So why did it take until 2009 for me to post this? Because, in my mind, you can't call a "best of 20083 before the end of 2008! That, and I was anticipating a rush of new, 2008-vintage music that would fill my stockings on Christmas, so I couldn't really call 2008 a done-deal until I had a chance to process the new stuff. I'm not on the receiving end of the review copies of things, and my musical horizons are defined by very odd influences, so I take a while longer to get [...]
INIWATA Awards - Mes 10 meilleurs concerts en 2008 Chaque concert classé est accompagné d'un lien vers la " review " du concert. Avec pratiquement 6 mois de l'année consacrés à continuer à parcourir le monde , ma présence aux concerts, forcément, a été assez réduite en 2008. Même si j'ai pu quelque peu me rattraper sur la deuxième moitié de l'année à Barcelone, cela n'a tout de même rien à voir avec une année à Londres où l'on peut se gaver comme dans aucune autre ville au monde aujourd'hui. Le seul avantage que j'arrive [...]
10. Idlewild at London's ULU (3rd July) First time catching the indie rockers, blown away. So much so that I caught them again in Bristol just a month later , they were that good. They showed just how they've managed to be so successful for the past decade, with energy and great songs. 9. I'm From Barcelona at London Scala (25th November) I know I said I'd write a review and then didn't, but things were kinda hectic with university stuff at the [...]
It's been a pretty amazing year for music around the UK, and following on from my top 10 of 2007 , here is my top 10 of 2008. 10 - Viva Stereo - Roar Lion Roar You've probably not heard much about this Scottish collective. However, their third album was a surprise favourite for me - anthemic, accessible, slightly My Bloody Valentine and yet still so gorgeous. Read more about Viva Stereo here . Favourite: Knee High Boots . [...]

by flip (pics by david mushegain & sarah kahn ) I know we mention Soko pretty frequently but I love her mentality. In my opinion her blog posts run a close second to Lily Allen's joyful recaps and they're always good for a read. She just posted an awesome little life update on Myspace and it just reaffirms my like for her. She discusses her recent move to Los Angeles, her love of vegan food, and her struggles to complete her first full [...]
2008 was home to some pretty amazing remixes. Aeroplane's mesmerizing synth beats, with dreamy vocals from Au Revoir Simone, completely reinvents Friendly Fires' Paris; Dave Aude updates Single Ladies into an equally dreamy, synth-driven jam; TEPR blows up Santogold's Say Aha , crafting an absolutely insane, dance floor banger; DFA puts an old school spin on Paper Planes ; Estelle's American Boy becomes a trippy, rollicking techno-affair with the help of Stockholm Syndrome; and Wideboys turn Up into a stomping, sassy dance floor affair. Check those out, and [...]
As the year slowly wraps up, there seem to be a good number of artists I'm just discovering released amazing albums in 2008. Some of this, I'm sure is because they were just only released, the rest, well, just never hit the radar. I can promise that some of these artists are going to become huge in 2009, as they have a sound the fans love. So, we'll see just how wrong I am in about a year *laughs* And because it's (almost) present time, I'm doubling your dose of MP3s today. Enjoy (and remember to support the artists! :) [...]
Sveriges kanske största band - I'm From Barcelona, har även de besökt Musikhjälpen. De är faktiskt så stora att hela bandet inte kunde vara på plats. Här är deras låt Mingus .
I'm From Barcelona 's new single "Mingus" gets a digital release today: http://www.imfrombarcelona.com /?p=661
Nu är 2008 strax slut och man kan lugnt anta att det inte kommer ut några fler storverk under det här året eftersom det enbart är julskivor som släpps i december... Helt utan kommentarer kommer här min top 10 över årets album. Joel Alme - Master of Ceremonies Moto Boy - Moto Boy Markus Krunegård - Markusevangeliet Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes Duffy - Rockferry Frida Hyvönen - Silence is Wild Kelley Polar - I Need You to Hold on While the [...]
Hier soir, I'm From barcelona passait au Cargö, à Caen... J'ai travaillé tout mon après-midi sur des anagrammes avec les lettres de "I'm from barcelona" et j'ai réussi à rien (j'avais le mot brie ou le mot fromage avec un c à la place du g mais j'ai rapidement (au bout de 7 heures) compris que je n'arriverais à rien). Normalement ExCd va aussi rédiger un petit compte rendu du concert après le mien, car nous ne sommes pas en accord sur sa qualité, et elle tient à le faire savoir. [...]
Laissons parler nos émotions à chaque instant...oui ça fait du bien. fujiya & miyagi -pussyfooting- the jelly beans -i wanna love him so bad- i'm from barcelona -andy- wolf parade -you are a runner and i am my father's son-
Okay, so last night I caught I'm From Barcelona at London's great Scala. Quite honestly, it blew me away. It was similar to the Polyphonic Spree's show at the Astoria , but gone European, and much more spontaneous. A full review will follow, but let's just say for now that they had more confetti, more fun and more balloons on stage than any band I've seen for a while. After the jump: setlist. Full review by end of the week (hopefully). [...]

by bmac Another QC reunion in NYC this weekend. Good times. So good, in fact, that we didn't really post shit. Sigh. Our apologies to the readers who suffer from our hungover laziness. Anyway, this weeks mixtape is a little on the short side and has a lot more hip hop than usual. It's freaking cold out though, so throw this on the iPod and bounce to work to stay warm. Have a good turkey day! Grab all [...]
When EAR FARM considered our impending move and relaunch at the end of 2007, we decided to switch from a scrolling blog format to a more magazine-y layout that would allow for us to highlight a "cover star"/ Band of the Week each week. In doing so we have featured 43 bands over the course of 2008, ranging from the lo-fi jangly noise pop of Throw Me The Statue to the blistering thrash of Goes Cube . We've had relative unknowns (such as The Laughing and Bombadil ), interviews with indie-rock legends (see [...]
Ce médicament est un analgésique narcotique. Habituellement, on l'utilise pour la douleur. On peut sentir son action en moins d'une heure. Fini les maux têtes, douleurs à la mâcheoire et les nausées dûes au choc, tous ses inconvénients de ma brosse/débarque de vendredi seront maintenant dûs, remplacer les douleurs à la mâcheoire par des risques de constipation, par le génialissime SUPEUDOL. Dans un même ordre d'idée (narcotique) j'ai décidé de vous tagguer un vidéo de I'm from Barcelona , un genre de Broken social scene mais avec [...]
by alyssa coluccio If you're initially a little confused by these videos, don't worry- I was a little confused too. After all, the elements combined within them are kind of random when thrown together: city sidewalk, oncoming traffic, I'm From Barcelona's Emanuel Lundgren walking around with an acoustic guitar and a weathered look, and oh yeah, a really adorable dog leashed to a sidewalk-post. MUSIC KILLED ME BY I'M FROM BARCELONA: [...]
