Tired of the same old boring Christmas songs year after year? The same songs in the same style every December? Fear no more..... This is a Christmas mix with a little bit of a twist. Nothing too "out there" or but different enough to keep you from going insane with the sounds of X-Factor garbage or other annually released festive "songs" ringing in your ears. The mix starts off with an epic track from Mew and goes into some Christmassy pop and funk then we head into [...]
Is it just me or does every song seem twice as beautiful when you're walking through a snow-white winter wonderland? Hope to put together a more substantial post over the next couple of days... keep your fingers crossed!
Holy outer space laser beam arpeggios, Batman! James Martin-Nelson, who goes by the name Death to the Throne , has reworked "Twilight", the closing track from the excellent 2009 Metric album Fantasties , and he's taken the title of the song rather literally, much to my enjoyment and hopefully yours. You see, in my opinion at least, all throughout this remix, you feel as if you are flying through some futuristic parallel universe in a one man spacecraft, dodging a meteor here and a shooting star there. And all the while having a one person dance [...]
A video injection with a Christmas twist... Mew - She Came Home For Christmas (Acoustic) Aidan Moffat - Plastic Mistletoe Johnny Cash and Daughters - Silent Night Julian Casablancas - I Wish It Was Christmas Today Manic Street Preachers - The Ghosts Of Christmas S.I.T Wolf X
Es reconfortante escuchar a una banda como Hey Chica! en estos tiempos en que muchos grupos juegan o bien a ser irreverentes o a sonar como los grupos de moda, dejando a un lado la elegancia y las letras profundas, esta banda no olvida que finalmente todo se remite al pop... pero labrado con guitarras etéreas, voces angelicales y capas de distorsión, que me recuerdan un poco a las banda españolas Klaus and Kinski y Vacaciones , o -guardando las distancias-, a unos My Bloody Valentine ensayando en un garage Región 4.

Christmas songs pop up all year round, by band you'd never expect they'd write one. Here are four fairly recent alt-rock songs about Christmas (that don't make 'm Christmas songs, if you catch my drift). She Came Home For Christmas by Danish band Mew is my favourite, a dreamy track with furiously crashing guitars in the middle. The Ocean Tango (a French/Swedish project) are dreamy as well, in a Carpenters-y style. Russian Futurists are funny Canadians, 100 Shopping Days 'til Christmas is a funny title for a song. Centro-Matic and South [...]

Regular readers will know I am a huge fan of Danish prog-pop-rockers Mew . Why? Well, because they are great, that's why. If you're not so sure about their brand of hugely tuneful and equally hugely complex Scandi-psych-pop then they've made your life easy by releasing a compilation, cunningly entitled "Eggs Are Funny". Look, at least it isn't called "No more stories Are told today I'm sorry They washed away No more stories The world is grey I'm tired Let's wash away". [...]

So yesterday was the 1oth October 2010. Those numbers 10/10/10 will only happen once in your lifetime.....unless you live to be over a hundred and see the year 2110. A scary thought. My original plan was to do the usual and browse through my music library to find 10 songs that are some how related to the subject. The subject this time being the number ten. Yes i realise that's a lot of tens right there. A list of ten songs with ten either in the artists name or song title. [...]
Aunque esta noticia ya venía rondando los sitios de fans de la banda, es hasta esta semana que tuvo confirmación oficial. Resulta que los chicos daneses de Mew han anunciado el lanzamiento de una compilación con algunos de sus más grandes éxitos o canciones favoritas llamada Eggs are Funny , que será publicada entre octubre y noviembre de este año, dependiendo del país de venta. El nombre del disco, que incluirá 14 temas y un nuevo track llamado "Do You Love It?" , salió de una de las [...]
Whilst we incessantly question quite what it is that makes The Strokes so intrinsically untouchable, and the ceaseless and unfounded nonchalance protruding through The Drums' vacuous vapidity so alluring, few acts chewed up and spat out onto the world by the five boroughs are as instantaneously intriguing as Violens . Seemingly suckling on the 80s, the New York trio's Tim Burton-esque quirk pop showcased on Amoral is infused with the histrionic, towering guitar theatrics of Mew and vocals that recall the Wikipedia thesaurus of singers your parents were reared on, from Bernard Sumner's sarcasm-stained monotone, to Morrissey's enamoured demeanour, [...]

Back in the dark, dim mists of time (oh ok then, April ), I mused away on some bad reviews Pitchfork had given two artists - Freelance Whales and The Kissaway Trail . The former had released one of my favourite records of the year , and the latter had piqued my curiosity thanks to a little (or rather quite long) tune named "SDP". Which, I have been reliably informed, is not about David Owen's lot. So, fast forwarding [...]

On my ninth birthday, when everyone gave me dolls and tea sets and a music box that played Fur Elise while a tiny ballerina twirled by the tip of her slipper, my uncle gave me a microscope. It came with prepared slides of insect parts and algae, a little dropper, tweezers and blank glass slides. I let my dolls have their tea party, and I began investigating the truth of things. I looked at the veins of a four leaf clover, a drop of water from the creek, an eyelash. I learned that the smallest things hold entire universes inside [...]
Kiedy piszę te słowa na głównej scenie OFF Festivalu kończy się prawdopodobnie koncert The Flaming Lips . Koncert, którego nie możemy oglądać z przyczyn niezależnych od organizatora, występ, którego byłoby mi bardzo żal gdyby nie: słaba trasowa setlista (złożona głównie z przestrzelonego Embryonica ) oraz tancerze na złoto i ogólny, skupiony bardziej na formie niż na treści, trend w karierze tego znakomitego zespołu. The Flaming Lips trzeba było oglądać po The Soft Bulletin , ewentualnie po Yoshimi , teraz trzeba czekać w nadziei. Czego żal bardziej? Na pewno The Tallest Man on Earth, który swoim [...]
