Björk - The Dull Flame of Desire (Modeselektor's Remix for Boys) (yousendit) Björk - The Dull Flame of Desire (Modeselektor's Remix for Boys) (zshare) Modeselektor work their magic on this great Björk track that features Antony Hegarty and Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale. I especially enjoy the bridge and what Modeselektor does with Björk's and Antony's vox.
Totally worth checking out this Halloween if you're in London (or thereabouts), as the first act to play the night will be Lightning Bolt . And as it turns out, the promoters of the event are letting the manic duo play in their usual positioning that they do at every show: on the floor with the crowd. In the center of it all. Because of that, though, only the first 500 people to get to the venue will be allowed at ground level, with everyone else having to go to the balcony until the set's over. [...]
OK, unless someone can prove to me differently, I'm putting this down as the best gig lineup of 2008 anywhere in the world. ATP always spoil us with their now tri-annual festivals ( Melvins & Mike Patton this Xmas, be there or be square!) and the regular Don't Look Back shows (featuring bands performing classic albums in their entirety) but the Release The Bats show on All Hallows Eve at London's Kentish Town Forum takes the proverbial biscuit. Lineup: Shellac Les Savy Fav Lightning Bolt Om Wooden Shjips Pissed Jeans DJ [...]

A lot of small, relevant snippets of information have been appearing on my newsdesk in the past couple of hours, so I figured, why not dump everything in my action items box into one convenient, slammin' post. So here's all the news fit to print, in one post. It will help augment my lack of posting over the weekend, as I will be out of town. The timing was a little bad considering... Ariel Pink Hits the Bottle This Weekend... Hard Ariel [...]
Paperrad is what happens when your brain pukes inside your skull. The Pittsburgh and Providence-based collective specializes in video art, doom drone, and head lozenges. When on tour, they perform in three parts: two different groups including Extreme Animals and Fortress of Amplitude (both of which have that great Load Records style free spazz psych free-for-all), and their collections of unequivocally, deliciously deranged music videos / cartoons / installation art. There's no real way to describe a Paperrad video installation other than what it would be like to watch children's shows while frozen in carbonite. [...]

This week's "Intense band I've just discovered" of the week prize must go to the crazy two-piece called... Lightning Bolt. Here's an MP3 of one of the tracks that captured my attention. It has a bit of melody in it. You see - they are intense, frenetic intense drumming, gargled huge distorted bass. They're like Big Business - only more so... and another two-piece I saw supporting Boris last year and in the Meze in Newport a few months ago - can't think of their name.. Bristol band... Anyway, back to Lightning Bolt........ here's some music [...]

Have you seen the film Air Guitar Nation ? If not, you certainly should. It covers the US qualifying heats and the finals of the Air Guitar World Championship. If you've felt the urge to squint and strum along to a track, watch this film. See how the professionals do things. Watch as they walk like gods amongst men, so infused are they by the power of the guitar. Bathe in the glory of their stage histrionics. Corpse mauling dicks, pose through a good film, him, him, etc. Of course, [...]

• Poor Derek Jeter got her panties all in a bunch because Ivy-League statisticians calculated that Jeter is the worst defensive shortstop in Major League Baseball. The player's excuse, "Every [shortstop] doesn't stay in the same spot, everyone doesn't have the same pitching. Everyone doesn't have the same hitters running, it's impossible to do that." New York Yankees senior advisor Gene Michael was equally mad, stating, "Something like that is a disgrace. It made me ill when I read that article...Derek doesn't really have a sinkerball pitching staff whereas other shortstops, you sit behind certain pitchers, you're going to get [...]
it was the worst of times The migration from one year to the next is a time of hope and reflection and to capture the new year mood the Devil asked a few of his favourite bands for their favourite tracks from 2007 and the bands they hoped, expected, needed to make it big in 2008. The next few posts will therefore be devoted to sharing the thoughts of the Devil's favourites. As you'd no doubt expect it's an eclectic mix of the well known, the unknown, the weird, the [...]
Today (the day after the day after the day after the Winter Solstice, as pictured above) is my 1,001st post since starting this blog. In celebration of reaching the 1K mark, I have put together an utterly massive Mix Tape for you. Bandwidth, be damned! I speak without hyperbole when I say that life cannot get much better than it is right now. After a full day of work yesterday, a co-worker and I ducked into Red Lion for a bite to eat. We were first joined by her boyfriend, then later by Phoebe, Rebecca, Sari (plus a [...]

Wow. Last night's dinner party was pretty incredible. Good people, excellent food, an overall great experience. I sampled dishes I'd ordinarily shy away from, and tried my best to liven up the gathering with my particular brand of humor and gregariousness. On a scale of one-to-ten, I'd say my performance was a twenty-two billion, three-hundred eighty-four million, seventy-six thousand, one-hundred and forty two. Thanks, alcohol! Sorry. In all honesty, it was the most fun I've had here yet. Also, in accordance with the laws of full-disclosure, I'm obligated to inform you that I had to choke back a [...]
