It's been almost a year since Beck released an album of non-recorded sheet music . On the Fourth of July, he'll perform the material live for the first time during a star-studded concert at London's Barbican, which promises appearances from Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, Franz Ferdinand, Beth Orton, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and more, according to SPIN . Meanwhile, Beck has a number of upcoming U.S. tour dates scheduled for this summer, where he'll be previewing material from an upcoming acoustic record . Beck 2013 Tour Dates: [...]

Forthcoming plans following Beck 's last release, 20122s sheet music album of sorts Song Reader , have been vague and varying. But it seems like before an expected new acoustic album release later this year, Beck is to re-visit Song Reader one more time with a special London outing just announced. The American musician will appear at the capital's Barbican Centre on 4 July for a star-studded cast of big name companions, all contributing to perform the record in its entirety. [...]
It's not too often that a collision between two very musically diverse artists comes to fruition. However, for AM & Shawn Lee, their collaboration sprouted from an idiosyncratic shared passion: both were fans of vintage French and Italian Soundtrack music as well as digital effects from the '80s. The duo's ...

( Photo : Rukes ) C'est dans une interview avec Konbini que Pedro a lâché le morceau ! Après avoir produit l'album Outrun de Kavinsky, SebastiAn serait en train de produire deux nouveaux albums à savoir celui de Philippe Katerine et celui de Charlotte Gainsbourg. Pas de repos donc pour SebastiAn ! Notez que son adaptation de La Marseillaise devrait être disponible dans la prochaine compilation Ed Banger qui devrait sortir cette année. Cependant la décision n'a pas encore été prise et il se pourrait que la sortie de ce morceau [...]

The sun is out, the weekend's in sight, it's Valentine's Day, and we are feeling the love. Continental Records own Mannequine provides the perfect soundtrack for a great day like this with their glorious new remix of Rhye's The Fall . The brilliance is in the simplicity of their approach, spinning a crisp balearic beat around delicately distorted vocals, for a result both incredibly pleasant and easily absorbed. The Swiss duo has captured that early spring rolling into summer vibe to perfection here. Scoop up the download below, and make sure to grab [...]

There's a song, the third on The Moths Are Real (which just so happens to be the third full-length recording from London's very own Serafina Steer which, again coincidentally, was released just this week), that goes by the name the Ballad Of Brick Lane. It tells of its author's distaste for the tat-strewn and bric-a-brac-addled nonsenses of this particular part of E2, though as this afternoon bleakly ambles into evening hers is the name illumining the dim alleys of this widely derided, if with that wildly overvalued walkway. The bright splodges set against [...]

Over the course of this past year, we've upped the impetus placed upon live happenings and more significantly on those situated in and around London: nights on end spent out and about have become increasingly exhausting, as we strive to conjure an increasingly exhaustive coverage. Consequently we can only hope these are wearying steps in the right direction as, at least from a subjective perspective, witnessing your revered artists recite their most estimable pieces – in full as did some of the below, or otherwise – is a substantial chunk of what it's all about. Here we've more or less [...]

Parece mentira que haya pasado un año desde que me senté para hacer esto mismo. Tempus fugit que decían los romanos. Vuelta a repasar lo mejor que han dado estos últimos 360 días, tomando como vara de medir mi humilde opinión y lo publicado en el blog, así que si sobra o falta alguien por favor me lo disculpen. Como ya hiciera con anterioridad la cosa no va de números, me resulta imposible considerar por ejemplo que una canción disco es mejor que una rock, simplemente son incomparables así que tampoco tengan en cuenta el orden en el [...]

- Fatevi la tshirt - CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG PARADISCO (PWND! remix)

Personally, I've always found the most mystical thing about Natasha Khan to be that mystifying disconnect between she and song. The cute, faintly elfish sylph oft found enshrouded in cosmic imagery to have honed her craft down beside the seaside may not seem – at least superficially – the sort to conjure the bridled torment of PJ Harvey's truly petrifying White Chalk , and yet much of previous LP Two Suns was not insubstantially akin to that richly emotive vein of pallid paean. However in place of Harvey's vivid conceptualising of the spectral wanderer – alone in [...]
Like its Southern California influences in the Paisley Underground (Rain Parade, Three O’Clock), named as an homage to the psychedelic heyday of Jefferson Airplane and Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Green Pajamas must hold the world’s record for most albums (somewhere around 30) recorded by a band with the fewest number of live appearances (somewhere more [...]
It's been a pretty bad summer to be French. They had to watch in envy as London hosted the Olympics, got eliminated early from the European Football Champions, and then Mitt Romney chose to visit Poland instead. Hmph. However, we haven't forgotten about our Gallic cousins. Today's Friday Five features our favorite songs from French artists, spanning hip-hop, house, and indie. 1. Original post: Friday Five: Ooh La La! 5 Favorite French Artists 2. Posted in: hip-hop [...]

Would a woman named Shia LaBeouf get away with the things a guy called Shia says and does? Famous women may often get a free pass for cheating (would Jodie Foster publicly defend Adam Hann-Byrd, who played her son in Little Man Tate , for hooking up with someone who wasn't his girlfriend, the way she recently stood up for Kristen Stewart, her Panic Room daughter who just broke Robert Pattinson's heart?), but that might be where their lucky breaks end. Famous men not only get paid better (generally [...]

Beautiful new mix to match up with all this beautifyul weather we've been having. This is HELIOS ' second feature on Get Lifted Tonight and I can tell you now there will be more. Mixing the tranquil and melodic piano with chill out vocals of the world's best Nu-Disco and Chill Out vibes, HELIOS shows us the calmer side of electronic in 2012. Bringing together RAC , Lana Del Rey , Le Youth and many more into a blend of relaxing feel good mixtape, this is the type of mix [...]
Here's a pitch I couldn't resist: Scarlett Johansson recorded a song with Lulu Gainsbourg , whose father Serge was a celebrated French singer/songwriter. The song is Bonnie & Clyde and it was originally performed by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot . Lulu is putting out an album of covers of his dad's songs in October, From Gainsbourg to Lulu . In 2009, Serge's daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg , put out an excellent album of her own, the Beck [...]

Allow us to cogitate on the era-wearied inquisition as to the ideal dinner party conglomeration of celebrities of various lists a minute, if you will. We'd be fretting and pouring profuse sweat into letters addressed to Albarn, Annie Clark, Sharon Van Etten , brothers Mothersbaugh and Charlotte Gainsbourg I should suspect but were we mulling over some twisted yet truly stimulating breakfast date to prelude another well-nigh perfect day in the sun? Well, a brain-scoff 'til bloated with Henry Rollins would surely be right up there... [...]
