Just a couple of weeks ago, on April 27, I attended the Social Music Jam conference in Barcelona. I was in charge of moderating two panels: one on "The State of the Music Industry in Spain" and a debate on "Spotify: Does it Help or Interfere with the Music Industry." Although ...
L'album non è andato come la media di quelli di Enrico Ruggeri (è stato lui stesso a dirlo) ed è un peccato perchè avrebbe meritato migliori sorte. " La parola ai testimoni ", nuovo lavoro del cantautore milanese è bel fatto e si regge su una idea interessante, quella di affidare a 15 artisti della scena indie altrettante sue canzoni, peraltro scelte dagli stessi interpreti. E cantarle con loro. Il disco paga, forse, l'assenza una canzone nuova, però permette di riascoltare alcuni bei pezzi. Come " Tenax ", uno dei pezzi più belli degli anni 80, [...]

YOU THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF BANK OF AMERICA!!! Bank of America received $45 billion in bailout money, however that hasn't stopped the company from finding new ways to milk the most money out of their customers. On Friday, Bank of America announced a new debit card fee that will charge customers $5 per month simply for using their debit cards. The debit card fee will begin in the first few months of 2012. At first, Bank of America will start charging the debit card fee [...]
"Fang Fosc" Vídeo exclusiva de Playground El día 23 de Abril, esa fecha histórica, ese San Valentín a la catalana, con sentido, con historia, este año a más de uno/a le debió hacer replantearse cambiar el libro o la rosa por un disco. Bankrobber publicó el largo de Guillamino! Do you remember el EP con remixes hasta de la megaestrella del momento Jacques Greene? Pues ahora Guillamino lanza su álbum Fang (fango, barro, lodo, en catalán, que se pronuncia como Funk), haciendo país, remarcando la cultura catalana y llenando [...]
Gimnasio, sudor y... Gastronomía catalana Olvídate de Ferran Adrià, de Carme Ruscalleda o de cualquier otro cocinero catalán de tres al cuarto. El auténtico gastrónomo de las tierras catalanas es Guillamino . Ya demostró sus dotes en Whip Gymnastix (Bankrobber, 2010) para desleir una abundante Escudella o para flamear unos buenos Calçots . El quid de su nueva cocina ha sido pedir (véase el vídeo a continuación) a Jacques Greene , el chico analógico -y canadiense- de LuckyMe, a [...]
Bankrobber is a project started by Jordan Minkoff from Victoria, BC (Oh Canada!). Minkoff is/was a member of the indie pop band, Immaculate Machine . Midjuly is a solid foray for Bankrobber, and the music is more post-punk than anything else with influences from folk, psychedelia, and British punk. Highlights include The End (folkie psychedelia), Tripe , and the lively May 11th . Check out: Bankrobber - The End [mp3] Get: Midjuly (Bandcamp) [...]
Blogophilia 24 is the second "theme-based" mix in the Blogophilia series. You may or may not know that Blogophilia mixes are created by mixing songs posted to this blog and others to form a mix of songs that were recently released. The only other theme-based mix (Blogophilia 2) deviated from these basic rules by including songs that had American states, cities or places of significance in the title without attention to release date. The general rules for this mix were to: 1) Find enough songs in 24 hours via music blogs and related sites to form a [...]
It's times like these there would be nothing better than to head to the airport, destination unknown and a twitter-block on #irisheconomy. Maybe we can't escape our country's fiscal woes but we can take you away for an hour, and seeing as it's tough times it's all free. Joining us this week we have Theophilus London (featuring Solagne Knowles ), Po Po , Pina Chulada , Dels (featuring Ghostpoet ), Coma Cinema , Mutual Benefit , The New Division , Phaseone , Fishing , [...]
My Friend Wallis Vancouver, Canada Crystal Dorval I started My Friend Wallis as a recording side project to another band I used to play in called Vincat. Things fizzled out with that so I ended up adopting My Friend Wallis as my main brain child. I released my first EP "When The Blue Turned Yellow" in June 2009 and the release party was my first show and basically the start of the band. The [...]

Gimnasio sudor y latigazos Guillamino se ha convertido con Whip Gymnastix ( Bankrobber , 2010) en el rey barcelonés de la conceptualización, pues todo elemento musical que construye este maxi tiene un significado metafórico -que si gruesas lonchas de mozzarella bass por aquí o melodías con sabor a helado "Popeye de limón" por allá-. El rey de la " electrocançó ", véase uno de sus anteriores discos " Somnis de llop ", (Bankrobber, 2005)-, nos sorprende otra vez con una de sus mejores virtudes: adaptar la tradicionalidad a los [...]
Every now and then I suspect I might have super-hero powers. I melted a harddrive the other day just by touching it. I lost all of my data. I think there are some X-Men that have this problem, no? I don't know, could be a coincidence. It was for this reason that I found myself hunting online to replace an mp3 by a band named Islands . What started out as a recon mission ended up a treasure hunt. Unfortunately for me there were no pirates (of the sailing variety) on this adventure for treasure, but I [...]
This man is a genius and should be pardoned of his crime. Amazing. Innertubes, pepper spray, craigslist, this sounds like it couldve been in the erotic services section. But alas it's much better than anything 300 roses could afford you. ======== MONROE, Wash. – In a move that could be right out of a Hollywood movie, a brazen crook apparently used a Craigslist ad to hire a dozen unsuspecting decoys to help him make his getaway following a robbery outside a bank on Tuesday. He then made his escape in an inner tube on the Skykomish [...]
