Fad Gadget tribute in NY this month (exhibition opens tonight)

Mar 1, 2012, 4:38pm BrooklynVegan
Fad Gadget tribute in NY this month (exhibition opens tonight) As Fad Gadget , [Franklin Tovey's] music was characterized by a use of synthesizers in conjunction with sounds of found objects, including drills and electric razors. His bleak, sarcastic, and darkly humorous lyrics, often layered in meaning and discussing subjects such as machinery, building construction, human sexuality, and physical violence, were sung in a droning, often expressionless voice... He continued to perform live, and was working on a new album at the time of his death. Tovey suffered from heart problems since his childhood, and died of a heart attack on 3 April 2002 at the age of 45. [...]

Duvara Karşı

Feb 6, 2012, 6:05am HappyBlueMondays
Duvara Karşı 24 Ağustos 1961: Günter Litfin , Doğu Almanya'dan kaçarken öldürülen ilk insan oldu. Almanya'nın doğu ve batı olarak ikiye bölünmesinden sonra, stalinist Doğu Almanya'da insanlık dışı bir sömürüye tabi tutulmaya başlayan işçiler, kitleler halinde batıya kaçmaya başladılar. Doğu Almanya hükümeti işçilerin kaçışını engellemek için Berlin'i bir duvarla ikiye ayırdı ve batıya geçişleri yasakladı. Batıya kaçmak isteyen Günter Litfin vurularak öldürülen ilk kişi oldu. Bir terzi olan Günter Litfin Berlin 'in doğusunda oturuyor, ancak batısında çalışıyordu. Şehrin batı kısmında bir ev tutmuştu ve [...]

Cold Melancholy Mixtape

Sep 27, 2011, 8:18pm HARTZINE
Cold Melancholy Mixtape Les lumières flottent, illuminant ça et là les quelques parcelles de mon visage salement écorné de fatigue. Nous sommes seuls, la nuit s'amenuise. Mes mains vagabondent dans ton dos le temps d'une ultime étreinte lascive, fugitive. Rien d'autre qu'une esquisse d’émotion délayée de larmes. Le regard vacillant, perdu à jamais dans un ciel dénué d'idoles, je m'enfonce dans un silence inaudible et intenable. Des limbes où l'habitude de vivre et l'hébétude du quotidien ne font plus qu'un. Sans doute, ne suffit-il pas de partir pour se sentir vivre. ( Download ) 01. Dark [...]

Fad Gadget - Fireside Favourite

Apr 21, 2011, 9:19pm Doklands
The 1980s taught men how to be resourceful. What was the use of living in terror of nuclear holocaust if you couldn't exploit that to get your leg over? Wait long enough and there's a silver lining to everything. And then the whole world goes white and you melt. Fireside Favourite is a satirical gem from the late Frank Tovey, all smarm and deadpan cheese. These days it might get labelled dark wave or something, but that's a terribly unhelpful way of describing this, and it's a term that's been retroactively applied to [...]

I should try my hand at horoscopes. Hey Aries, you're going to shit your pants this week. Pisces, you will find yourself drunk at least once. Uh oh, Leo…you have cancer. Poor Leo.

Mixing Pop and Politics (13)

Nov 24, 2010, 9:21am Inveresk Street Ingrate
Obscure Factoid of the Day Haven't done one of these for a while. Taking the wee one to the Doctors' last night for his flu shot meant that I missed Wayne Price's meeting on his new book , Anarchism & Socialism: Reformism or Revolution?, at Bluestockings bookstore but, just this minute looking at the website for NEFAC, I couldn't help but notice that I've seen that image of the bloke with the black flag before. Looks like someone in the NEFAC has a penchant for early eighties leftfield electro-pop. If [...]

Monday Music – 22 November 2010

Nov 22, 2010, 5:04pm Some Of It Was True!
God.. 5am bedtimes, missed train stations, late-night bus hell.. it's been a week where I've really needed these songs: Pepper Rabbit - Red Wine ( mp3 ) I've featured this before but it bears repeating.  A preposterously-unheralded duo from LA, Pepper Rabbit sit somewhere between the saintly, tremulous sound of Jeff Buckley and early Yeasayer, before they discovered synths.  Their music seems somehow very touching: in the right situation, it leaves me light-headed and shaky. I can only guess what this particular lullaby's about, but like to think that the mystery drinker of singer Xander's [...]

and the record of the day…

Sep 28, 2010, 2:04am The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
is a record that is guaranteed to be a record of the year candidate here on ze blog. The debut record by les Detachments! The record came out today through up and coming indie label Thisisnotanexit whom you will be hearing a lot about over the next few months. The love-child of Fad Gadget and early OMD raised by Cabaret Voltaire has finally descended on us (well...those of you in the UK) to paraphrase Orange Juice, rip it up and start again. The record blends early industrial, coldwave and a tinge of synthpop to create an opaque masterpiece. Consider this [...]

Detachments - Holiday Romance
I've been waiting feverishly for something new from Detachments for a minute now. My patience...has been rewarded as the new single Holiday Romance has arrived. No pun is intended here but it must be noted that it's very difficult to sound any more detached or disinterested than Detachments. That is a good thing in my book. The band carries a certain air of danger that is missing right now among the new breed of electronic bands. With a tinge of A Broken Frame -era Depeche Mode and a bit of Fad Gadget, Detachments sound like they could [...]
