wdr.de: "Vor dem Hintergrund der Erdbeben-, Tsunami- und Reaktorkatastrophe von Fukushima wirken populäre japanische Monsterfilme wie "Godzilla - die Rückkehr des Monsters" nahezu prophetisch. All die in den Nachrichten dokumentierten Schreckensszenarien wurden im Film längst vorweggenommen und durchlebt." Weiter Der WDR bietet das Hörspiel befristet zum kostenlosen Download an: Jörg Buttgereit - Die Bestie von Fukushima Einige seiner Hörspiele finden sich auch auf Youtube. Siehe hier . Letzte Woche wurde ein weiteres Hörspiel von Jörg Buttgereit gepostet: Jörg Buttgereit - Frankenstein In Hiroshima
![Various Artists: Wish I'd Kept A Scrapbook (A Tribute to Tullycraft) [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2671737_lg.jpg)
When I saw there was a new compilation devoted to hailing one of the greatest northwest bands of all time (yes, Tullycraft ), I got pretty excited. When I saw that the tracklist included bands from famed labels like Tullycraft's very own Magic Marker Records, as well as HHBTM, Matinee, and even recent favorite weePOP, my excitement blew through the roof. Look down the track list (it's at the end of this review... I'll forgive you for pausing to check it out) and you'll see some of the greatest indie pop and modern [...]
Happy New Year Everyone! Here is my top 10 list (in no particular order): 1) Kati O'Toole - On Ashland (Snow Ghost Music) 2) Sunn O))) - Monoliths & Dimensions (Southern Lord) 3) White Wizzard - High Speed GTO (Earache) 4) Red Collar - Pilgrim (Self-Released) 5) The Besties - Home Free (Hugpatch) 6) Oceano - Depths (Earache) 7) Evergreen Terrace - Almost Home (Metal Blade) 8) Mystery of Two - That's The World [...]
I realize that I post a lot of news and finds on my twitter @eardrums that never gets published on the blog. I'll try to post some of it here and also some of the stuff I get in my mailbox that I never manage to do something about. I'm hopeless with continuity, but I will at least try to do this weekly. Let's start with some "VERY SHORTIES" and below this, you will find a lot of free goodies: [...]
I used to love Casey Kasem. Somehow he managed to make listening to crappy top 40 songs, seem fun and exciting. Long distance dedications? Yes, please. We used to post a monthly roundup of our favorite music from the previous month. The problem is that we've been getting overwhelmed. Between the promos that labels have started sending us (sorry, I refuse to suck up to this Vampire Weekend side-project. Are we the only ones that find this even more boring than listening to A-Punk for the zillionth time?), and the demos random bands [...]

The Besties es un grupo de Brooklyn, Nueva York, formado por Kelly Waldrop (teclados, voz), Marisa Bergquist (teclados, voces), Richard Francis Walsh IV (guitarra, voces) y Frank Korn (batería). Realizan un indie-pop delicado y juguetón, en la onda de bandas como The Icicles o The Shermans, sin excesivas pretensiones, pero muy agradable de escuchar. Comenzaron su andadura musical en el año 2005 con la grabación de su primer ep "The Besties", con el que consiguieron llamar la atención del sello discográfico Skipping Stones Records, con los que fichan y publican su álbum [...]

May The Fourth Be With You Mix If I had to pick my kingdom of Nerdom when it comes to space, I'd have to go with Star Wars. Yes, Star Trek has it's perks - namely, Shatner. But Star Wars manages to keep my attention much, much longer. There's the true awesomeness of a lightsaber - don't deny it. The endless wisdom of a genius with horrible grammar like Yoda. The weirdness of a worm like Jabba the Hut. Star Wars just arouses the nerd in me. So in honor of today, Star Wars [...]
Day 5 in Austin was March 21, 2009. The morning began with a ride to the northern part of the eastern town, where five members of Balmorhea , an instrumental six-piece from Austin, were waiting to play a few songs for our video series, Secret Garden . We headed downtown and went to Red Eyed Fly to catch Harlem Shakes . This band's got a ton of good things going, but I'm still not sold on the lead voice. I remember [...]

![[PTGEAIYGTSBWLAEIYWG Mix - Part 1]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1597976_lg.jpg)
The People to Get Excited About if You're Going to SXSW But Would Like Anyway Even if You Weren't Going Mix You're probably wondering what the hell all those letters mean. Kicking off my South By Southwest coverage this year is a massive mix for a massive fest. There's been quite a bit of material I could have covered before the fest officially goes down, and the operative phrase there is "could have." Undoubtedly, it's a gargantuan amount, and the time I've had lately has been minuscule...and I've been lazy. When situations [...]
♥ pic ♥ As you probably read in the last post, my beloved fellow co-blogger (also known as Steven in this thing called "the real world" or something) is now in Spain. And so I'll take advantage of this opportunity to make a little tribute of my own to this sunny sunny country which we love.. The reasons I've never posted any songs in Spanish are pretty self-evident: according to Statcounter, only 5.40% of our visitors are from Spain. And some Latin-American countries are at about 1%. But [...]
![The Besties: What Would Tim Armstrong Do? [pReview]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1559729_lg.jpg)
I'll probably have a nice little package in the mail when I get home tomorrow (actually today, if you're reading this the day it was published) with these guys in it, but I cannot wait to get this song out there. It's "What Would Tim Armstrong Do?" by The Besties . And while I do not know a Tim Armstrong, I do know that this song is damn catchy. It's packed with a massive pop sound that's borderline twee. It's a perfect jump-around-on-the-bed type of song. It's got [...]
Be prepared to meet your new favorite band. The Besties are Brooklyn's newest export have just released a brilliant new record. "What Would Tim Armstrong Do?" is a track lifted from the new album. On the bands myspace they have a quote which is dead on from "TimeOut Chicago says we sound like the Go-Go's on Epitaph Records." I could not come up with anything better than that. The second that "WWTAD" starts up the track is instantly familiar and comforting. The quirky vocals combined with the punk sentiments are something that I could leave on repeat for hours. I [...]
Shit I don't know, I don't even know who Tim Amstrong is... what I do know is that "What Would Tim Armstrong Do?" is a song from Florida-Brooklyn transplants, The Besties. The band is giving the song for FREE to celebrate the release of their sophomore album, Home Free , out now on Hugpatch Records . "What Would Tim Armstrong Do?" | download Catchy 60's girl-group pop with a DIY-punk influence, the concept of being "Home Free" is a literal one, as [...]

![[MP3] Nýtt og væntanlegt frá Íslandsvinum](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1440139_lg.jpg)
Íslandsvinurinn Tim Ten Yen var að gefa út fyrstu breiðskífu sína. Everything beautiful reminds me of you heitir gripurinn og er nú loksins fáanlegur hér á klakanum. Marga rak í rogastans og urðu að sætta sig við að versla barmmerki og boli, þegar drengurinn spilaði hér á landi um jólin 2007 án þess að hafa með sér útgefið efni. En nú er semsagt breiðskífan komin út og er alveg stútfull af eðal poppi. Hlustum á eitt gamalt MP3 til glöggvunar. [MP3] Tim Ten Yen - Move with the Wildpalms [...]
Ein Wiederhören mit The Besties , die ich euch ja schon 2007 vorstellen durfte. Home Free ist jetzt weniger Twee und dafür mehr Pop. Oder Americana-Pop. Ach, wie es euch gefällt. Aus dem Kopierwerk, frisch zu euch auf den Tisch: [mp3] The Besties / Right band, wrong song [...]
