Chegou em Outubro às livrarias Krautrock, Cosmic Rock and its legacy editado pela Black Dog Publisching. Há 15 anos, Julian Cope editou KrautrockSampler , um dos mais importantes livros sobre a música alemã pós 1967. Este novo livro traz-nos uma visão mais abrangente dessa época, apresentando o enquadramento sócio-político da Alemanha pós-guerra. No final dos anos 60, a Alemanha vivia um período conturbado, comunas surgiam por todo o país, e consigo, uma liberdade criativa em contraste com a tradição opressora. Dos Amon Düül aos Popol Vuh, passando por Conrad Schnitzler, Kraftwerk e muitos outros, [...]
If it's December at You Ain't No Picasso, then it's time for Mixmas! Every year I like to turn YANP over to some of my favorite bands to showcase some of their favorite songs through a themed mix. They pick a theme, five songs that fit the theme and then share a little about why [...]
Popol Vuh - Morgenruss II The Mud Hut
Guten Tag, Leute ... Continuing our summer tenpack series, For The Sake Of The Song goes all German on you this time. So put on your Lederhosen and enjoy a krautrock primer of sorts, showcasing the various exciting directions - electronic pop, avant-garde rock, neo-classical, ambient avant la lettre and a mix of all these - this utterly surprising genre could take. Auf wiedersehen! Faust - It´s A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl MP3 Can - Splash MP3 [...]
Petite sélection spéciale vacances! Des chansons qui prennent le temps, et qui font durer le plaisir sur six, neuf, quinze minutes. Beaucoup de chansons qui s'étirent sont l'oeuvre d'artistes à l'égo boursouflé incapables d'élaguer le bavardage. Ici, rien de tel, simplement de belles chansons [...]
A couple of older tunes for you today: I've only just discovered this stellar cover of Van Halen's 'Why Can't This Be Love' by Arab Strap; It's a corker, complete with drum machine & strings. Arab Strap- Why Can't This Be Love (Download) I've always wanted to start a DJ set with this track, but never quite plucked up the courage. Would be worth it just to see the looks on people's faces... Popol Vuh- The Christ is Near (Download)

I didn't do anything today, and I loved it. Actually, I didn't love it, because I woke up with one of the all-time worst hangovers I've ever experienced. Last night I was treated to the company of Jack, Ken and Katie. We decided -- after little deliberation -- to play a drinking game. You see, The Simpsons Movie was on television, and someone (I think it was Katie) decided on a simple set of rules. We had shot glasses and a spinner set up in front of us. Rule number one: whenever a main character (Bart, Homer, Lisa, [...]
Ah, Vangelis, where would we be without you? Surely we wouldn't have danced with gods and demons over portentous clouds of a blinding blue, or roamed the streets of hallucinated eastern bazaars where weasely merchants display their strange wares in a most ramshackle manner, baroque pieces of analogical technology blessed ...
I promised myself last week that I was going to cut out fast food from my diet for the next 365 days. I arrived at the decision almost immediately following a delicious meal at Qdoba last week. Phoebe was there. I left the Mexican Grill feeling disappointed with myself for consuming a 1,000 calorie burrito, an order of chips with salsa, and two large sodas. I've only used my membership card eight times this year, which translates to a once-a-month savory splurge, but something about being that full of food which is so unhealthy made me [...]

Popol Vuh - Aguirre I (Haswell amp Hecker Remix) buy the opening of the film is about descent - physically - pre-emptively - pre-post-ly (<del datetime="2008-04-16T18:39:21 +00:00">inter pre-titles contextualise it as inbetween). the refix is a mirror of ascent - down to the crashing cannon. of course descent and ascent are much the same thing - transition/confluence (cut [...]
I'm trying something new this week. Most of the readers who choose to e-mail me do so to complain about how I do not offer the Sunday Mix Tape as a cohesive downloadable file. Well, today is your lucky day, valued reader -- it's taken me 87 weeks, but your prayers have been answered. As of today, I'm going to start making compressed archives of the compilations available for you. Maybe now you can tell your friends about this website, and we can start to grow together. As friends. And lovers. I hope your weekends were fun and [...]
Dread at the Controls: In which our hero reveals that we're fucked and we're all going to die. Here's the good news: The Beast isn't coming. Here's the bad news: He isn't coming 'cos we scare him...

...And here's post #2 for today. It's just a mix tape. No cool stories or updates to go along with it. Although, if anyone out there knows CSS and wants to tell me how I can align everything on this page so that it's always centered, and centered in every browser, that would be immensely helpful to me. And if you haven't already, please buy something from me on eBay ? I'd like to stay on the west coast for as long as possible, and your money can help ensure this. Thank you. Now for some music.
