The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order — not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopaedias and dictionaries. There is an allure to enumerating how many women Don Giovanni slept with: It was 2,063, at least according to Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte. We also have completely practical lists — the shopping [...]
Na de eerste twee dagen werd er al een nabeschouwing uit de grond gestampt door Inge en co , maar aangezien State X/New Forms dit jaar niet op een weekend meer op minder kijkt, volgen Roy en Triptan met een tweede episode uit Den Haag. Woensdag: H▲unted H▲ll Midden in de week verlegt State X/New Forms zijn epicentrum. In plaats van het Paard is de Kerk de plaats van handeling en dat is niet zomaar, want vandaag staat de H▲unted H▲ll avond op het programma. Een avond vol heksengeluiden, spook drones en meer uit die donkere [...]

Mushy , c'est Valentina, artiste pluridisciplinaire signée sur Mannequin Records , pour qui elle a travaillé en tant que designer avant de consacrer le plus clair de son temps à la musique. Souvent comparée à Zola Jesus, cette jeune Italienne passionnée, entre autres, de sons industriels, œuvre davantage sur le tableau des atmosphères dark wave plus abstraites et subtiles. Son album Faded Heart , est une pièce mature à exploiter sans retenue tant il est une source d'émotions intarissable. Graphiste et future architecte, Valentina accorde une importance capitale à l'image. Les diverses [...]

http://mushyyy.tumblr.com/ Self proclaimed (well by her PR) as the Italian answer to the magnificent Zola Jesus release ʻThe Spoilsʼ, gothic enchantress Mushy has recently released her album 'Faded Heart'. It's certainly not one for the faint hearted, an album so depressingly gloomy and sinister that it would not be advised to be on your iPod outside after dark, unless you get your kicks out of walking home feeling like your life will end at any moment. Drenched in a nightmarish haze of darkness and melancholy ambiance 'Faded Heart' is a ghostly combination [...]
The pit is a wormhole shield that conveys emotional energy into a frozen vacuum where it floats in stasis like the discoloured specimens of a crippled race. The pendulum is the razor-sharp condensation of molten dreams flowing inky from the alcove at the pinnacle of the witch house. Mushy brandishes both weapons deftly, deviant chanteuse of the shadow gladiator arena. Faded Heart is the field recording of a night of slo-mo psychic bloodshed at this crumbling coliseum, a debut of uncanny mystique and ghostly enigma accomplished beyond the glummest dreams of most drag apprentices. It drenches [...]
If you've been sitting there in the dark watching the rain thinking how cool it would be if Zola Jesus had a 26-year-old, Italian doppelganger who also happened to be an architect and graphic designer, then your luck is in. Mushy is from Rome and her new album Faded Heart is the synth-wave soundtrack to that nightmare you keep having. Mushy - Child Of Light Will Burn [mp3]

This is a particularly biased post, but it's long overdue. For the past ten years, my brother Paul has been performing under the name Quiet River High . I have had his music in my head for the better part of my life; I remember his first guitar, a rusted Stratocaster my dad found in a pile of discarded items on his way home from work. I remember Paul going through several sets of strings on this thing, even though we had no amp. I remember his first "real" guitar, a Hohner, which he brought to his first performance. [...]
Despite massive complaints blogger still hasn't reinstated Music of the Moment . Instead Chris has reloaded the blog himself now using Wordpress . A trio of news from the glorious indie label Shelflife Records . The CDEP+7" The Imperial School by Horse Shoes has now hit the stores. It's a limited edition release, so hurry up ordering your copy! + [...]
I like my hometown. I really do. It's beautiful and historical, and enough things are happening here to make it a great place to live. Unfortunately its inhabitants don't seem to appreciate music all that much. Unless of course some useless cover band is playing or one of our nation's many dinosaurs (you know – those artists, who have been around for the past three our four decades) are paying us a visit. Then people show up in bunches. But when fairly unknown artists, who are trying to make a living playing their self-written music, are coming to town, you [...]
I'm still pissed about that cancellation . I know grumping and whining in a blog isn't comme il faut, but I just can't help myself! Instead Mushi will be playing at another venue in Helsingoer , so perhaps I should try that one instead? + The Nightcrawler Remember Danish shoegazers Dorias Baracca that I featured last year? 3 new tracks and 1 (what I believe must be a) re-recording is now streaming at Myspace . Plans [...]

No no! It's not my birthday today. But you probably were aware of this already; as I did celebrate it with drum rolls and fanfares last month, when hitting the big four-o. So I guess that one was hard pressed to miss? But to get back on track, I've recently turned into quite a Facebook geek, where you (among lots of stuff - most of it both stupid and pointless to be honest) get reminders on your friends' birthdays. Friends should probably be "friends", as several of them aren't exactly the ones [...]
Remember to show up tomorrow night at Rust in Copenhagen to pay farewell to Velour . Supporting act will be indie rock/psychedelic/somewhat 60's inspired quartet Golden Green Tangerine , whom I (after streaming a few tracks) really am looking forward to get acquainted with. + American Dreaming Idlewild guitarist Rod Jones is working on a solo album and so far two pretty fine demos can be [...]
SuperTroels has made a great remix of the Marvel Hill track In The Mess Together . The song is from the band's forthcoming album Heartless Is More (out September 10). + In This Mess Together (SuperTroels Remix) Anyone remember The Lukewarm I mentioned a few times last year? The project is currently on hold, which probably is quite logic as the band's only member - Michael - is the drummer in the aforementioned [...]
I have HITS IN THE CAR to thank for this one. Of course, it only makes sense that a Danish blog would be best able to alert the world to an up-and-coming Danish artist. In this case, that artist would be the Hobbit-monikered RASMUS FYNBO , who records under the far-more-dubious name MUSHI . I'll let HITS give you the scoop: "My current favorite album is the recent release by Danish one-man project Mushi. [...]
My current favorite album is the recent release by Danish one-man project Mushi (in real life known as Rasmus Fynbo ). The album (released March 19) is called Unfairytales and has received some pretty good reviews in the Danish media (you can read a few here if you understand Danish). The music varies quite a lot throughout the 12 tracks on the album, and sounds like he's done his best to mix as many musical genres as possible. Whether you want Balkan rhythms, western themes, cabaret, country or the [...]
