The Bosshoss und die Delilahs live im Volkshaus - jetzt sprechen die Bilder. Alle Bilder von Tabea Hüberli.
the flamin groovies backed by the a-bones at the ponderosa stomp It's not the future anyone expected but it's still the one we live in—unbeatable rock 'n' roll label Norton (home of our favorite records and yours too, even if you don't know it yet) crept into modernity first with the digital issue of innumerable slaughtering [...]

Cover Lay Down is hardly a political blog; first and foremost, our mission is spread the gospel of good music, in the context of its culture and community. But it is no accident that folk music has a long history as an engine of social justice and change. By its very nature, folk assumes that music is not merely inseparable from its culture, but that it speaks to and for its culture. My own tendencies towards progressive social values, from pro-feminist parenting to the importance of preserving equity in community [...]
The laziness continues here at RobotSound. Instead of looking towards the future we've had our heads stuck firmly in the past. Today's offering is yet another post focusing on a perennial favorite that a slew of artists have performed over the years. The original, Elton Montello's 1977 gay punk anthem, Jet Boy Jet Girl , is about a 15-year-old boy's sexual relationship with another guy, who then rejects him for a girl. Plastic Bertrand re-recorded the song as Ca Plane Pour Moi with Motello's musicians, changed the lyrics (which were deemed too controversial at the time), and turned it [...]
DEAD LEAF ECHO-"Pale Fire" New York's Dead Leaf Echo aren't the easiest band to classify, which isn't a bad thing. The swirling "Warm Body" has all the gritty atmosphere of The Gutter Twins, but title track "Pale Fire" (mixed by Ulrich Schnauss) is downright shoegazey. "Cry the Sea" is '80s Euroangst, though, recalling Joy [...]
Toxic is one of the greatest hits of the tabloid-most-wanted Britney Spears. Written by Bloodshy & Avant, Cathy Dennis, and Henrik Jonback for her 4th album In the Zone, the hit was recorded by several artists in different music styles. I like this music so much, but I think the Mark Ronson version kicks [...]

After listening to Thee Headcoatees' cover of Plastic Bertrand 's smash Ça Plane Pour Moi I thought: did more girls cover this? Yes, they did. Take leatherclad Swiss girlband Tears. Or pophiphop-star Leila K. Or German rockers Paula (ofcourse, we know leadsinger Elke Brauweiler from her solo-project). But the boys are present too, as are a bunch of pinguins. If you check Allmusic.com , you'll find even more versions (anybody has the versions by Aluminum Babe? Annie Dufresne? Or the Spanish version by Manic Hispanic?). Bring 'm on! I will play a few no doubt this Saturday @ [...]

Fag Beasts & Bloody Flags, 2007, Digital Art as Giclee Print, 153x203. The energy/impetus for this piece comes courtesy of the Westboro Baptist Church camp. If you can stomach it, you can watch the video here . Warren Ellis offers these thoughts: I'm fairly sure all the people on screen are related to each other. If you can stomach it, the last twenty seconds are as close to pure evil as I've seen today. I'm apt to agree. [...]
The inspiration for today's post comes from one of those lame "use your shuffle play to create a soundtrack for your life" memes. So, I took the first 18 covers to hit my shuffle play and plugged them in as appropriately as I could. Or something. I quite frequently use my shuffle play to decide my posts, so it's not really that exciting. Enjoy! Opening Credits: "These Boots Were Made for Walking" - Little Jimmy Dempsey (Nancy Sinatra cover) [...]
