Age Sex Location. Not something I'd ask a legless homeless man. But 10 years back, before "LOL" existed, well, "ASL" prominently dominated the virtual world. It just hit me, how forward the 90's where. You'd have to enter them hip yahoo chatrooms, and well, webcam yourself seductively, in order to win yourself a man. Yes, I might of been soul searching when I was 10. I killed all my barbies, and by killed, I mean, cut their hair, removed their arms, poked their eyes out, and threw them in the bin. Those bitches saw it coming. Point is, I'm Macbook [...]

dritter und letzter tag melt! 2008. und damit auch der letzte teil unseres nachberichts. am sonntag hiess es endlich einmal ausschlafen, da die erste band erst um 16:30 spielte. zum zeitvertreib trainierten wir unsere musikalische (und trash-fernseh-) allgemeinbildung beim band- und fernsehserien raten in stadt-land-fluss-manier, spielten flunkyball (???) und banden uns neonfarbene zeltschnüre um den kopf, um den new-rave-kleidungsstil der kids von heute zu karikieren. oder einfach, um nicht mehr so aufzufallen.

![Congolese Musical Legend Said To Be In Brussels Hospital [Rumors]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1166590_lg.jpg)
Though they haven't been widespread, there was rumor over the last week as to the condition of Tabu Ley Rochereau, the Congolese singer and band leader who is one of the absolute great pop talents of the last 50 years. (If you need convincing, go straight to Sterns Music's The Voice of Lightness: Congo Classics 1961-1977 . It's the album I have put on for pleasure more than almost any other in the past 12 months.) A few days ago, Ken Braun of Sterns Music emailed that he'd gotten indirect word from a former bandmate [...]
dieses jahr hat das melt! einen tag mehr. auch der sonntag steht noch ganz im zeichen von musik, tanzen und guter laune. oder so. der sonntag beinhaltet zwar nur wenige bands, aber die haben es dafür in sich. mehr wie immer nach dem klick auf erstes highlight am sonntag ist dann sicherlich get well soon. die band mit dem momentan wohl bombastigsten sound. zumindest in deutschland, zumindest auf dem melt!. wir haben die musik zwar schon seit ewiger zeit [...]
Well, one thing leads to another and after picking through the list I mentioned the other day, discovered The Epochs , seen here performing beneath a humongous ice tray. I do not hate their air piano sound. Are baseball caps in rock are making a comeback? (See drummer.) Anything to replace fedoras, I say. Plus a few other old songs below, more for my own edification than anything else. Be sure to download the Epoch songs if you love the pop pop pop music like I do. And of course it goes without [...]
If you remember Verve from the 1st time around then you'll more than likely know the inspiration behind Get Well Now's Underworld cover. 'Born Slippy' was the trio's biggest hit, undoubtedly helped on its way by the song's inclusion on the 'Trainspotting' soundtrack. If any one tune encapsulated the lad culture and general mayhem of the mid-nineties it was this one. The Nuxx appendage refers to

(s'il y a des réclamations à faire sur le sens du titre, merci de les adresser à google translation) ______________________________ ______________________________ ________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________________________ Comme tu le sais sans doute déjà, Get Well Soon est un one man band: Konstantin Gropper. C'est un allemand, plutôt maigrichon malgré son nom. Il est entouré de quelques amis/musiciens mais, si j'ai bien compris, il a enregistré tout l'album tout seul chez lui, soit à Mannheim (is) soit à Berlin (pinpin), ça dépend des versions... Comme on s'en fout, [...]
There's a fine line between catchy and annoying. There's plenty of song hooks that feel great when they dig in and the trip back for more is done for pleasure, but there are times when the return to a song is made because something is so irritating that repeat listens are almost done out of some sort of pop masochism. Sometimes it works out, like when LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk Is Playing At

"Dans les palaces, il y a aussi de belles histoires, pour les connaître... traversez le miroir !" Voilà ce que m'inspire la musique de Get Well Soon en une phrase. Le projet emmené par le jeune Konstantin Gropper dégage en effet une mélancolie de chaque instant parsemée d'un certain art de la facétie (la reprise d'underworld [...]

Oh how we love free music! In the spirit of giving, Get Well Soon are giving away an MP3 of the opening track from their debut album "Rest Now, Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon!" which is released in the UK on May 26th. They were a likely listen of ours...so you know we dig 'em. Get Well Soon - Prelude
Get Well Soon se numeşte trupa neamţului Konstantin Gropper. În 18 ianuarie şi-a lansat albumul de debut, Rest Now, Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon. După trei ani de activitate muzicală, şi-a adunat cele mai bune piese şi le-a inclus pe acest album, fie aducând a folk sau electro, inspirate din muzică pop sau clasică, [...]

You Should Know Get Well Soon should be the next buzzworthy indie band... and if that prediction doesn't pan out, it's simply because not enough people heard 25 year-old Konstantin Gropper's eclectic music. The new album from the German songwriter, Rest Now, Weary Head ! You Will Get Well Soon, is stylistically varied enough to remind me of anyone from Interpol to Radiohead to Patrick Wolf to Nick Cave. With folksy guitars intermingling [...]

Paul Hartnoll - "Nothing Else Matters" Once making up the half of British electronica duo Orbital, Paul Hartnoll is now flying solo but isn't straying too far from his former path. He has incorporated more acoustics into his sound, mostly strings, but it's still electronica at the core. South London's Akayzia Parker lends her vocals to "Nothing Else Matters", a beautiful track that brings Portishead and Hooverphonic to mind. Black Kids - "Love Me Already" This band just can't seem not to [...]
It's February 1st, a day that will forever remind me that the bitterest winter weather really has yet to come (here in the Northeast, t-shirt weather doesn't really start until mid-March). But with the bad, good things always come, and I think I've found the band to carry me through the rest of this vicious and dark month. Maybe it'll make sure I make it past Valentine's Day emotionally unscathed. I used to bury my head in the snow to let my anti-capitalist and anti-romantic frustration hibernate, but I damn near froze my ears off. Now [...]
