Stock images make me lol. They never, in any way, reflect how life really works. For example, you don't smile when you're moving. Carrying boxes is in no way a joyful experience. Maybe these folks are just happy and pumped on bro's new eyebrow piercing. I dunno. Stock images. Anyway... yes, we too will be enjoying the splendor and fun of moving over the next few days, just like those kids above. L-Train and I are staying in Louisville, of course, and Bloggins Base Camp will remain in The Highlands. While a simple half-mile move south down Bardstown [...]
wooo yes a podcast! this could be the first of an occasional series or a one-off. who knows. anyway, this comes courtesy of our man just outside leicester, crayola, aka the man behind sarandon, drink milk design (he's just done john robb's new book cover) and my godson george. he has excellent taste and indeed is responsible for providing me with some of the choicer rips available on tba in recent weeks. and this is his podcast: ::: carcass - festerday ::: kenny process team - ronald frazer munro ::: the spores - freezing point ::: [...]

Official Website | Myspace | Facebook | Twitter The week long music festival that most serious music lovers around these parts awaits each and every year for is back for it's 8th edition. It shall go down in most venues all over this fine city of ours starting September 30th trough October 4th. Pop MTL has been very good [...]
Henry Cow (listen to In Praise HERE , sample any of their songs HERE ) are one of those bands that always get short shrift from just about everybody. Not as cool as Gong, not as hip as Can, not as weird as Faust and not near as popular as Neu! and Kraftwerk. If anything though, their relative obscurity lends them a certain credibility. While mod-prog heads worship Mars Volta and only skim the surface for MV's influences, great bands like Henry Cow and Soft Machine are waiting for those [...]
My Troubled Mind —released digitally and on happily hostile 10" vinyl, as perfectly fits the world's only Dorothy Ashby fan with a SHUT UP STUPID BITCH! t-shirt—is nominally an instrumental beat record. But play it at Dub Club, at Mas Exitos, at Echo Curio or at Manimal Fest and it will fit like it was especially commissioned. In seven songs and snippets, he dissolves and resolves together again dub and psych and hip-hop and rock and kraut and electronics and if not now he'll certainly soon grab Pete Drake and his talking guitar and claw off a little piece of [...]
One evening in October 1952 Stanley Glickman, a young artist living in Paris, accepted an invitation from an acquaintance to join him and some fellow Americans at the Cafe Select, a popular spot among writers and artists. There, the conversation turned into a heated political debate lasting several hours. When Glickman decided it was time to leave, one of the men offered to buy him a drink to soothe any hard feelings. Rather than ask the waiter, the man himself went to the bar and brought drinks back to the table. Glickman noticed he had a club foot. [...]

Guten Tag, Leute ... Continuing our summer tenpack series, For The Sake Of The Song goes all German on you this time. So put on your Lederhosen and enjoy a krautrock primer of sorts, showcasing the various exciting directions - electronic pop, avant-garde rock, neo-classical, ambient avant la lettre and a mix of all these - this utterly surprising genre could take. Auf wiedersehen! Faust - It´s A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl MP3 Can - Splash MP3 [...]
What I wrote last night about Faust coming to Lexington this fall turns out to be absolutely true. The date was added to the group's MySpace page today (there's something intrinsically funny about legendary German experimental musicians peeping their MySpace page), as well as the rest of their tour of the U.S. No more news on this WRFL Fest in Lexington, but my assumption is that the new, large, renovated Buster's may have something to do with this one (it will be the largest music club in the city's history with a 1000+ capacity). On the [...]
There's a rumor, just a rumor, that Faust might be playing at this mysterious WRFL Fest in Lexington. This is the same festival that Os Mutantes will be appearing. I know nothing more, nothing less. But man, if Faust is coming anywhere near this region, count me in. Again, this is unconfirmed. But, shit... Faust. This was the group that wrote and recorded Faust IV , ya know? Man. Faust. Brain's smartin' just thinking about it. MP3 ::: Faust - Just a Second (Starts Like [...]
In 1968, far from the long-hair tent, artists like the Velvet Underground and the often-forgotten Silver Apples were pushing the envelope of rock music in artier, and far more dangerous, directions.

Many of the festivals big acts were announced today including Fever Ray, Butthole Surfers, Dinosaur Jr., Lou Barlow and The Missingmen, Diamanda Galas, Os Mutantes, Roxanne Shante, Faust, and (perhaps the strangest of all announcements) the Dalai Lama. Other acts announced are after the jump. Other early confirmations include: Mono, DJ /Rupture, Tobacco, Lemonade, (Ghislain) Poirier, Chairlift, Matt & Kim, Iris Dement, Loudon Wainwright III, Wovenhand, Destroyer, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Thee Oh Sees, The Intelligence, The Homosexuals, Bajofondo, tUnE-YaRdS, Zombie Disco [...]
Acid Logic What is a furry? It is simply a person who prefers to have sex with other persons who happened to be dressed up as giant stuffed animals I always knew I was... different. Even as a child, I stood apart from the rest. Some little boys profess a love for the paraphernalia of manhood at an early age, eagerly playing with Tonka trucks or riding about in jazzed up three wheelers. Other young lads dance to a different drummer [...]
—Newish blog alert: The Cargo Culte has been throwing up some interesting stuff lately, like this Faust + Nurse with Wound full length that I'd never heard of before, this strange Damo Suzuki choose-your-own-adventure , and generally speaking just a lot of great mixes on a regular basis. Bookmark 'em—and dig through their archives while you're at it. — Big States put up a series of great videos from the Clean . I really need to pick up their anthology. I have a handful [...]
Os Faust estão no imaginário colectivo dos apreciadores do krautrock, ou do progressivo ou do avant-gard, ou como quiserem apelidar a música da formação germânica dos anos 70. Este colectivo caracterizou-se pela busca, e invenção sonora, a par de outras formações suas conterrâneas, como os CAN, os Kraftwerk, os Tangerine Dream, os Cluster, entre outros, sendo no entanto, na minha opinião, a que mais aprofundou o espírito experimental. Os Faust, são ainda hoje uma referência no panorama musical, sendo os quatro primeiros discos verdadeiras obras-primas. No final da década de 60, os Faust surgiram de uma geração de jovens alemães [...]
Radio comes on: Faust?! Yeah, if Faust had snorted an eight ball and shotgunned a six pack of Red Bull. Higamos Hogamos debut LP (s/t) was released almost a month ago on DC Recordings , and, once again, I'm behind the curve. Dosen't matter, a tune this good, I'm just happy to have found it. Their album is so conflicted, ranging from the depths of Kraut to funky disco break beats. Not much to be said in thier vocals, but try not to get lost in the instrumental madness. "Major Blitzkreig", one of my favs on the [...]
Orders from the Fire Marshal sent the marathon Fauxchella festival packing from the announced Traction Ave. venue earlier in the week, but by showtime on Good Friday organizers had moved the event to gamier precincts many blocks away. Hangar 1018 is beloved of the downtown party set and I know the space well, having wandered along its sketchy and verminous stretch of S. Santa Fe many times in various states of hallucinogenic inebriation. Inside, instead of the usual haul of faux-fur and near-naked ladies, were a couple hundred gamboling on the fragments of their Eastside Cool. I was waved past [...]
