![[Photos + GIFs] Cropped Out Fest – 11.11 thru 11.13.11 – Louisville](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3913937_lg.jpg)
Cropped Out Fest not only succeeded in coming back a second time, a feat not easily accomplished, the stridently fringe festival also returned in bigger and better fashion - in terms of attendance, community enthusiasm, facilities, and that intangible festival vibe that can make or break a multi-stage weekend event. Cropped Out 2011 certainly became the product of learning what worked and what didn't from the inaugural fest last year. Though the weather is beautiful in this part of the country during the fall, it can also act unpredictably, as we learned during Cropped Out 2010 - [...]
Shit And Shine's music might sound like a pain-inducing endurance test put out by a group that clearly isn't shy of a little shocktatic publicity. But that doesn't stop it being both engrossingly addictive and, rather surprisingly, the leading candidate in the contest for the music that most perceptively captures the zeitgeist of today's Britain. Because Shit And Shine's aggressive, repetitive, warped and distorted riffs and beats do not even hint at any suggestion of narrative or story-telling and make no attempt whatsoever to engage with the listener intellectually.

it's marie curie idly wondering where that lump came from. it's blue cheer trapped inside the bloated bile-filled belly of shit and shine, trying to chew their way out. it's gene hackman in the poseiden adventure screaming why god why. it's the precise moment of solitary ejaculation when the door opens unexpectedly. it's phil spector, a blonde and a handgun in the same room. it's christopher reeves getting on his horse. one. last. time. it's that big red button that says do not press. it's morricones [...]

sh*t & sh*ne people l*ke you...REALLY! 2009 (française version) T.V. Soirée. Un vieux polaroid dans la poche extérieure, j'allume la TV. Le visage de Gorbatchev apparaît sur l'écran. Son interlocuteur est de dos. Je ne le reconnais que plus tard, quand il est filmé de face. Hubert Védrine. Je ne sais pas ce qu'ils se racontent. Le son est coupé. Andrew sisters revisited sans doute: glasnost, perestroïka et mur de berlin. Je ferme les yeux et [...]

Am I a Nice Guy? - Shit and Shine Yeah man, Rock on. Excellent. [I'm really a sucker for the eight minute short story narrated over a noisy jam. I think I'll try and write one.]
Un festival différent A l'heure ou de nombreux festivals misent sur des stars de plus en plus prestigieuses et pratiquent des prix de plus en plus lourds, le festival des Urbaines a, depuis douze ans déjà, une démarche parfaitement opposée : composé uniquement de découvertes, de projets étonnants, bousculant les propos et les esthétiques, il est gratuit, afin de permettre à chacun de se laisser aller à sa curiosité. Afin de renouveler sa logique de programmation et d'explorer de nouvelles franges des arts d'aujourd'hui, le festival a demandé cette année à six artistes suisses contemporains de [...]
I ventured West last week to my first Supersonic Festival , specialising in alternative and experimental music, organised by the lovely people at Capsule . "Festival of the Year", "fits more great music into a day and a bit than ye Avalon fields of Glastonbury manage in the average decade" and "More cake than any man can handle*" say the press blurbs about previous years so expectations were high as we ventured into the cobbled streets of the Custard Factory on a slightly chilly Friday night. After refuelling at the bar, we wander [...]

Shit & Shine must be one of the hardest working bands around. No sooner have you got past one album and another rears it's distorted head. This one is called "Küss Mich, Meine Liebe" and features eight tracks of which three are longer than ten minutes. This track is probably my favorite at the moment and is actually the longest track on the record clocking in at just under sixteen minutes. Top shit.....

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual milk crate contains Shit And Shine , Grails , and Humanfly . Shit And Shine's new one Kuss Mich, Meine Liebe is my favorite British-born record in recent memory: It's a distorted, distended, brown-tinted mass of fuzz and muck sectioned via titles like "Biggest Cock In Christendom," "The Germans [...]
