Questo post è dedicato a coloro che pensano che dai talent-show (non dai reality: " Amici " è un reality, " X factor " è un talent) musicali non venga fuori niente di valido. La musica ormai, quella nuova, quella dei giovani in rampa di lancio, è invece destinata a passare sempre più dalla tv. Triste, se vogliamo, perchè vuol dire che le porte principali sono chiuse dai "senatori", ma spesso le porte di servizio sono migliori. Quentin Mosimann ha 20 anni è nato in Svizzera da mamma elvetica padre francese. Ha vinto " [...]
A look back at the 1988 album that launched Mark Hollis out of the New Wave ghetto.and into something much deeper.
a beautiful song for the weekend. from the album "laughing stock". ::: talk talk - new grass and because it's friday, here's a song from lee harris and paul webb's later, more tribal band, 'o'rang: ::: 'o'rang - little sister
Jonathan Meiburg returns with an incredible, close-to-the-vest recreation of Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden , and it sounds damn good.
Swedish chamberpop act The Tiny will be recording a new album in August with producer Paul Webb ( Talk Talk ) behind the board.
I was actually reading Pitchfork the other day (I know... I know ), and I came across an interesting news item about Weezer. First, apparently they're trying their hand at another self-titled album (although, Led Zeppelin they are not), but they've also just released a "digital single" (God I hate these uber-modern trends), and have added two bonus tracks for their UK release. The tracks? A cover of The Band's "The Weight" and a cover of Talk Talk's "Life Is What You Make Of It". Granted, the Talk Talk tune was from The Colour Of Spring , which I [...]
Do yourself a favor and stream the new Elbow record, The Seldom Seen Kid , on IMEEM.com . The fine UK gents were responsible for making one of the finest records ever made ( Cast Of Thousands ), so anything they now do needs to be taken SERIOUSLY. Serious. After a few listens of The Seldom Seen Kid , I've noticed that Elbow has tipped their hat even harder to the likes of Talk Talk and Peter Gabriel ... this is a good thing. Anyway, [...]

Anyone else notice that when I changed servers I accidentally forgot to move my nifty logo? For three or four days this site went all Cameron Crowe Director's Cut on your ass and was Untitled. Before I get going with all the happy reposts, I'm going to tell everyone which songs I will for sure not be reposting (with the reasons why) Public Image Ltd. - Disappointed (Radio Edit) This is just a shorter version of the album track, I stopped posting radio edits after I figured this out. If [...]
Talk Talk - I Believe In You (MP3) Were it not for my catching by chance one of those classic album type documentaries, sorry, "rockumentaries" on my recently purchased digital radio (living alone I was after that "it's almost like actually having another real person in the flat" thing that I just don't get from TV), I might never have known that slightly naff synthpop/New Wave band Talk Talk actually had a "good" period. There I was, doing a bit of baking with Stuart Maconie going on about their late 80's experimental phase making [...]
It's so Serious (Rare extended version) http://audioscreen.blogspot.co m/
1984 was a fine year: US troops pulled out of Lebanon, Michael Jackson thankfully survived a terrible run-in with pyrotechnics while filming a Pepsi commercial, King Crimson broke up, Ghostbusters thrilled audiences, and I was born. All events of equal importance, of course. The Mayer Unit makes a strong argument that the year was good for music too, with its top five songs of the Annus Akroydirilis : 1. MP3: Bruce Springsteen - "I'm On Fire" (from Born In The USA, 1984). 2. [...]
When I was in my middle teens, I had difficulties sleeping at night (for reasons I still don't quite comprehend). I eventually discovered that leaving the radio on when I went to bed made it easier to nod off, the background noise serving as an effective lullaby. My initial choice of listening was the local classic rock station, as the comfortable familiarity of the playlist was tailor-made to doze off to. That changed after a fever-dream plagued night when I woke up to the rock-disco crossover nightmare known as David Bowie's "Fame," the one song capable of forcing [...]
- It could well be a January 'thing', but this might be a solution to my current malaise (what would your six options be?) - 1 = Destroy all traces of your online life, permanently and without a moment's hesitation 2 = Telephone Dad and forgive him by apologising for absolutely everything, especially the shit he pulled 3 = Steal and then play, loudly, nothing but scratchy Queen LPs for a whole month year 4 = Donate at least one hundred thousand pounds to the Tories , whilst smiling and not crying 5 [...]
Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore This lyric from Radiohead's "Reckoner" is as elliptical as it is intimate. And, since Thom Yorke's singing it, it also sounds dripping with beautiful meaning. But I have no idea what it's about. Likewise, there's something about the rest of "Reckoner" that is impossible for me to get my head around, and so I feel like I can never love it
Are you basically a jazz band? No, I mean we don't really look at it like that. It's more feeling with sounds, playing with sounds. We love jazz music and all of us have a background that involves jazz. We just take normal sounds and freak them out. - Tortoise Interview [ 1 ] . Various postrock albums list. I start with canonical albums first. notes: Experimental music is any music that challenges the commonly accepted notions of what music is. There is an overlap [...]

Getting through today's Mix Tape without making a complete ass of myself is going to take a portion of my cunning. No, wait... all of my cunning. Let me explain. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. [...]
