Julia Holter

“Monie Mon Amie” opens side B of Julia Holter’s Ekstasis LP, available now via RVNG INTL.

The Julia Holter who arrived on my doorstep at 9:33pm on a weekday night hefting a lived-in teacher’s tote bag and a keyboard twice her slight size is not the same person you see above. The person who introduces herself as Julia Holter teaches at an after school music program, drives a modest sedan, giggles earnestly and often, and really has no idea where the Julia Holter you see above comes from, or how long she’ll stay.

Watching Julia transform into the siren you see above isn’t like watching vampires cross over into darkness or bookish Peter Parker become Spidey; it happens in an instant, on the surface there’s no evidence, until your eyes close, and hear her voice.

Ten Tapes for Twenty Ten

yourstruly — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 02:40:55 +0000

Twenty ten just sounds better than two thousand and nine; with its built-in abbreviation and alliteration, it’s easily the baddest nickname since ’99. It even looks cooler on paper; the zeros separated symmetrically by 1 look just like midi code and if you remove the 2 you’ve got the beginnings of a great cartoon face — see the eyes (zeros) and nose (1) in 010…?Besides, 2011 is gonna suck on account of the impending apocalypse. Most folks’ll prolly spend every spare second collectin bottled water, duc tape & SPAM so whatta you say we treat these next 361 like they’re our last and dance like there’s no one looking?Here’s ten twenty ten mixtapes to get ya started.
