Photography by Us My friends, you are in for a special treat as we conclude our unofficial Mixtape week.... a very rare bird indeed, the elusive TsuruBride Mixtape!!! I know what you are thinking though, "Volume II? Tsuru, what happened to Volume I?" Well.... Let me explain. A little while back, late last year, my baby made me a mixtape of songs that reminded her of me called, obviously, Tsongs For Tsuru (clever, eh?). It was very special (it actually made me teary-eyed [...]

Photo: Camilla Akrans . There are two silences. One when no word is spoken. The other when perhaps a torrent of language is being employed. The speech we hear is an indication of that which we don't hear. It is a necessary avoidance, a violent, sly, anguished or mocking smokescreen. When true silence falls, we are still left with echo but are nearer nakedness. One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness. - Harold Pinter, The Guardian ( 31.12.08 ) [...]
Night comes as it always comes, an ambiguous old escape for all those who loathe the day. It is where the sounds of deep wilderness and the sights of wet street lamp reflections can be in their alpha state. In this environment it is easy for him to revert back to older less tactful dispositions. He takes a shot of bourbon in some half-filled, dirty bar on Broadway, and winces as the bourbon burns in his stomach. He does another and another, while groups of people walk by in merriment. The sound of loud harrumphing and glasses clinking fill the [...]

Hollywood, Mon Amour is a new collection by Nouvelle Vague producer Marc Collins featuring covers of 1980s movie songs performed by former Morcheeba singer Skye, Juliette Lewis, Brazil's Cibelle, Katrine Ottosen, and Yael Naim among others. Former Morcheeba vocalist Skye transforms Blondie's "Call Me" with mellow acoustics and Reggae rhythms, and lends her voice to a bossa nova version of Duran Duran's Bond theme "A View To A Kill". I'm not usually a fan of the latter's Starbucks style, but Skye's voice is [...]
Astronauts of Antiquity is a band out of New York City that draw inspiration from many different sources. The band does employ keyboards and the occasional glitchy beat, but their music is far from synthesized. Lush female vocals coo over guitars, bass and psychedelic flourishes. Fans of Nouvelle Vague, Stereolab and flute solos will be into this (flute solos are awesome!). Astronauts of Antiquity - Dance Until Dawn Astronauts of Antiquity Myspace AZLTRON MUSIC BLOG
" Love Will Tear Us Apart " probabilmente non è il brano che musicalmente rappresenta al meglio il sound dei Joy Division ma è senza dubbio il loro più grande successo, curiosamente esclusa sia da "Unknown Pleasures" (1979) che da "Closer" (1980), i due album-capolavoro che hanno reso, senza esagerare, i Joy Division una delle dieci band più importanti e influenti di sempre. Quando un pezzo è così "storico" spesso viene coverizzato e ripreso negli anni a venire da artisti di ogni tipo. Dopo il salto trovate alcuni video delle cover più famose [...]
Hoera! Het is vandaag de internationale dag van de ijsbeer! Hij houdt dus niet alleen op 4 oktober een feestje, samen met zijn collega's uit het dierenrijk, maar hij heeft zijn eigen dag! En terecht! Wat een prachtig dier. Feiten en weetjes over een ijsbeer? Hij kan tot 2,80 m worden, kan tot 800 kilogram wegen (!!). Hij kan goed zwemmen omdat hij vliezen tussen zijn tenen heeft. Zijn adem inhouden kan die dan weer niet zo goed, althans niet beter dan de mens: tot 70 seconden. Maar waarom zou die, als die zo dodelijk efficiënt is onder [...]
Hey folks, here with another cover of a popular 80's track. This time around it's a playful bossa nova cover of Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself." Reminds me of a mix of bossa nova meets The Bird and The Bee meets Billy Idol. From wiki : The song is reportedly about masturbation , although it is in truth about what Tony James and Billy Idol witnessed in a Japanese night club during the band's 1979 Japanese Tour as patrons watched themselves dance in the space enhancing [...]
![Lux Interior R.I.P. [21.10.46 - 04.02.09]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1511803_lg.jpg)
Cramps frontman Lux Interior died this week – he's gone to that great goth graveyard in the sky / bowels of the earth [delete as appropriate]. It's no secret that we are BIG fans of The Cramps (the sound of Miss Pain has oft been described as a kind of "electro-Cramps rumble", and we've covered their 'Call of The Wighat', and done our own Cramp-ed up version of 'Fever' in our live sets). Here's our little tribute to him… First, a raunchy, blues-y stab at 1978 their buzzzzzzzzzzzz-erk tremelo-drone 'Human Fly' by [...]
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman. ~ Ludwig van Beethoven ~ What is the essence of adept or good music? Is it the mere ability to catch people's attention or has it had to do with the virtuoso style of creating the songs which somehow makes it unique from other pieces? +/- I couldn't answer that. In some ways, music has its own relativity. For almost 500 posts here in Play which 6 months later [...]
Folks that taut the French New Wave are either film professors or upiddity liberals who found this niche in the film world to bolster their own self worth by being able to flaunt French titles and phrases while discussing the overwhelming importance of Rimbaud . Easily the least pretentious of these films – and most entertaining as a result of its adherence to basic noir tendencies – is Godard's Alphaville . In the film, a raspy throated Lemmy Caution sets out to [...]

Gig Of The Week - Vivian Girls - Brixton Windmill Brooklyn's Vivian Girls have had a whirlwind 2008. Recently named in Rough Trade's 50 albums of 2008 (#9, no less), the band follows support slots with Deerhunter, Fucked Up and Love is All over in the States with a couple of shows here in London. The first is the peach, set in the dark, cramped surroundings of Brixton's tiny Windmill venue. The sound is resolutely lo-fi, with hints of Sarah Records influence along with classic girl group vs Jesus And Mary Chain noise. So [...]
