Nothing more natural than rock music in the early a.m., right? Chicago power pop quartet Archie Powell and the Exports brought their brand of quirky rock tunes (specifically "Metronome" and "Skip Work") to Windy City Live's morning chat fest before the band heads out to South by Southwest next week. Even though the group didn't trash their instruments, I'm willing to bet their performance was the most rambunctious to hit the Windy Cit Live stage since the show's inception. Morning angst is a bitch.

We've not had any Ligeti here at Doklands for a few years. Terribly remiss, I know. I think the last thing we featured was his Chamber Concerto , which I praised for the way it emulates mechanical motion. It does too, absolutely brilliantly. Possibly one of the finest bits of orchestral art music (that's the new term for classical music, btw, get with it) of the last century. But a few years before that, Ligeti wasn't just emulating mechanical motion, he was using it. Poème Symphonique, for 100 Metronomes is [...]

the metronomes - "a circuit like me" (download) Great little minimal synth song from Australia's The Metronomes . These guys were mostly active in the 80's, releasing a few singles and albums on the goth-heavy label Cleopatra Records . I used to be really into a lot of the stuff on that label, so I'm amazed that I didn't hear about The Metronomes until recently. These guys are very different than most of the other bands on the label. Really great stuff. [...]
