Valentine's Day! The holiday hate of all holidays. February 14th doesn't always equal flowers, chocolates, and candle lit dinners. For some, it is another consumer-driven "holiday" with really no point and for others, it’s that bitter reminder of how much love sucks and how much we hate our exes.... My idea of a romantic V-day (being that I’m not really so)? Lounging in bed, eating, watching movies/TV, reading, and talking.
Breaking out another Spinner list... this time about it’s all about the Self Love ya’ll!
My Favorite Valentine's Day video....
Happy V-day !
Singers celebrate self-love in many ways: There are healthy songs about empowerment, ones that boast about one's perceived talents and physical.. umm, stuff, and then there are songs about, ummm, you know ... touching it and doing it, which I’m both of fan of thankuverymuch!
Being that Valentine's Day is upon us, I pulled together a list to show you that even the unattached, singletons can still celebrate that magical relationship -- with one’s self. ENJOY!
'Video,' India.Arie
After witnessing guy friends gawk over women in a music video, the folky soulster -- "not the average girl from the video" -- wrote this song about being content with her non-supermodel self. "My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes -- I'm loving what I see," she sang. This 2001 anthem for the ordinary even spoke to Oprah, who once declared, "We needed that song!"
'Looking Good, Feeling Gorgeous,' RuPaul
The title pretty much says it all. Our favorite 6-foot-4 drag queen first addressed the self-image concept with 'Supermodel (You Better Work),' a '90s dance club favorite that prompted those who had never before uttered the words "shashay, shanté" to utter them way too often. This one from 2004, heard on the hefty US reality show 'The Biggest Loser,' was an attempt to relive the 'Supermodel' glory, this time by appealing to non-models.
'More Than a Woman,' Aaliyah
This fits into "you-can't-handle-this" category, with Aaliyah singing, "I'll be more than a lover/More than a woman/More than your others." The "I don't think you're ready" line apparently didn't apply to R. Kelly, who married Aaliyah when she was just a teen, foreshadowing problems Kelly would encounter in later years. Aaliyah would suffer an even worse fate: Not long before this 2001 song was released, the 22-year-old R&B singer was killed in a plane crash.
'Get the Party Started,' Pink
Linda Perry, who fronted the '90s alterna-band 4 Non Blondes, was hoping to revive her career with a new record deal when Pink called her out of the blue and asked if the two could work together. Although Perry had never heard of Pink, she canceled a label tryout and wrote this 2001 dance ditty for her. While Pink says the song is nothing like her, it provided a great fit for Pink's kick-ass 'tude. The ultimate pre-party rally song, Pink sings about preparing to grace others with her "number-one superstar" presence.
'Blister in the Sun,' Violent Femmes
While some have argued this wasn't a song about masturbation, the line "Body and beats, I stain my sheets" doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room. And by the way? Ew. The Femmes, of course, knew how to capture teen angst, and this 1983 song provided a soundtrack for hormone-fueled frustration. This acoustic tune with a punk feel was around for a decade before finally reaching its -- ahem -- climax with '90s college students.
'U Can't Touch This,' MC Hammer
Either you love it or you pretend to hate it, but you have to admit: Hammer was on to something. Not only did this song bring rap into the mainstream in 1990, it also instigated a wave of boasting songs. Using the hook from Rick James' funk classic 'Super Freak,' Hammer pulled on a pair of parachute pants and shimmied into pop history with his ubiquitous video. Lyrics included boasts like "I'm dope on the floor/And I'm magic on the mic" and "If you can't dance to this/Then you probably are dead." We went right along, spontaneously bursting, "Stop!/Hammer time!" even when it made no sense to do so.
'Beautiful,' Christina Aguilera
Before Pink redirected Linda Perry's career path, Perry had planned to use this song for her own comeback. But Aguilera -- who was trying to appeal to more mature audiences at this point -- convinced Perry to let her record it in 2002. Of course, Aguilera probably didn't need to tell anyone she was beautiful, having recently posed nude for the cover of Rolling Stone. But she did need to shed the teeny-bopper image. In this song, she sings, "I am beautiful in every way." And if you don't believe it, check out the album cover -- she's not wearing a whole lot there, either.
'Ice Ice Baby,' Vanilla Ice
Where do we start with this one? The ticked-off Queen fans, the jealous rappers or the famous fall from grace? Written by a 16-year-old rapper, who sampled Queen's 'Under Pressure,' the Chilly Caucasian claimed to be the sort of rough and tumble, gun-toting ladies man he rhymes about. The self-proclaimed lyrical poet -- "word to your mother!" -- would soon be treated like a joke, but that didn't stop this one from becoming the first rap single to top the US charts, in 1990. Freddy Mercury is rolling in his grave!
'Superwoman,' Alicia Keys
Does anyone else think it's interesting when gorgeous singers write songs detailing how they like themselves for who they are? Even though she's not always perfect, Keys once told MTV, she's still a superwoman, and this Grammy-winning song from 2007 inspires her to "be however I am that day." What courage.
'Get a Grip on Yourself,' Semisonic
A lot of wanking songs are just coy enough to make you wonder, "Are they saying what I think they're saying?" Not this one. The alt rock trio who gave us 'Closing Time' in the '90s, opts out of subtlety and gets to the point in 2001 with lyrics like "I got a grip on myself/And it feels nice." A poppy, feel-good rocker, this is for those who find themselves alone at closing time. "If you're looking for someone to get a grip on you/First you need to get a grip on yourself," they sing. A therapist couldn't have said it better.
'Extraordinary,' Liz Phair
Known for her frank sexual lyrics and what the New York Times called "F-me feminism," Phair was a darling of the critics in the '90s, but she had fairly limited commercial success. Then she started posing for sexy magazine shoots, moved from an indie label to a major and reinvented herself musically with an album that was more Avril than Courtney. In this 2003 song, the narrator tries to persuade a man to love her, but the self-proclaimed "supergoddess" apparently likes herself more than he does.
'I'm Still Standing,' Elton John
In this 1983 song, John -- who had struggled with addictions, bulimia and low self-esteem -- seemed to be trying to convince the world that he was finally right with himself. Calling himself a survivor, the 70s star praised himself for sticking around. Of course, John didn't write the lyrics -- longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin did. And, in reality, John once admitted, the still self-loathing piano player was barely able to stand for the 'I'm Still Standing' video due to his drunken state.
'Me, Myself and I,' Beyoncé
As far as we can tell, Beyoncé's relationship with Jay-Z is pretty solid. But this 2003 song was written from the perspective of a woman whose man cheats on her. Rather than blame herself, the narrator chooses to love herself: "I took a vow from now on/I'm gonna be my own best friend," Beyonce sings. After leaving Destiny's Child behind and starring in 'Austin Powers in Goldmember,' Beyoncé released her first solo album, featuring this self-affirming song that makes use of all the first-person singular pronouns.
'Touch of My Hand,' Britney Spears
If you want to make that transition from teen to adult pop star, you can't go wrong with a song about self-pleasure. Of course, Spears was a sex symbol from the get-go, when the small-town girl donned an oddly sexy Catholic schoolgirl uniform and immediately burned herself in the brains of thousands of guiltily fantasizing men. Speaking of fantasies, Spears sings in vivid detail in this 2003 song: "The small of my back, the arch of my feet/Lately I've been noticin' the beautiful me."
'My Humps,' Black Eyed Peas
We never figured Charlie Brown's sister would grow up to become a sex symbol. But Fergie, who provided the voice of Sally in a couple of '80s Peanuts movies, quickly vamped it up once she joined the Black Eyed Peas. Here, she's not afraid to flaunt it, singing, "I drive these brothers crazy/I do it on the daily." Often panned by critics, some of whom took exception to the 30 or so times "my humps" is repeated, this 2005 Grammy winner is about a woman with a killer bod who uses it to her advantage.
'Dancing With Myself,' Billy Idol
Whether you think it's about dancing (no) or yanking (yes, yes, yes!), you can't deny that this is a song about being comfortable with yourself. 'Dancing' was originally released with Idol's punk band, Generation X, but became a hit in 1982 when re-released as a solo act. Speaking of solo acts, this ode to onanism concludes with Idol repeating "I sweat" faster and faster.
'Big Poppa,' Notorious B.I.G.
At first, the boasting was kind of funny, then it went too far. Notorious B.I.G. -- the man of many nicknames -- helped raise the profile of East Coast rap with his clever use of samples and his realistic depiction of the hustling street life he knew first-hand. This 1994 track, backed with an Isley Brothers sample, features Biggie Smalls rapping about his prowess with women, his hip-hop skills and his wealth. Other boasting songs were more aggressive, possibly prompting unknown shooters to take him down just months after Big Poppa's rival, Tupac Shakur, was murdered.
'Icicle,' Tori Amos
While it's always been controversial to write about self gratification, Amos took it at least two levels beyond the norm with this 1994 number. In one live version, she confesses to asking a classmate about masturbation as a child. Later, when she tried to talk about it with her father -- a Methodist preacher -- he told her he was ashamed of her. As the music begins, she sings of masturbating with an icicle while reading the Bible.
'I'm Too Sexy,' Right Said Fred
I can't believe this 1991 song didn't appear on the 'Zoolander' soundtrack. Brothers Richard and Rob Fairbrass, who once played acoustic folk music, were inspired by a friend to pursue dance rhythms. When they joked about the male models who worked out at the gym they managed, campy history was well in the works. Taking on the role of the models, the brothers shaved their heads and bared their chests for the video, declaring in a monotone voice that they were too sexy for just about anything they could think of -- shirts, cars, cats. Even this song.
'She Bop,' Cyndi Lauper
It makes sense that this 1983 song about autoeroticism would be released after 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun.' While the Catholic Church criticized her for it, Lauper told the Chicago Sun-Times it was tastefully done "so that a little kid would never realize what it was." Even a lot of adults didn't know it was about masturbation -- until someone told them, at which point it was obviously a song about masturbation.

Spending V-day (Singles Awareness Day) Alone? SWEET!
It's not a bad thing, really it's not..
Chris Illuminati- You are my hero!
Hairball-May the Rock be with You!
On February 11th Hairball will celebrate their 12th Anniversary with a fan appreciation show dubbed the "12 in'12" at the Doubletree hotel in Bloomington. Opening the show will be Rock Camp for Dads and another local favorite; Pop Rocks. Advanced ticket holders are invited to a personal meet and greet that will take place between 7-8p in the hotel lobby.
Who is Hairball? Well, if one hasn't heard of them already, this Minnesota-based band started out as a novelty; spoofing acts such as Heart, Whitesnake and KISS. In 12 years they’ve completely saturated the local music scene, they’ve gained an enormous fan base and made it their personal mission to present the public with the best rock n’ roll show as it was back in 70’s and 80’s. Conceived originally by former band member Chainsaw Caine (formerly of Slave Raider) Hairball has changed line-ups, added more songs, more lights, more explosives, and more snakes.. snakes? Yep, snakes.
The group features front men, Bobby Jensen, Kris Voxx, and new comer Joe Dandy who take on the personas of arena rock singers of the day. They alternate stage time, rapidly changing costumes between songs turning themselves into singing sensations such as Paul Stanley (KISS), David Lee Roth (Van Halen), and Steve Perry (Journey). Supported by human rubber band guitarist Mike “Happy” Schnieder, newly added bassist Randy “Freaky” Engebritson and drummer Blake “Colt Python” Seybolt they emulate hard-rock acts such as KISS, Van Halen, Journey, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, AC/DC and Poison.
If hard core arena rock is your thing, come out to the Double Tree hotel on Saturday, February 11th to celebrate the “12 in 12” fan appreciation show with Hairball and have your senses assaulted with a night of good old fashioned, butt shakin', hip swivelin', foot stompin', rock n’ roll!

More Than Lights-Plus MORE!
Where to begin is truly the question when it comes to the crew that is known as More Than Lights. You may have seen the group perform recently at the Cabooze, where they paired with hip-hop group Heiruspecs. This show sold out, as did the show before that at The Fine Line.Natalie Fine, Zach Combs (a.k.a. Big Zach), Unicus, Reuben Rodrigues, Matiu Unega, Corey Hess and Joshua Jellyfish make up what is known as More Than Lights. The group came together in full force in 2006, when the band formed into what it is today. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Natalie, Zach, Josh, and Corey for an interview in December.
Corey, Matiu and Natalie went to high school together at the Perpich Center for Arts Educations. Corey sounded excited to tell the story of how the group first got together.
“It was kind of a cool situation how the band technically became what it was," Corey said.
When talking about the bands beginnings, Corey explained that himself and Matiu were in a band at Perpich when the group The Three Kings sat in on one of their practices and liked what they heard.
“We finished playing our song and (Adam’s) like, ‘Man, you guys really sound great,’ and this and that and he’s like, ‘I’m just gonna throw it out there, I’m in a group called The Three Kings. Were opening for the Black Eyed Peas in two weeks, do you guys wanna be our live back-up band?”The band was eager to play their first live show. They worked with The Three Kings for the next year or so until the group opened up for Heiruspecs at the Quest Night Club in 2004, where Mat and Corey flagged Big Zach down and asked if Kanser would be interested in working with a live band. The next week things started to fall into place.
Corey was excited to say, “We put together a practice, or just kind of a jam session, to see how it felt and things just immediately clicked."
Natalie joined the group in 2006. That was when the sound of More Than Lights came into full fruition. The sold out show at the Cabooze on December 17th of last year is proof of just how much the band has taken off in the last few years.
Big Zach and Unicus are also in a hip-hop group known as Kanser. Big Zach explained that Heiruspecs and Kanser were at one point in the same group.
“I came up with Heiruspecs,” Zach said. “We were in the same beat boy crew when we were kids, but they were from St. Paul and I was from Minneapolis.”
The show at the Cabooze on December 17th, brought 1,200 people into the small venue. It was the second largest audience Heiruspecs has ever performed for. More Than Lights finally had the chance to perform as a group with Heiruspecs.
“I had been trying to talk them (Heiruspecs) into doing a show with us for a while and then after we sold out the Fine Line this year they were like, alright, yeah that’s hot,” Big Zach explained.
When asked where the group get’s their inspiration for the lyrics and music, Corey said,
Corey also explained Big Zach’s style of writing and lyrical expression.“Positive vibes and wherever we can find positive energy… and also just the type of people we’ve been surrounded by at Harmony Park and in our travels to different parts of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, around the area, all those kids that are like Harmony Park in their soul, if you will, and all those kids that have supported us and even in the hip-hop community too, that has just expanded throughout the mid-west. All the positive energy from them and from all the shows that we’ve done has just been fed right back into the music.”
“I think that’s a natural tendency of Zach’s right off the bat, is to be cool with just like sharing his life experience, and I think his threshold of what’s acceptable may be different than a lot of people's, but I think it provides for truth.”Natalie explained this in more depth. “People like hearing stories, and they can relate to it when it’s true.”
The team agreed about the importance of speaking about stories that are embarrassing or less desirable to share because it’s more truthful and real. As we all know, people get off on hearing about the hardships in other people’s lives. It brings the human connection to a deeper level when it is recognized that all people have problems.
Natalie added, “I can’t speak for Zach and Unicus, but I think generally the three of us write from a personal place and we write about our personal experiences first and foremost.”
Corey spoke, as a third-party viewer, about how unique he feels the chorus or feelings from a song are with three different perspectives thrown in the mix. Zach is from South Minneapolis, Unicus is from Haiti, and Natalie, who is also from South Minneapolis, has a Jewish background.
Natalie also spoke about the differences in age; genders and races as well.
“I feel like we’re pretty varied across the scale. All of us are from different backgrounds throughout the band and I think that’s something that really adds a special flavor to More Than Lights… We’re family."The group gets together at least two times a week to practice, which I can only imagine is difficult with everyone having daytime jobs, except Big Zach. Zach was proud to share that he does not have a daytime job.
Zach does, however, have another source of income with his recently published book, Headspin, Headshots & History: Growing up in Twin Cities Hip Hop, which was edited by Josh. Almost 500 books sold within 3 weeks of its December 1st, 2011 release.
A copy of this book can be purchased at the Electric Fetus, checked out at the Minneapolis Public Library or purchased from Zach himself. The group agreed that Zach was one of the first to start selling CD’s out of his backpack. It sounds like he is keeping the tradition strong.
More Than Lights has two albums out, both of which were recorded and produced by Corey. The first album, released in 2009, is a full length Album titled The Electronic Prescription For All Your Funky Illz. Two of these songs were featured on the season finale of “The Real World: New Orleans”.
The second album, Fun’s On Our Team, is an EP that was released on January 21st of 2011. The release party sold out at The Fine Line Music Café.
[jwplayer mediaid="868"]
More Than Lights - Fun's On Our Team EP Release Show
From this album, the group created their first music video with the song “Deja Voodoo.” Some may find it interesting to know that Dustin Thomas, a local musician himself, is the main character in the video.
Josh had a difficult time at first choosing one song to pick off the album. After a bit of consideration, though, Josh was able to choose the song “Look Around” off the first album.
“I just remember hearing when Natalie wrote a verse to it, being in the practice room and then hearing that, it was just like, I had this feeling. The hairs on the back of my neck went up, and I was thinking, ‘this is the most epic, amazing thing ever,’ like if you take something from my brain and put it out there, and then not only is it as good as it seemed in my head but it’s even better.”Josh hopped on board with the band a few days before a show at First Ave. A heavy music background; Josh was used to playing music in front of judges who critiqued his every move.
“I didn’t like it at all, and that’s one of the reasons why I never really wanted to play music, because I would go to these auditions and I would go to these competitions and… it’s like a completely different experience. It feel’s really dead, almost like you’re a zombie.”Josh explained how different the Minneapolis music scene is because the audience members and crowds feel so alive and bring a positive energy that reinforces what the music is representing and pushing.
The group continues to grow in popularity, especially with more than 100 performances in the last year under their belt. When asked how many of those were festival shows, Zach replied, “Not as many as we wish.”
With two official tours finished and an impressive array of festival performances, More Than Lights looks forward to another summer full of festivals. They already have participated in festivals such as : Saw Tooth, SoundTown, Shangri-La and Bella Fiore.
More Than Lights have some pretty big plans for the year 2012. They are planning a big local event in the spring & summer, to release a new album, and also to create another music video, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. On top of all that, More Than Lights was recently named best band of the year at 2012 Twin Cities Hip-Hop Awards.
The crew just returned from a week-long tour in Montana with Roster McCabe. Hopefully there will be more shows this month in the Twin Cities area. We will definitely continue to hear great things coming from More Than Lights. No doubt about it.

Detuned Kytes – The Seven Trumpets
Label: StuckHog Studios
I’m typically not a fan of industrial music. I wish I could honestly say that I hate Detuned Kytes latest, but that would be a lie.
I had heard of Detuned Kytes (aka Braden Palmer) from a local movie soundtrack and thought it interesting. I heard “Scan the Room” and “Obey/Inhale” both off album “The Brightest” and found it to be very house oriented, dance music, which I love. I downloaded “The Seven Trumpets” and find that this album, I can’t put it down.
I’d say “The Seven Trumpets” is the most abrasive and aggressive fusion of industrial rock and electronic music yet by Detuned Kytes. Shifting musical gears a bit to give us a more raw, heavy, and sincere look into his state of mind and the social climate; rather than citing musicians, as his inspiration. “The Seven Trumpets” refers to the 7 songs on the album and isn’t typical Detuned Kytes as compared to previous albums.
Everything is Gone (2009)
The Brightest (2011)
Channel Surfing from the Pits of Hell (2011)
“The Seven Trumpets” will indeed be his third album in the last year.
Track 1; “You’ll be Just Fine” is an abrasive, white noise scattered look at our current financial and social state. A musical acknowledgment that things are chaotic, but we need to keep drudging through it.
“It Creeps” “Wolves (part 3)” & “Gut-Shot” are an angst driven expulsion of what’s been going on in our world & how it needs to stop or be fixed before it’s too late.
“Scent” is the intermission of the album. Slow and lingering, this song gives you a two and a half minute break from the phonic brick you were just hit with.
“Lovely Young, Mary” is laced with melodic echoes of distorted vocals, white noise, screaming guitar, and heavy rhythms that make this track sound like the industrial alternative to Jane’s Addiction.
This album is loud, offers pounding beats, amped up guitar and is screaming to be heard through headphones in a dark corner somewhere. It ebbs and flows all the way to the end so if you’re not a fan of industrial music, I’d give Detuned Kytes “The Brightest” album a listen first. It’s more house and hiphop driven. If you are a fan of the heavy industrial sound, give “The Seven Trumpets” a listen to wet your audio palate. I think you’ll come to hear a solid industrial album that Detuned Kytes has managed to keep unique.
Track Listing:
Track 1: You’ll Be Just Fine
Track 2: It Creeps
Track 3: Wolves (part 3)
Track 4: Carefully Carefree
Track 5: Scent
Track 6: Gut Shot
Track 7: Lovely, Young Mary
Recommended Tracks: 1, 4, 5 & 7Sounds like: Jane’s Addiction, Nine Inch Nails
