Dear listener, this week I feel compelled to bring Tumblr a little slice of music from the Silversun Pickups, who, despite my best and most concentrated efforts to despise their sound, have managed to become endearing to my nearly non-existent heart. Regardless of my sincerest attempts to stop listening to them over a decade or so, this group is SO GOOD at what they do I just cannot manage to quit revisiting their catalog without a semi-religious consistency after being hooked by their intoxicating post-punk sound, and the complete experience that they have to offer. In terms of atmosphere, overall personal resonance, and contextual vibe… I keep returning to this band almost exclusively for their ability to manipulate my gloomy heartstrings like a melancholy violinist on a well-tuned violin. Smash play just above for Lazy Eye from their 2006 debut album, Carnavas, and if you want more, scroll on down.

True story: I tried to hate this band for about two years after I had discovered them (2015 or so). Looking back; I was immature, brash, a little punkass bitch. Also, true story, I have personally determined that hating them is impossible, especially after the emotional ride they have managed to provide for me in my limited time on planet Earth. I have realized that this dialect of rock music just isn’t for me, and still come back for more. They’ve got a lead male singer (Brian Aubert) whose voice registers as feminine to my ears and an overall sound that I would plainly describe as sonic. As of writing this musical recommendation, color me humble… their music is rabid and fervid with beautiful lyrical poetry, genuine passion for their craft, and a unique ability to bring me to the points of my knees just by being sincere and making songs about universal moments. This is a rare musical gem that I enjoy adoring, despite the nature of the force that formed it. The name of the group is derived singularly from the fact that the members early-on in their career picked up their alcohol from a store called Silversun Liquor… making it a Silversun pickup. Further, this group originally had not one, but two romantically involved couples in the lineup. When both couples broke up around the same time, and two members left subsequently, it nearly destroyed any future collaborative work… until around 2006 when they established their permanent lineup and released their first album which went gold by industry standards. I do honestly enjoy their earliest works more so than their later ones, as they had a knack for making me listen to shoegaze without actually wanting to open a vein in the process. Later on, they let their badass lady bassist, Nikki Monninger, take the lead vocal reins and they’ve even rubbed shoulders with industry titans like Butch Vig and Alan Moulder on the production end. Further on in their production cycle (2015-2022) their albums take on a newer, more mainstream sound that still feels groovy but also seems somewhat overproduced to me… as is the nature of getting in bed with music industry big wigs. But hey, that’s no sleight coming from me! I’ve got my headphones on right now and even their overproduced recent stuff is markedly better than approximately 91. 9999% of modern music. I just prefer their earlier stuff, which is why I will dovetail this post with There’s No Secrets This Year from their 2009 album Swoon!

This is a musical group I enjoy very much in spite of the type of music they make. Outside of a few bands here and there, I don’t even think I really like listening to rock music that much at all these days. SP makes my chest feel like it’s full of glitter and silly string, all while causing my head to bob up-and-down uncontrollably at the same time. Great job SP: your tunes actually make me feel something, unlike the rest of these indie/alt rock jabronis. Image source: https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-silversun-pickups-2426

I'm perfectly content with MGS being over. In our current media/business landscape, we are unlikely to ever get closure like this again. BUT PLEASE KOJIMA COME BACK, WHY DID HE STICK THE AUDIO JACK IN HIS OPEN WOUND?

As a veteran as a sound tech for around eight years (for context small churchs), I can say I have picked up some pet peeves.

Professional pet peeves:

-messed with good intentions

Oh BOY... I have worked with two churches and while I was much younger than most of the sound team(I was an apprentice to my mom and sister), it seems that some people can't get by the image of a small frail girl hauling cord being an issue. Listen. If I want you to help, I will ask. Stop messing with my power cords, XLR cables, or even the sound board itself. I have been trained, you have not.

-chasing away the folk

I have picked this up from my mom, but since I have officially become the one sound tech for my church, the older people in the congregation like to wander over to us and tell us how to do our jobs (my mom does video and the stream). Can't tell you how many people we have had to chase off. Please don't swarm your sound techs. We need space to troubleshoot without elbowing your nose.

-troubleshooting the troubleshoot

Thankfully I haven't had to do this as my current church is currently renting, but the other church rented out their building to other churches. Now normally this isn't a problem, but when I kept finding sliders broken or entire machines missing, you get annoyed. Please only use your things. Your church paid good money to use them, don't sell them off, especially if they ain't yours.

-lastly, asking last minute

This is more for streaming or the computer side of the audio video team. My mother (not a Saint, but boy she may) has horror stories where the song of some person almost bricks the computer because they bring in a corrupted flash drive, they bring in a tape when we no longer have a machine to play them, or some pastor appearing right before service and dropping a bunch of verses and then disappearing. She actually wanted me to mention, please send all files at least the Wednesday before so we can make sure everything is working.
