Hoy, el hombre detrás de la mascara que esconde tantos misterios, está cumpliendo 57 años de vida. Douglas Pearce es su nombre, y es la mente que le da vida a este viaje que a lo largo de su historia se ha visto envuelto en diversas polémicas que van desde sus primeros montajes en vivo, hasta las letras de sus composiciones que por lo regular deben de ser analizadas con mucha inteligencia. Hoy, además he decidido arrancar con una 'sección semanal' en la que les estaré platicando un poco sobre discos clásicos que han ido teniendo un enorme impacto en [...]
Which vocal-less albums are instrumental to your existence?
dave van patten Seattle’s King Dude was originally gonna be an all-male a capella group, but then Dude ended up going alone to places where no a capella group could save him. Now (when he’s not selling you skull necklaces or Cross of Lorraine leggings through his clothing line, Actual Pain) he makes murder-ballad Americana with the same doomy feel as Skip Spence, Michael Gira or Will Oldham, or EVEN Bruce Springsteen if you listen to the right album. He speaks now about how to trick AC/DC fans into buying your album. [...]
A note about the Mousemas Eve fundraiser: Backers: 4 $115.00 Pledged of $500 Goal 3 Days to go I received no donations yesterday. This is mildly disturbing. Why? Because I went ahead and preemptively bought the 34-person party bus for Monday night, so now I'm out $750. Even if I get 34 people on the [...]

Last night I had the great privilege of watching Swan Fungus super-friend William Fowler Collins perform at Human Resources in Chinatown here in LA. He was joined on stage by Aaron Turner (Isis, Old Man Gloom, Lotus Eaters, et. al.). The duo gave me the best non-pharmaceutically-aided opiate rush I've felt in a while. Tomorrow [...]
![[Listen] Southern Sadness: "Ku Ku Ku" (Death In June Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4399704_lg.jpg)
Death In June es una de mis cosas favoritas de la vida, y sin duda es uno de mis proyectos favoritos de toda la historia debido a todo el archivo que hay detras de la ideologia y las tematicas que se manejaban dentro de sus composiciones, sin mecionar que fueron (y fue) de los pioneros de lo que mas tarde se le comenzo a denominar como neo-folk. Por fortuna, en la actualidad una enorme cantidad de proyectos han tomado como punto de referencia el trabajo de Douglas Pearce con Death In June, asi que ya se me habia estado [...]

Este tipo de cosas son las que hacen que me caiga el veinte de que realmente ya ha pasado un año desde que les puse un playlist para esta ocasion con tan solo un par de semanas de haber iniciado con todo este asunto del blog y claro, como ya ha pasado un año y estamos de nueva cuenta dentro de todas esas 'celebraciones' que en si, para ser un tipo de México para muchos podria parecerles una gran mamada ya que todo el asunto de Halloween es de los 'gringos' y nosotros solo debemos enfocarnos en el Dia de [...]
It's been a long day. At 10pm last night I boarded a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey. To my complete disappointment the flight time was just a shade over four hours. Usually it's five-and-a-half to six hours. Even with a shot of Jameson to wash down the Xanax I only slept [...]
Hace exactamente un año llegue aqui con mi primer post, fue con el reciente lanzamiento del video de " Undertow " de Warpaint y a partir de ahi comenzaron a aparecer diariamente mas y mas post con informacion un poco mas precaria a la que pueden encontrar aveces en los 'articulos' mas recientes...Yep, este post esta dedicado al aniversario de este blog y en si no voy a entrar en comentarios agradeciendo a mi familia, amigos, novia no existente o dandole gracias a alguna deidad por que no estoy siendo el ganador de algun premio, digo, para los [...]
Dans la continuité de la célébration du trentenaire de Death in June , New European Recordings vient de ressortir l'ultra-culte Nada! (1985) dans un coffret de trois disques agrémenté d'enregistrements additionnels d'époque, de lives et de nouvelles versions plutôt dispensables. Quoi qu'il en soit, Nada Plus! contient l'album à la fois le plus expérimental et le plus abouti du groupe : assez pour faire tomber les masques et les casques à pointe... Une fois passée la surprise suscitée par l'objet en lui-même, où bonus exhaustifs, artwork malheureusement révisé au détriment de la superbe pochette d'origine, DVD, [...]
Anthology Film Archives will be featuring screenings of Larry Wessel's four hour documentary on cult figure/artist/musician, Boyd Rice , ICONOCLAST: Boyd Rice . Screenings at the East Village institution are August 20-21 at 7:00PM each night, and tickets are available here . For those of you who may not be familiar with Mr. Rice's oeuvre, allow us to give you some background: Boyd Rice first came to prominence in the 1970s as one of the founders of the genre known as Industrial Music. Since then, Rice has enjoyed a career spanning four decades, encompassing [...]
Tombs' Path Of Totality topped my list of the Top 26 Metal Albums Of 2011 So Far . I was curious what sort of personal soundtrack went into that muscular, violent, surprisingly delicate and detailed blend of New York noise-rock, black metal, and industrialized blast-beat shoegaze, so I asked them to make a related mix. Before you listen, take a look at vocalist/guitarist/band leader Mike Hill's thoughts on his appropriately dark, punk, and very heavy inspiration playlist. He offers insightful background for fans of the album/trio, but even if you're not into Tombs, [...]
As I mentioned the other day, I'm heading home for 8 days on Monday night. The prospect of traveling back east isn't quite as exciting as it usually is because I just saw my folks and a couple good friends back in April. Still, my schedule is already packed with a lot of cool things [...]
Ladytron completely make over Death In June's 'Little Black Angel' turning it into an instant dance-floor classic!
Miro Snejdr seems like a fine pianist. Douglas P.'s songwriting, on the other hand, has fallen off a cliff. Based on his performance throughout both Peaceful Snow and Lounge Corps, Miro Snejdr is a fine pianist. This must be established outright, because he is not to be held responsible for this atrocity of an album. No, the blame for this must lie with Death in June guiding light Douglas P., who sought out Snejdr to play piano for his new album based on some of his YouTube videos of Death in June songs reinterpreted...
