Plugout Festival er en elektronisk musikfestival, der foregår på noget så eksotisk som renæssanceslottet Engelsholm nær Vejle over tre dage, fra den 7.-9. juni. Den er fuld af gode navne fra den danske elektroniske scene, både de mere etablerede kunstnere og nyere navne, der er så undergrund, at jeg faktisk ikke har kunnet opstøve noget info eller musik fra dem på det store Internet. Jeg er personligt vild med naturlige lyde i elektronisk musik, og det er præcist, hvad der kendtegner de kunstnere, jeg vil anbefale som must-sees på Plugout Festival. [...]

[ purchase this for a good introduction to Ravi Shankar‘s music ] The headline in the New York Times read, “Ravi Shankar, Sitarist Who Introduced Indian Music to the West, Dies at 92”. All perfectly true. Shankar blasted away musical boundaries, working with classical, jazz, and pop musicians in the West, and also engaging all kinds of audiences. I could go on about his importance, but I think a personal anecdote will cover it nicely. It was the late sixties. I was the youngest of three brothers who were firm in our devotion to [...]
With 12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief, the luminaries of the music world gathered once again to raise money and awareness, this time benefiting the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Ni bien arrancamos el año se nos fue el máximo ídolo y referente del rock nacional; después el mundo perdió a un pionero del hip hop y hace unos días a un tipo capaz de inspirar a un beatle. Argentina tuvo su capítulo aparte en mala suerte: se cancelaron varios shows internacionales inclusive días antes. Este es nuestro ranking de las 5 peores noticias del año. [...]

A cantora perdeu o pai, o respeitado músico Ravi Shankar , que faleceu na noite da última terça-feira, (11/12), aos 92 anos.

A great musician and human being - with talented children
myworldmusicfriends.com For children of the multicultural age, the late Shankar was something of a father figure. Original Website: myworldmusicfriends.com/
The legendary sitarist, musical guide, and entrancing performer Ravi Shankar passed away on Tuesday. Nearly two years ago, I had the incredible luck of meeting Shankar at his home in Encinitas, CA. It was the first music interview I had ever been a part of, and in addition to gaining insight on interview styles from my own mentor, I was able to appreciate the sharp mind of a living legend. On that day, Shankar seemed to emit an aura that spoke volumes of his musical knowledge and experience – it is rare for an artist to maintain a musical career [...]

photo from The Sun Is Paul McCartney to play with the remaining members of Nirvana ? In a media frenzy set off by British paper The Sun the facts have become a bit obscured, but the chance that the Beatle will play with Grohl and Novoselic at a Hurricane Sandy benefit tonight at Madison Square Garden has not been ruled out. A publicist from Nasty Little Man, which represents both Grohl and McCartney, told SPIN "we can neither confirm nor deny" the reports. [ Spin [...]
You’ll have heard today that Ravi Shankar has died aged 92. Can’t claim to be any sort of a fan of his and have never really bothered to spend much time listening to his music, but a friend of mine pointed me towards this… wonderful…video. It’s spellbinding stuff which actually made me late for work this morning - I literally could not tear myself away from it. Apart from the playing, it’s a great video in itself, a bit like the Band [...]
