Listed: Water Damage
Tumblr media
Water Damage plays a thick and noisy variety of drone, favoring looooooong compositions that the band refers to as “Reels”; on Water Damage’s most recent LP, 2 Songs, you get two reels, subtitled “FUCK THIS” and “FUCK THAT” (band’s caps). All those verbal antics feel appealingly playful, but the music is deadly serious stuff — not surprising, given the players involved. Members of this septet also play in Austin-associated bands like USA/Mexico, Marriage and Spray Paint. As the band’s moniker suggests, the music is patient, persistent and often insidious. Here's some music the band has been listening to.
Travis Austin
Surface of the Earth — Surface of the Earth (1994/95, Reissued 2022 Thin Wrist Recordings)
youtube
New to me when it was reissued and the record I’ve played most since then. It feels as huge to me as it does microscopic — prehistoric as it does post-apocalyptic.
Jon Hassell — Aka/Darbari/Java: Magic Realism (1983, E.G. Records)
Start to finish, I don’t know of anything else that sounds like this — the hazy atmosphere and way the rhythms tumble. From the liner notes: “a ‘coffee-colored’ classical music for the future.” And the cover is by the same artist who did the cover for Bitches Brew.
Mike Kanin
Archie Shepp — Blasé (1969, BYG/Actuel)
youtube
I heard this one for the first time just this past year. I can’t believe I’ve missed it. By turns raw and beautiful, honest and evocative, what’s here transcends genre while highlighting Black experience and struggle. Incredible work.
George Dishner
Clipse — Hell Hath No Fury (2006, Star Trak / Re Up Gang Records)
youtube
The most engaging rap record in history as far as I’m concerned. Pusha, Malice, and the Neptunes peaked. Sonically HHNF is minimal and alien sounding, almost nonmusical at times. Lyrically, it’s bleak throughout and incredibly funny at times (some of the best punchlines ever recorded). At 12 songs and 48 minutes with only a few guests and skits, there is no fat whatsoever.
Remarc — Sound Murderer (2003, Planet Mu)
youtube
I’m always looking for cheap electronic records at every record store. Mid 1990s Jungle scores are the best. It’s a pretty narrow subgenre but one of my favorites. Remarc checks all my Jungle boxes — chaotic, lo-fi, dubby, rough. It’s devoid of any pretentious jazziness or techy soullessness. His formula is pretty basic — supreme mastery of The Amen and sick ragga Bass shit. This is a comp of some of his best stuff of the era when Jungle was at its best.
Nate Cross
Omertà — Collection Particulière (2022, Standard In-Fi, Zamzamrec)
youtube
Not to point out the obvious, but France is a huge influence for Water Damage. I’ve obsessively kept up with everything they’ve done and all their various related projects and their label Standard In-Fi. This is Omertà’s second LP; the group features members of France, Tanz Mein Herz, Societe Etrange and more. The album is a vibe, I can listen to it over and over. Really interesting to hear these folks do something more ‘song oriented’ instead of the normal long-form style in their other groups. Also, you can never go wrong with two bass players.
Bumblebee Unlimited — Sting Like a Bee (1979, RCA Victor)
youtube
Always been a huge disco nerd and Patrick Adams was a genius. This one-off LP and group was about as close to perfect as you can get and is a sort of bridge between disco and house music. So much glorious repetition on this album, and the bass lines are minimal brilliance. The chipmunk-esque vocals are ridiculous, but still work so well (similar to another 1979 disco gem — Bryan Adam’s “Let Me Take You Dancing”).
Jeff Piwonka
John Coltrane — Olé Coltrane (1961, Atlantic)
youtube
This is one of the first jazz albums I heard that had two bassists on it, Reggie Workman and Art Davis, Davis being a little lesser known I think and a really really amazing bassist. This whole album is great but the first side, 18 minutes of everyone going in and out, and there is space for the bassists to get weird with arco and pizzicato playing. I’ve known this album for a long time, but it’s been played a lot lately because both my 4-year-old and 16-month-old grab this record from the shelf all the time. It’s really strange actually, I put it in a different spot each time and they still grab this record very frequently, it’s a French pressing and Reggie Workman’s name is spelled “Reggie Wokrman” and Eric Dolphy is “George Lane.”
Greg Piwonka
Lungfish — Artificial Horizon (1998, Dischord)
youtube
Love this record, and the repetition is something that I often thought about as we were still figuring out Water Damage ideas. I feel like some of the newer songs that we are working on sound like extended Lungfish songs. Much of that has to do with the influence of this band on my drumming. There is a part toward the end of this interview where Daniel Higgs talks about experiencing repetition as a listener, and how there isn’t really a thing such as a repeated passage in time — that it’s unique every time… the listener is creating the pattern. That idea is foundational to me in relation to what we do as a band. Every time we play, I get lost and question how the pattern is even working.
Palace — West Palm Beach/Gulf Shores (1994, Drag City/Palace)
youtube
These two songs back-to-back are high on the list of my favorite things ever recorded. The mood here reminds me of all the rundown beach towns around the Gulf. The playing is great, it sounds like they just went in the studio and made it with very little effort. Many other recordings have that same vibe, Neil Young’s Zuma, Songs: Ohia’s Didn’t It Rain, John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme… this list could get long. I guess a technical term for that vibe is magic. I had not listened to this for a few years and returned to it recently and instantly loved it again.

Twenty Ways to Know...
If he really cares:
He tells you his REAL name.
He is honest about everything.
He would rather die than lie to you.
He meets you in REAL life.
He doesn't expect to sexualize you before knowing you in person.
He shares his feelings and emotions with you instead of keeping them bottled up inside, or turning to someone else for comfort.
He says good morning and good night.
He doesn't get mad over something you didn't understand because he didn't explain it. Instead of going radio silent for days, he helps you understand by explaining his frustrations.
He asks about your kids or pets or family because he cares about them too because he cares about what you care about.
He wants to know your details because he thinks your details are important...and he remembers them.
He doesn't expect you to be psychic or punish you mentally and emotionally for being non-psychic.
He asks what's bothering you rather than ignoring you.
He listens to what you say and applies it so that you don't have to repeat yourself for the rest of your life.
He doesn't use other women to hurt you.
He talks about how he feels instead of making you feel like you should know how he feels.
He doesn't have pride when he's with you.
He's not afraid to be himself around you.
He can talk to you about anything without it turning into an argument.
He doesn't cause you confusion.
He shows his love rather than just speaking it.

Gravitykenic
Tumblr media
Image ID: [A flag with navy blue, deep purple, and neon blue vertical stripes. End ID.]
A KEIN gender that is tied to the feeling of free fall, but not in a fearful way. The gender reflects the mysterious nature of the force of gravity, a great power that our current understanding of quantum physics can’t quite explain. As you fall, you’re overtaken by the greatness of this not-yet-understood force that in this moment that overwhelms all of your body’s senses, but at the same time, is the glue that’s keeping the universe together.
This gender is kenochoric in nature, and is related to the complexity of quantum mechanics, astronomy, scientific inquiry, and being awestruck at the unknown.
Please credit me if you repost the gender or flag anywhere!

Listed: The Spatulas — Part 1
Tumblr media
The Spatulas churn out uneasy jangle pop straight from the garage — or, more literally, the storage unit where the band met to play and beat back their pandemic frustrations. Their sound is built on blunt yet psychedelic melodies, chopping guitar, and rhythms that lurch then steady themselves. Assembled in various forms over the last several years, the Oregon-based quartet released March Chant, their first EP,in December of 2023. Alex Johnson found it “raw and charming…a full band record [that pairs] the relief at venting your anger and the goofy waywardness of distracting yourself with a joyful noise.”
Miranda's List: A bunch of songs that seem to make me me...
Mope Grooves — Look At The Time, 2018
youtube
Catchiest song ever. My friend Stevie made a bunch of wonderful music in her lifetime and was a beautiful person. Everything she put out on her label, See My Friends Records is great, and she included many of my fellow Oregonians on Mope Grooves albums. Our previous Spats drummer, Kyle closes out this song "Look At The Time" with that wave of nostalgic synth sound.
Pip Proud — De Dum De Dum, 1967
youtube
The original recording of this Pip Proud album is golden all the way through. I listened to this alone on a sheep farm in Oregon in the middle of rainy winter in 2021 and it influenced my writing a lot.
Nico — One More Chance, 1983
youtube
Nico at her most gothic rock. I love this echoey version — makes me wanna dance! The beat is great. Ambient synth sounds abound; her vocals incredible as ever... The origins of The Drama of Exile, her fifth album — so full of drug-addled dysfunction!
Pearls Before Swine — Playmate, 1967
youtube
One Nation Underground is one of my most listened-to records; the grooves are worn. I used to cover the opener song, “Another Time” pre-Spats, with my Partners, Buddies and Pals. “Playmate” is the upbeat, second song on the album, a cover of an old children’s song, which I think is perfect for me. “(Oh Dear) Miss Morse,” is another hit on side A, on side B it's “Uncle John” and “Surrealistic Waltz.”
Grace Slick & The Great Society — Often As I May, 1966
youtube
This song propels you along. It sounds so beautiful, like a traditional folk song, yet a Slick original. Great fun to sing along with this gal.
Lou Reed — Waves of Fear, 1981
youtube
Robert Quine’s guitar hits the spot, and with Lou’s voice and guitar, those lyrics — so hard!
Yoko Ono & Plastic Ono Band — Why, 1970
youtube
The most adventurous and exciting song ever. Yoko’s primal screaming, with John’s guitar wailing, and Klaus, and Ringo clipping along... WHYYYYYY????? A brilliant reminder to LET IT OUT.
The Bats — Made Up in Blue, 1986
youtube
Beloved. Great bass. The song that I think put this Flying Nun band on the map, leading up to another special full album, Daddy’s Highway from 1987, the year I was born. The accompanying music video is a treasure!
Broadcast — I Found The F, 2005
youtube
We’re so lucky to have the album Tender Buttons, and the band Broadcast. The album was made while singer Trish Keenan’s father was dying of cancer, six years before she herself died of pneumonia from swine flu. Knowing this makes it all the more eerily personal and sweet-sounding for me. Both my parents were dead by the time I was 32, so I’m familiar with making art as a response to grief.
Don Cherry and Organic Music Theater — Om Shanti Om, 1976
youtube
This is the full live performance at RAI Studios in Rome, Italy, for television broadcast. Listen to the ~47-minute album Om Shanti Om as much needed meditation. Imagine also all Moki Cherry’s tapestries in full color, as featured in the Blank Forms book I was so engrossed in last summer.

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
