Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana contou com a participação de artistas e bandas bem queridas cá por mim. Algumas novidades apareceram como, por exemplo, mais um novo tema dos The Walkmen, "Heartbreaker" (ver texto) e o novo single lançado pela banda polaca Rebeka, "Stars" (ver texto). Em seguida,
Infadels, die band wist ons in 2006 behoorlijk bij de lurven te pakken met het alle kanten op stuiterende debuutalbum We Are Not The Infadels (Love Like Semtex! Can't Get Enough! Jagger '67!). Opvolger Universe In Reverse uit 2008 werd een moeilijker verhaal met een corrupte manager en daaruit voortkomende geldproblemen. En oja, de liedjes [...]
Ik had weleens van ze gehoord, maar schaarde ze in mijn hoofd in het hoekje van de serieuze rock. Geen idee waarom, waarschijnlijk door hun bandnaam. De naam deed me denken aan de Hives, de Vaccines en de Kaiser Chiefs. Gelukkig was hun promotor Jessica zo lief om me het laatste album, The Future Of The Gravity Boy , toe te sturen. Het album is lekker. Rock met een diep elektronisch sausje. Geproduceerd door Alex Metric is het een album met lekker stampende nummers die van stevige rock naar indie-electro schieten. Soms ontzettend dansbaar, dan weer wat [...]
The Infadels have just released their third studio album. We must concede we haven't listened to their first two. As you may well have realised our music knowledge only goes as far back as 2009 (shhh, don't tell anyone). Anyway the new album is great. It's a loud, noisey, in-your-face heady broth of indie and electro. It's so great it's not even on soundcloud (it's far too good for that). You can hear a minimix from the band below - it shows off a bit of the production from man of the moment Alex Metric, who produced the [...]
Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana que foi muito curta em termos musicais porque... o tempo foi efectivamente curto começou com a boa notícia do lançamento do álbum dos Housse de Racket, 'Alesia', e o tema escolhido para a celebração da notícia foi "Roman". Muito bom. De seguida, outro tema também bastante bom,
I was introduced to this little snippet of greatness by Chris over at MOBO who runs 'tings' at MOBO.com. SugaSmak is a new project brought to you by Nate James and Clyma of The Infadels fame. The video is some 80s crazy, lo fi, bedroom created madness - have a gander for a giggle.
De ietwat vreemd geplaatste leestekens in de titel van dit stukje doen terecht vermoeden dat het nog steeds elektronische muziek is wat de scepter zwaait in huize mrbungle (beloofd: komende maand weer meer folk-achtige muziek). Ditmaal twee acts van het befaamde label Warp Records dat getuige de huidige verzameling artiesten (onder andere Grizzly Bear , Jamie Lidell , Gonjasufi ) al lang niet meer gezien kan worden als een puur elektronica label. Het Australische PVT droeg eerder de naam Pivot totdat een enigszins labiele Amerikaanse band met een rechtszaak ging dreigen. [...]
It's been far too long since I've posted a mixtape. I don't know why I stopped posting mixtapes, but I do know that this seems to have coincided with my lack of mixtape making in 'the real world', a.k.a. life outside the internet. If I were to guess, it's because I'm way too OCD about them, and obsess over tracklists for so long that I never actually end up giving them to the intended parties. But I decided today that, come hell or high water, I was getting back on the horse! I've made summer mixtapes in the [...]
I've just got enough of my brain back to tap this out. The remains are resting in a field, in Cambridgeshire, with the dried out leftovers of the Secret Garden Party ... it may not have been much of a secret, but it was a great party! With intimate stages full of excellent music, I just have to have a little shout about the things I saw and heard last weekend. I was surprised me to find such good music where worthy headliners are deemed to be Marina and the Diamonds (eh!?). It turned out as one of the best festivals I've had the pleasure of dancing my [...]
On the one hand, Brighton is your stereotypical English seaside town: as many pubs as houses, a slew of awful fish and chip shops and a choice location for political party conferences. It has a mediocre football team without a stadium and its own rock (a form of impenetrably hard candy and whose namesake was the Graham Greene novel ). And yet, the very proposition that Brighton is anything other than a unique mecca for alternative lifestyles and south-coast joi de vivre is borderline sacrilege to its half-million inhabitants and several million annual visitors. In fact, [...]
NULLIFIER We bring a genuine element of surprise to today's recommendation. We recently went to see Bear In Heaven play at a gig last week and, to our surprise, Nullifier were supporting. We had heard whispers about this band late last year among the music circles, but we never investigated them and certainly hadn't seen them live. It was equally surprising and rather satisfying to find out they were from Brighton. However, the biggest surprise of all was found in their live set. Not only is the music punchy, [...]
If You Tolerate This Your Children's Blogs Will Be Next Phew, it's been quite a few days for the music blogging community. What happened? This week Google decided to take down (i.e. completely delete) a number of large and smaller music blogs hosted on the popular Blogger and Blogspot services. For supposed copyright infringement . While in the past, Blogger would simply delete the offending posts (if you've ever found a dead link to a post, that's usually the reason), they've now moved to deleting entire blogs . You can read the full story [...]

Right, most people in the UK will have seen this advert at some point. When i first seen the advert last December it was the song that caught my attention (like it was supposed to i guess). It's catchy and can i say "commercial" sounding without sounding too obvious? I honestly don't care much for TV (i prefer DVDs) or adverts either really i suppose but this one really jumped out at me. Anyways, my first impression was "Is that the Temper Trap? Maybe [...]
![[Mixtape] "Sweet dreams (Eurythmics)", Infadels](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2093632_lg.jpg)
Cover que saiu lá em Maio , desse ano, mas que cai bem hoje, quando começa a semana de aniversário do bar James . Mas, pra quem está mundo afora curtindo o feriado, um desejo de um final de noite e madrugada adentro repleto de curtição, numa boa. Entra na onda: Infadels - Sweet dreams (Eurythmics) [...]
What comes to mind when you think of 67? The number of throws in judo? "Jailhouse Rock?" (Rolling Stone calls it the 67th greatest song of all time.) The 67 seconds it took Elliot Spitzer to announce he was resigning from office? Your local mathematician will tell you that 67 is what's known as a lazy caterer's number, meaning it's part of the so-called lazy caterer sequence, which has to do with the number of pieces of a round object—say, a pizza—that can be made with a specific number of straight cuts. For example, if you make three straight cuts [...]
