Dünyada ezelden beri gelen mutsuzluk öğelerine takılıp kalarak, birbiri ardına yuvarlanan seneleri uç uca ekleyerek ve geçip giden zamanın ruhta yarattığı boşluk duygusunu içimize sinim sinim sindirerekten geçirdiğimiz şu günlerde global ümitsiz insanlar yığınının liste telaşlarından muzdarip olma görevini gururla yerine getiriyorum- bıdıbıdı. Bu sene ilerleyen yaşlara mı bağlarsınız, ya da hayatın esa(n)slı bir şekilde boktanlaşmasına bilmem ama yeni pop'umuz indie de iyice kusmuk tadı verdi, magazin ağzıyla indie out. Büyük çoğunluk hesaplı öze dönüşlere sarıldık zaman zaman , ya da çağının ileri-gerisinden kenar mahalle avangardı babında "beni anlamıyorlar mi amor" tıngırtılarını dinlendik gene, bütün sene çen çen [...]
I forgot to post one other video yesterday. Here's drunk Katie smacking herself in the face with a full glass of whiskey and Coke. A few minutes later, I smacked myself in the teeth with the same glass. If you needed any more evidence of how plastered we were, look no further than this video . My last day at home was mostly boring, then largely entertaining, then a little depressing. I will now recount the events of the day for your in the manner with which I am most comfortable: another stupid blog post. By the [...]

El festival de invierno organizado por los chicos de All Tomorrows Parties tendrá como protagonistas invitados a Mike Patton y a los Melvins en pleno. Tal organización ha dado lugar a un cartel vitamínico que da realmente pavor. Además de los propios Melvins y Patton al cargo de Fantomâs interpretando su fantástico The Director's Cut * -proyecto en el que también toca Buzz Osbourne de los Melvins-, podremos ver a grupos como Butthole Surfers , The Dirtbombs , The Damned , Meat Puppets [...]
Calico Horse Genre: Indie / Experimental / Psychedelic From: San Diego, California United States I choked on my cornflakes when I read on the My Old Kentucky Home that Calico Horse, the band formerly known as The Clock Work Army , are "what [...]
A great hit from Amore del Tropico from this San Diego band, the Black Heart Procession... Would be a great song for a soundtrack, don't you think?? the Black Heart Procession - Did you Wonder?
Well, I just about barfed when I read a one-sheet describing Calico Horse as " what Radiohead would be like with a female at the helm ", but I swallowed it and listened anyway. The bands don't often write those things, so you just hope an intern, or worse yet a blogger, did it and either pass or pop it in. The group, formerly known as The Clock Work Army , will release a new album this year - under this new Calico Horse moniker. The [...]

We're getting off to a slow crawl for metal shows in the upstarts of 2008, but that's made way for some non-metal maniacs to grace LA's stages. The Black Heart Procession will be providing the soundtrack to your depression over at Spaceland on Friday. Or maybe you want to throw on your gym shorts and posi-core attitude and help Bane toast the new year (with O'Doul's of course) at the hot and humid Chain Reaction. Also, if you are looking for a truly absurd and amazing experience, go check [...]
Holy crap, it's Friday again!? Hey, no complaints here - because I get to recommend another five songs. MP3: The Black Heart Procession - "Blue Tears" MP3: Kevin Drew - "Lucky Ones" MP3: The Wombats - "Moving To New York" MP3: Beirut - "A Sunday Smile" [...]

(photo by ME, while driving, click to see bigger) So last night, I had some weird dream that I met the Black Keys at some old woman's house, who just happened to be a PR woman. I can't explain more cause it would make me seem insane. But here are some bands who have BLACK in the name. Why? Stop questioning and just listen. After doing this, I can't believe how many bands have BLACK in their name. Ill even post more up tomorrow or Monday. (I [...]
Pleasure Forever Genre: Psychedelic From: Los Angele, California, United States 'Bodies Need Rest' is a collection of unreleased and rare Pleasure Forever recordings. The San Francisco based trio released two albums on Sub Pop -- a self-titled disc in 2001 and Alter in 2003 -- [...]
Label anthologies such as Slaying Since 1996 have many purposes, but the two that hold the most water are fairly simple. Because labels are in the business of releasing slices of musical history, anthologies serve as primers to the moments and musicians they captured. And as most labels with anthologies started before the .mp3 obliterated the way we consume music, oftentimes their early releases only exist as dusty stacks of wax on a shelf; the anthology brings these to listeners on both sides of the turntable. This Suicide Squeeze Records two-disc compilation covers nearly all of the wide [...]
Well well, it's been quite a while since the last sign of life from neus.org. I'd hereby like to thank the ones who didn't mind the gap and kept reading the same old posts over and over. You know who you are! On the above photograph you see the gloriously run-down "Es Grimalt", one of those motels that instantly evoke The Noir. Musically, The Black Heart Procession pretty much do the same for me, and I'll give you my number one favorite song of this mischievous collective, going by the name "Tropics Of Love". Damn it's creepy, but [...]
mp3: Broken World Dear Black Heart Procession, This weekend I spent a few days in the state of Utah, specifically in the city of Salt Lake. I enjoy visiting there. It reminds me that the last 5 years, though mighty turbulent at times, really hasn't been all that bad. Even though I love Seattle and living here has been something I always knew i wanted to do, sometimes I think I might have jumped the gun and left Utah just a little early. I can't fix that now. I'm happy [...]
With the white sands of Zanzibar calling me away for my summer holiday I have prepared a few tracks that are helping me through the last few days in Jozi. It's all pretty fresh, mostly chilled and just what I need to get into the holiday mode. Enjoy. Listen: Beach House – Apple Orchard Camera Obscura – The False Contender Califone – [...]
Daydreams of Patagonia , red meat and the beautiful rhythms of incomprehensible Spanish; the only thing stopping me from wishing that this year would end however, is the knowledge that there'll be another one starting in it's place. Listen: AC Newman – Drink To Me Babe Then Camera Obscura – Tears For Affairs The Black Heart Procession – The Replacement [...]
The Black Heart Procession. The band would be fitting in a Bond, Moulin Rouge, or Kill Bill soundtrack. James completely flooring a bimbo at some lavish ball, dancing prostitutes being serenaded by buff men wearing eyeliner, Uma Thurman driving her convertible through a winding canyon... Yes, The Black Heart Procession would be appropriate in any of these movies. Their sound is dramatic, with a slew of instruments, including, but not exclusive to, the standard drum kit, guitar, bass, and keyboard, in addition to electronic samplers, the violin, the standup bass, and the saw (oh [...]
Two weeks ago I dedicated an entire radio show to Merge Records . This week (August 29, 2006) I dedicated the show to Touch and Go who are celebrating their 25th anniversary with a three day festival starting Friday September 8th in Chicago.
