As Rocktober draws to a close, there's little left to do but get all dressed up in Drive jackets and Kahl Drogo / Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and host a fun little party. The question arises: Do we get this party started or do we stick with the spookiness of Halloween? We decided to go with the latter and make a playlist (via Spotify ) of some of our favorite, scary, messed up, shifty, and uncomfortable songs to guarantee to to anything but get the party started. Well, it depends [...]
mika vainio - "it's a muthang" (download) Newish single from Mika Vainio , who is mostly known for his work as one half of Pan Sonic , and his more experimental work with Fennesz . It's a dark, instrumental head-nodder that showed up on my radar out of nowhere. Highly recommended. buy
"Our home is Epsilon Boötis, which is a double star. We live on the sixth planet of seven—check that, the sixth of seven—counting outwards from the sun, which is the larger of the two stars. Our sixth planet has one moon. Our fourth planet has three. Our first and third planet each have one. Our [...]
And then, after some of the most difficult sounds to stomach, there came the most unbearable of silences. The booklet which accompanies the Gravitoni CD contains photographs of places Pan Sonic have played. You know, the usual sort of venues. Like Tijuana. And Easter Island. It is a reminder that, despite being a pair of [...]
When, because of threatened legal proceedings, Panasonic became Pan Sonic they took their missing A and used it as the title of their third album. Lomittain is a wedge of minimal sine tones and deadpan drums that start out of phase and gradually converge. The sharp end may be the destination, but it's the journey that's the important thing: an ever-mutating web of rhythms, matched by the crescendo of the low frequency drone that accompanies them. Unexpectedly visceral. Pan Sonic - Lomittain [...]
51. MY BLOODY VALENTINE @ PRIMAVERA SOUND28 de Maio de 2009Escrevi, na altura, a propósito do som ensurdecedor do espectáculo dos MBV: "À entrada, nos dois primeiros dias, respectivamente os dos concertos dos irlandeses no palco principal e no auditório, a organização distribuía aos participantes tampões para os ouvidos. É que -- e eu só vi o concerto do palco principal -- o volume e o ruído que
Waar zo'n lezersonderzoek al niet goed voor is. In de opmerkingen van één van de nieuwe ingevulde enquêtes stond de vraag "is het nieuwe Moritz von Oswald trio album al uit?". Muziekjournalistiek 2.0 in actie want daar wisten we hier nog niets van af. Er blijkt ook nog niet veel over bekend te zijn, maar met input van o.a. Juha van 't Zelfde van Viral Radio zijn we wel het e.e.a. te weten gekomen. Het album zou oorspronkelijk eind deze maand verschijnen op het Engelse Honest Jon's Records . Wegens de hartaanval die Moritz in oktober 2008 [...]

clarion alley series.2007 a number of my friends in the bay area are having babies as of late. this decision to breed and scatter effected my east coast friends about 5 years back. maybe the west coast is 5 years ahead, or too late. i guess it depends on how you look at it. well, two of these babies have the fortune? of listening to such bands as nirvana, radiohead and the cure in baby format, which i guess along with polka, classical and rock are formats of music. i wonder [...]
I remember listening to Pan Sonic's monumental album Kesto . When it finished, I stepped outside to see that the war was long over. Not that I could see, obviously, as my hair had grown down to my knees, and the grass was twelve feet high. My, that was a long album. Thankfully, with Cathodephase (I can call you Cathodephase , can I?), Pan Sonic have stepped away from the monolith, and have delivered an album which although lacking the width of its epic predecessor, has much more in the way of depth. [...]
The burst of the Electroclash bubble brought forward by the blossoming of a thousand shit fashion bands who thought having a drum machine and some model who could fake a german accent was enough to...

Normally I wouldn't mention this site's traffic; I'm much more focused on writing and tunes than on something like hits. Here's your but: Yesterday LWE received over a thousand hits in a 24 hour span. I'm amazed there are that many people whose tastes and Internet habits bump into my spheres of interest. But with the advent of aggregators like Hype Machine, Digg, El.bows, Technorati and the always helpful Google Blog Search, our searches are more precisely attuned to our interests and connecting with otherwise unknown but no less hardworking writers/bloggers/artists and their work. Say [...]
