Ryan(StopMe): I've spent most of this week listening to MJ spurred on by the surprisingly good Memorial Concert that served to remind me how truly magic his songs were (It was only spoiled by talent show reject Shaheen Jafargholi's average and cheesy version of 'Who's Lovin' You'). It hasn't all been nostalgia though, I've still come up with ten fresh tunes for this week's post: Chambers twang out atmospheric Guitar sounds on the slow building epic 'Sea Mistress' . It's the powerful conclusion to their new 'A Slow Decay' [...]

>> Welsh twee-core wunderkinds Los Campesinos! are not the only act to issue two records in 2008. The increasingly curious Seb Roberts has returned with a second release on SVC Records for the year, the EP Yeah, Well, Coué's Dead . Mr. Roberts , a Canadian-born and one-time Baltimore-based ex-pat who has spent many of his recent years in Germany and Japan, released his SVC debut Exit Strategy in March (he had previously previously issued another nine records elsewhere under various names). While the full-lengthed Exit [...]

Canadian Seb Roberts , currently based in Hamburg, Germany, has the words music geek written all over him in large friendly letters. He is determined to bring back the glory days of Madchester and he is well on his way with new EP entitled Yeah, Well, Coué's Dead . On this new EP a nasty remix of US Out of NY goes for your throat in the best NIN tradition, then let go for a couple of bars filled with acoustic guitar and some piano, before attacking again with doubled enthusiasm. Slightly [...]

I did not care for Sarah Palin, I think that was abundantly clear. However, I did learn one valuable thing from her and that is, it's OK to wear a little more blush than I normally do. I've always tended to be conservative with the cheek color, but ever since she came (and went, thankfully), I realized that I could do with a little more contour to my cheeks, hence I'm living on the wild side and applying my blush a little more liberally. This has absolutely nothing to do with today's [...]

den letzten svc release möchte ich nicht verheimlichen. nach vier jahren arbeit hat dieser tolle laden dicht gemacht. seb roberts legt dazu noch "exit strategy" vor. sein schmutziger, hookbeladener rock ist genau der richtige stoff, um in meinen urlaub zu rauschen. roberts ist so einer dieser unruhestifter, Ihr kennt die, immer und überall trifft man sie, zu allem haben sie eine meinung. der hier ist aber von der guten sorte. in mehr als neun bands hat er bereits gespielt (hoffentlich erscheinen nicht irgendwann die ganzen namen wie bei fußballern in klammern), unzählige selfreleases [...]

>> Heretofore you probably had little idea what you would be doing April 14. Frankly neither did we, until we received an email this evening from Spoilt Victorian Child Records. You may recall the label issued the stunning debut EP from Texas-shoegaze behemoth Ringo Deathstarr last year. Well on the aforementioned date the rising label will issue Seb Roberts ' Exit Strategy . Mr. Roberts was born in Canada, has apparently lived and rocked in Baltimore, and now splits time between Hamburg, Germany and Japan. Along the way he's released nine records under almost as many [...]
