop Smiling Magazine :: Interviews and Reviews: Film + Music + Books ... http://www.stopsmilingonline.com/story_print.php?id=1097 Downtown Dedication: The Return of Polvo (Touch and Go) Monday, June 23, 2008 By Dan Pearson We could have flown out of Newark, landed in Charlotte, and just hit a barbecue spot in Reidsville, but this was after all the Polvo reunion and it deserved more. We needed to feel as if we were making the descent, notice the disparity in New England and Southern spring, endure interminable DC traffic and feel that we had earned our ribs and slaw. So, I packed the Malibu with I-Roy and U-Roy, stomached $4 gas and my friend Bose and I left from Connecticut in a rainstorm, both of us in fleece. Night one we spent at a Ramada in Fredericksburg, never made it to the battlefield or historic downtown, but instead drove down the divided highway to Allman’s BBQ. I’m wary of food blogs, but the culinary scribes were dead-on: best ribs I have ever had outside Texas, enviable pulled pork and slaw, notable sauce in the squirt bottle — all in an old corner diner with spinning stools. What a foundation, not only for the evening, which consisted of ice cold tap Yuengling and inebriated dancing to Def Leppard in the Ramada lounge, but for the show to come. Just a stateline south, yes, Polvo, the seminal math rock quartet, reunited at their Ground Zero, the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro. In the morning, it was only better, the slow slalom down Route 40 country roads leaving trails of red clay and another barbecue platter at Short Sugar’s in Danville, Virginia.

  • Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene
    NIGHTLIGHT: TRADITION AND CHANGE IN A LOCAL MUSIC SCENE Aaron Smithers A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum of Folklore. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Patricia Sawin Michael Palm ©2018 Aaron Smithers ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Aaron Smithers: Nightlight: Tradition and Change in a Local Music Scene (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) This thesis considers how tradition—as a dynamic process—is crucial to the development, maintenance, and dissolution of the complex networks of relations that make up local music communities. Using the concept of “scene” as a frame, this ethnographic project engages with participants in a contemporary music scene shaped by a tradition of experimentation that embraces discontinuity and celebrates change. This tradition is learned and communicated through performance and social interaction between participants connected through the Nightlight—a music venue in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Any merit of this ethnography reflects the commitment of a broad community of dedicated individuals who willingly contributed their time, thoughts, voices, and support to make this project complete. I am most grateful to my collaborators and consultants, Michele Arazano, Robert Biggers, Dave Cantwell, Grayson Currin, Lauren Ford, Anne Gomez, David Harper, Chuck Johnson, Kelly Kress, Ryan Martin, Alexis Mastromichalis, Heather McEntire, Mike Nutt, Katie O’Neil, “Crowmeat” Bob Pence, Charlie St. Clair, and Isaac Trogden, as well as all the other musicians, employees, artists, and compatriots of Nightlight whose combined efforts create the unique community that define a scene.

    Dave Segal Interrogates Ash Bowie of Polvo - Music - The Stranger, Seat... http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=665791&mode=print September 4, 2008 MUSIC Dave Segal Interrogates Ash Bowie of Polvo On the Avant Rockers' Decade-Long Hiatus, Not Blowing Up, and Wonky Guitar Sounds Polvo, Trans Am and guest at Neumo's More info » What prompted you to re-form Polvo, besides Explosions in the Sky asking you to play All Tomorrow's Parties? It was really the ATP invitation that got us to re-form. We never ruled out playing together again, but previous opportunities did not work for everyone, logistically. The timing of this ATP was good for everyone, and we actually had enough advance notice to practice a few times. We all felt that the material was sounding good; hence the decision to book some U.S. shows and keep it going. Aside from your Libraness project and contributions to Helium, Dave Brylawski's involvement with Idyll Swords and his and Steve Popson's time with Black Taj, what else have Polvo members been doing since the split? I play bass in current Polvo drummer Brian Quast's band, the BQs. Brian and I have also recorded a bunch of my own newer songs, but haven't finished them. I have also recorded and played a few shows with Fan Modine, a band/project led by my friend Gordon Zacharias. Around the time of Today's Active Lifestyles and Celebrate the New Dark Age, I thought Polvo were going to be big... Sonic Youth big.

    Pitchfork: Polvo's Ash Bowie Talks "Reformation" http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/50001-polvos-ash-bowie-tal... Polvo's Ash Bowie Talks "Reformation" More U.S. dates added Photo by Ashley Worley As a member of Polvo and Helium, singer & guitarist Ash Bowie helped paint the indie rock landscape of the 1990s. Following over ten years of silence, Polvo return to the stage in May, but don't call it a reunion. Bowie prefers the word "reformation." He told us as much when he answered our questions over email. In addition to clarifying terms, Bowie explained why former Cherry Valence drummer Brian Quast has replaced original Polvo drummer Eddie Watkins and gave us insight into the rehearsal process, the band's history, and the possibility of a new record. Pitchfork: After a decade of inactivity, why has Polvo reunited now? Did the reunion come about purely as a result of being asked to play Explosions in the Sky's ATP, or was this something you guys had thought about and discussed previously? Ash Bowie: We never actually ruled out playing together again, but this was the first opportunity to do so when the timing seemed good for all of us and when we might realistically have enough time to get together and practice. We definitely wouldn't be doing this right now if Explosions in the Sky hadn't asked us to play. The ATP festival is something that we, as music fans, think is pretty cool, and we're definitely lucky to be a part of this one.

Still, it is a little disconcerting at first, hearing that low ominous voice over the telephone, speaking from his Tennessee cabin, discussing the weather or reading off the address for his House Of Cash management office. "This is on album I've always wanted to do," he says of American Recordings. "I even had a name 25 years ago for this album, it was going to be called Johnny Cash Alone. Years later Ithought about it again and wanted to do an album like this, and call it Johnny Cash Up Close. But this same concept has been in my mind since the early '70s." About his first meeting with producer/label head Rick Rubin, Cash recalls, "I liked the way he talked. Because right off he said, 'I'm familiar with most of your work, and you know what you do best.

The 1980s had witnessed a more or less subliminal process of deconstruction of rock music: angular melodies, irregular rhythms, strident counterpoint. The instruments and the line-up were consistent with the stereotype of rock'n'roll but the result was almost antithetical: brainy, un-hummable, depressing and mostly instrumental. During the 1990s this form of intellectual rock was recognized as a major vehicle for the message of a musician, the same way that a memorable melody had been the main vehicle for most musicians of the 1960s. The influence of Sonic Youth was perhaps the most visible. Mostly unknown during the 1980s, Sonic Youth came slowly to represent "the" quintessential alternative band. An even more "alternative" act, Pussy Galore, was a close second. No surprise, then, that a few of the new leaders emerged from those two bands. Bewitched (1) were formed by Pussy Galore's drummer Bob Bert, and recorded a boldly experimental work, Brain Eraser (? 1990 - jul 1990). Jon Spencer's wife Cristina Martinez led Boss Hog (1), that re-invented party-music first on Cold Hands (? 1990 - nov 1990), featuring Honeymoon Killers' bassist Jerry Teel and Unsane drummer Charlie Ondras, and then on Whiteout (? 1999 - aug 1999), both clever revisitations of rock stereotypes.
