This week's round up of the tracks that I haven't had the space to post... TV Buddhas From: Tel Aviv, Israel The brilliantly named Israeli band, TV Buddhas' [...]
Midlake Last weekend the Guardian gave away an exclusive free five track download entitled The 'Denton Session', if it passed you by then you'll be happy to learn that it's freely available here . French Horn Rebellion Sign up to their mailing list and in exchange they'll send you a special mini EP for nowt. If you like what you hear then it might be worth noting that they're playing their first ever Glasgow show at the Flying Duck on the 26th of this month. [...]
This popped up in the comments, and deserves a wider audience: Slightly off-topic but as a website that I know has a history of Ooberman coverage, have you seen that they've put up their new album under The Magic Theatre name up here as a series of HD YouTube videos. Got my copy of the CD yesterday and it's lovely stuff. Thanks for the tip, anonymous. It's described as the "music you hear as you fall asleep", but that might depend on if you sleep the sleep of the just or your [...]
At this point, a quick tip of the hat to WayneClancy1's YouTube stuff , which is a veritable Oobertrove of goodness, before moving on to a 2000 Awards show performance of Bees: [Part of Ooberman weekend ]
More dodgy camerawork, and a vague "yonks ago" as Ooberman play Stormtrooper at Madame JoJos: [Part of Ooberman weekend ]
This is not, perhaps, the finest hour. The track is brilliant, but the re-release as a final single for Independiente Records saw a clunking video being churned out. This clunking video, to be precise: [Part of Ooberman weekend ]
Something of a sidesway diversion now, as - at some festival or other - Ooberman belt out Danny Boy. If you have tears, prepare to look away now. [Part of the Ooberman weekend ]
Last weekend, in the comments on the Shonen Knife story , the conversation turned to Ooberman, and if it wasn't about time there was an Ooberman weekend. Clinging to this as evidence of "public demand", like Cameron getting the results of a focus group, here we go with an Ooberman weekend then. An honorary Liverpool band (Danny once even did a training course in a converted school in Everton, which is probably more Liverpool than most Liverpool bands manage, although he did wear an admiral's coat for much of the time), and one of the [...]
Picture taken by getthebubbles "I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much; my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid [...]
Well I've decided to be deliciously random today. Random Facts About This Side of the Mouth 1. My favorite color is green. 2. Brad is my good friend. 3. I am on my third iPod. 4. I like to read. 5. I'm really not wearing any pants right now. Random Facts About the Other Side of the Mouth 1. His shoes kind of all look the same. [...]
OOBERMAN "Carried Away" A little something special for you today to make up for my exile in Wellfleet. I tend to gravitate to the underdog, the underrated. I'm a Cubs fan. No one I ever vote for, for president, ever wins. It's a sickness that one day I hope to conquer. One day I'll jump on bandwagons or ride a wave long enough to see the shore. Sigh. Not today, though.
