Adem / Love And Other Planets ( Domino ) Adem is the musical alter-ego of Brit Adem Ilhan (no surnames, please, we're artists). His second album was performed almost entirely by himself (save some backing vocals, violin and drums) and recorded at home, and it sounds it - it's warm and cozy and laid back with a cup of tea on the side table. Fundamentally a folk record but dressed up in contemporary production values, it's a wonderfully laid-back contemplation of love, [...]

Here we are beginning this first week of fall with the end of this month's ridiculous amount of album releases. Honestly I didnt think I was going to get this week's Daily Graboid up at all considering my computer issues. But, I found a small solution with an older pc even though it's not really convienent considering having the mp3s on this harddrive pushed it to it's limits of space. I really wanted to get this one up to finish off the month, so here it is even though it's a few days late. Like [...]

British singer/songwriter/multi-instru mentalist Adem Ilhan writes pastoral pop that's augmented by eclectic instrumentation and wistful and irreverent lyrics. He began recording in his teens as the bass player for the popular post-rock trio Fridge, recording four full-length records and releasing numerous singles and EPs. In 2003 he signed with Domino , home to a diverse group of artists including Franz Ferdinand and Juana Molina. He released his debut (Homesongs) in 2004, followed by Love and Other Planets in 2006. The first single from Adem’s second solo record, Launch Yourself , is [...]
Here we have a few uncirculated mixes of "Launch Yourself" from Love And Other Planets (including a typically trippy contribution from Adem's Fridge-mate Kieran Hebden -- as Four Tet) and a host of revealing responses to Bernard Pivot's canned questionnaire....

This post has nothing to do with the father of couch jumping, however it does has something to do with "the final frontier." NASA'S launching the space shuttle Atlantis this week and Europe crashed their first spacecraft onto the moon this weekend. These posts have something to do with space. -Adem hails from the U.K. and is part of the nu-folk scene. His new album Love and Other Planets will be released by Domino Records on September 26th. The album is spaced themed and this song is fitting [...]
I just, about an hour ago, got internet again. Hurray beer! And I also have that Red Stripe commercial in my head still apparantly. But if not by tomorrow, then certainly Monday, I'll have all my road trip pictures and videos uploaded and ready to write the ginormous post about my 2 1/2 day trip back from Seattle. It should be a blast. Until I get that post finished, here's a few bands to check out, and a few teaser pictures from the trip. The Perch begins again soon!! [...]

Right, before the month gets any older, a quick look back at my musical highlights of July. Album of the month It's been a bit hard to choose this month, what with so much good stuff out. In the end, the choice was between the ubiquitous Lily Allen and the posthumously ubiquitous Johnny Cash. Maybe it's the summer heat addling my brain, but I'm going with Lily. Maybe in a year's time [...]

For the third edition of our podcast, the fine folks at Aperture Music have decided to do something a little different: challenge you. Think of it as the musical equivalent of "The Da Vinci Code," only without the bad Tom Hanks haircut and without all the page turning and stuff. One word from each of this edition's eight songs, makes up the title of one of our favorite King Crimson tunes. Actually, the King Crimson song has nine words, but we'll give the "the" for free. To [...]
