Massimiliano Pagliara Focus for infinity / Live at Robert Johnson – Juin 2011 As the night breathes Le premier LP de Massi sort sur le label du club de francfort, le Robert Johnson. Rien d'étonnant pour ceux qui ont pris mesure du lieu et de la mythologie qui l'entoure. On y célèbre tout les week ends une musique disco-synthético-bleep-wave pour faire vite. Tout y est joué en dessous de 120 BPM, les allers-retours entre edits et compositions originales se troublent et [...]
"No help topics found?! You heap of garbage. You can't help me with that?" -- Tom, criticizing his unresponsive Macintosh computore "Without his tireless efforts, this show would not exist. Well, actually, it would exist, but it would really stink." -- Tom, praising the production work of David in D.C. "Yeah, the guy dances around and smokes cigarettes. Puts that, uh, clown makeup on in the mirror. Gets heart surgery." -- Tom, figuring out Fosse "What are you talking about ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" -- Neil Mahoney, [...]
They say those who ignore history are bound to repeat it. In music, however, those who pay attention to history seem just as likely to repeat it. So here's a bunch of new versions of things that are worth ripping off. The percentage of previously unreleased material (as well as packaging, liner notes, etc) certainly factored into what made this list, and the order as much as the quality of the original work. 1.

A reply to those dishonest journalists who twist phrases to make the Idea seem ridiculous; to those women who only think what I have dared to say; to those for whom Lust is still nothing but a sin; to all those who in Lust can only see Vice, just as in Pride they see only [...]

"This Is Still It", pubblicato da Acute nel 2010, è una reissue tra le più importanti ed imponenti dell'ultimo lustro, anche se sarebbe più opportuno definirla una 'ristampa antologica'. Nati in pieno periodo post-punk, negli anni in cui Curtis ancora respirava l'aria inglese che lo portò al suicidio, rappresentavano e rappresentano tutt'oggi uno degli esempi più miracolosi di come far collidere con ottimi risultati vecchio punk, rock tradizionale e garage. Infatti tutti questi nomi, chi di più chi di meno, sembrerà parzialmente i Method Actors : Gang of Four , i Devo , Captain [...]
Early recordings from seminal Athens duo finally get the reissue treatment
The Morning Benders widely anticipated new album, Big Echo, officially drops today, March 9th. We... Check out Indie Rock Cafe for more songs, artist and band profiles, playlists and videos.

With so many high-profile albums out this week (and this month for that matter), it once again makes for an increasingly difficult task of figuring out what to spend your hard-earned cash on. First off is Broken Bells , the highly anticipated collaboration between James Mercer, lead singer and guitarist of The Shins, and Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton. I've yet to hear this one myself, but there's more than enough reason to give this one a shot just solely on the talent involved alone. There are also some new albums from the likes of The Knife [...]
Tomorrow, Acute Records will be releasing a compilation of sorts, composed of various tracks from the great Athens, Georgia band Method Actors. The record, entitled This Is Still It does a great job of summing up the duo's all too short career. The band was one of the first early Athens bands to emerge on [...]
