Super VGA and free alchohol in williamsburg
September 26th, 2008 Trevor
I have a box of unopened chocolates sitting on my kitchen counter. there is nothing wrong with them, but i just can’t bring myself to eat them. and i don’t want to give them to anyone else either. so i leave them sitting there, waiting for a place in someone’s heart. or someone’s mouth. or stomach.
the following tracks are sort of like these chocolates to me. when i heard these tracks for the first time, i didnt fall immediately in love with them. because they’re smarter than the immediate gratification of puppy infatuation.
they take a bit more time spent with them to appreciate the full aspect. i listen to new music usually like this. play for first 5 secs, FF 30 secs in, play for 5 secs, FF another 30 secs.. repeat. and i do this for each new track of an album to get a feel for it before i dive in and let it play all the way through. sometime i never get past the first 5 secs… sometimes i miss the days when i would buy a new CD at the store, take it home and completely examine the album art and liner notes while blasting my newly acquired music.
For some reason with these Super VGA tracks, i just let them play. because they taste good. like chocolates from montreal with no home.
The only information I could find about this band is that Super VGA is Ryan Wardell, Jeff Waldron and Vic Stafford.
Apparently they have a short documentary video up on vimeo as well about their songwriting process:

If you kids in NYC aren’t doing anything tomorrow night, Brice Woodall + The Positrons are playing a show at Trash Bar in Williamsburg. they go on at 9pm. There is also an open bar from 8-9pm. Not a bad way to start your weekend.
