Karaoke Underground
When karaoke participants end up sounding like rambling Dismemberment Plan frontman Travis Morrison or a Black Flag-era Henry Rollins, it’s usually a drunken accident at the expense of Journey. For Karaoke Underground, a long-running program that originated in Austin, such alternative ideas of good vocals are the entire point: Its entire set of backing tracks and video-sequenced lyrics centers on the kind of music that this tradition of vocal butchery tends to neglect, from an abundance of Minutemen songs to a few Wilco tracks to such nasal achievers as Destroyer and Mountain Goats. The truly impressive song list also includes additions from Bikini Kill, Guided By Voices, and Superchunk, among many others.
