The Bordellos "My Love" (Wings cover) Society Burning "Lovefool" (Cardigans cover) This makes me want to tease my hair, put on combat boots and go to Neo tonight. Del [...]
We've been watching the deluxe DVD set of the 1994 television series "My So-Called Life" since I got it for Christmas. We've watched everything on the six discs: episodes, commentaries, extras, and interviews. Bless my husband, he claims he's enjoyed it. I've also enjoyed revisiting the music, which although you can hear it in grocery stores and fast-food places everywhere now, at the time was rather cutting-edge alternative. There is a MSCL soundtrack album, but it does not come close to covering all music that was used. So I'm beginning a three-part series here [...]
Maks has an original take on the French Wishing project. He raves on about his fave non-French filles, AND suggests some French lovelies who could 'fillesourire' his fave songs. Here goes: 1. Kim Deal (Pixies, Breeders) The first one who always slips into my mind while discussing female singers is Kim Deal. Call it a fetish, call it a nostalgic love, but to me her voice is simply unequalled. Always a bit hoarse and so arousing, you immediately forget that her looks didn't improve through the [...]
Bettie Serveert es una banda antigua e injustamente desconocida. Formada en Holanda a principios de los noventa, cuenta con ocho discos en su haber y la voz de Carol van Dyk; eso debería ser suficiente para tener triunfo avasallador, pero bueno, eso no ha sucedido hasta ahora. Con su indie rock light e inclinaciones acústicas, Bettie Serveert ha pasado por diversos estados de desintegración a lo largo de su carrera; por eso, este es un post realmente de la serie Back In Time. Me encontraba escuchando el Attagirl hace un par de [...]
Just to remind people.. The Delorentos are playing tonight at Piano's at 11. If you can possibly see them, do! It's a big night for some reason: Amy Winehouse, Pop Levi, Au Revoir Simone all playing as well... Dutch Treat Dutch band Bettie Serveert has been around forever and still turn out adorable indie-pop. Named after a Dutch tennis champion, they remind me in many ways of Shivaree. Carol Van Dyk has an appealing countryish rasp [...]
You know how you wake up and it's one of those days? It's too early because the kids haven't adjusted to daylight savings. Your neck hurts and you feel a headache coming on. You take a shower and notice just exactly how dirty the shower door is. There's nothing to eat for breakfast; you have to put on Sesame Street instead of being able to watch Veronica Mars. And it's only 7 am. Bleah. Here's some music. 1. Robin McKelle - Bei Mir Bist Du Schön [...]

Be sure to catch a free, in-store performance by Bettie Serveert at Vintage Vinyl tomorrow (10/7) afternoon at 1:30 p.m. The Dutch band has been around for over 15 years, and has toured with Belly, Dinosaur Jr, Buffalo Tom, Superchunk, Come and Jeff Buckley. They are a favorite band of many of the DJ's at St. Louis' KDHX and have a good following in St. Louis. Their press release compares them
Bettie Serveert is an indie rock band that, much like the Energizer bunny, just keeps going. They've been up and they've been down, they've had good records and mediocre ones, but no matter what you can't deny that they've stayed true to their sound and soldiered on. This year they released Bare Stripped Naked which is as the title implys a quiet acoustic affair that lets the songs sit front center with a special spotlight on the lush vocals of Carol van Dyk. Two of the songs are reworked versions of songs on [...]
A little bit of nostalgia is inevitable when listening the new single by the Dutch indie rock band, Bettie Seveert. We'll take our trip in the Wayback Machine in a little bit, but first I want to talk about Bettie Seveert in the present tense. Bare Stripped Naked, the latest release from Bettie Seveert was released September 12th on Minty Fresh Records. This is not a return to form
This week brings us a ton of amazing new releases. Probably one of the best weeks of new music this entire year. There were so many albums that i'm cutting the samples to only one track instead of the usual two. A lot of these i'm only listening to for the first time like Bettie Serveert , Richard Buckner and Favourite Sons to albums I can completely recommend to anyone from Brazilian Girls , Junior Boys and Yo La Tengo . There [...]
Ten years ago, I was very fond of Bettie Serveert, but they fell off my radar, so it's nice to reconnect with an old friend. Minty Fresh will be releasing their new album "Bare Stripped Naked" on Sept. 12th, and you can preview tracks at their site. I've always liked the contrast between Carol van Dijk's sweet voice and the actual subjects of the songs. Back in the day my favorite song was "Something So Wild," which warned a guy that he wasn't gonna get away with treating her friend so harshly, that one day she'd [...]

Run-On Sentence Postcard, Sent Across the Ocean on this warm summer night, where the people below my window are drunk and walking by in an ever constant middle of the night stream, i don't believe i could play this song loud enough, or cup my headphones to my ears hard enough and somewhere in the parallel dimension where [...]
