Music:Member Since: 4/8/2006Band Website: thequalia.com Band Members: L. Casteen and collaborators. Influences: Kraftwerk, New Order, Lyle Lovett, Johnny Cash, REM, Front 242, Ennio Morricone, Nick Cave, Suicide, Depeche Mode, Coil, Giorgio Moroder, Heavy Water Factory, Placebo, Beck, Einsturzende Neubauten, Curve, Autechre, Erasure, Nine Inch Nails, Gary Numan, Beach Boys, B-52's, Nitzer Ebb, Can, Neu, Elton John, David Bowie, Covenant, The Sound, Prince, Queen If you need all the music you listen to fit perfectly into one category or another, this probably isn't for you. Sounds Like: "Even without the cowboy metaphors, Nevada's Greatest! is an endlessly fascinating blend of pop influences, unpredictable and unexpected, yet somehow familiar at the same time." - ReGen Magazine "It also needs to be said that nearly every song on this album is a radio hit waiting to happen. There isn't a song that isn't incredibly catchy and unique in its own way. The lyrics and thought structures are all inventive as well as the overall atmosphere..." - Heathen Harvest "Talented and complicated textures are painted over with a second and third coat of sonic paint that produces a thick layer of synths, guitars, vocals, and beats. Lyrically it’s serious as it tackles prolific topics in the political and social arenas yet also explores robotic cowboys." - Smother Magazine "Many of the songs are evocative of "futuristic music" from the early 1980s, like Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, and Afrika Bambataa--yet they're still very fresh and the production is exquisitely modern. I can't recommend them highly enough." - The Spacing Guild Guide to Good Music "The music is fantastic, an eclectic mix somewhere between electro-pop and an Ennio Morricone score..." - Jewelboxing.com "Nevada's Greatest Man" - Top 10 song of 2006 - voltage Record Label: WTII Records Type of Label: Indie |

I heard "The Tracks of My Tears" on the radio yesterday. I reacted differently this time. I got the impression that throughout it, the singer is lying. That the new girl he'... Posted by The Qualia on Mon, 21 May 2007 08:52:00 PST |

| It's a beautiful day today, and I'm sitting inside feeling bad. I've been called stoic before, and it pisses me off. Just because I have priorities and believe in what I'm doing, that do... Posted by The Qualia on Sun, 20 May 2007 01:54:00 PST |

The houses were loopholed and parapeted and the air was filled with the fumes of arsenic. |

| When I lived in Queens, I had the sense of L.I.C. as this sort of under-developed, low-key place, with the mixed industrial/residential sort of zoning that defines a place like Williamsburg without t... Posted by The Qualia on Fri, 18 May 2007 08:24:00 PST |
