 The Observer - Zugzwang delivers funk-rock to the dorms - January 30, 2004
The band members say that they just really liked they way it sounds and the idea that, as one of their fathers explained it, it meant a “lose-lose situation.” They recognize that they are better remembered as “the bands with the z’s” than Zugzwang, but when the band was started, that did not matter.
Zugzwang was started in November 2002 by some friends at Westlake High School.
All the band members agree that even though they have yet to taste success, they would gladly play music for the rest of their lives instead of having any other job.

 Jim's Random Notes - May 2006
Contemplating the word zugzwang from yesterday's entry, I found a perfect use for the term: when you, through your own actions, put yourself in a position from which you have no good way to extricate yourself.
The German word zugzwang ("compulsion to move") is used in game theory to mean that a player is put at a disadvantage because he must make a move that will force him into a significantly weaker position.
In simple language, being in zugzwang means that you have to move and that whatever move you make will be disadvantageous.

One major point that should be made, though, is that there are so many different kinds of bands doing so many different types of things here that narrowing it down to eleven songs is hardly fair.

 THE BRAIN - LAST SUMMER I SCREAMED
This past December, Biafra and makeshift band Krist Novoselic (Nirvana, Sweet 75), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) and Gina Mainwal (Sweet 75) performed live, amidst a sea of cops and tear gas, for some of the 40-50,000 protesters at the "Battle in Seattle".
The band, who were raised on old school punk, do justice to the Dead Kennedy's classic "Let's Lynch the Landlord" and the 16+ minute Biafra/D.O.A. epic "Full Metal Jackoff".
The band clearly makes their email contact information available in CDs and such, so a web board like that wouldn't be necessary, as there's already an email list that has been on the net for years before there was a world wide web.

Andi was hired as a toolmaker in Flach, a town 10 kilometres from the farm.
In chess, there is a position called zugzwang, where you must make a move, even though that move will cause you to lose.
As he became more successful, Andi moved to Munich, where he was known as one of the nicest men in a sport mostly populated by meatheads, narcissists, egoists, attention-seekers, overcompensators and the terminally aggrieved.

And this, I thought, was a shame, because a new potential audience for this band is as yet untapped: the jam-band crowd.
While none of the titles on the disc are familiar (for what turns out to be a fairly obvious reason), the recordings feature embryonic versions of many songs and instrumentals that would later turn up on the two studio albums.
The demos sound surprisingly good for their age and provenance; live tapes from BBC performances are better still, and reveal what a ferocious beast this band was in its heyday.

 Frank Black and the Catholics: Dog in the Sand - PopMatters Music Review
I couldn't help but draw comparisons as I listened, although every time I tried to come up with an approximation something would defy me. That, in my opinion, is the hallmark of a great album.
Strains of Johnny Cash, most definitely, other Western-tinged rock bands like Havana 3 A.M., and of course, the Pixies, keep bleeding through, but Black's ability to change gears, and find subtleties within a general sound, make this a chameleon of the desert.
Black's wit and intelligence are as sharp as ever, even if the total meanings of his lyrics remain as mysterious and open to interpretation as ever.

 Hacker (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In small combos, and in middle school, high school, and college jazz band classes all over the English-speaking world, "hacker" means either "a musician who plays out of turn" or simply a musician who shows off constantly Currently, "''hacker''" is used in two main ways, one complimentary and one pejorative.
This type of Hacker is well-respected, although the term still carries some of the meaning of hack, developing programs without adequate planning.
This zugzwang gives freedom and the ability to be creative against methodical careful progress.

A Northern Chorus is definitely Northern - hailing from Ontario, Canada, the group provokes a sense of melancholy evocative of the murmuring chill of quiet Canadian winters.
Rooted in atmospheric, shoegazer pop, this music is tempered at times by an edge reminiscent of whipping blizzards, giving structure to an album that seems vulnerable to straying into emotional wastelands; the band is smart enough to reel in the sadness just when it gets too heavy.

 GameKnot: play online chess
It's when you move a P around the K to give the poor monarch some "air" to breathe (thus avoiding most corridor mates, etc.)
In other words, "zugzwang" is "the contrainst of having to move" (more precise than "no move" because a player in zugzwang HAS moves, but making any of them hastens the end in a position where a "pass" would save the day.
When I was a boy and first saw chess notation, I thought maybe 0-0 and 0-0-0 meant "pass," but I learned that wasn't legal.
