Having had a reaction due to the ingestion of a certain plant-based substance, I once rampaged my way through several boxes of crackers, leading my housemates to dub me "Cracker Vacuum." (it was later translated into Chinese as the far more sonically palatable Bin Gone Kon). Munchies-inspired nicknames aside, crackers are delightful and the addition of cheese was a great moment in humankind. My enjoyment of this combination has been tempered of late by my concern that – based on knowledge gleaned from numerous viewings of Blade Runner – I might be a [...]
05 I generally enjoy covers that are unexpected; covers that sound nothing like the original. This is not any of those things, but as I was setting out to make a list of covers to post, this kept coming to mind. I suppose it's a bit of a guilty pleasure: The Cure covering Joy Division. Two of the dreary, British bands I lived on in high school. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is probably one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. I can't imagine not hearing it and feeling a twinge [...]
The Twilight Sad tomó por asalto el mundo de la música en 2007 con el lanzamiento de su primera producción, Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters , un álbum que mostraba las fortalezas de un sonido único inmerso en los géneros del shoegaze y el rock, alimentado por el fuerte acento, las letras oscuras y vocalizaciones profundas de James Graham . El cuarteto también ganó fama por sus ruidosas presentaciones en vivo, una cualidad que por cierto comparten con otras agrupaciones escocesas como Mogwai, de quienes se han pronunciado grandes admiradores y con quienes [...]
Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: "Like a Virgin" by Madonna (from [...]
Having played festivals all over the world since releasing their first album Origins in 2006, The Horrors should be ready to rock this year's two weekends at Coachella. Their tour with Florence + The Machine this spring should spark a few new fans as well. Sounding like Depeche Mode and looking like The Cure, the boys in this English band were not even out of the womb when those bands were formed! Not to be confused with any small-town USA metal bands, The Horrors have been [...]
"I know you think I'm morbid when I say / I hope you die by my side / The two of us at the exact same time." The lyric above is from Stockholm artist Molly Nilsson's song "I Hope You Die," and while it may read like melodramatic Rome and Juliet- inspired high school scribblings, over washes of synthesizers, punches of keyboard, and a hip-loosening snap of snare, it becomes a Cure-quality fix of potent goth-styled pop music: introspective, occasionally lyrically dreary, and an absolute blast to pump over the stereo. Nilsson's atmospheric and [...]
When I saw Grimes open for Austra last year, I saw a meek DIY artsy girl dressed in a grungy t-shirt and dark tights wail into a microphone while expertly mixing complex tracks to produce a seriously rhythmic dance spell. Now, as 2012 has unraveled before us, Claire Boucher, the Montreal-based mastermind behind Grimes, has become the "it girl" of the indie music blogosphere. Much more than just a buzz band, Grimes has sky-rocketed in popularity thanks to the success of her previous albums ( Geidi Primes , Halafaxa , Darkbloom ) as well as her signing [...]

And not just any cats, those two fuckwits in the picture up there. Yep, Mrs. Toad managed to keep her despair at the loss of Floyd under control for just about six months before she decided that not just one cat, but TWO fucking cats was the answer. I think the idea is that because I work from home they will keep themselves entertained and not pester me the whole fucking time, but I honestly think this is ambitious. I think they are going to be climbing all over the keyboard all the time and making a right [...]

Hallo meneer Robert Smith, welkom in dit interview. Het is mij een waar genoegen. Dat is volkomen wederzijds. Ik vind het altijd leuk om hier te zijn, Harm. Mag ik trouwens Harm zeggen? Ja hoor, dat mag. Gelukkig, dat praat namelijk een stuk makkelijker. Grappig haar heb je trouwens. Meneer Smith... Zeg maar Robert Smith [...]
