Toaster Full of Women

Side note: Hey, if it's you, would you please stop killing all the great soul singers out there?

>> Featured Artist: Laura Veirs

Well, Ms. Veirs opened up last night in Alexandria, Va., for last week's Toaster Artist, the always-charming Colin Meloy. Who can pass up an artist whose name is a sentence?

Her set was about 30-percent really solid songs like "Spelunking"; 45 percent of material that mostly just set a nice mood for the evening of glassed singer-songwriters singin' 'round a non-existent campire; and the remaining quarter of songs that decayed into a self-indulgent loop pedal exercise (seriously, leave it home, Laura. We'd rather just hear you sing normal-like).

"Spelunking" (off Year of Meteors) really grabbed the Toaster with its pretty fingerpicked geeter and Veirs' lush, layered vox that reminds us all of Kathleen Edwards. Preliminary research reveals that spelunking is some sort of outdoor activity. More on this to come...

Cat Power - Released: Jan. 24 on Matador

Apparently, Jan. 24 was the day to release an album, as all three of the Toaster's Album posts thus far were released from the artists' womb last Tuesday. Cat Power has always been treading water, keeping her head afloat, in the Toaster's lush catalog of MP3s we don't listen to enough. And now she's broken loose.

A holiday monetary gift was exchanged for the pink, shiny album this week and has once again proved that file-sharing can lead to album sales -- not just homeless musicians.

"Could We" is on this new release, which features a title that is simultaneously a little confusing and seemingly pompous. All we can say is this is the best lazy-Sunday album of the year thus far. Put your Norah Jones comparisons away; Cat Power deserves better.


>> Reverting to: 1969 (again)

"After Hours" - Everyone who's ever started a band because of The Velvet Underground's first album probably would have also put this at the tail end of a mix tape -- you know, in the way "Her Majesty" put a nightcap on Abbey Road.

It's our favorite song to sing late at night or when the curtain's going down or when someone left the dishes on the living room table (maybe due to the "wine glass" lyric...?).

>> Featured Artist: Colin Meloy

Not only did Colin Meloy pen book-nerdiest and best album of 2005, The Decemberists' Picaresque, he also shares his name with a buddy of mine (the last names are differently spelled). And when Mister Toaster talked to him after The Decemberists' 2004 Cleveland show, he had yet to meet another "Colin Meloy." Yet another life altered by the trivial input of The Toaster!!

Sure, a Decemberists concert is not to be missed, but The Toaster and DJBryan got a chance to catch Meloy on his solo tour last winter at Iota in Arlington, Va., and signed a written pact -- scrawled on bread with deli mustard -- never to miss a solo Meloy performance. Naturally, when it was announced he was playing another gig in Arlington next Saturday, the usual suspects decided to honor the pact (which was later consumed) and jumped onto the Internets to purchase tix. "Charlie" is a track off Meloy's tour-only release, Colin Meloy Sings Shirley Collins!

The Elected - Due out: Jan. 24 on Sub Pop

Last week, The Toaster posted the first of the two Rilo Kiley solo efforts being released Tuesday, and upon further listening and agonizing, decided The Elected's sophomore effort also deserved a shout out.

The Toaster doesn't have a distinct favorite song yet, so it decided to post the most intense Bright Eyes-like of the songs floating out there, "Not Going Home." Love the harmonies on the verses.

>> Reverting to: 1969

"Helplessly Hoping" - Not much to say. Pure beauty here from the harmony masters Crosby Stills & Nash's self-titled debut, which is being re-released Tuesday. This song was a friend's fave, and now it's one of ours.

You Crazy Swedes! A First (Real) Post

So, the first real post yields lots of pressure to deliver. So, naturally, The Toaster Talks turns to what we're comfortable with.

>> Featured Artist: Jens Lekman

From our favorite quirky Swedish indie guy who has a name as equally intimidating as "Sufjan Stevens." How does Jens follow up a smashing compilation of his best releases from 2003 to 2004*?

By quitting. In November, that crazy Jens officially went on hiatus, all the while hinting it wouldn't be permanent. And guess what? On December 31, Jens announced that "Jens Lekman is back in business" and that "nothing can bring me down right now. NOTHING." Gotsta love that crazy Swedish indecision/quick recovery.

"Black Cab" reminds The Toaster of The Velvet Underground. Perhaps it's all the mentioning of parties. Or Jens' dry delivery which can be likened to an accent-laden Lou Reed. Or maybe it's just that we'd love to hear Nico sing this.

Kudos to Sister Katie, who was a good year ahead of everyone else on this, as she often is.

* sans "You Are the Light," which is sadly left off the album.

Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins - Due out: Jan. 24 on Team Love

The Toaster Talks tried to resist the hipster, white-middle-class-cool of Rilo Kiley, but got reeled in on Execution and now The Toaster is primed for what will be a month of two Rilo Kiley solo efforts -- this album and Blake Sennet-fronted The Elected's follow-up to Me First, Sun Sun Sun (also to be released Jan. 24 on SubPop).

Everything we've heard from Rabbit Fur Coat sounds like Jenny Lewis hasn't missed a step and the Watson Twins' harmonies and background delight greatly complement Lewis' attack-the-mic-then-sing-pretty style.

"You Are What You Love" sounds at first pleasingly like a More Adventurous outtake, but the well-crafted lyrics have made this an instant Toaster favorite.

>> Reverting to: 1978

"No Action" - What's not to love about the way that Elvis Costello and the Attractions start out This Year's Model? hat else do you expect from the way Elvis is peering menacingly on the cover?

It's 2:01 of flailing intensity and biting lyrics and single-handedly can wake The Toaster out of any funk (something very few songs aside from Survivor's "The Eye of the Tiger" can do). The Toaster Talks hereby coins the term: "No Action" rush. Flail along with us.

The Year That Was: 2005 - Part VI (5-1)

Note: The Toaster Talks will post the entire Top 100 songs and the Top 10 Albums of the Year tomorrow. These songs, as opposed to earlier songs on the list, will be available for download for a few weeks.

The Decemberists | “We Both Go Down Together” | Picaresque

There is hardly a lull on this masterpiece recording by our favorite literary indie rockers. From songs about maritime vengeance in the “belly of a whale” to slightly veiled digs at the war to romantic epics about treason and spies to this Romeo and Juliet-esque ode centers on what now might be criminal sexual assault (“You wept, but your soul was willing”?). It makes no difference which Meloy-penned track you choose - “We Both Go Down Together” just happens to be the Toaster’s favorite - this is the best album of the year.

The Mountain Goats | “Broom People” | The Sunset Tree

John Darnielle performs like a younger, much more cognizant (but equally as fragile and intense) Brian Wilson. His semi-autobiographical The Sunset Tree proves once again that every subsequent Mountain Goats release can be seen as an improvement on the last. There’s a refined aspect to the songwriting, the delivery of the vocals, the subject intensity (it’s an album about child abuse) that just wasn’t there on We Shall All Be Healed. The succinct passion that is front and center on “Broom People” leads the Toaster crew to deem Darnielle at least the singer-songwriter of the year - if not that of the post-Elliott Smith generation.

“Half-eaten gallons of ice cream in the freezer, fresh fuel for the sodium flares. I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral-ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair, I am a babbling brook.”

Sufjan Stevens | “The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is out to Get Us!” | Illinois

This marks Sufjan’s third appearance in the Top 30, a feat unparalleled for what not the album of the year (it’s a close second, docked by the wayward instrumentals and the fact that this is not the last song on the album - it’s a no-brainer!). “Predatory Wasp” is Sufjan’s lush arrangements, diary-like lyrics and staggered momentum at its absolute best - indeed, it’s a close second to the No. 1 song of the year.

Devin Davis | “Giant Spiders" / "The Choir Invisible” | Lonely People of the World, Unite!

Anytime a song comes around that makes you sing along and love the world, no matter your mood, its importance cannot be overstated. To the Toaster, Devin Davis has made a perfect record on this one (especially when paired with “The Choir Invisible,” which acts as Giant Spiders Part II). It started out as the song of the summer, discovered - as so many songs are for me - by Bryan, who featured it on an impressive June compilation. It ended up soundtracking our favorite moments of the year - road trips, post-concert/party cool-downs, power hours, July 4th roof parties (note especially the fireworks in “Choir”) and oh-so-many sing-alongs.

“There’s a dirty sock in my hair; I don’t remember putting it there…”
“But if we’re curled up behind some thick, lead wall, we should be fine if we can survive the GIANT SPIDERS! No I won’t sit still til I’m upside-down in the back of your eyes. Lonely people of the world, unite!”

Andrew Bird “Fake Palindromes” Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs

From an artist whose M.O. is being all over the place and an album recorded in the same vein, “Fake Palindromes” feels so focused. The stop-start pacing strings us along from the get-go. We want to sing along, and hold hands and sing:

…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead “Worlds Apart” Worlds Apart

The brashest, most irreverently political pop song of the year. You’d think we’d flinch at the 9/11 reference: “How they laugh as we shovel the ashes of the Twin Towers!” but then again, this band has never really been one to mince words. I must also recognize that the children reacting with cheers and laughter to the lyrics adds a nice touch; they single-handedly took this song to the top.

Sufjan Stevens “Chicago” Illinois

The road-trip song of the year, off of Sufjan Stevens’ 50-state project. Is it his voice or his blunt lyrics that makes this song so emotional for us?

Stars “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” Set Yourself on Fire

Stars have a knack for creating vibrant, danceable music. The pounding of the bass and the drums. The twinkle of the keys. The driving rhythm of the guitar. The lead hook being played on a cello. We’re not sure which of these elements makes the tone perfect for a dramatic post-breakup song. And we don’t know anyone who has had enough of Torquill Cambell’s voice. Her stage performance freaks us out, but that’s why they invented eyelids.

Eels “Things the Grandchildren Should Know” Blinking Lights (and Other Revelations)

The capper of his two-disc autobiography, “Things the Grandchildren Should Know” has the weighty obligation of bringing things to a close. And, if this is E’s farewell to the music business -- a rumor the man denies (but, then again, he also denied being MC Honky) -- we can’t think of a more perfect way to remember him.

Nada Surf | “Armies Walk” | The Weight Is a Gift

From its Moon-ish drum intro to the shouted “Armies walk! Inside of me!” chorus to the Beach Boys ode at the coda, “Armies Walk” is nothing short of our suggested personal anthem for 2005. For all of you.

Devin Davis | “Cannons at the Courthouse” | Lonely People of the World, Unite!

Upon first listen, Devin Davis’ dream sequence “Cannons at the Courthouse” seems to start to unravel when it brings smoking reefers with Willie Nelsonon the roof of the White House into the narrative, just as it seems to continue headstrong into lyrical grievances with Wal-Mart and Starbucks. But as the song recovers and builds into a cohesive, it becomes clear that Devin Davis has taken his audience for an energetic indie-rock ride. While the multiple movements alone each contain elements of genius, they together prove to be something of a sacred song for the ADD kids.

Ryan Adams & the Cardinals | “If I Am a Stranger” | Cold Roses

We’re going to stick with Ryan Adams first release of 2005 on this one. For the occasional, not-so-dedicated fan, his rate of output is just plain hard to keep up with. Adams is at his best when he sticks to straightforward jangle country rock. “If I Am a Stranger” reminds us all just how good his hooks can be.

Chris Martin needs to lay off the falsetto. Again, it’s the understated beauty on “Til Kingdom Come” that brings the song to near-perfection.

Calexico & Iron and Wine | “A History of Lovers” | In the Reins

Iron and Wine’s second 2005 EP, the product of a partnership with Calexico, manages to outdo the first. Calexico’s tight, intricate backing tracks beefs up Sam Beam’s song stylings in a way his solo efforts avoided (even the more filled-out Woman King). The full band always stops well short of overpowering Beam and gives us all our pedal steel fix for the day.

Fiona Apple | “Tymps (The Sick in the Head Song)” | Extraordinary Machine

Now that Fiona has been “freed,” she’s back six years after her brilliant sophomore album When the Pawn... with slightly revamped versions of the album leaked last summer. “Tymps” is the exception, a song absent from the original leaks to the Internets, and one that has such locomotion that it somehow brings order to the rest of the album, which had sounded somewhat schizophrenically compiled.

“And that signature thing that used to bring a following I have trouble now even remembering.”

Death Cab for Cutie | “Marching Bands of Manhattan” | Plans

We’ve all had enough of Death Cabbies jumping off the bandwagon once it made a stop at the O.C. Plans is a better-than-decent album that fails mostly in its inability to match the cohesiveness of Transatlanticism, but it is half-full with gems like the tone-setting opener, “Marching Bands of Manhattan.” Say what you will, but we’re human and we’ll cave to Ben Gibbard’s voice on top of that spacey organ any day.

Eels | “In the Yard, Behind the Church” | Blinking Lights (and Other Revelations)

E is the king of personal masterpieces. Blinking Lights may be the most inexplicably overlooked album of 2005; nine of its 33 tracks received nominations in the Toaster’s 2005 Best Of process, but it seems to have been forgotten in most critics’ end-of-the-year honors. “In the Yard’ may not be representative of the work as a whole, but it shines easily on its own as it plunges the listener from its delicate, bell-tinkling verses to its driving, lush vocal-less choruses.

Rufus’ little sister Martha Wainwright seems to have also inherited the family’s gift of bringing its personal problems into the public spotlight via song. The Toaster isn’t quite sure just who Martha’s singing to, but the muscle in her voice and the way she spits out “for you-whoever you are” lets us know she means it.
