Being the Pope has been a long and time consuming job that I have undertaken for over two thousand years. After climbing out of the shadows of Jesus and taking over the heart of Rome, I've learned a few things that I won't share because then I won't have complete dominion anymore, but trust me, it's been hard wearing gold and sitting alone in the Vaticun sifting through my delusions and fantasies, but thankfully I have my bishops, alter boys and the millions of supporters all over the world that love me and understand that I am perfect and [...]

Awwwwww shit now! Say it isn't so Rinjo. Dead? Like completely and totally dead? I just find it hard to believe. Weren't you using a fairly new set up during that time that I stopped by for some beers? I know that you saved all of your files to e-drives, discs and flash drives. Right? Man, this is the first time that I've logged in since Sat. and I expected to be playing catch up with the posts at this time. I have faith that you'll be up and running soon enough. Hey, look at it as an excuse [...]

Here we go again, CoS readers! Things got pretty interesting last week when good ol' Michniak decided to call the King of Grunge a pussy. Well, this week seems to be a little tamer. He's on the defensive side and if you know Russ, he loves his electronic music. How about we make this a 'lil wild, eh? -Michael Roffman, Editor in Chief I am a global citizen. I respect other people's heritages, I strongly relate to my heritage. I love being in on jokes. [...]
Today is NASA's 50th birthday . This may not be strictly music-related, but when I was a kid I would have been pretty content to be an astronaut. In fact, my parents put up a moonscape on one of my walls when I was about 7 years old (yes, I was and still am, a nerd). In honor of this fact, I thought I'd assemble some of my favorite, space-themed tunes. I applied 'space-themed' a little loosely, but I'm sure you'll forgive me. MP3 : Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine [...]
i owe sue a long overdue "music to drive to" mix. i know it would probably begin with jonathan richman 's "roadrunner" and end off with r.e.m. 's "drive", although everything in between's just a haze. after listening to wire 's "one of us", taken off their newly released object 47 album available at pink flag , i think this song will definitely sit well in the mix, maybe as a fitting companion to kraftwerk's "autobahn", but perhaps more appropriately as simply a breath of fresh air. mp3: wire - one [...]

Todays Irish Times carried some more info about the upcoming Day In The Life festival which Kraftwerk will headline. Also on the bill for the one day fest in Wickow's Luggala estate are Soulwax , The Jimmy Cake , Boxcutter , Comtron , Dark Room Notes . The ad's headline reads Kraftwerk + Guests , so it's unclear as to whether there are more to come on the bill, but thusfar it's pretty damned good...
Jim Carroll 's got the scoop- Kraftwerk are to play Wicklow's Luggala estate (above) for POD's A Day In The Life festival. The festival (which nearly took place in June with Morrissy headlining) is to take place on September 13th, with tickets priced 89.50 to go on sale Wednesday. Capacity is reportedly only 5000, so get em quick. The support acts are bound to be good, and Unarocks reckons it'll also feature a Body & Soul area, which Electric Picnic goers will already be fans of. The estate is amazing, and is [...]
Boy, I'm really letting you see behind the curtain here. There'll be no question as to what my favorite albums are anymore, they're (mostly) all spelled out for you nice and easy right here. Keyword: favorite. I didn't set about trying to discern the "best" records from each year; rather, I've followed in Maura and Jeff's ( and others ) footsteps and created a list of my favorite albums from every year I've been alive , as per DYFL's instructions . I decided to go the route of picking the [...]
As noted by Jim this morning Kraftwerk are playing Luggala Estate in Co. Wicklow on September 13th as part of the A Day In The Life festival. I was listening to Big Black's final album yesterday. It was, up till then, one of those records on a lengthy mental list I have of albums I want to get around to listening to at some point (though yesterday's ticking off of Big Black means that I've almost had a look at every band featured in Michael Azerrad's exceptional Our Band Could Be Your [...]

...is the name of a hungarian party which used to be drumnbass, now I have no idea what kinda music is on there cause it's so annoying. On the other hand, Rewind is an awesome project of Buffet Libre DJs . They ask cool artists to cover and remix songs from the 80s. The first part of the project includes Dragonette, Moulinex, The Cloud Room, Frankmusik, Xinobi, CSK OK, Mono4, etc. And our beloved guest Anoraak did a cover of The Romantics. Jump over to Buffet Libre's site , you can find a long list of artists and [...]

Bob Moog's modular systems were some of the first widely used synthesizers, but the Minimoog was created for portability and performance, designed for keyboard players looking to easily tweak some expression into their playing. Use of the Minimoog gained popularity in the early 70s and quickly found its place in nearly all genres of music. Today the Mini is still the most in-demand vintage analog synthesizer and has achieved iconic status. Sound is produced by one, two, or three oscillators - basically tone generators that can produce sawtooth , square , or triangle [...]
