I started thinking of a few things that I underestimate as we enter my favorite time of the year. Daylight Savings time comes to mind. The extra hours of daylight is the best part of the year. Jeff Goldblum in a supporting role, hugely underestimated. I just watched "the Switch," with him, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston. The movie would've sank impressively had it not been for him. Brandon Davies from BYU. I'm almost certain that they underestimated the team without him. BYU would've advanced had it not been for his suspension. Jimmer was out there playing [...]

Pünktlich zur Zeugnisausgabe bin ich dann doch wieder an Bord. Ich sehe das Musikjahr ein wenig positiver als Ric, wenn auch mit einem leicht negativen Beigeschmack: Denn im Grunde ist es hinfällig, wie viele großartige Songs das vergangene Jahr hervorgespült hat, man wird es immer mit Lena Meyer-Landruts Siegersong „Satellite" beim Eurovision Song-Contest in Verbindung bringen. Alben des Jahres 1. The Soft Pack – The Soft Pack Ich nutze lastfm hauptsächlich dazu, die Profile der hippen Amerikaner nach neuen [...]

Most musical acts would clamor for the steadily growing platform and buzz enjoyed by the five members of The Domino State . After varied publications labeled the band as breakout candidates in both 2008 and 2009, the Londoners opened for Coldplay at the O2 and toured with M83 and Longview. Now they finally release their debut, Uneasy Lies The Crown , this month on Rough Trade. The question before us is whether or not The Domino State warranted such hype. After early singles like 'Iron Mask' paved a certain post-punk way, the 11 songs (and intro [...]

Wer auch immer das so geplant haben mag, aber heute gibt es gleich drei Konzerte und Partys aus dem Shoegazebereich in Hamburg, teilweise leider mit Überschneidungen. Den Auftakt machen die abgedrehten Schotten von The Twilight Sad um 21 Uhr im Molotow auf der Reeperbahn. Dann gibt es die Neuauflage des tollen neuen Shoegazeallnighters Feedback Fever im Grünen Jäger, ab 21 Uhr. Diesmal live dabei Lothar und die famosen Sad Day for Puppets (quasi die weibliche Reinkarnation der Jesus & Mary Chain) aus Schweden. Anschließend legen die Spitzen-DJs der [...]

4 down, 22 more to go. I'm trying to keep these as diverse as I can without just posting every single indie/alternative/singer-songw riter/etc. I have in iTunes. Short on words, long on tuneage. There's writing and reading to get done for class.

Vielleicht sollte man analog zum Schrammelop der 80er, dem sog. C86, auch AC30 als neue Musikbezeichnung einführen. Denn das, was der Londoner Indie-/Shoegaze- Club AC30 auf seinem eigenen Label alles heraus bringt, ist wirklich von beeindruckender Qualität und stammt in der Regel aus dem Wave- & Shoegaze-Bereich. Die vorigen Veröffentlichungen - Pris_ und Wry - wussten schon sehr zu begeistern, und die neueste im Bunde, The Domino State , steht dem in nichts nach. Die Band stammt ebenfalls aus London und nannte sich früher At The Lake - damals machte man bereits [...]
