The Music Tapes performing "Takeshi and Elijah" at 40 Watt, Athens, 7th March 2009

(it's one of the shows when at the beginning Julian mentions that he's "insanely flu-ish" and also a bit delirious)

This version of Takeshi and Elijah (especially the end) makes me feel and incredibly strong yet undefined emotion

Article and interview with Julian Koster about "Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes", movie written with John Cameron Mitchell and the tour. INDY WEEK, 5th March 2009

fragments:

"Blessed with abundant imagination and commensurately less social confidence, he comes across like someone who might break if you looked at him too hard. But that tender awkwardness is part of what makes his music so endearing."

"It can just be scary to go out and interact, trying to really go out and interact with the big world, especially if you have some parts that can get scared. And if you indulge those parts, you end up staying in one place, which for me was being happy making music and recordings, but not necessarily dealing with what happens when you send it out into the world. And having circumstance sort created where I could kind of hide away in a funny way so it just kind of happened that way. I’m really glad that I got roused out of that."

Article and interview with Julian Koster about tour, "Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes" and break he took. Mountain Xpress, 4th March 2009

"He was working inside himself. And sending the new Music Tapes endeavor to Merge Records had become a scary prospect.

“The impulse or the ability to put it in the mail kind of felt like jumping into the ocean. Like that moment before jumping in when you know you’re going to feel cold, but also that it’s going to be incredibly fun and you’re just kind of terrified,” he says."

Review of shows by Brian Dewan, the Music Tapes and Nana Grizol at Maxwell’s, Hoboken. BrooklynVegan, 3 March 2009.

"Live, The Music Tapes continue to be one of the most consistently entertaining bands around. The scratchy, distorted sound of its recordings (can a singing saw’s sound actually be recorded?), while interesting, drastically understates the buoyant joy and enigmatic energy of Koster and Co. in person."
