( Zhang Xiaogang ) 01 : Animental // Soundtrack Reminds me of that one SNL skit, Goth Talk. Welcome to the show that explores the moody depths of the goth lifestyle here in Tampa, Florida. 02 : Mahogany // Neo-Plastic Boogie-Woogie Connectivity! is probably going to be on the top albums list I make next month. This track is more chamberpop than the rest. 03 : [...]
Philadelphia, PA I just started listening to the new EP from A Sunny Day in Glasgow a few days ago, but I cannot get enough of it. There are only five tracks on it, but each song proves to be refreshing both vocally and instrumentally. Here's a shortie but a goodie from The Sunniest Day Ever . "Laughter (Victims)" A Sunny Day In Glasgow
Lo-Fi-Fnk @ Fontana's 11/3/2006 City / Adore / Wake Up / The End Lo-Fi-Fnk "City" - Lo-Fi-Fnk's fourth US show was in the basement venue of a bar called Fontana's, as part of the Brooklyn Vegan 's series of CMJ day shows. The group only played four songs, and unfortunately "What's On Your Mind?" and "Unighted" were not among them, but they were fun and adorable nonetheless. The three of them are in their [...]
So, I've been sitting on some video of A Sunny Day in Glasgow's recent show at Piano's in Manhattan for a little over a week. When I first uploaded it, we had just run an interview w/ group leader Ben Daniels, and it just seemed like overkill. But at this point, it's up on You Tube, and there's a link on the band's MySpace, so what the hell? Now, every time I put up video taken from our otherwise fully capable digital snapshot camera, I have to brace everyone for terrible sound quality. [...]
A Sunny Day in Glasgow - "the Best Summer Ever" We've been big fans of the odd and appealing music made by Ben Daniels and his sisters for a while now. Their self released the Sunniest Day Ever EP has been wearing out the new fangled hi-fi in MS towers since we got our hands on a copy at the beginning of the year. In advance of this Sunday's live appearance at Piano's in Manhattan , I caught up with the A Sunny Day [...]
Every review I've seen of this band has made much of the supposedly unlikely nature of their name when trying to find a clever description of their sound. For me, though, Glasgow (yes, Glasgow, Scotland) has never failed to be bathed in sunshine for my (admittedly rare) visits, so there's no such irony for me; the words "A Sunny Day In Glasgow" conjure up a headful of heat-haze
I had a bit of a shock this morning when I looked at my calendar and saw that it's September next week. What the f! How did this month go by so quickly? How is summer over? I swear I just graduated last week, and now I'm up at 7 every morning and drinking coffee like water. These so-called life experiences really take their toll. I kinda want to be bumming around my parents place in London again, avoiding the questions of what am I doing with the rest of my life. That was fun. So I [...]
Fluxblog first turned me on to A Sunny Day In Glasgow and after reading that their music sounds like "the work of a group fully immersed in the underground pop aesthetics" of college radio circa 1983 - 1992, I knew that this EP would be right up my alley. The Sunniest Day Ever is a Creation Records junkie's gem. The 5-tracks that make up the EP are filled with ethereal melodies and otherworldly vocals that swim throughout the dense layers of distorted guitar and noise. [...]
"I'm in the church and I’ve come / To claim you with my iron drum." -- John Cale, "Paris 1919" "How did I not hear about this until yesterday? What rock have I been living under?" -- Tom wondering how he missed the Snakes on a Plane buzz "Yeah, it did have its moments -- its moments of abject torture and its moments of just straight-up torture." -- Tom, making a few clarifications on a Clerks II review "You’re a Dave Kingman of comedy." -- [...]
Candy Hotpants loves you, dear readers! I had this amusing idea during my morning commute, that I would start a parody blog -- of myself ("Candy Hotpants Saves Indie Rock!"), in which I planned to make fish stories out of my experiences in "The Scene," but that seemed, you know, a bit excessive. Ha! So, instead, a giant entry, just for you. Kiki and Herb , who we posted about a while back , have a new show, Kiki and Herb: Alive on Broadway , running through through September 10 at the [...]
Vacations are a double-edged sword at Pitchfork. On the one hand, they allow the review staff to do what they love most: answer questions nobody was asking, like "hey, so what was really the 186th best song of the 1960's?" On the other hand, plastering this listurbation on the welcome page cuts down on their precious page views. Instead of clicking an additional (sixth? seventh?) time to reach the news items or track reviews they want, people just temporarily abandon the site altogether. It's a shame, too, because then the truly deserving content on the main [...]
Prior to A Sunny Day in Glasgow's maiden voyage into live performance, sonic architect Ben Daniels sent out a memo to his booster club (later published by club treasurer Matt Fluxblog ) telling all of us what a terrible show we were in for Sunday night. Their drummer was to be a spastic iPod for one. Two, his sisters/vocalists had never performed in front of a crowd, or even sung and played keys at the same time. Three, they had only practised twice. Quite the unusual set up letter, which was either a slyly [...]
My new Hit Refresh column is up on the ASAP site. This week: David Bazan, Poni Hoax, and a song from Yo Gabba Gabba. A Sunny Day In Glasgow "C'mon" - People in the NYC area hungry for a LCD Soundsystem "I was there!" moment ought to consider going to the world's first A Sunny Day In Glasgow show this Sunday at Cakeshop. However, if you do go, please keep your expectations modest. Band leader Ben Daniels explains: Now, you should know, [...]
Living here in thunderstorm central, the headline as taken literally would be news enough. The clever interpretation, however, is more exciting. A Sunny Day in Glasgow, actually from Philadelphia, will be gracing our fair city to taunt us with their lower cost of living and bring out the dense jams. Ben Daniels and his sisters will be playing the snug Cake Shop on Sunday, July 16th. The Daniels famile is hard at work on Sunny Day's first full length, eyeballing a late 2006 or early 2007 release date. New [...]
