A rather mixed bag of songs but these are among the best I've recently found in the mailbox... + Crushed Stars – Eyeliner + Shake The Baron – Zodiak + The Dark Clan & Null Device – Fading Belief + Matt Longo – The High Life [...]
This one will probably end up being even shorter than yesterday's post , as the heat in my office is unbearable and my brain simply refusing to cooperate. Told you that Peter would feature Les Incendiaries ! Yes Peter ! You might be predictable , but your taste in music is absolutely impeccable! One Weekly Gun is back writing songs! Will this be a "one week wonder" or will we once again be treated to a new [...]

Null Device bleiben sich selbst und ihren Fans treu und veröffentlichen auch ihren 4. Longplayer als kostenfreien Download. "Suspending Belief" erschien am 22. Juni, passend zur anstehende US-Tour der Band, auf Nilaihah Records in einer limitierten CD-Auflage von 300 Stück. Doch wie schon bei den Vorgängern "The London EP", "The Footfalls EP" ( siehe hier ) und Recursions ( siehe hier ) gibt es neben der CD und den kostenpflichtigen Downloads eine CC-lizensierte Version auf Bandcamp zum frei wählbaren Preis (ohne Minimum). Fearful Symmetry by Null Device [...]

Null Device sind wieder einmal sehr spendabel und bieten seit Kurzem ein Album mit Remixes, Raritäten und Live-Tracks zum Download an. Die Remixe stammen von Stripmall Architecture, Bogart Shwadchuck, Bloodwire und The Dark Clan und alle Aufnahmen wurden von der Band selbst nochmals überarbeitet. Wie schon bei den beiden EPs "Footfalls" und "The London EP" ( siehe hier ) kann das Album vollkommen kostenfrei heruntergeladen werden. Wer möchte darf allerdings gern einen kleinen Beitrag zu den Produktionskosten beitragen. Return (Rebuilt By Stripmall Architecture) [...]
Padding my own shoulders! Remembered today what I forgot yesterday , so xx has been getting a few good listens today. Hype has to be one of my least favorite words and The xx has certainly been getting their fair share of attention the past few months. Normally this means that I wouldn't even bother listen to them, just to be able to wave that banner saying " I'm no bandwagoner ". Nothing but stubbornness I know and more than a few times it has caused me [...]

I didn't update the blog yesterday, as I spent a large chunk of the day in Copenhagen far, far away from my computer. Among the things I did in the Danish capital was having a cup of coffee with Jesper , who is responsible for the marketing of Danish alternative/indie rock/pop band Kind of girl . Following our short encounter he wrote this , which almost made me blush. Guess you must be completely new to this blog if you have missed out on this great band, so here [...]

Thanks to Falk I'm currently listening to the 2005 The London EP by US (Madison, Wisconsin) duo Null Device . This is synthpop sounding a lot like it used to back in the 80's. The songs are immediately catchy (with lengthy instrumental passages) and chances are pretty good that you'll be humming them all day. The drumbeats just go on and on and eventually your feet will start tapping along. The entire EP (7 tracks) can be yours for free over at Last.fm [...]
