The So So Glow balance un punk à la Libertines et il parait que le groupe en concert est une vraie terreur. Sur album ça passe tout seul, comme du petit lait punk des années 2000 : un rock tendance pop nonchalant plus tourné vers la mélodie que la puissance et la rage brute, même si l'enregistrement studio est une réussite qui rend bien le son saturé et aigu des hymnes - Fire your Dj... Fire Your Dj hurle le chanteur sur Throw your hands up - de ces punks de Brooklyn. Matt Etkin a répondu aux trois questions du Dj Duclock.
Matt Etkin & les 3 questions du Dj Duclock (et un peu plus).
Dj Duclock : Qu'est-ce que le punk représente aujourd'hui ?
Matt Elkin : Je pense que les punks sont méchants aujourd'hui parce qu'ils se sont rendus compte que Hot Topic manquait de Tshirts pour adolescents et qu'ils ne vont pas repasser commande. Ai-je mal compris la question ?
Dj Duclock : Oh non... Quels livres lis-tu en ce moment ?

Dj Duclock : Oh non... Quels livres lis-tu en ce moment ?
Matt Elkin : je suis en train de lire Black Postcards par (Galaxie 500's) Dean Wareham et Le soleil se lève aussi (et, souvent, Le plaisir de cuisiner), j'ai relu récemment : Pastoralia de George Saunders, Le vieil homme et la mer ensuite : Parlez-moi d'amour de Raymond Carver, et Hemingway a tendance à être assez souvent relu pendant ces longs mois d'hiver... J'ai vraiment besoin de rattraper mon retard de lecture. Je n'ai jamais été doué pour tenir un rythme de lecture régulier, et maintenant avec Netflix et tout ça...

Dj Duclock : What is your last surprise, the last time you were surprised by something ?
Dj Duclock : What is your last surprise, the last time you were surprised by something ?
Matt Elkin : J'ai été très surpris du temps agréable que nous avons eu à New York le week end dernier. J'ai aussi été surpris d'entendre une vieille chanson du groupe Cracker à la radio l'autre jour, et puis surpris de voir qu'eux ET AUSSI Spacehog allaient jouer à New York cette semaine. Un très bon retour des passions d'enfance. J'ai été surpris quand j'ai appris que la vue de quelqu'un d'autre en train de vomir peut en fait me faire vomir aussi. Je pense que c'était un agréable rappel qu'il pouvait bien me rester encore de l'empathie. J'ai été surpris de n'obtenir que 25$ pour avoir vendu 50 CD à ce magasin de disque dans le quartier, mais il faut soutenir les magasins Mom and Pop, tu vois ? J'ai été surpris de découvrir les propriétés anti-cancérigènes du curcuma.
Matt Etkin & the 3 questions of Dj Duclock (and more)
Dj Duclock : What does punk mean today ?
Matt Elkin : I think punks are mean today because they found out Hot Topic ran out of adolescents t-shirts and probably won't restock them anytime soon. Did I misread the question?
Dj Duclock : Oh no... Wich book are you reading now ?
Matt Elkin : currently reading : Black Postcards by (Galaxie 500's) Dean Wareham and The Sun Also Rises (and, often, The Joy of Cooking) recently reread : Pastoralia by George Saunders, The Old Man and the Sea next : What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver, and Hemingway tends to get reread quite often during these lonely wintry months... I really need to catch up on my reading. I've never been good at keeping a regular reading routine, and now with Netflix and all...
Dj Duclock : What do you listen to these days ?
Matt Elkin : "Recently Played" on iTunes: Dear Nora, P.S. Eliot (Birmingham, Alabama), Sebadoh, New Buffalo, early Beatles (Misery) in Spanish, the Hollies, Flash & the Memphis Casuals, Sam & Dave, Real Estate, Spider Bags, Balkans (Atlanta), Carnivores (Atlanta), Shilpa Ray/Hookers, old Concretes, Pavement, Wipers, Simon Joyner, Big Star, Big Country, Irma Thomas, Naughty by Nature, the Flamin' Groovies also: the song from Ocean Howell's part in Risk It (early skate video), Dananananaykroyd, Liam the Younger (NJ), The Wailing Wall
(NY), The Monitor by Titus Andronicus (comes out in March... YES!)
Dj Duclock : What is your last surprise, the last time you were surprised by something ?
Matt Elkin : I was very surprised by the nice weather we got in New York this past weekend. I was also surprised to hear an old Cracker song on the radio the other day, and then surprised to see that they AND ALSO Spacehog were playing in NYC that very week. Very cool resurgence of childhood interests. I was surprised when I learned that the sight of someone else vomiting can in fact effect me to vomit as well. I think it was a nice reminder that I might still have a little empathy left in me. I was surprised that I only got $25 for selling back 50 CDs to this record shop nearby, but you gotta support the mom and pop shops, you know ? I was suprised to learn of the anti-carcinogenic qualities of the spice tumeric.
