As that scientist told Tony Stark in the first installment, "the man who embraces his heroic nature pays a terrible price." And that man (or woman) today is YouTube user AppleFan72 - responsible for uploading a copy of "Iron Man 33 in all its pirated 853x480px glory. How long before Disney reigns its takedown minions on the above link and forever banishes AppleFan72 from the Internetz? Time will tell. My guess is soon. Then again, why bother? It looks like shit, but, hey, watch the movie if you want and while you can. Embedded below. [...]
Back in the 80s Bongwater recorded a song called " David Bowie Wants Ideas ." In it, Ann Magnuson recounts a dream in which she receives a form letter from David Bowie who is soliciting ideas for the new album he is recording. The song was a joke, but it had an uncomfortable ring of truth to it. After the runaway pop success of Let's Dance in 1983, Bowie sounded very much like an artist adrift, unsure how to navigate the perilous waters of superstardom. After a couple failed attempts to replicate Let's Dance's [...]
. . . Summer means tours for metal, specifically big package tours that pack venues with dozens of bands. And while these traveling circuses of crushing riffs and drunken laughter are the highlight of some metalheads’ year, they’re the bane of others'. We asked two of our finest journalistic minds, the forward-thinking Joseph Schafer and the entirely backward Scab Casserole , to debate the pros and cons of these summer package tours. Here’s what they had to say. JS: I can think of several reasons why [...]
Consensus sucks. It stands as the closest thing to objective truth in discussing something as subjective as the arts, but it's nearly impossible to reach. Moreover, consensus is boring. Diverging opinions are exciting. Often, someone learns more about a piece of music by looking at what two writers fight over, as opposed to what they agree on. In the spirit of disagreement, Invisible Oranges presents a new series of articles: Kramer vs. Kramer. Or, to non-cinemaphiles, blog writer deathmatch: two writers listen to a new piece of music and debate its merits, then you readers enjoy [...]
The random mid-90s alt-rock compilation; is there any better source for oddball rarities and bizarro obscurities? It's thanks to this trend of "let's package as many bands who we think the kids who like Nirvana might like together and see what happens" we have albums like No Alternative , with Soul Aslyum's awesome take on "Sexual Healing" and that crazy Carpenters tribute record with Sonic Youth's cover of "Superstar." Chairman of the Board , a collection of alt-rock groups taking on standards made famous by Frank Sinatra, doesn't have any classic cuts like those records [...]
It's always been difficult to put together a great sitcom. As much as we like to romanticize the shows of our youth, I'm guessing it would take about half-an-episode of Night Court or Three's Company before we'd be heading for ... Continue reading

Anatomy of I, which recently released the new album "Substratum," has announced that drummer Dirk Verbeuren will be missing upcoming live shows due to other commitments. The band issued the following update about recruiting Melle Kramer for live shows: "As Dirk is currently exclusively playing live with Soilwork (the upcoming few shows he's doin...

Yuval Kramer, producer and guitarist for Israeli Prog-Metal band AMASEFFER, announces the approach of a new project ¬¬- ¬?Reign of the Architect?; a new sci-fi saga, featuring some well-known guest musicians and vocalists, as well as introducing fresh, new talents.

2 and a half years on from his debut album (3 Years Of Sunrise - 4.5/5 - DJ Mag), Myagi is gearing up to launch his second full length release "Ape and Essence" into the world. This first single is a great example of the soundscape involved in the next album - a bit more emotion but a lot more dancefloor, this tune features Myagi himself providing a compelling vocal line that plays off of a throbbing, acidic New Order-esque house track with a ton of acid. Two tracks in one, "Chaos" bleeds into "Quokka," a [...]
Let's be honest: a lot of music blogs feature writing that is entirely underwhelming. Whether by simply copying and pasting press releases or writing in vague language, the average music blogger is best suited to get his or her point across by simply sharing an mp3—end of thought. That's not the case with one of my absolute favorite sites, Folk Hive : you might visit at first for the music, but you'll return time and again for Samantha Kramer's balls-to-the-wall passionate, insightful, conversational, and hilarious writing. So, let me just tell you guys [...]
Everybody goes through a phase where they get heavily invested in some kind of acoustic artist. It happens to me randomly, and it can't be controlled. My new acoustic chapter has begun thanks to Todd Kramer. Todd's a good friend of mine, but that's not why this phase began. The phase began because the kid's got a captivating voice and soothing melodies for days. Straight musical Ambien. He's currently in the midst of the show circuit in NYC, and is about to release his first EP titled Counting Down The Days . Do yourself a favor and download [...]
7 Inch Friday: I remember hearing "You Don't Love Me Yet" on WFMU and then stumbling on the 73 in a west village record shop so many moons ago and recall thinking this music is so some crafty stuff even if they were both covers -what a way to do it. Bongwater was Kramer and Ann Magnuson (actress) and were always backed with some great musicians and song writers David Licht and Dave Rick plus a bunch of others. This record like all of the other Bongwater tunes were produced and engineered by [...]
Uscirà il 15 novembre su DeAmbula Records "Entertainment in slow motion" il secondo album dei Ka mate Ka terzetto pistoiese nato da un progetto dei fratelli Stefano e Carlo Venturini e da Alberto Bini dopo il debutto, targato 2009 con, "Thick as the summer stars" che vedeva come produttore lo statunitense Kramer (Low, Galaxie 500).

Well, it seems Songblague has been inscribed in the Book of Life. And not just because your humble host is still breathing. As chance would have it, this is post #366. The actual one year anniversary was in early March, but I was a slack mf-er and went on vacation. So, putting calendar markers aside, let's say this marks an occasion. Segueing out of Yom Kippur, here's one that's fully secular, but — as conflicted love songs go — has a sensibility that's 100% Jewish. The outro feels like an incantation, and before that, a peculiar laundry list [...]
I Motel 3 vengono da Almeria, Spagna e si presentano agli ascoltatori con un 73 di debutto intitolato "Rey Del Surf", prodotto da sua maestà Kramer. Strano intreccio musicale quello degli spagnoli, tra surf, musica di frontiera e un pizzico di malinconia slowcore à ala Galaxie 500. Il 73 è disponibile gratuitamente su Bandcamp Un [...]
Welcome to Wild Weekend , edition thirteen. Just happens to be my lucky number, amigos. Haven´t got it tattoed on my back yet though. Let´s see what the magic shuffle function of the iPod has in store for us this time. We´ll begin with a very recent song. Sweet Apple is a new side project of J. ´Dinosaur Jr´ Mascis, helped by some guys from Cobra Verde. And as I´ve Got A Feeling (That Won´t Change) clearly shows, these guys just plain rock. Ever seen the sleazy album cover [...]

by Ben Greenman Marc Bolan, of course, was the front man and principal songwriter for T. Rex, both in the band’s early hippie incarnation (Tyrannosaurus Rex, which evolved out of the psychedelic folk ensemble John’s Children) and in its later, more successful glam-rock version. You know T. Rex, of course, from “Bang a Gong (Get It On),” which went top ten in 1972 and the band’s only American hit. In Britain, though, Bolan and T. Rex were a rock-and-roll phenomenon who repeatedly rose into the top five with songs like “Hot Love,” “Jeepster,” “Metal Guru,” [...]
