Another year gone by!” I hope 2011 didn’t suck too hard for anyone. Regardless, I hope 2012 is way better than 2011, though unfortunately it is our last year ever since the world is scheduled to end. I read that somewhere, so it’s totally true.

Last year on New Year’s Eve, Jose made sure our intimate group of loved ones gathered to celebrate the turn of years agreed upon a choice song to play right at the start of the new year. We chose, “Everything in Its Right Place” by Radiohead. At twelve midnight, we dropped the needle on the record and allowed that haunting song to set the tone. Now that I look back, I can see that that particular  song was kind of prophetic for 2011, and I think choosing a song carefully to start your year is a swell tradition. (Thanks, Jose!) So in light of this, I would recommend all of us do this tonight. Choose your first-moments-of-the-year song carefully (thank you in advance if it happens to be by B&TB). Tie it to your hopes and dreams. Let it represent where you would like to go or your favorite way to feel or whatever … No rules. No judgments. Even if your song choice is this:

Whatever floats your boat, dude. Love and light always. -Bernadoo. And for no reason, here is a drawing of a turtle dove.

Cults – “Go Outside”

My friend James showed me this video and it absolutely blew my mind, and that was before I had even seen the full PBS documentary about the Peoples Temple. This video does use a bit of new footage (which at first I didn’t realize, hence the absolute mind-blowing) but mostly borrows from the film with some bits of really successful syncing. This video was responsible for getting me to mail in a Netflix DVD that had been collecting dust on my TV stand for like four months so I could get the Jonestown DVD. Uh, the song is also good! (although I can’t help but be reminded of “Lola” by the Kinks)

The subject sort of says it all. Although I will just say…part of me really hates when people record what will ultimately become a shaky, low-res video with blown-out sound while they could be taking in a show with their ears and eyes…part of me loves the fact that I can easily find some documentation of every event I’ll ever attend…

New Band of 2011

BOBBY – http://www.partisanrecords.com/artists/bobby

Vermont-based experimental folk band featuring members of Mountain Man (which is also an experimental folk band, perhaps most notable for being a part of Feist’s most recent touring band).Read the bio that explains their name to find that BOBBY (the band) appears to serve Bobby (a fictional character in need of accompaniment for his “sad dances”). It’s like BOBBY : Bobby :: Ween : Boognish.

The cover art was what drew me to this originally. It turns out the artwork is taken from a book by Keith Smith called Bobby, that just happens to be about an “imaginary friend”…although according to Wikipedia, the “story” of the band was written before the band happened upon the 1985 art book. Yeah, sure…Wikipedia…

Anyway, just listen.

“Friend Crush” – by Friends
A song so goddamn catchy and youthful

Friends is a band from Bushwick who got together casually during the bedbug epidemic in the city and became kinda famous in five minutes, or so that’s the story. Their single “Friend Crush” has been stuck in my head since first listen. There are a few reasons why I like this number: lots of space in the arrangement, a very cool bass line, a simplistic keyboard hook with some lush synth layers that flush it out toward the end, and a melodic, echoey girl vocal, particularly memorable on the choruses. (That’s what choruses, should be right, memorable?) Though I think what I like best is how understated the lyric is: “I want to be your friend. I want to ask your advice on a weekday. I want to plan something nice for the weekend.” But this lyric coupled with the particular melody over which it is sung suggests something else, like “If we don’t make right now, I’m going to die.”
