Why is it that I always find it so incredibly difficult to get anything going on Mondays? Be it work, be it blogging or be it even life in general. Probably caused by the waking up early, getting kids to school plus kindergarten, rushing to get to work on time and the general lack of excitement about work; somewhat amazing how it only takes two days to get used to not going to work, but at least three or four to get used to be back "in action" again. And by then it's almost weekend. A vicious cycle if there [...]

Warpaint - Elephants Love these chicks. I am really diggin' this band right now.
Το φθινόπωρο μπήκε για τα καλά, και μάλιστα απρόσμενα νωρίς. Μελαγχολία, νωθρότητα και διάθεση για.. απολύτως τίποτε. Το σημερινό τραγούδι με τίτλο Molehills από το δεύτερο άλμπουμ των Δανών The Elephants είναι απόλυτα χαρακτηριστικό του παραπάνω κλίματος.. Μελωδικό αλλά λίγο θλιμμένο, [μου] θυμίζει κάπως Doves , στο πιο υποτονικό τους, σα να βαριέται όμως να γίνει επικό.. Το άλμπουμ των ελεφάντων λέγεται Take It , κυκλοφόρησε στις 28/8 και στη σελίδα τους μπορείτε να κατεβάσετε τα τέσσερα από τα εννιά του τραγούδια. Τα άλλα τρία είναι σαφώς πιο ρυθμικά, το Molehills όμως είναι αυτό [...]
You may remember (I hope you do) the danish band the Elephants who put out a very fine debut album back in December of 2007. Yeah, I know that's a while ago in the music blog time continuum, but in the real world it's not all that long ago. The Danish band are back with album number two. It's called Take It! named probably for some back handed comment on how you don't buy music these days, you take it. Well, as far as I can tell their new album has yet [...]

The Elephants - "Turtle Struggles" Let's jump straight to the ending: Yes, there's nothing wrong with your mp3, it's supposed to end abruptly like that. This is not a case of a song continuing on into the next track, it is intended to build up to a thrilling climax and cut out. It's an interesting choice. The rest of the song seems very eager to please - the shuffling beat, the light harmonies, the cozy keyboard tones, the sweet guitar hooks - but that decision to deny a fully satisfying resolution retroactively changes the tone of the [...]

Aside from this official snippet and some other poor videos from their show in Chicago, we really haven't gotten a solid listen to what Them Crooked Vultures are actually going to sound like. The hard rock supergroup that features Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones and Queens of the Stone Age Members Josh Homme and Alain Johannes, has only played two shows up until now, the most recent one at the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium, which actually turned out some decent audio and footage. "Elephants" comes our way via Stereogum and I've provided another link to a full live version of [...]
Dopo De-Loused In The Comatorium dei Mars Volta passiamo ai White Stripes e al loro "Elephant". "Elephant" è il miglior disco dei White Stripes? Forse no, se la gioca con "White Blood Cells" (2001) ma anche con "De Stijl" (2000) volendo, ma come avevamo detto in partenza, in questa rubrica cerchiamo di parlare soprattutto di quei dischi che sono riusciti a mixare grande qualità e successo di pubblico. Per questo per quanto riguarda i White Stripes la scelta è ricaduta su "Elephant", largamente il loro album più venduto. Il [...]
Mellowdrone's latest Angry Bear is an album rich and thick with heavy lo-fi goodness. Bandmates Jonathan Bates on vox and bass, Tony DeMatteo on guitar and Brian Borg on drums have been going strong for about a decade with a few EPs and band member changes in between. Now with their second full-length, the trio has released their definitive album.
Don't let this little beauty pass you by, for even though you may at first believe it to be run of the mill it will, with care and attention, become something to warm those chilly summer evenings. As with most Scandinavians (Danish on this occasion) the Elephants sing as if they come from a land where English is the first language. Of course the giveaway is the fact that we all know that bands who come from lands where English is the first language are unable to produce indie as pristine as this. This time it's a boy called Bjarke [...]
This just made my day. Posted in Clip, Somethin' Diff Tagged: dog, elephant, love, story
Now I know this song is a little more mainstream than I usually post, but its an amazingly underrated track and needs to be shared. Coming from The White Stripes ' Grammy winning 2003 release Elephant , Black Math can be found on side one following the wildly successful Seven Nation Army . Receiving almost universal critical acclaim upon release, and topping many album of the year lists, Elephant landed itself on Rolling Stone 's prestigious 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, at position 390.

Meet Kentucky rockers Cage The Elephant . The band has made a video for their single "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" which was directed by D.A.R.Y.L. of Pulse Films (The Subways, Funeral For A Friend). The video invites viewers to their subversive, almost cartoonish reality, check it out: check out their myspace page.
The Baddazz Riddim is the latest dancehall creation from Christopher Birch. Some are claiming this riddim to be a re-work of the classic Joyride Riddim. Re-work or not, this is definitely a dancefloor smasher as the catchy upbeat bassline is just going to make you move, plain and simple. I put together a 10 minute riddim mix showcasing what I feel are the strongest artists on the riddim. Download the mp3 of the mix here--> BADAZZ RIDDIM MIX [2009] Tracklist after the jump 1 - [...]
Love More Than Music ( ) Heaven Shall Burn - Iconoclast (Part 1: The Final Resistance) There are 2 metal albums on my best of list this year, and this is one of them. I used to be a huge metal fan, but these days the bands that go for the simple Metal sound without delving into sub-genres and experimentation, well, they just sound boring, because it's all been done so often that it's lost all potential for inventiveness. Everyone once in a [...]
Why am I posting this video? Because I love Rachael Yamagata, and I love this song. Here's an astonishing rendition with excellent instrumental accompaniment. Mp3 Below. Rachael Yamagata - "Be Be Your Love" (from Happenstance ) Buy her latest album Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart here's an mp3: Rachael Yamagata - "Sidedish Friend"
Elephants... Teeth Sinking Into Heart came out a couple of weeks ago and I haven't listened to it muchly, even if I loved its predecessor Happenstance . Reasing being: I have problems with double-disc albums and I wasn't in a sullen girl mood. But, yesterday I was stuck in my netted bed trying to avoid malaria in Tanzania and reading another sumptuous rant on colonialism titled The State Of Africa by Martin Meredith. I have to say that it is rockier than the her other work, but equally tasty. It''s growing on me.
Pour ne pas troubler la quiétude de nos camarades éléphants roses réunis en congrès à Reims, nous avons préféré ne pas présenter de motion cha cha cha ce samedi. Par contre, c'est avec plaisir que nous vous présentons la motion dada rock'n'roll guerilla... clic triangle et pogo pogo twist rock'n'roll mambo comme vous voulez. La motion jaquette vous sera présentée d'ici la [...]
