I'm not usually an Independence Day person. I like to grill and drink, but I don't approach it the same way I do, say, Christmas Eve (see: any of the past four years of drunken exploits) or my birthday. But I have to admit, this July 4th weekend was one of the best I've ever [...]
Suddenly, Steven Hess 's wondrous 'percussive fog' is all around. Pan American re-issue? Check (& LMYE coverage on its way. No, really...). Cleared debut? Released last week (& with a Digitalis cassette to follow, allegedly). Return of On? One of the 50 albums that particularly mattered to us in 2010 . Covering Can? Yup . Turn-of-the-century greenhouse installation? Why, yes, since you ask - that too . & that's just to [...]
For Waiting, For Chasing was originally issued in a limited pressing by the Stefan Németh (Radian) curated Mosz label in 2006. This is the first time it is being made widely available in North America and elsewhere, and also the first time it is being issued on the vinyl LP format. As Mosz eloquently stated at the time of release, "...it is not about the process or the media, which have been used. It is about how elements and structures are put in a detailed relation to each other, ending up in a slow-moving, breathing organism. Filaments of percussive [...]
[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] Soon to be Soul-dance pop superstars Body Language has innocence, enjoyable stage presence, and danceability nailed down for a crowd any young crowd, download this free EP they're offering . Mujuice is a Russian producer i'm pretty sure, i'm guessing he's kind of young too. He always hooks me in with catchy repetition, reminds me alot of Farben's Starbox . Fans of the label Kranky don't need an introduction to Pan American , I [...]
Ace is the "wild guy in the group" who likes doing mad trickz on his bike, while "AZN Thunda" AKA Brett has a "hard exterior but a soft inside, just like mochi (being from Asia of course)". This is the bio provided of Teengirl Fantasy – actually consisting of Oberlin College students Nick Weiss and [...]
Some things bear worth repeating. Feu Thérèse is one of them, as I feel exposing their music right now would be dramatically more effective than it was in 2007, when I found myself gushing over their debut, Ça Va Cogner. They had apparently split that same year, but their permanent elusiveness had prevented anyone from [...]
Vladislav Delay "Tummaa" - Leaf Mp3 | Vladislav Delay - Tummaa My heart almost stopped when i heard that Valdislav Delay new album was out , i was so involved with his last two albums that naturally the expectations were very high. I cant say that im disappointed with the record , its just that with "Tummaa" Vladislav turn into a more cooperative experience than previous works , the astral random blurs of intensity that were shattered all over "Whistleblower" were a bit gone . Its a less sonic adventure , more [...]
So far this year has been quite musically mindblowing. But wasn't that kind of expected? With even more anticipated albums, songs, and tours on the horizon, 2009 is shaping up to be one of the better years on the decade. Top 5 Albums That Met/Surpassed My Expectations Simplistic and a combination of years of timeless work. Meticulously crafted and easy to get obsessed with. An instant classic. [...]
Every one of Stalin's houses had its own private cinema, and in his last years, the cinema became not only his favourite entertainment but also a source of political inspiration. It was one of the venues from which he ruled the Soviet Empire: this was cinematocracy - rule by cinema. Stalin loved movies, but he was much more than a movie-buff. The new Communist Party archives in Moscow, and the recently opened personal papers of Stalin, reveal that he fancied himself a super-movie-producer/director/ screenwriter as well as supreme censor, suggesting titles, ideas and stories, working on scripts and [...]

there are quiet places also in the mind, he said meditatively. but we build bandstands and factories on them. deliberately - to put a stop to the quietness. ...all the thoughts, all the preoccupations in my head - round and round, continually ... what's it for? what's it all for? to put an end to [...]
Can art be a vehicle for political change? Yes, I assume that a large part of Blair's appeal (like Kennedy's) is aesthetic, just as a large part of the Nazi appeal lay in its triumph of the will aesthetic. I suspect that many of the great cultural shifts that prepare the way for political change are largely aesthetic. A Buick radiator grille is as much a political statement as a Rolls Royce radiator grille, one enshrining a machine aesthetic driven by a populist optimism, the other enshrining a hierarchical and exclusive social order. The ocean liner art deco of the [...]
It's received wisdom that talking about your dreams is boring. Doug Martsch puts it well when he sings 'no one wants to hear what you dreamt about unless you dreamt about them'. I dream a lot and I used to tell people about my dreams a lot. But now I've come to recognise that dull mist that descends over people's faces when conversation switches to 'lads I dreamt I rode a unicorn wearing a Meath jersey into Tesco last night. Except get this, it wasn't really Tesco, it was my granny's house when I was young......' 'Really? That's eh, interesting. [...]
Lo avevamo accennato lo scorso settembre ed oggi andiamo con l'ufficialità. Rick Alverson, in fuga temporanea dai meravigliosi Spokane, ha terminato il suo primo film come regista. La pellicola si intitola "The Builder" e, nella colonna sonora, si avvale di nomi da circoletto rosso e garanzia assoluta. Oltre agli inevitabili Spokane sono stati della partita: [...]
Did you all remember to deprive yourselves of one hour of sleep this morning? I sure did! I had to be at work early and the entire day just kind of crept by like the slowest, most excruciating event since...uh...that presentation I had to give for English class my senior year of high school. Sure, on those rare occasions when I actually eat lunch (Sundays only), it usually revitalizes my spirits, but for some reason today it made me even more tired. Oh well. Two more days until my "weekend", and LOST . Too bad Top Chef [...]
pan american there can be no thought of finishing 2009 (française version) Ce matin j'ai écrit : Plusieurs heures déjà. Au moins trois. Que, de dos, il contemple le mur. Mieux, il observe, inspecte, surveille l'intersection des lignes de quatre carreaux situés au dessus de sa tête. Elle entre, un désir, une question au bord des lèvres. Sans bouger le reste de son corps, sa tête fait un quart de tour [...]
eigentlich ist heute radiotag, siehe laufband, aber ein paar amtliche downloads beschere ich Euch heute dennoch. auf eine langfristige ankündigung meiner sendung musste ich verzichten, weil ich spontan eingesprungen bin. umso wüster der mix. versprochen. morgen die nachbetrachtung hier. laundro matinee hatte eine feine session mit ihm eingespielt, bei uns gibts nur auf die ohren, dort die videos: Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - Trap Door Miles [...]
fint, varmt og ambient. So That No Matter - Pan American
Pretty weak release week. Other than a few big names that are past their prime, the one album I highly recommend is Laura Gibson 's Beasts of Seasons . Arguably one of the best releases of the year so far. :: Air France , No Way Down (101 Distribution) :: The Alternate Routes , A Sucker's Dream (Vanguard) :: August Burns Red , Lost Messengers: The Outtakes (Solid State) :: Black Lips , 200 Million [...]
Various Artists War Child presents Heroes TV on the Radio - "Heroes" from The Popscene ..." David Bowie and Sir Paul McCartney were the first legends to lend their support and they selected two of 2008's most acclaimed artists: Welsh singer Duffy, whose debut album 'Rockferry' has sold 4 million copies and marked her out as one of the year's freshest talents; and New York art-rock outfit TV On The Radio, the coolest, most critically-lauded act of the year thanks to their outstanding album 'Dear Science'.
