The See See est un sextet installé à Londres mais composé d'expatriés (nord de l'Angleterre, Suède, Nouvelle Zélande, USA)... Phil Anderson, l'un des membres du groupe, jouait du clavier et assurait des voix dans les Beep Seals, un groupe à la carrière éphémère dont on on avait vanté les deux premiers 73s. Ces Six Six [...]

Last weekend I had some heavy-duty bookshelf-rearranging to do. Had to sort and file all my comic books into new holders. Figured it would take about an hour so I put in Rob Blackledge 's new album, "Inside These Walls." I figured I could get through several submissions, since so many are so boring that I cut 'em off or hit skip. Well, all I got through with was this one CD. And I was never tempted to cut it off. And that's pretty high praise from a guy who has to listen to at least six albums a [...]

Pour terminer cette courte semaine en douceur, j'ai mis la main sur ce genre d'album que j'aime au plus haut point. De la pop légère et futée qui s'écoute sans fin et qu'on cherche régulièrement à s'accaparer. Digne d'un album des Shins sans trop d'artifices sonores, la musique de The Beep Seals va directement à l'essentiel et ce qu'il faut pour soudoyer nos oreilles trop souvent ingurgitées de sons malsains. Alors bonheur partagé, je me récoute une nouvelle fois She Sells [...]
The Beep Seals are going to do their own festival at Manchester's Deaf Institute. Called Beepf, unsurprisingly, you can even befriend the event on MySpace : the result of Manchester's leading punctual band The Beep Seals badgering all their friends into putting on possibly the most brilliantest all day festival ever. Taking place inside The Deaf Institute over two rooms, acts so far confirmed for Beepfest are: Jim Noir Magic Arm The Answering Machine Ten Bears The Junipers John Stammers The Beep Seals The Soundcarriers The Maladies Of Belafontaine In the basement will [...]

SCALA 1 : millemila sentirsi come il pallino rosso in mezzo a una cartina sconfinata: quello che dice tu sei qui. appoggiato al guard-rail, ai bordi della tangenziale-est , con i piedi ben piantati su una corsia d'emergenza che le emergenze quelle vere non le ha mai sapute risolvere , a fumare una sigaretta e a fare i conti con una vita che non ha mai imparato. a far di conto. LA VITA : tocca trasferirsi. IO : eh. LA VITA : ma su, un po' [...]

Wayne Coyne de los Flaming Lips les sugirió el nombre, mientras que Norman Blake les produjo el disco. No es extraño así que su música combine a la perfección la psicodelia de los primeros con el gusto por la melodía de los segundos. Entre los miembros de esta banda de Manchester se encuentran el ex guitarrista de Alfie y algunos de los músicos de la banda que acompañaba a Jim Noir . Acaban de publicar "Things that Roar", su magnifico LP de debut. ---English--- Wayne Coyne from [...]

Recently I had to reformat my mp3 player and quickly threw a slew of songs into the player. In the bunch were some older tracks by a band called Ox . And in amongst those was this cover of Cheap Trick's "Surrender". Give it a listen and/or download... come to think of it, try out the rest, as well. Pssst... that's a new * Franz Ferdinand track sitting down there. ox surrender ox [...]

I thought that I'd like The Beep Seals when I heard that Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub had produced their debut album. I was right. It's easy to see why they asked Norman to be the producer, as the Manchester band are cut from a very similar West Coast-pop-and-harmonies-loving cloth as the Glasgow elder statesmen. They thought that Norman would be just the person to get the harmonies right, but according to the man himself in a recent interview, he reckoned that they had it all pretty much worked out and he spent more time in the pub [...]
Bonkers over Conkers Sorry not to have posted for a couple of days. Oh, you didn't notice? Phweww.`````` (simulated flicked sweatdrops) Today, a novel approach: I'm going to post some mp3s I've recently found and like. Maybe you will, too. (Post some mp3s, I mean.
