The area around Leeda (Harrogate, to be more specific) is stamping it's name on the elecro map right now through the marvels of Youth Attack and their rather brutal take on the common remix. Having already produced beautifully loud mixes for the likes of Late Of the Pier, Foals and Shadowdancer (some of which have already been covered on these very pages) they are rapidly making a name for themselves across the country and are inevitably only going to continue down this path to fame and excellence as the 2009 gets under way. Not only [...]
by bmalec I find that I'm most satisfied after a productive day or a selfless and helpful act. But life is an odyssey filled with lazy moments and selfish decisions. No need to get down though. Self analysis is for learning about yourself and maximizing opportunity. Here's an elongated mixtape for motivation. Life is long, no matter when it ends. Get them all at once - qc mixtape 12.zip [...]
by hieronymus bosch Hope everyone had a good weekend. I was outside drinking in a freakin' hurricane at the Red Bull Soap Box Race on Saturday. I've never been out in a downpour for that long. My brain still feels soggy. Anywho, here are 5 great jams to kick off your week. Artist: Pattern is Movement [...]
Ah Saturday, after two days, the aches of sleeping in a tent, drinking too much and being crushed by immovable idiots start to make their way deeper into your muscles. But unbowed, we struggled into the arena to see Bombay Bicycle Club (incidentally, with Katharine and Matt, who introduced me to them - thanks guys!). Again, we really made the right choice as an opening act. A lot has been made of BBC's age, but to me it really doesn't matter. No matter how old you are, if you're this wonderful and [...]

With Britain ’s astonishing success in the Beijing Olympics, I am similarly inspired in my continued attempt to set the world record for greatest number of brilliant bands witnessed over a 3 day period. But before the 2 nd lap of my musical marathon can begin, I need to traverse a scheduling hurdle as BTA darlings Collapsing Cities and Bombay Bicycle Club both vie to kick off the day. Based [...]
I don't often go to gigs where I'm not very familiar with the headliner's material. I'd heard a handful of tracks from Jeffrey Lewis but beyond some enthusiastic reviews and recommendations from friends, I really wasn't sure what to expect so it was with a sense of curiosity that I ventured to the Norwich Arts Centre (One of the best venues in the United Kingdom, ladies and gentlemen). Of the two supports, I'm struggling to remember anything from Tiger MCs set; enjoyable enough but nothing at all to lift above any [...]
"Taking pride in original songwriting however begs the question, What is an original song, when it comes to folk music or any genre?" - Jeffrey Lewis "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal." - T. S. Eliot "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." - Pablo Picasso stealing from T. S. Eliot It's time for another chapter in Open Source Songwriting . This one comes from the inimitable Jeffrey Lewis , who wrote a fantastic essay last week for the New York Times. For those of you not familiar with Lewis should listen [...]

Most know Jeffrey Lewis as a mainstay of New York’s notorious anti-folk scene. Others know him because he is signed to the UK’s legendary Rough Trade label. Lewis got started with Rough Trade by doing comic book artwork for Moldy Peaches albums—and his music career took off from there. And this is where Jeffrey Lewis is unique. He would much rather be holed up in his New York apartment drawing [...]

Sommige muzikanten draaien hun hand er niet voor om zelf het art work van de hoezen te verzorgen: do it yourself. Of dat een goed idee is kun je betwijfelen, maar soms leidt het tot verrassende of op zijn minst markante resultaten. Zo vind ik de Kevin Coyne en Michael Hurley hoezen goed bij de muziek passen, kleurrijk, humoristisch en een tikkeltje anarchistisch en grimmig. Don Van Vliet blijft een unieke muzikant maar als schilder sla ik hem minder hoog aan. Toch heeft hij na zijn muzikale loopbaan meer succes gehad met zijn schilderijen [...]
Steven Malkmus And The Jicks are playing Tripod on June 9th. For a number of reasons I'm unsure if I'll bother going or not. Mainly it's because Italy are playing Holland that night and theoretically it could be the tie of the first round of the European Championships but also there's the little matter of Malkmus' newest album Real Emotional Trash ... not all that good. Then, despite a recent assertion by a local promotor that they were "shit live", there's my desire to see Pavement play and people going to Steve's gigs isn't going [...]

Hold On Now, Youngster... , the debut full length by Cardiff's Los Campesinos! is almost certain to rank extremely high on my year end best of list. The CD is just about as much fun as an album can get, so naturally, I expected the show at Lee's Palace to be nothing short of a veritable blasty blast! And a blasty blast it was! This has been the busiest weekend that I can remember in a long time and remembering specific details about what happened late Friday night is not going to be easy, so you'll [...]
Le myspace de Jefferey Lewis indique que le chanteur-dessinateur new-yorkais "Need show in Europe (France, Switz, Belgium)", le 5, 8 et 10 juin. Alors personne pour de l'anti-folk new-yorkais?

The greatest discovery I made at SXSW came the very first night. I scored a great spot up front by the stage at the Brooklyn Vegan showcase. I decided to chill there for the next act, whom I didn't recognize, to be up front for Kaki King later on. My expectations were low, because something about the tired "Frontman's Name" and "The Band's name" formula always seems to lead to a bad act unless the frontman previously was part of a great band. Jeffrey Lewis and The Jitters was an exception to this, and ever since [...]
Jeffrey was playing as part of the Patti Smith exhibition here in Paris which also features Tom Verlaine who's playing next week. This was my first time seeing Jeffrey live and I was very curious to see whether his lyrics would work in front of a Paris crowd. Overall, I thought it was a fantastic concert. There were a couple of songs at the start where I was contemplating how bad this review was going to be. He's not an artist that is to everybody's tastes and I think it took a while for me to get used to it. [...]
