This gorgeous piece of hardware is the Elekit Tube Amplifier , designed by Koichi Futatsumata . I've always been obsessed with tube amps but I've never seen one look this good. Of course, it would look best if the rest of your furniture is of a similar spec - which is not the case for me - but maybe this is so amazing that it can elevate even the most drab of living spaces with its sexy minimalism. The only problem is that I want to buy it right now and it appears to be impossible. I find [...]

tattie toes play a kindof semi-made-up (isn’t everything?) basque balkan jazz folk strammash. with a bit of velvet underground violin screech and ceilidh stomp and shanty wooze. a rhythmic fucking delight. big ballsy gutsy singing from small lady. and a clattering kinetic rattle that reminds me occasionally of sunburned hand of the man. felt like dancing, but one beer don’t make me fleet of foot. totally digging this, despite the short set. so good i bought one of those wee record things that i have far too many of.  available from the fine people at nuts [...]

• Volcano The Bear - One Hundred Years Of Longitude

moon unit : not zappa’s daughter. but the three piece featuring nackt insecten’s scrabbletastic ruaraidh sanachan on guitar (and not sitting on a rug full of overdriven twinkly things). they had the inevitable guy with table of wires and joyboxes. but really the show belonged to the fella on drums knocking buggery fuck out of his kit, percussing in a way somewhere between chris corsano and dave lombardo. hell’s bells he can pound. epic and loud and freeform huge monstrous waves of cosmic doom and sonorous drone, sturm und drang and sometimes, sometimes veering almost nearly not quite [...]

This is Boy George's first revelatory interview about his jail sentence for his imprisonment of an Norwegian rent boy . He looks the same as he did years ago. He said that he expected it, so we feel sorry for him a little bit. But, he liked being tagged and restrained.  That must've been an exercise in discipline. It's funny how in prison they cover up the lewd pictures in magazines. We know a place like that, if you know what we mean. Anyway, as always he's funny and smart. Click below for part 2. [...]

Disco dynamo Richard X has taken Saint Etienne's "Foxbase Alpha" and re-arranged it into a brand new beast called FOXBASE BETA.  Using the original masters, adding cellos, electrix, choirs, and the spirit of Brian Cant he has created something really special - spruced-up yet reverential, it is essentially a 2009 up-date of Foxbase Alpha, given a shot of vodka and a loving caress.

Πουλολούλουδο! Βγάζει μάτι! O Ελβετός μουσικός και παραγωγός Cyril Boehler είναι ο άνθρωπος μας πίσω από το project που ακούει στο όνομα Zwicker . Γνωστός στη ηλεκτρονική μουσική σκηνή της χώρας του έχει γράφει μουσική σε ταινίες, έχει αναλάβει δεκάδες παραγωγές και δεν σταματά να ονειρεύεται. Πιο σωστά ονειρεύεται με τα μάτια ανοιχτά. Ακριβώς αυτό είναι και το ντεμπούτο album του Zwicker γεμάτο electro κομμάτια φτιαγμένα από όνειρα. Το "Songs Of Lucid Dreamers" κυκλοφόρησε πριν λίγους μήνες (συμμετέχει μέχρι και ο Matt Didemus των Junior Boys) και τώρα που αρχίσαμε να βλέπουμε εφιάλτες [...]

Διαβάζω για φθινοπωρινή κατάθλιψη και με πιάνει σκέτη κατάθλιψη που δεν έχω (μήπως θα 'πρεπε;). Δηλαδή, σόρι, υπάρχει πιο ωραίο πράγμα από το φθινόπωρο που για πολλούς σηματοδοτεί και ένα νέο ξεκίνημα; Aν δεν έχεις να μετακομίσεις σε ένα μεγαλύτερο διαμέρισμα με ενοίκιο-βαρύ γλυκό, σίγουρα θα επιστρέψουν και πάλι οι φίλοι σου που ξενιτεύτηκαν στα Βερολίνα και στα Λονδίνα και θα χαρείς (jump, jump). Αν δεν έχεις βρει  δουλειά με τα διπλάσια χρήματα (πέρασε έξω, σε παρακαλώ), θα συνεχίσεις να κάνεις διακοπές στην μαγευτική πρωτεύουσα ή θα ξενιτευτείς εσύ για μια καλύτερη τύχη στην Αυστραλία (φίλησε μου τους Cut Copy να χαρείς). Επίσης, [...]
