Spiritualized - So Long You Pretty Thing Une chanson (et une photo adéquate) pour illustrer mon post sur la religion en musique et plus particulièrement le nouvel album de The Welcome Wagon sur DLF . Les neuf minutes de Hey Jane en ouverture du dernier Spiritualized sont géniales mais finalement je préfère les huit minutes du titre de clôture, magnifiques !

Andy White Okay not the whole internet - Obama's AMA probably did more to clog those tubes yesterday - but for a certain demographic, an interview Neil Halstead gave to MTV Hive certainly registered as a major event. Not because Neil doesn't talk - he's got a new solo record in Palindrome Hunches coming out on September 11, of course he's talking - but because he addressed the topic of a potential Slowdive reunion not with denials or dismissals, but with a [...]
As you might have read yesterday , we're going quietly bananas over the new Swans record, which is definitely our favorite album of August and quite possibly our favorite thus far of 2012. It's also home to two tracks that clock in at above 20 minutes long, one other that's just over 19 minutes, and a couple more that push 10 minutes. Songs that long are always a risky proposition — the whole idea of the ultra-lengthy epic is often associated with prog and its multitude of sins, but the realms of a 10-minute-plus song are also home to [...]

By Sam Cleeve Bestival 2012 takes place 6th-9th September at Robin Hill Country Park, Isle of Wight ( website / tickets ). Lead photo (left) by Louise Roberts . Next month sees the eagerly awaited return of Rob Da Bank's annual shebang—the ninth instalment of his four-day festival, nestled away on the UK's favourite holiday-making annex, the Isle of Wight. Across the water, festival-goers will be privy to one of the summer's most thoughtful and eclectic line-ups. Exclusive live performances and an unparalleled selection of DJ sets [...]
Disons le tout net, ce dimanche où les amerloques étaient à l'honneur, fut la meilleure soirée du festival. La foule fut en revanche aux abonnés absents. En tant que festivalier, cela ne prodiguit que des avantages: les déplacements dans le ... Suite
Bon, ben, ce samedi était censé être la grosse (hhhhmmmmmmmmmm) soirée de le festival avec la venue de le The XX... Malheureusement pour la organisation, il semble que le groupe anglais n'ait pas ramené la foule espérée... Tant pis pour ... Suite
Bon, ben, musicalement et météorologiquement ce fut une la Route Du Rock bien meilleure que celle de le an dernier. Meilleure mais, après un compte rendu de chaque journée, on tentera de dire si ce fut une excellente ou juste ... Suite
Click to view slideshow. Day three and more sun, surely one the only sequences of three whole days without rain that we've had all summer. Despite 12,000 pairs of feet, the estate still looked rather fine and the spirit of village-green good naturedness was still at the forefront of everything. On the bandstand the Keston Cobblers' Club provided the perfect soundtrack for the setting with a gorgeous set of gentle folk that bodes very well for their forthcoming album. Elsewhere Grant Lee Buffalo's reformation and return was met with a set that [...]
Il est 23h, on sort du concert de Dominique A et il est temps de faire un piti compte rendu du début du festival (pas bundy). Nous arrivâmes à 18h20 pour voir Yeti Lane, ce que nous fîmes vers 18h40 ... Suite

Every once in a while, usually after a late night of communist Russia dancing , I find myself seated in the dining room of a hole-in-the-wall diner. While definitely serving an important purpose in night owl society these diners usually aren't loaded with vegetarian food. And when they do have vegetarian options, they aren't always adequately stocked. None of this would matter if the one thing that always catches my eye, chili fries, fell into the vegetarian category. Pile your menu with meat and meat based gravies, I don't care, just offer a pile of nice vegetarian chili fries. [...]

Two distinct yet likeminded instrumental albums prove the subtle power of exploring musical life non-verbally.

La Almudena Cathedral: Madrid, Spain I've always been fascinated with spirituality, from orthodox religious experiences to superstition and occult beliefs. Sometimes I think I missed a calling to pursue an anthropology course of study and spend my life conducting ethnographic studies of the belief systems of cultures around the world. I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to succinctly sum up everything I believe in myself, and I love that it's a constantly unfolding experience. The Tumblr Holy Places is full of some beautiful images [...]
Plus ça va, plus la soirée du vendredi me semble être LA soirée à ne pas rater de la Route du Rock d'été 2012: Spiritualized, Squarepusher, Dominique A, Yeti Lane, Alt-J et Civil Civic quand même! _ _ _ _ ... Suite

A German electronic musician mounts a pointless assault on tradition. In 1966, when asked by a reporter why an atheist filmmaker would be interested in a directing a sensitive and straightforward portrayal of the life of Christ (The Gospel According to St. Matthew), Pier Paolo Pasolini could respond only be reframing the question. "If you know that I am an unbeliever, then you know me better than I do myself. I may be an unbeliever, but I am an unbeliever who has a nostalgia for...
Hoo boy am I exhausted. I didn't get home from the movie theater until close to 4am, and after all the coffee it took me to stay up through the film I couldn't fall asleep as quickly as I'd intended. Which made work a bit difficult today (and probably will all through the weekend). And, [...]
