Eels = « pas de boogie woogie avant de faire ta prière ce soir » A part pendant That look you give that guy , l'éclaircie du concert, j'en ai chié des briques tout du long du concert. On a même eu droit à un solo de batterie. Le seul morceau de « Beautiful freak » qui a été joué c'était (ai-je cru reconnaître) Mental , seul morceau de ce fantastique LP que je n'aime pas. Mark Oliver Everett était gai comme un pinson, eels'est même dandiné comme un canard sur la fin et a eu [...]
J'ai manqué de temps pour pondre la sorte d'anthologie Roxy Music que j'avais prévu de pondre tel une poule avant leur concert de dimanche ... J'ai préféré réécouter longuement leurs merveilleux disques (les trois premiers surtout et une compile). Je me suis dit que finalement parler d'une seule chanson me prendrait déjà assez de temps comme ça. Et j'ai choisi le troisième morceau de leur 1er LP de 1972 : If there is something . C'est par ce [...]
My friends, it took me long enough, but I finally manned up and spent a few days with that Prince deep cutz collection that hrrundivbakshi demanded that I confront for Hear Factor . It was one of the most difficult series of listening sessions I've ever encountered, but I am a better man for it - and you, HVB, are a better man for having put me through it. E. Pluribus, you're a good egg, too - and thanks for never making [...]
La Route du rock chérie à peine finie, il va déjà falloir s'y remettre... Bon ben, oui, quoi, Rock en Seine , c'est quand même dur d'y résister... C'est pas très loin de Caen, y a une affiche de la mort, on peut chopper le dernier métro après les concerts et le cadre est chouette. Pour être franc (voire pesetas), je me dis parfois que c'est un peu trop varié/étalé* à mon goût (Foals, le vendredi, LCD le samedi et Wave Machines le dimanche, au milieu de tas de trucs qui n'ont pas [...]

![Classic Album Review: Roxy Music – Roxy Music [1972, Island]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2749228_lg.jpg)
It saddens me that most people my age will only strongly identify Roxy Music 's "wuss rock" period towards the end of their run with Avalon , due almost entirely to the excellent scoring Sofia Coppola accomplished with Lost in Translation . Listen...it's not that songs like " More Than This " are bad; in fact, More Than This is gorgeously cynical (read: the words of a disappointed romantic, where idealism wants to co-exist with an uncompromising reality) showcase of Bryan Ferry's songwriting skills. It's just that there is no comparison to Roxy Music 1972. Their debut [...]
I'm not, generally speaking, an impulse buyer. When I head out to the store early on Saturday mornings to snag provisions for Paloma, the animals, and me, I do so with blinders on. We need peanut butter, cheese, and bagels, so I am tossing a jar of peanut butter, a wheel of cheese, and container of bagels into the cart, checking out and moving on with life. (unfortunately, our store does not sell cheese as wheels, but I can dream) I am rarely tempted to stray from the mental list I [...]

As we previously mentioned this fall Bryan Ferry will release his latest studio album, Olympia, via Astralwerks Records. The album, which features a who's who of high profile guests including David Gilmour, Groove Armada, Scissor Sisters, Flea and Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), will also see Ferry reuniting with his former Roxy Music band mates - Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay - for the first time since 1973's For Your Pleasure . Ferry recently released this video for You Can Dance... [...]
Hoy Pitchfork anunció que Brian Eno editará su próxima larga duración en Warp Records . Esta noticia es una que seguro tiene contentos a fans y miembros del sello, puesto que Brian Eno es una de las más grandes influencias de un alto porcentaje del roster de Warp, y como bien dijo Pitchfork, artistas del nivel de Aphex Twin y Boards Of Canada , quizá hoy no sonarían igual de no ser por el trabajo y las inquietudes tempranas de este artista visionario. Aunque no hay gran información [...]
(Music Before 1990) T. Rex - Electric Warrior Thirty-nine years ago this week, Marc Bolan and his band T. Rex hit #1 on the U.K charts with their breakout single "Get It On" (re-titled "Bang A Gong (Get It On) in the U.S.). The song and its associated full-length Electric Warrior formed the foundation of the new genre known as "glam rock." The genre is best remembered today for the theatricality and androgyny present in live performances and [...]
For many, one of the highlights of the summer passed. Yes, Pitchfork '10 came and went. The hipsters are peeling, the artists have moved on to other festivals in other cities, and the clean-up crew is still picking up discarded biodegradable plastic cups. Well, as I've said many times before, when a major musical event ends, be it Coachella, Bonnaroo, or Pitchfork, that doesn't mean everything else in music ends with it. There's still plenty more on the horizon to cover. Arcade Fire's new LP is coming out, Lollapalooza still hasn't happened... Need I say more? And don't forget everything [...]
We parked our yellow car at Lovebox Festival for the weekend (17-18/7) and here's what we saw in Victoria Park... Grace Jones: Simply AMAZING!!! Hot Chip: Always ready for the floor. Seeing them for the 3rd time this year, still a live to remember... Peaches: Break a leg! Even with a broken leg still dirty, wild and... transgender! Mark Ronson: Thank you Simon and Nick! Roxy Music: Brilliant! Midnight Juggernauts: They took us out into their galaxy. Yeasayer: [...]
Picture teletubby land; cross it with a circus; sprinkle it with fairy dust; add acid, and you have some idea of what Lovebox is like. An Eden in the middle of Hackney, Victoria Park is converted into another world, with huge fake flowers, an orchard featuring giant apples, tree-houses, and an NYC Downlow section with a yellow taxi sticking out of the top of the building! All of this added to the entirely unique atmosphere created by this festival, one of excitement, decadence, and… love! Read more..
Bryan Ferry is better than you. He gets more girls. He still looks good for a man well into his golden years. He also roped in some heavyweights for his brand new record Olympia. This is the first single entitled You Can Dance . This, friends, is baby-making music and nothing less should be expected from the man who helped put the "art" in "artifice" with the legendary Roxy Music. The record itself will feature his old Roxy Music cohorts Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera and...Brian Eno! Throw in Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Mani from the Stone Roses/Primal [...]
Nearly 30 years after releasing their last studio album, Avalon , influential art-rock act Roxy Music have announced that they will reunite for the first time in over a decade for a string of shows in the UK in 2011 to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary. Joining Bryan Ferry on the seven-date run will be multi-instrumentalist Andy Mackay, guitarist Phil Manzanera and drummer Paul Thompson. Despite appearing alongside his former band mates on Ferry's upcoming studio album Olympia, which is due out on October 25, founding member Brian Eno will not take part [...]
In last week's one-two punch, Roxy Music announced a reunion on Bryan Ferry's new solo album , followed rather swiftly by news that the band - which first formed in 1971 - would be touring in honor of their 40th anniversary . Now that you're dazed, how's this for a kill shot: via RollingStone.com , a first taste from Ferry's October 26th Olympia release in the form of a video for "You Can Dance". Is that a KO or what? In a video that could be easily mistaken for [...]
