HOT OFF THE PRESS (#19) – DJ/rupture & Peter and the Wolf

It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time for Nick Courtright’s weekly first glance at music discovered in the last seven days, whether it be just-released, just-leaked, or some long-lost gem that has remained under the radar.  Click here for other recent editions of Hot Off the Press, featuring acts such as Deerhunter, TV on the Radio, Deerhoof, Cold War Kids, of Montreal, Juana Molina, Crystal Stilts, Final Fantasy, Peter Bjorn & John, White Denim, and Grizzly Bear.

DJ/Rupture – Uproot

released October 7 on Agriculture
Report Card: B+

Pasting together swatches of 23 diverse, seemingly random, and very-much-someone-else’s songs could make it seem like DJ/rupture, known to his mother as Jace Clayton, is a plain thief or merely yet another mashupologist who captures the familiar and repackages it in smile-worthy fashion.  But despite the fact that he’s utilizing the source material of others, a technique prone to aping and obnoxiousness, there’s a simple kindness to Uproot, as if Clayton’s working to amplify the gorgeousness of the originals in a tributary tapestry, rather than simply trying to make a buck off of stolen beats and the electronic excitement that is the fade-out and fade-in.

Of Montreal Fun Facts:

*Of Montreal has recorded nine studio albums, from Cherry Peel (1997)
to Skeletal Lamping (October, 2008).
*Of Montreal likes to combine happy upbeat melodies with sad, gloomy,
somebody shoot me now, depressing lyrics. They're awesome!
*Kevin Barnes's love of theatre and comedy is reflected in his live
shows. That coupled with the amazing music makes it very special.
*Since the release of Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (2007,
which is fabulous by the way), Barnes performs as his on-stage glam
rock alter ego, Georgie Fruit (which is fabulous, by the way).
*Of Montreal gained a lot of popularity with the MTV clip for "Wraith
Pinned to the Mist (and Other Games)", which can also be heard as that
damn Outback steakhouse jingle...we still love you.
*If you haven't seen a live show then,...hahaha, you haven't? What?
Now that's just silly.

IMPORTANT INFO!!

Transmission is ecstatic to present the annual Fun Fun Fun Fest.

Here's some important information you'll as you head down to the event in Austin's beautiful Waterloo Park (so pay close attention, as there will be a test afterward):

THE FESTIVAL PARKING MAP
Since Waterloo Park is downtown, parking is pretty limited.
Here's a map of all nearby parking garages (first come, first served parking garages are in purple), in case you're driving:



GATE TIMES
Each day, gates will open at 11:30am and music stops at 10pm.


CARPOOL
This is highly encouraged, as (1) global warming is currently taking place and (2) parking around Waterloo Park will be limited.


BIKES
Ride your bike. It's easier, you'll get more exercise, and the Earth won't hate you.


BIKE RACKS
Lots and lots of bike racks will be available right out front of the festival gates on Trinity Street.


AGES
The festival is all ages, but if you plan on drinking, you'll need to present a valid ID at the gate. KIDS UNDER 10 YEARS OLD GET IN FREE.


FILMING
We will be filming both the acts and crowd on both days of the festival. Please be aware that, by walking through the festival gates, you're saying "I'm okay with being filmed." The video footage will be used for promotional purposes only.



AFTERPARTIES

See ya there.
