Bon, sérieux, les bordelais, 1) vous n'avez plus rien à jouer, 2) la fierté c'est un truc de naze et 3) y en a marre que vous ne gagniez que contre Paris. Le match aller, sérieux, ce fut une honte. Je préfèrerais encore perdre que de gagner comme ça. Bouuuuhouuuuuuuu! Quitte à mal jouer, autant [...]
A song for Sunday. Magic Arm: "Six Cold Feet Of Ground" [ mp3 ]
I've read about the comparison with the Beta Band and while such a notion seems a little daft at first the fog does lift as the brass kicks in towards the end of 'Widths And Heights'. Yep, an unmistakable ring to the climatic end of 'Dry The Rain' with the result that Magic Arm is not entirely in a league of his own. Pretty close though for Manchester based Marc Rigelsford spins the kind of ingenious melodies that we normally associate with giants such as Grandaddy. 'Outdoor Games' is a thing of beauty that originally surfaced on an EP of [...]

Magic Arm - Outdoor Games The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure. Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon. The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.

Photo credit: Jill Faure Ah, Twitter, how useful thou art. Having spotted that Grizzly Bear are playing a show in Hyde Park with an excellent support lineup including Efterklang, Magic Arm, Memoryhouse and Here We Go Magic, I went a-knocking on the email account of righteous TLOBF editor Richard "The Thane" Thane, and manage to shoehorn myself in last minute as someone's plus one. I imagine an idyllic park setting, dappled sunbeams playing over the grass, sipping cold cider under the pink sunset as Grizzly Bear take the stage… a perfect summer evening. [...]
I know I moan about them constantly but this is probably proof that bands need PR people - or at least someone in the band who is willing to take on that job, tedious, depressing and repetitive as it may be. I really like Magic Arm, having first seen Marc Rigelsworth play at the first Fence Club at the Caves a few years ago. I saw him at Homegame the following year, and I even bought the Widths & Heights 73, but somehow this 2009 album release managed to completely pass me buy, in the absence [...]
This is all about my beepy-bloopy tendencies and how I got into the stuff in the first place. I better point out, right at the beginning, that I don't see there being any difference between indie and electronica exactly. Or at least, the dividing line is so blurred and there is so much crossover that the distinction is completely pointless, really. I think the only reason I really make a distinction myself is because I became a music obsessive by listening to the likes of Dylan and Tom Waits and so on, and then moved onto [...]
C'est curieux chez les bloggers ce besoin de faire des listes en fin d'année... Mais c'est chouette. Mon bilan de 2009 ressemble à celui de roubi à quelques détails près : j'en ai rien à battre du PSG j'ai pas vu macca (*ouin*) Et j'ajouterai : les wewant ont probablement bu en mouk le PIB du Kiribati (et y a pas de quoi être fier). Cela étant mon pH est resté neutre (c'est important). Compil 2009 à écouter sur [...]
2009 s'achève et, avec elle, (encore) une année plutôt pas mal pourrave du psg... Au niveau musical, je n'ai pas l'impression que 2009 fut un excellent cru non plus... J'ai pu heureusement m'enflammer pour quelques albums... J'y ai fréquemment trouvé mon compte au niveau concerts, mais, soyons clairs, un bon concert n'aura jamais la même valeur qu'un bon album. 2010 devrait être supérieure avec normalement des nouveaux Tahiti 80, Fugu, Field Music, Sufjan Stevens, These New Puritans, Daft Punk, Rufus Wainwright, Foals... mais aussi on l'espère des premiers albums réussis (Hook & The Twin, WHEEL...) et [...]
Pour un sentiment de plénitude. the asteroids galaxy tour -lady jesus- coming soon -school trip bus crash- i monster -the backseat of my car- magic arm -outdoor games- sparklehorse -heart of darkness-
I spent a little time today working on a new layout for the blog and if you're interested in seeing how things are progressing, you can check it right here . All inputs are welcome; positive or negative (especially). Probably old news, but learned today that Magic Arm will be supporting Camera Obscura at Loppen (Copenhagen) on September 30 (and the rest of the band's European tour as well). Obviously I was hoping that Northern Portrait [...]

Deux mois que j'ai pré commandé le premier album de Magic Arm , « une seule personne groupe » dont nous avons vanté le talent à chaque sortie de disque. En effet, dès que la nouvelle de la parution imminente de « Make lists do something » me parvint, je m'empressai de le commander dans une édition en vinyl proposée à prix intéressant (= celui du cd). De report en report, « on » m'annonçait que son arrivée était repoussée jusqu'à ce qu' « on » m'apprenne avant-hier que le disque ne sortait finalement [...]
Magic Arm supported the disgustingly brilliant Grizzly Bear last night. The one man Mancunian maestro, looped guitar, organ and beats together that remind me a bit of the Beta Band, with a bit of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's sweetness and Kid Carpet bass lines. I thought the crowd were pretty poor at recognising his talents, but I walked away impressed. I grabbed a copy of his debut album 'Make Lists Do Something' which was releases earlier this year. It's a great album - a delight of upbeat electro folk from beginning to end. Here's one from the top... [...]

magic arm - "daft punk is playing at my house" (download) A great cover of LCD Soundsystem's hit by UK musician Marc Rigelsford (aka Magic Arm). He recorded most of the intstruments on his new record Make Lists, Do Something , aside from some of the brass and drums. Overall, the new record is pretty great. Some catchy pop songs on there. He's become sort of a master of the loop pedal, and has often played shows on his own, but he has now started taking a full band [...]
Now all we do is worry about dying!!!!! The weekend is here and we have some parties for ya. First off, tonight, we have a Winnie party. Myself and Christian Flores are at Library Square playing all our favorite songs from the 90's at the SHOW ME LOVE night. Shout for list. Two big parties at Funky Winkerbean's. Tonight we have the first night of Mutant Disco being done by the people who did the Weirdness parties at the Biltmore. Expect lots of rad- italo with a [...]
Ο εξής ένας. Marc Rigelsford, από το Manchester. Αν και τελευταία εμφανίζεται και με μπάντα, ανήκει στην κατηγορία singer songwriter. Δηλώνει folk-experimental-pop, ενώ άλλοι συμπληρώνουν διάφορα εύστοχα: laptop troubadour,casio pop και phsychedelic folk lo-fi electronica.Όταν ο Samuel Beam (Iron&Wine) τον χαρακτηρίζει "master of the loop pedal" και ο Ed Droste (Grizzly Bear)προτείνει ανεπιφύλακτα στο blog του να τον ακούσουμε,εγώ θα διαφωνήσω; (και δανεικά να μου ζητήσουν, θα τους δώσω!)Εγώ ξέρω ότι κάνει ωραιότατα ονειρικά τραγουδάκια metafolktronica, τα περισσότερα στο δωμάτιό του με ένα παλιό casio. Μόνο ελάττωμα, ο γάτος του είναι πολύ πιο όμορφος από τον ίδιο. [...]
J'ai reçu ce midi un nouveau diamant pour la cellule Shure N-91 de ma platine Thorens TD145 et en ai profité pour encoder deux petits titres disponibles uniquement en vinyl (et même pas sur des promos trouvables sur ebay ou téléchargeables sur le net). Magic Arm - Break my lungs Pointard avait brillamment parlé de son 103 "Bootsy bootsy" ( Switchflicker )/2009) et regrettait de ne pouvoir faire écouter ce titre, seul morceau présent sur le vinyle [...]
