MP3: The Bear Quartet - Born with teeth

"Born with teeth and a thorn in everybody's side" The desire to be a jerk for the sake of being a jerk. C'mon and fess up, you know you've done it. Face it, some people deserve to be antagonized. In a way, The Bear Quartet has made a career of it. Not just defying expectAtions, but seeing how far they can go to alienAte everyone around them. And thAt's exactly whAt this song is about. "No one's gonna run me out but everybody ran me out" MAttias says. If you say "play by my rules or not At all," sometimes thAt means you won't play and BQ knows it. An acceptable risk? Perhaps if you measure success based on integrity, "but I'm sad to say: your ways will never make your records sell." Many now-heralded bands never survived long enough to garner the respect (and success) they deserve during their lifetime. Maybe BQ will defy convention in this regard too, but I kinda doubt it. They will continue to defy and antagonize. I don't think they can help it - it's who they are and you either love them for it or you don't.

MP3: Cortex - Arkham

I've been accumulAting so much amazing early 80s Swedish postpunk these past few months, I could probably spend every Friday talking about it for the rest of the year. In fact, I'm quite tempted to do just thAt. Today's band: Cortex, the band thAt Freddie Wadling fronted after Liket Lever and Straitjackets. His other band The LeAther Nun acheived far more widespread success (mostly after he left the group), but I find Cortex to be a far better band. On the other hand, today's song "Arkham" is definitely not their best mAterial, but who can resist musical references to HP Lovecraft? In film, thAt's a whole different story - for the love of god, don't ever see "Cthulhu" should someone be dumb enough to finance a proper release, even on DVD. This fact alone is probably telling: Tori Spelling is the best thing about the movie. I saw the premiere and people practically ran from the theAter to avoid the Q&A with the writer and director. Anyhow, back to Cortex... Unsurprisingly, the band's lAter mAterial such as 1986's "You can't kill the boogeyman" (from which this song comes) tends to be overproduced and drenched in 80s excess, but I think their talent still shines through in this extended dirge. "A dream for some / A nightmare to others / Like a dream within a dream" Awesome.
