![Review: Johnny Foreigner | Grace And The Bigger Picture [MP3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2016387_lg.jpg)
And it starts like this: as much as Johnny Foreigner 's towering 2008 debut Waited Up Til It Was Light [ review here ] was concerned with the band's beloved hometown, the British noise-pop trio's wholly remarkable follow-up is crisply refracted through the band's absence from it. And, of course, guitarist Alexei Berrow, bassist Kelly Southern and drummer Junior Elvis Washington Laidley's separation from Birmingham, England's people and places (but mostly people -- after all, there are some love songs here, yeh?) that a life lived via van requires. This theme is no surprise: for more than [...]
B. Fleischmann/Billie Holiday - Lover Come Back to Me (Broken Monitors Mix) A couple of people have been asking for it again, so 'back by popular demand', an amateur mash-up experiment of mine from a few years ago. Also, Moistworks always has some Billie Holiday gems kicking around : Billie Holiday - Come Rain Or Come Shine "happy together, unhappy together . . . and won't it be fine."
eigentlich hatte dem traum-themeneintrag in angemessenem, aber nicht zu langem abstand einer folgen sollen, der sich musiken widmet, die das wörtchen "schlaf" im titel tragen (erst JETZT fällt mir auf, dass ich mich hier den unsitten des hiesigen popkulturellen mainstream angepasst und ausschließlich die deutsche und englische sprache berücksichtigt habe; auf französisch fiele mir AUF ANHIEB sofort ein weiteres, sehr gutes lied ein). einleitendes, pseudopersönliches blabla: früher konnte ich im grunde immer einschlafen, wenn es abend genug war. ob mich die sorgen oder schuhe drückten, ob ein freudiges oder unschönes ereignis bevorstand; ganz egal, ich [...]
Speaking of blog items that mysteriously go missing at :: clicky clicky :: (wait... what?), voracious readers may recall we briefly posted an item a month ago that addressed in turn a new Rumble Strips song ("London," a real snappy one, that) and a planned Morr Music compilation featuring covers of the best in classic '80s and '90s New Zealand indie rock. Well, we now have more information about the latter, which appears to be available to order now . According to an email just in from Morr, the 34-track set is titled Not [...]
Ryan(StopMe): I was spoilt for choice this week but after much agonising, here are the ten best songs I could find: B. Fleischmann delivers a swoon-some nursery-rhyme ballad called 'Still See You Smile' . Sit back as the music-box sounds, dreamy Organs and brushed Drums caress your ears for three and a half minutes. I'm mainly choosing the Tru Menace Remix of Daniel Merriweather's Hip-Hop/Soul cut 'Chainsaw' because it's a got a rare guest Rap from Skinnyman . [...]
B. Fleischmann returns with probably his most accessible albums yet, integrating smooth & lovely vocal turns into his IDM-meets-electropop approach. From the late 2008 release Angst Is Not A Weltanschauung. B. Fleischmann - 24.12. B. Fleischmann - Last Time We...
I hope you had a great holidays and New Year! I did. January is actually one of my favorite times of year. The weather still isn't great, but the days are starting getting longer, my body's circadian rhythms tell me to start going places, doing things, and seeing people again. Six hours of daylight makes me hibernate, and now it's time to go find some honey. Here's this week's honey: artist - song - album :: extra info Faded Paper Figures - North by North [...]
B. Fleischmann Angst Is Not A Weltanschauung! Morr Music [2008] Fire Drills Review: On the nine-song Angst Is Not a Weltanschauung! electronic guru B. Fleischmann moves into a more indie territory and even lets his own Nick Cave like vocals appear on two of the albums tracks. Of course he uses several guest vocalists with the most notable being Daniel Johnston on "Phones, Machines And King Kong" that keeps the record moving, [...]
Monday, January 5, 2009 Hello! I, and the rest of the Side One: Track One family, have returned. You won't notice any massive changes as we get things going in 2009, but I've got a couple of announcements coming up that I think you'll like. On a related note, the About, Contact and Links pages have been updated. Take a look! Now, with all that out of the way, let's get started. I've got a wealth of music - at least a good month's worth - to [...]
Most Likely To: find its way into a whimsical mixtape-romance. When I stop to think of the different echelons of credibility, I always debate within my own head the question of who really rules the roost. The answer is never as sexy as it should be because the answer is never what you'd expect. It is rarely the doe-eyed minstrel, rarely the angular avant-garde, rarely the feigning prima donna with mandolin and garden-hushed voice. More often than not, top aesthetic billing, to me at least, goes to guys like B. Fleischmann. It is artists like [...]
B. Fleischmann - 24.12 The cold beat here at the start is to let you know that it's a night-time story, full of nocturnal sights and feelings, blurring past like wet snow. There's a familiarity and confidence in the vocals that puts you at ease even though it's a stranger's voice, and the night he is describing is one that lies ahead of you, that it lies behind him. There's some charming non-native English ( I went in the shop to buy some ice ) that makes you try a little bit harder to understand [...]
"24.12." - B. Fleischmann And here's another not-quite-typical holiday song. You won't hear a lot of out-and-out electronica on Fingertips, not because I have anything against the sound per se, but because by and large I find the genre lacking in what I will, with apologies to S. Colbert, call "songiness." We get a lot of beat and texture and neato sounds but often each track emerges like something sliced out of the electronica-o-matic machine, without an individually compelling sense of structure, arc, or storyline. While "24.12." has [...]
We're not ones for getting all glossy eyed by a lyric sheet but '24.12' is threatening to change all that. It may well be a song set in December but it's not one speckled with the normal jollity of the season. The subject matter may catch you off guard but it's the beauty in the juxtaposition of the vocals that'll take you over the line. This is mesmeric stuff from the Austrian artist and is
