Wikipedia I was having a little trouble coming up with something to say about this week's selection by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and taken from the 1991 Leonard Cohen tribute album I'm Your Fan , but happily a little plumbing around the tubes of the internet turned up this little piece at chromehorse (chrome solidarity!) that corroborates the bit at Wikipedia on the song. Which is basically that Cave and company got wrecked before recording a marathon-length jam on "Tower Of Song" [...]
Este ano, tal como no ano passado, houve uma série de videoclips que me chamaram a atenção pela positiva. Desde Bodi Bill com "Brand New Carpet", Battles com "Ice Cream", Real Estate com "It's Real", IAMX com "Ghosts of Utopia", entre outros. Entretanto aquele que mais me agradou em 2011 é o vídeo relativo ao tema "Midnight City" dos M83. O segundo que mais me agradou foi o relativo a "

I've never been much of a fan of Halloween. Or at least not beyond my days of extreme candy greed. I have a hard time thinking of a costume, it's usually really terrible when I finally decide on one, and then I spend the rest of the night having everyone tell me how lame my costume is. So I gave up and just leave the holiday to the people that are into that sort of thing. But I do really like the strive for spookiness in Halloween. I'm not a big fan of the goofiness of the costumes [...]

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011, happened this week, and not only was it the single best night of baseball entertainment possibly ever, Radiohead played their first gig in over three years to a smallish crowd at The Roseland in NYC. At this point, Radiohead's NYC media thing is confusing to me. Colbert Report, two shows, DJ sets, and Jimmy Fallon all in a city that sports some of the best champions of consumerism and greed - two tenets the Radiohead boys would love to live without. Not only that, but King of Limbs came out like 7 1/2 months [...]

Frank Yang The narrative around The Horrors' second album Primary Colours was a simple one - the band who made Strange House , with the outlandish costumes and stage names, were no more and in their place was a lean, fearsome combo who weren't part of a shoegaze revival but a shoegaze revitalization. Primary Colours learned from the sound-sculpting lessons of the past and applied them towards creating something familiar yet undeniably fresh. It was a remarkable thing. Their visit in October 2009 [...]

We previewed the amazing Latitude back at the start of April , but since then they've added a few more amazing acts just to, well, make it even more amazing as far as the "alternative" festivals go. Joining the likes of Grace Jones , Pet Shop Boys and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds they've added some of TGTF's favourite artists, including Regina Spektor , Passion Pit [...]
