Well, it's weird to write about something that you know all too well. There's this thing in Hungary, called The Moog . They are a young indie-band. They managed to score something that other's from the country couldn't: a deal with an American label (big up to MuSick records ) and American tours. Which is awesome. They are getting ready to drop the second album later this year. The album is preceeded by a single You Raised a Vampire which has an interesting b-side, a cover of Bauhaus' Passion of Lovers, featuring the bassist [...]
Photo - Elizabeth WeinbergThink Care Bears mixed with an American pop sensation and you pretty much have the lead singer of Passion Pit AKA Michael Angelakos who wrote and recorded the whole new EP. They're tipped to be pretty mega around the world and have been widely written and spoken about on all forms of media. I went to Brighton last week to see a band called Hockey who were headlining the
Behold! a few more songs we very like-to-love by artists scheduled to play at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas next month. Sorry about the generic titles this year for these SXSW posts. Last year it was Franglish and oh-so-chic. This year, well, as you see. (Fortunately it doesn't seem to affect the music.) Click song titles to play songs, artist names to go to their SXSW
"What you got there? That ain't no fiddle." "Mister...this here's a cotton-pickin', finger-lickin', barbecued, 110-volt Nashville Moog." In 1972, Gyl Trythall made an "experimental" album called C... Continue reading "Gil Trythalls, 'Nashville Moog'" >
we've made little secret of our affection for analog synthesizers. i'm not really sure where it came from; for me it was from being a little tired of guitars. for everyone else, i think it was because they like turning knobs. we've been through several iterations of analog - first, fake analog (alesis micron) then simple analog (realistic mg-1 - a moog synth sold by radioshack in the early 80s) to our current moog voyager, which is ostensibly the bmw of analog synths. for some reason, piling on the analog synths, especially in the studio, always brings the inevitable rick [...]
The editors at JamsBio like to think of ourselves as music fans first, not critics, and that's the sensibility we strive for at JamsBio and that we seek in other sites as well. That's why we're so jazzed about Damn Fine Day , a site that each day profiles a deep album cut that's been overlooked, but deserves a place in everybody's collection. In the name of spreading the gospel about great music, we present "The Daily Deep Cut," where we add our two cents about the songs featured on Damn Fine Day. [...]
* Thrill Jockey's 2008 Advent Calendar . Free tracks everyday during the holiday season from acts like The Dead Science , Occidental Brothers Dance Band International . * Hear a podcast of Jean-Jacques Perrey and Dana Countryman's new CD "Destination Space" and a nice skype conference of them talking about the album. * WFMU presented Switched-on Basic Hip a 28 track compilation of retrofuturistic moog music, Gil Trythall , Mort Garson , Christopher Scott , Dick Hyman, Enoch Light [...]
El primer sencillo del disco debut de la banda del futuro, Los Humanoides , ha llegado a su netdisquera de confianza. Normalmente lanzamos los sencillos en la categoría ".mp33 , pero Los Humanoides enviaron tanto material para acompañar a este lanzamiento que se ganaron un post con foto gigante. Además, nosotros venimos escuchando a la banda desde sus inicios y " Moogafoniq ue " ( DESCÁRGALA ) siempre ha sido uno de los tracks que más llama la atención, pero comparado con esta versión de lujo ya terminada con sonido bombastic y nuevos [...]
He Got Licks Easily one of the best young guitarists in America and certianly close to the tops in Chicago, Jake Cinninger is the shizzle. Here's a Moog Guitar Demo with Jake of Umphrey's McGee (vid). Awesome work on the...
On October 9, I had the pleasure of seeing Umphrey's McGee at Clifton Park's best music venue in a strip-mall: Northern Lights. While the concrete box that was the room left something to be desired, the packed house received two blistering sets of Umphrey's and guitarist Jake Cinninger played his new Moog Guitar prototype the entire night. Gear-heads can read all about the specifications over on the Moog website . Watching Jake play the new toy was a real treat as the expressions on his face displayed a mix [...]

Few artists garner such a schizophrenic critical reception as Gary Numan, frontman of the post-punk group Tubeway Army. Even Numan fans seem to despise and revere him at the same time. He's one of those guys who followed a series of groundbreaking and influential recordings with an opposite series of badly-executed embarrassments. Unlike other visionaries, including his heroes David Bowie and Brian Eno, Numan sped off the edge of the cliff and then made the fateful mistake of looking under his feet. And even before his 1981 album Dance and its follow-up I, Assassin showed him [...]
Hoy en el MySpace de Eddie's Gun aparece una notificación: The Moog quiere agregarme como amigo. Tiene un mensaje diciendo "Saludos desde Hungría", en ingles. Me puse a revisar su página, y me dije: wow, estos panas hacen música chévere y son de Hungría, tema perfecto para romper con ese US/British de las bandas indies de las que siempre hablo. El tema que más me gustó fue "I Like You", canción del album "dosmilsieteañero" nombrado Sold For Tomorrow. Esta canción por lo visto es la que han pegado full porque tiene mayor número de reproducciones (sigo [...]
At around 3 a.m. I found myself going on one of those YouTube binges that are necessitated by not being able to sleep and not wanting to drop $30-plus at the iTunes Store, and it was through lots of "related link" clicking that I happened upon "Daily Nightly" by the Monkees, a song that I had "dug" a lot as a terminally unhip 11-year-old and, I learned after some Googling, one that actually had something of an historic import, what with it being one of the first pop songs to employ the Moog synthesizer. According to Eric Lefcowitz's [...]
Here we are with #61 of our weekly (and sometimes bi-weekly) installments of our radio show. This is loosely based on the muxtape I did after our summer vacation. Starts off with ambient sounds by Pepe Bradock and a spoken horror sketch by Boris Karloff on top of it, an acoustic guitar piece by Chieko Mori , and then a short trip through Africa. The second part begins with my current favourite old composer the late Piero Umiliani , we stroll through some roots reggae and dub, with Prince Buster , Burning [...]
Bob Moog tragically passed on a few years ago. But in the wake of the legacy that was Moog, a few survivors of its old guard remain. Mike Bucki is one of the last of a dying breed of true analog geniuses. I first met him back when I bought my second Moog (Moog Rogue to be exact). The Moog came to my possession in great cosmetic order but when you turned it on, it made a bunch of noises, none of which sounded like anything in particular. The synth obviously needed a tune up. I called up [...]
There's a PSA that has been running on VH-1 Classic on behalf of autism awareness which features rawk icons like Roger Daltrey, Rob Halford, and Vince Neill speaking out on behalf of the cause. All of the participants came dressed down -- wrinkles, receding hairlines, and all -- for the taping; all except the dudes from Kiss, that is, who appeared in their full facepainted and overaccessorized glory. Telling? Yes, but not suprising in the least. Kiss and any vestiges of dignity parted ways long, long ago. ( See also. ) The [...]
Old news for some of you...still interesting for the others... Here's some research I did on the web, which gave me a cool insight on the Daft Punk Pyramid mystery . So this is the Daft Punk pyramid from the inside, you might have seen some of the pics in the booklet if you bought the live CD. :-) The image comes courtesy of mixmag (via The Daily Swarm), to whom Thomas Bangalter also revealed some secrets regarding Daft [...]
