photo from Consumer Reports I can't remember a previous January where there has been this much new music coming out, but I'm old and my synapses don't connect they way the use to. I do remember maybe a few releases trickling out at the end of January and then not much happening until March or April. Well, it's a new decade and we've hit the ground running, out with the old, etc. The last few weeks have been total pop overload, and to give you an idea of the crazy amounts of good [...]
I was introduced to the Filthy Little Angels independent label, based in Nelson, UK and which has recently celebrated its 5th anniversary, through the fabulous Captain Polaroid who is part of it (check out the Point and Click EP for free download ; previously featured here in Issue #20 : "It's easy to hear a true enjoyment of the creation of music itself here, from the seamless flow through musical styles to the quirky, lo-fi sound overall." ), yet another fortuitous meeting via the Manic Street Preachers-fanworld I've been enveloped in [...]

Rather embarrassingly I dropped the ball on a post I wanted to do. This post! Over a month ago I received an email from Darren who is behind Filthy Little Angels . Very nice email exchange we had and he turned me onto some great stuff! So first up will be Horowitz who have put stuff out on various labels, including Filthy Little Angels. Horowitz are an indie pop band from England. This song, Sweetness, I Could Die in Your Arms , has fuzzy guitar running throughout which really saves [...]
We suppose we should start at the beginning of the story, which is this: when we were music director at the radio station of our small liberal arts college in Connecticut in 1996 we took delivery of copious excellent records. And in those days, pre- ubiquitous Interhoozle and MySpazzz and all that, one reliable indicator of whether the indie rock you were about to hear was any good was what label it was released on. So when we saw a new CD EP come through the door that spring from the very respectable Che Records, we took notice. The disc [...]
Hello everyone! Well.....have you recovered yet? Wasn't it GREAT! Who can forget the Christmassy marquee, the storming sets from all three bands, that Snowman outfit and the disco in the dark? There's already a few reviews online - check out the blog of Kris from A Smile and a Ribbon , who entertained everyone with his wonderfully chosen records - and you can see his uber-impressive playlist there too! Also, we just want to say a big thanks to reviewer Julie Weston and her young daughter Mabel who came along from Egigs- visit the site to see [...]
Only one more day to go til Christmas Twee now, and we can barely contain our excitement any more - don't forget to make your Secret Santa CDs! There's also a really useful running order up now on the website too. Good luck choosing your dancing shoes and glitzy festive outfts! In the meantime, the ever lovely Horowitz talk to us about attracting indiepop bands to Stoke, their year in music and what makes their perfect Christmas... Hello Horowitz! You're managing to attract lots of top-notch bands to play in little old Stoke-on-Trent at the moment [...]
Horowitz are Ian and Pete from Stoke-On-Trent. They are into all things DIY, noisy and FUN! Their infectiously catchy fuzz-guitar pop tunes have already delighted pop kids at the Indietracks 2007 festival, and now we're pleased to announce that they're back to play at Christmas Twee! They released their debut album, Frosty Cat Songs in 2006, a must-have for any indiepop record collection, and have since released the excellent Traceyanne single. We're really excited that they're joining us!
by lora kolodny You may have heard of new media artist, sculptor, printmaker, photographer, painter (etc.) Jonathan Horowitz , perhaps been lucky enough to see his work in the MoMA collection , the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, or Migros museum in Zurich. ACROSS THE WIRE BY BLUE STATES: This season, Horowitz has had a lot to say about voting, politics and media in the United States. Mostly, he's said [...]

Iceland Airwaves er svona eins of fyrsti snjórinn, læðist að manni og skellur á öllum að óvörum þótt allir viti hann sé á leiðinni. Og ég stend hérna á sumardekkjunum og veit ekkert hvað ég ætla að sjá, eða hvernig maður ætti að plögga sínu eigin bandi sem best. Á maður ekki að sitja bara og þamba kaffi á einhverjum pöbbnum og vonast maður rekist á virtan blaðamann frá útlöndum? Híma fyrir utan Media Centerið í Skífunni? Á maður að gefa alla diskana sem eftir eru? Seinustu ár hafa farið 60 diskar í einhverja blaðamenn sem hvort [...]
Orkut My Space Deve ser raro encontrar alguém que não ligue tanto assim para o arte gráfica em si. Falo isso porque muitas vezes (muitas vezes mesmo) acabei indo atrás de bandas por gostar da capa de um Ep/single/Lp. Mas onde quero chegar é algo parecido com uma frase do gênio Paul Thomas Anderson, de que Coisas Simplesmente Acontecem . Imaginem só, vc vê a tal capa toda colorida feito colagem, descobre que é duma banda inglesa com um nome estranho (...Horowitz?!), e com o [...]
Yes, I realize it's not Friday, but this still the next installment in our Friday Mixtape series. Tell us band/artist you like best, and we'll feature them in an upcoming "Listen" segment. Food for Animals - "Planet Say" Panther - "Puerto Rican Jukebox" (Lip and Ribs remix) Health - "The Problem Is" Projekt A-Ko - "Otaku Blue" Horowitz - "It's [...]
Project A-KO and Horrowitz (If you couldn't tell from the album cover) have a lot of love for each other, hence why they're releasing a split album. Project A-KO, taking their name from a popular anime series, is a shoe gaze style rock band with wonderful effects adorning their linear guitar work. Horrowitz by contrast is a gentle folk outfit priding itself on cuteness and intelligence rather than the raw power and catchy choruses that Project A-KO provides. Project A-KO - Otaku Blue Horrowitz - It's Better To Eat Twinkies [...]
You might recognize the title of this post from the current "subtitle" of this blog, which can probably be seen right up there at the top of your browser window! Well, as some of you may be aware of, that ine comes from the song "Popkids of the World Unite!" by Horowitz – surely one of the finest pop songs of the past year. The song appeared on the band's Tracyanne single on Cloudberry in early 2007, which has long been sold out. So, the band have decided to reissue "Tracyanne" b/w "Popkids of [...]
Indie Mp3 faves Horowitz have a virtual box set available as a free download from Thee SPC. It contains two songs from The Frosty Cat Songs album plus one new track.

And the best thing is that it is free! Download it from here - it's under free downloads. It [...]
Da gibt es kleines Label im sonnigen Miami, das macht alles ganz anders als alle anderen Label. Da erscheint alle paar Wochen ein schöne auf 100 Ausgaben limitierte 3 Track Single nach der anderen mit richtig netten Bands, und alles läuft richtig relaxed ab. Selbstauskunft des Labels: Cloudberry glaubt an: unrequited love, systems of resistance, sense of community, DIY ethics and international socialism! Wir betreten somit eine Parallelwelt im Musikgeschfäft und die heißt Leidenschaft. Leidenschaft ist nunmal der Motor aller guten Musik. Respekt, Cloudberry. Bitte nichts ändern, ausser daß ich gerne ein Abo auf eure Veröffentlichungen hätte. Hier eine paar [...]
Yatak odalarında müzik yapmayı seven insanlardan oluşan ingiltereli bir grup ve ben onları sevdim. 3 şarkılık minicik albümcükler yayınlamayı seven cloudberry records 'a da mensup bir grup olmasının yanısıra favori aktiviteleri arasında haribo yemek, kahve içmek ve twee pop dinlemek falan var. Bizim okulda olsa böyle tipler onlar bile beni sevmezdi. çünkü ben yeni şarkılarını myspace'den çalıp yayınlıyorum. yayınlamasam bile belki sevmezlerdi beni.

It's Indie Tracks in a couple of weeks! To get prepared here are some mp3's from some of the bands playing and unsurprisingly most have been featured on indie mp3 before. I will add more as I come across them. The San Marinos - We're Beautiful Santa Dog - Delicate Electric Pop Group - She's Playing With Your Heart Cats On Fire - Higher Ground Pete Green - I Haven't Got a Myspace Because Myspace Fucking Sucks Stars [...]
. . .noon, afternoon, night, whatever, promises satisfying sonics. The excellent Roque at the excellent Mira el Péndulo has started up a small label called Cloudberry, which is in the process of issuing nine 3-inch cd-r's from a multinational cast of jangleurs. Jangle, fuzz, power chords, Farfisa fun, voices ranging from hebetic to munchkinesque, deeply philosophical lyrics, all the standard
