it will be john peel's 5th death anniversary in a couple of weeks' time, but there's no reason why we can't commemorate it earlier, like we've done here in singapore with the annual keeping it peel . held last night at the cosy prince of wales pub, three local acts put up their darndest best shows that would've made peel proud. opening band midnight marvel could have sounded tighter, but that was really secondary to the snarling riot grrrl vibes it projected reminiscent of sleater-kinney. next up was clearly a crowd favorite, the surf/garage rock & roll [...]
der tausendste post. irre. anfangs hatte ich an eine recht kurze angelegenheit geglaubt. eine persönliche sammlung wichtiger bands, labels, alben. es nahm seinen lauf. zwischendrin wollte ich hinschmeissen. es mangelte nicht an ideen und stoff, nur an der aufmerksamkeit, die man dem einzelnen werk, der band, dem künstler entgegen bringen konnte. daran hat sich auch nichts geändert. musik ist ein tagesgeschäft, ein blog auch. dann wurde vor uns gewarnt, google ermächtigte sich, uns als bedrohung anzusehen. schwamm drüber. weiter gehts. labrador stellt uns eine neue band vor [...]

It's Music Alliance Pact time again. If you're a regularish reader you should know the script by now. Our aim is to get one music blog from every country in the planet to share their favourite song of the month by an artist from that nation. All the text you see below the picture of the bonnie Scotsman is written by each individual blogger and then replicated on each site on the same day, give or take some intercontinental time differences. Thanks to the additions of Brazil, Chile, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore and [...]

O "Posso Ouvir Um Disco?" é um dos membros do Music Alliance Pact, projecto organizado por um escocês, Jason, e também um blogger (ver http://thepopcop.blogspot.com/ ) A sua ideia consiste em, mensalmente, vinte e um blogs contribuirem com um tema, de uma banda ou artista do seu país.

It's once again time for the best songs in the world. The group of contributing bloggers continues to grow for MAP as does it's worldwide presence (recent press from Rolling Stone among others). These are songs from around the world but not world music and that's one of the things I like about this project. This is not music that is pandering for the NPR "world music" crowd. It's music from around the world influenced by the host countries and their local cultures but not controlled by them. Enjoy these songs, there's a .zip file at [...]

![#33 [eine kleine morgenmusik] leeson - some girls](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1188494_lg.jpg)
i woke up this morning to the irresistibly catchy hooks of "some girls", the latest single released by my pals leeson . i've known these guys for quite a while, photographing them whenever i make it (in time) for their gigs, and it's been great just watching the band grow through the years in ultimately feeling comfortable having fun and being themselves. that's something evident in this song, a wry laddish rumination on the unexplainable idiosyncrasies of girls we've all met and probably dated before, complete with swirling melodies and choppy rhythms that take a life of [...]
