ARGENTINA : Zonaindie Coiffeur - Humedad Coiffeur is not the name of a band, but the alias of a young folk singer and songwriter from Morón, a city in the greater Buenos Aires area). Humedad is one of the finest songs from his third album, El Tonel De Las Danaides, which was released this year by Estamos Felices (Argentina's coolest independent label, you should check them out). AUSTRALIA [...]
33 songs, 33 music blogs, 33 countries JAPAN : JPOP Lover Sonic Attack Blaster - 20000Volt Sonic Attack Blaster, an alternative band from Tokyo's underground scene, call their music 'samurai rock'. Their songs actually have Japanese retro melody lines that give them an early-90s feel. Interesting and really rather weird. Their new album will be released in January. Sonic [...]
Even the impending joy-burst that is Christmas can't stop the inter-blogging juggernaut that is the Music Alliance Pact, which zooms along like a monthly version of Santa, bearing gifts of song via one chimney-sized post. For our final MAP offering of 2009, we've chosen a track by ambitious Edinburgh-based group THE KAYS LAVELLE but there are plenty of other golden nuggets to discover, including a Portuguese artist who released a song on a little-known Scottish label, plus MAP's first ever submission from the Netherlands, who are represented by [...]
O David Santos, mais conhecido por Noiserv, é mais um dos jovens músicos na área do pop-rock que nós, portugueses, não merecemos mas que merece estar na Music Alliance Pact e ser divulgado nos 34 países, de todos os continentes, que participam nesta aliança. Ele tem demasiado talento para um país que dá mais horas de "airplay" a um qualquer alternativo de Liverpool ou Manchester ou Brooklyn,
I've never been a Sirius Satellite Radio subscriber, but I think I'm going to take the leap. I visited my parents in grand Cincinnati this weekend for the holidays and my mother and I also took the winding four hour drive through Tennessee, as they have a vacation cabin just outside of Knoxville. Along the way, I got to play with the in-dash satellite radio gadget. Sirius XMU is channel 43 on the dial, and while I've long been aware of the existence of the station, it was nice to finally listen in. The all-indie [...]
In September Zac Nelson of the bands Hexlove and Chll Pll -----> <-was nice enough to let me interview him about Chll Pll's debut release: Aggressively Humble. This being Camp Revival's debut interview, I didn't plan out those um, hmm... what are they called? Oh yeah: logistics. I had recorded my conversation with Zac on my phone, but didn't think about how I was going to pull that conversation off of my phone. After consulting these folks I was able to nab a very, very low quality version. [...]
Hella active drummer Zach Hill's in (and has been in) more bands than you want to try to list, but we've most recently caught him helping out Boredoms and Marnie Stern and toughening up Wavves (more on that in a sec) when not releasing his own " solo " material. In Chll Pll Hill he does what the band's name suggests, joining forces, calming down (a bit), and harmonizing with Hexlove's Zachary Nelson, who layers lapping electronics (complete with dark/"funky"/sometimes gentle pop hooks) over submerged drum play. You get a taste in the self-directed strobed video [...]

I got a nice little package in the mail a few weeks ago, an advance copy of the album dropping from newborn collaboration between Zach Hill (yes, ANOTHER project) and Zac Nelson (Hexlove, Trawler Bycatch): Chll Pll . Their first album, Agressively Humble, is due out October 20. Familiar with Zach Hill, I had my doubts as to whether it could actually sound much different from other projects, just due to the sheer number of them. Apparently he left some ground uncovered, which Chll Pll seems to fill in nicely- still driving and drum heavy, but with [...]
Know why Superman feels the need to save the newspaper industry? Because FREE sells more than un-free; or, in other words, the blogs are winning. But what is our society giving up by demanding so much of everything online to be "free"? That remains to be seen, but quality investigative journalism seems to be one of the early casualties. As for the music industry, it's a similar problem we're faced with. You want FREE. We give FREE. And somewhere kittens are crying. Huh? Whatever dude, it's FRIDAY! That's right woodchuck chuckers, it's Free Music Friday time on EF!! Guilt-free LEGAL [...]

Zach Hill is the John Henry of percussion. He has been destroying the need for drum machines since he first picked up drum sticks back in 1995.

I've only heard three tracks from CHLL PLL, but [...]

So, lofihatermagnet Wavves has a new mp3 posted on the GHOST RAMP blawg. Much like the last mp3 he posted, this one is long... almost 6 minutes!! Not sure if I absolutely love the new direction that Mr. Williams is going with these longers jamz, but this one is growing on me. Also, it being reported that Hella / CHLL PLL (among others) drummer Zach Hill has joined the Wavves organization in a full-time capacity. Listen to the results...
