wir hatten erst kürzlich auf hometapes aufmerksam gemacht, den zusammenhang stellten megafaun her. sie reiten ihrem neuen album entgegen, hometapes hievten sie dafür auf die gäule. dass das label eine menge mehr draufhat, wollen wir beweisen, in dem wir Euch einige der angebotenen pretiosen zu gehör bringen. ich möchte dabei kaum mehr auf die einzelnen kapellen eingehen, weil doch die musik deutlich für sich spricht. außerdem hat die erfahrung gezeigt, dass die viele arbeit ohne reflexion blieb. das ist es dann nicht unbedingt wert. ansonsten gilt es auf [...]
Image Credit: Courtney Brooke 2009 is already lining up to be a good year with new records in the pipelines from Alela Diane, Vetiver, Akron/Family, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Bill Callahan, Bruce Springsteen, Wooden Shjips, M Ward, Grizzly Bear, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Bosque Brown, Marissa Nadler and Jim White to name but a few; as well as the long awaited Neil Young Archives Volume One. One band I would love to see a new long player from this year is Feathers. Their sole commercially released full length effort (there [...]
"You Got Troubles" (Sam Sam, 1975) Here's the B-side of Feather's "Stupid Girl" single for everyone who wanted it. "You Got Troubles" is probably the earliest song that Alan Ward and Mike Butcher wrote together. Coming just after the break up of Bastard, the band Alan Ward had been involved in with future Damned guitarist Brian James. You've seen the sleeve already and as is normally the
"Stupid Girl" (Sam Sam, 1975?) Feather was yet another Alan Ward and Mike Butcher pre-Elton Motello one-off, their first in fact, pre-dating that killer Rollerball single. Mike Butcher reckons that this was probably recorded in 1974, though we'll guess '75. Maybe if those small Belgian labels had bothered to date the labels of their records, we'd then know for sure. "Stupid Girl" is a cover
Crikey, yet another new Final Fantasy MP3, this time courtesy of Zoilus . It's another one from the Lukashevsky-homage disc, (Final Fantasy) Plays To Please ; a real old-timey movie kinda tune: ::: Final Fantasy - Horsetail Feathers :::
I'm scared to post Deathcab and Decemberists tracks because it's a little too high profile for me and I don't want to invite any hassles even though I'm just trying to help bands find new fans. So I decided to make an alternatives kind of post. While I don't write about mellow music all too often there are some bands worth a mention. These bands in particular share a few common things, namely the non-rock band instrumentation and the anachronistic styles of yesteryear. I'm pretty new to the first couple of bands. but I've been a [...]
So one of the best things about my random, is sometimes I hear songs I probably have never listened to more than once... SO below is a great song, that before yesterday. For fans of 70's rock, Dungen, etc... Feathers - Skara Brain
After a few days of deliberation, I've decided that I cannot hide my geeky LOST fan persona any longer. I've got to air some ideas about Season Four, and you're going to have to listen (sorry!). I know how embarrassing this should be for me. Devoting a blog entry to a television show...is a sentence rife with material that any one of you could use to mercilessly taunt me. Whatever, so I like the prime-time, epic docudrama. I'm sure all your closets have skeletons in them too. Here's where I point and laugh to [...]

Gelukkig is ditalles nu voorbij en we kunnen weer gaan genieten van heerlijke muziek.Laten we beginnen met wat fijne folkmuziek. Ik heb een zwak voor defreaky-folk-scene. De muzikanten zijn vaak zo bedreven en geven echtalles voor hun muziek. Binnenkort mogen we alwee...
THIS WEEK'S FINDS week of Nov. 5-11 "Fifteen On Ice" - Tall Hands Singer Justin Raisen has sure enough got Lou Reed's blasé NYC dude delivery down pat, but with a twist: while Reed tended to sing as if the apocalypse were just around the corner (not that this fazed him, mind you), Raisen sounds as if he actually knows how to smile. Not that he is smiling, but that he knows how, he and the other five members of Tall Hands. You can hear it in the upbeat piano [...]

Six teams on the bye this week. I think I heard that it was the first time they've had that many off in one week. The NFL is doing it again next week too. It's murder on many fantasy footballers, but I somehow managed a huge day behind Tomlinson, Houshamazilli (championship!), Brees and Willie Parker. Detroit 20, Buffalo 17 The Lions finally got off the shnide! Big days by running back Kevin Jones and wide receiver Roy Williams finally got the Lions their first win. [...]
BRIDGES AND POWERLINES Bridges and Powerlines are the artists formerly known as Sunspots. They had to change their name ‘cause there was another Sunspots out there. Straightforward, fun and loud 80s rock. I’m diggin’ it. Kinda Interpol-y, don’tcha think? Bridges and Powerlines--"Carmen" . Bridges and Powerlines--"Mumbles" . Bridges and Powerlines--"All In" . FEATHERS [...]

Raised on bands like The Pixies and The Smiths, Eddie Alonso's musical boundaries broadened upon hearing Can's Ege Bamyasi . From that point forward Alonso worried less about using his music to tell a particular story, and instead concentrated on mesmerizing the listener. With his work cut out for him Alonso honed his recording skills and hoarded music gear with his "Canned" inspired musical theory in mind. Writing music with his bandmates, Matt Crum and Eric Rasco, under the moniker Feathers, the trio merges all styles without working towards any sound in particular. What emerges are riveting instrumental [...]
