It was announced on Wednesday that Scott Miller had died. Scott who? He was hardly known in the US; he was virtually unknown in the UK. He was also a brilliant songwriter, and a fascinating writer about songs. He turned 53 the other day, and now we'll never hear another note or read another word from him. These are the kinds of rock deaths that really sadden me – the ones of the people who lived lives just like ours, ones without limos and hotel suites, the people who never left music because they couldn't, not because they couldn't afford to. I associate Miller's music with the pre-web age. In particular, I think of the group he led from 1981 to 1988, though I didn't hear them until 1997. Game Theory – terrible name, though appropriately nerdy – were from California, and played powerpop, of sorts: melodic guitar pop with sharp and funny and sometimes moving lyrics, overlaid with with what Miller described as "my usual obnoxious vocals". They were one of those groups who, in the UK, you might sometimes see passing reference to in the NME or Melody Maker or Sounds, usually courtesy of some American interviewee. The specialist fanzines – Bucketfull of Brains – would write about him, but only the genre committed were digging that stuff out. So Game Theory, during their actual existence, were no more than a rumour to me. They became a reality in March 1997, on my honeymoon, when I picked up a couple of secondhand cassettes from Wuxtry Records, in Athens, Georgia: one was Game Theory's final album, Two Steps from the Middle Ages. The other was a best-of, called Tinker to Evers to Chance, which stayed on the car stereo for the rest of the holiday, and which has sleevenotes that revealed his take on pop – both detached and thoroughly involved: "Like the Beatles, I've somehow managed to write lyrics a lot of people think have hidden meaning to be deciphered, but I've done it without any of the burdensome worldwide superstardom the Beatles had to put up with." I hammered that tape of Tinkers to Evers to Chance until owning a cassette player ceased to look like a viable way to consume music. I don't think anyone would call it perfect – it's rooted in its time, sonically, with some shocking aesthetic choices. But, boy, could Scott Miller write a song, blissful confections of what life as a young adult meant. Every time I went to the States in the subsequent years, I tried to track down more Game Theory releases, often with some difficulty, since the band's perpetual failure to transcend what Miller himself described as "national obscurity, as opposed to regional obscurity" meant the music was usually out of print. After Game Theory, he formed another group, Loud Family, whose song Inverness became a constant on any mix tapes I made (I could never shake it's blissfully miserable chorus hook: "I've bet you've never actually seen a person die of loneliness"). But, truthfully, I didn't pay as much attention to them as I had to Game Theory, and Scott Miller rather drifted from my mind. That changed again last January, when I wrote a little blog about the Game Theory song Throwing the Election, and received a couple of days later a copy of Miller's book Music: What Happened? It's a brilliant, brilliant book, one of my favourite music books. Its premise is simple – Miller picks his favourite songs from every year since the inception of rock'n'roll and writes about them. He makes no bones about the fact that his favourite music has guitars and melodies (though he embraces hip-hop and R&B as the years pass); he prescribes the best way to listen to songs (Led Zeppelin, for example, demand vinyl); he sometimes insists the song only works in an edit he diagnoses. But every word is filled with passion for music – it's the work of a fan, but a fan who understands how songs work and how recording works, and who wants to share that knowledge. I thought I'd found my excuse to pick his brains this spring – I'm working on a piece about many of the California musicians he worked with, and had been thinking about dropping him a line. He's not central to their story, I just wanted to hear him talking about music and his friends and the things they did together. It's maybe fitting to end with the last entry to the 2011 edition of Music: What Happened. I hope we might get a posthumous 2012 listing, but if not, these words about his favourite song of 2011 are a worthy reminder of how music can consume us. My thoughts go to his family and friends. Scott Miller on Romance by Wild Flag. My number ones aren't always grand finales, are they? A lot of times they're sensitive or innovative, but that's different. Wild Flag's Romance is a little sensitive and a little innovative, but it's mostly grand finale. It starts off somewhat deceptively as a sequenced synthesiser line and builds a melody-line vocabulary using mostly the history of girl groups as raw material. (The members have been in A-list groups themselves, though if you're like me the flipout is that singer Carrie Brownstein is the girl in Portlandia.) It's certainly not their only trick; another excellent song from the album, "Endless Talk," evokes a different, more new-wave and slightly more male pop history tracing through the Cars back to Buddy Holly, and sometimes they don't seem to be caring about history at all.
