We're back from our Florida vacation not much worse for wear, though the long slog home from anywhere proves a perennial challenge, and reentry into the world of work and chores is always bittersweet. Still, the heart is light, and for that, I owe my family a great debt: to my father for making it all possible, to my children for helping me see the world as ever wondrous through their eyes, and most of all, to my spouse for planning the hell out of yet another perfect Spring Break. Case in point: [...]

Hace unos días les conté que los chicos de Kings of Convenience visitarían España en la segunda parte del tour promocional de su nueva producción Declaration of Dependence . Pues el grupo ya confirmó una segunda presentación en este país a través de su Myspace . La cita será el próximo jueves 22 de julio en el Poble Espanyol de Barcelona . Por lo que leí el precio de los boletos ronda los 38 euros y ya están a la venta, sin embargo, no pude encontrar algún sitio en [...]

'I Don't Know What I Can Save You From' — European air travel is at a standstill as towering clouds of ash float ominously overhead. But don't mind the encroaching darkness , today we've got a few songs to get you in tune for the week ahead. Here's some Foals, Damien Marley & Nas, LA Duo Kisses , Bassnectar, Toro Y Moi (with arguably the chillest thing to come out of Baltimore), and several mashed up Icelanders (who may or may not be responsible for this whole mess). Speaking of Sigur Rós, check out their absurd interview [...]

Bright Eyes - Make War Krieg, Krieg, Krieg. Auf unserer Reise durch die Zeit müssten wir eigentlich jeden Tag diesen Beitrag senden, schließlich bestehen ungefähr 97 Prozent der menschlichen Geschichte aus Krieg. Kawumm! Und wenn es schon nicht der trendige Präventivkrieg ist, dann doch zumindest ein Rosenkrieg, Bruderkrieg, ein Krieg der Ideologien. Kein life ohne strife. Und kein Krieg ohne Lied. So kommt es, dass auch der Erste Weltkrieg – der bekanntlich zu dem Schlimmsten zählt, was Mensch sich bisher so angetan hat – eine ganze Menge Musikalisches hervorbrachte. Doch [...]

This is what you get when you set up a collaboration between two sets of amazing Norwegian artists. You have Kings of Convenience on one side who are known for their soothing and melancholic rhythms and vocals. On the other side is Royksopp, an electronic music duo known for their triphop and ambient beats. This track is from their album Versus, a collaboration between them and a few producers. It's definitely a must have on your iPod. I don't want to overkill this post with another track but when you do purchase/get your hands on the album, check out [...]

The remixes, courtesy of artists such as Ladytron, Four Tet and Röyksopp, manage to almost better [...]

I heard the original version of this on my way back from South Hampton last week and it couldn't have been more appropriate for that bitter sweet moment when you're on the I-495 and you see that first Manhattan sign... Back to life, back to reality." - En Vouge This is one of Royksopp best remixes and one of Kings of Convenience's best songs. Our Dear Summer mixtape will be released in 3 days and you can certainly expect it on there. This song is [...]

Kings of Convenience - I Don't Know What I Can Save You From (Röyksopp Remix) Fortfarande en av de bästa låtarna i världen, och dessutom med en väldigt söt text som jag faktiskt aldrig riktigt tänkt på förrän i dag: You called me after midnight, it must have been three years since we last spoke. I slowly tried to bring back the image of your face from the memories so old. I tried so hard to follow, but didn't catch a half of what had gone wrong, [...]

Een hele mond vol, de titel van dit Kings of Convenience-nummer. Het nummer is van hun eerste album Quiet Is The New Loud uit 2001, waarmee ze en passant een nieuwe muziekstroming inzetten. Ik hoorde echter niet het origineel als eerst, maar werd getriggerd door de Röyksopp remix ervan. Sinds datzelfde jaar 2001 ken ik Röyksopp. Dit Noorse duo is bekend om hun sferische muziek (waar ik al eerder over schreef) en nemen maar al te graag nummers van anderen onder handen. Aangezien een een vrij goede band met Erlend Øye hebben (hij zong Poor Leno en Remind [...]

Parece que Ben Gibbard de Death Cab for Cutie no sólo es un músico talentoso al que todos los proyectos le salen bien, el cantante parece tener, además, un excelente gusto musical (y para las mujeres, dirían algunos). Y para muestra basta esta mixtape elegida por el compositor para la tienda iTunes hace algún tiempo, en la que muestra que no sólo es un artista indie, además escucha música en su mayoría independiente y de proyectos no tan famosos. La lista arranca con The Magnetic Fields y así [...]

Illustration by Mike Are you having fun yet? I know I am! nobleybones mixtape yesterday & an itty ari interwebs today, but whoa-ho-ho-ho, we ain't done yet! Not even remotely! We got more mixtapes coming at you. I sure hope you cleared off a little room on your iPod, iPhone, iTouch, or, to be more topical iPad! Speaking of the iPad. I saw a photo yesterday, a photo from Saturday's launch of the iPad that struck me as so powerful, so telling, [...]

Dopo i due sold out di ottobre, il duo norvegese torna in Italia per un lungo tour estivo per presentare il nuovoalbum DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE uscito per EMI alla fine del 2009. Continua a leggere Kings of convenience: un lungo tour estivo li vedrà in giro per l'Italia... Commenta »

Il duo dei Kings of Convenience l'ho scoperto a settembre dell'anno scorso quando é stato ospite del programma in onda su Raitre "Parla con me" e me ne sono innamorata. In quell'occasione presentarono "Mrs Cold" un brano pop ma con forti influenze bossanova. Pezzo meraviglioso come d'altra parte tutto l'album intitolato "Declaration of Dependence", uscito per Emi alla fine del 2009. Ora la coppia di musicisti formata da Erlend Øye e Eirik Glambek Bøe ritorna in Italia con una serie di concerti per promuovere l' album caratterizzato da sonorità delicate, melodie rilassanti, arricchite [...]

This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve . We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I'm here to make a delivery. Chill….. Today's delivery is brought to you by the [...]

last night's king's of convenience show was an evening to remember. although i wasn't too familiar with their work (with the exception of their first album which i love very much), their amiable onstage personalities encouraged me to relate to their songs more as old friends than new acquaintances. i got their feeling especially with erlend's solo performance of big star's "thirteen", a tribute to the recently demised alex chilton. it's a song that treads on the nostalgic path of idyllic adolescence which the norwegian duo has done so well in capturing through their minimalist ballads, and even [...]

Después de el suceso lamentable del robo de los lentes de Erlend Øye, pensé que era buena idea poner remixes del Sr. Sin Lentes. Erlend Oye - Sudden Rush (The Twelves Remix) Avenue D - 2D2F (Erlend Oye Remix) The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix) The Whitest Boy Alive – Courage (Jack Tennis Edit) extra: [...]

Anyone who's anyone has this song on rotation. So we figured we'd get a post up about it a week or so after the leak. Better late than never…right? Broken Social Scene is a Canadian indie co-op of sorts. Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning are the founders of the group. After releasing their first album, the ambient Feel Good Lost in 2001, they pulled other Toronto-based musicians into the band, including Metric's Emily Haines , Leslie Feist and Stars' Amy Millan . This track is off their forthcoming album Forgiveness Rock [...]
