I've been sitting on this blogpost for a few months now, but figured that this gloomy weather needed a pick-me-up. My Portuguese pals the Buffet Libre DJs released a second volume of its retro cover c...

Botticellis. BuffetLibre's Rewind Tour 2009 is up for download now, and woe to the deprived mp3 downloader that misses out on this. A big surprise for me: Cherielynn Westrich, formerly of The Rentals, is in a Canadians cover of Moroder's "Neverending Story." Also - Starfucker covers Cyndi Lauper, Headlights dress up XTC in casiotone, Botticellis tame Whitesnake (yes, Whitesnake) into dream folk, and the cover that got me there in the first place - Au Revoir Simone's contemplative treatment of ELO's "Here Is The News." If you get where I'm [...]

...and a happy 2009 to all of you. I had a fantastic time as you can see from the pics above. Now it's back to work, not only in real life, but also on this blog of mine. I'm starting the new year with old stuff, but at the same time new stuff. Old-new stuff, then. Well, before I get even more cryptic, here's what it's about: The Buffetlibre DJs is a project from Spain; these guys are not only interested in promising new bands, but also in the older [...]
A Buffetlibre Dj's colabora pra gente começar bem o ano. Saiu, como era prometido, logo no primeiro dia do ano a segunda compilação da "Rewind" (falei da primeira aqui e aqui ). São releituras de músicas antigas, feitas por artistas novos. No caso da Rewind 1, a proposta era resgatar apenas músicas dos anos 80. Agora, o projeto abriu pra todas as épocas. Tanto é que você escuta, logo aí embaixo, uma releitura para a música "Y Control", da banda Yeah Yeah Yeahs . Tá tudo de graça pra ouvir e baixar no [...]

Our friends over at BUFFET LIBRES have been working hard on Part 2 of their 80's rewind Project. They've recruited a bunch of the most exciting up & comers from the blog-o-sphere to either cover, remix or rework their favorite 80's jams. What they've come up with is a fun collection of songs that makes so much sense it's a bit unreal (seeing as how so much of the current crop derives a lot of their sound from the 80's). You can get the whole thing from over at the BUFFET LIBRE site, but in [...]

Oh, sweet baby hay-zeus, this is so, so late. I bow my head in shame. Naturally, the tracks here don't necessarily reflect what is currently on Elbo.ws. 1. Jay-Z - "History" Download: Jay-Z - "History" An intentionally leaked track from J-ova's upcoming The Blueprint 3 , the Kanye West-produced song combines "Ye's recent forays into vocoder-town with his more 80s-inspired hook-ing. The result is a song that aims for gravitas, but falls short and becomes drab. Pails in comparison to Brother Ali's Obama jam. [...]

This post is rather heavy so fly away and look sharp. I have been sifting my mails and found out lots of monster mixtapes from DJs and artists. Others have been rotting in my mail all the time and some are newly sent. I have chosen four mixtapes to share to you- Lil Wayne 's Dedication 3, Leam or Rosebud 's Your Fucking Melting Pote, Buffet Libre 's Cover Projects and George O'Connor 's Audio Racquet. I had a blast listening to these tunes, everything's hard-thumping and will slap you in the [...]

We serve you a track to think about your adored girl - if her name is Juliet, take you back to your child memories of the Neverending Story movies and on top we put [...]
"Lives that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds, there upon the rainbow is the answer to a never ending story" Quale che sia il valore di un film come La storia infinita o il ricordo che la nostra incasinata generazione ne può avere, certo è che il film di Wolfgang Petersen si porta dietro una delle eredità più pesanti del cinema europeo. Per la pletora di ragazzini che negli anni '80 finirono sbattuti dentro cassonetti dai loro compagni di classe. Per lo sdoganamento del capezzolo: chi non ricorda i [...]
