The Austrian playwright and novelist Thomas Bernhard is one of the finest writers of this last century. He died in 1989. In many ways he is the ultimate outsider. I was first interested in Bernhard's work after someone gave me a copy of Frost . His work is complicated, but tremendously rewarding. I'm on a Bernhard message group so I can listen to people who actually know what they're talking about discuss Bernhard, and this essay by Mick McGovern, I felt, deserved a wider [...]
( 1 votes, average: 4 out of 5) Loading ... Di notte si fanno strani incontri. Stretto nell'arsura estiva di luglio, l'altra sera decido di bere una sana e rinfrescante birra ghiacciata insieme al solito manipolo di fedelissimi al seguito. Compro la suddetta bevanda ambrata e trovo un posticino sul muretto per sedermi. La folla di giovani è consistente e nella selva della piazzetta gironzolano indisturbati alcuni cani. Uno [...]
When I finish a run, I'm usually on an endorphin high (at least I always thought I was ). It lasts about an hour on a good day, maybe ten minutes on a not-so-good day. The other day was not so good, but in those precious moments when I felt lifted and inspired, I thought, Hey, I should put together a peppy, poppy mix to try to keep my spirits up. The other reason I'm doing this is because if I waited until I researched the bands and heard [...]
The Lodger is een trio uit Leeds, Engeland. Het debuutalbum van de groep heet Grown-Ups. Sommige nummers klinken wat gehaast, maar My Advice Is On Loan is een heerlijke gitaarpopsong. The Lodger - My Advice Is On Loan The Lodger op MySpace Subscribe in a reader

Leeds, England I dare you to try and sit still while listening to this one from The Lodger . Their full length is entitled Grown-Ups and it's full of sweet little ditties just like this one. "My Advice Is On Loan" The Lodger on MySpace The Lodger on The Hype Machine
I had to put this one up cos it's a Leeds band. The lodger are a smart indie band with more than a passing hint of Leeds favourites (who I have seen a couple of times recently and they are back to their best) The Wedding Present . Anyhow.. enjoy.

I think that as of late, I've become a bit more relaxed when it comes to reviewing music. Sure, I still like to think I know if stuff is pure crap or not, and there is alot of that out there. But, at times in the past, I think my quest to find music that was original and different has kept me away from some genuinely good albums. And more specifically, I think I have really been digging stuff of late that is well, just plain fun. A few bands that describe this lean in [...]
The Lodger . Yes, I know, this is why I am not a comedian, but come on, did you at least chuckle? Just a little? Ok. It's not often a band starts because they are encouraged by a label. Normally a band comes together and all but begs labels to give them a listen. Use that as incentive or not, but I'm telling you as a listener...The Lodger deserves some attention. They have new music with a classic sound. Their first single, "Many Thanks For Your Honest Opinion," definitely set high standards when [...]
Dizzee Rascal : Dizzee has been quite for a couple of years, save for a leaked track last year, but he's back with Maths & English , which is a return to form.

The Lodger The release of The Lodger's LP Grown-Ups not only marks the full-lenth debut from the Leeds-based indiepoppers, but it's also the first full-length record Slumberland has put out since the Aislers' How I Learned To Write Backwards back in 2003 -- almost four years ago! Needless to say, I'm pretty excited on both accounts! Grown-Ups is a super-solid record from start to finish, every track oozing with that great 80s-inspired jangle pop they've been perfecting for the past couple years. Now, Vocalist/Guitarist Ben [...]
Hoy nos desplazamos hasta Leeds, de donde son este trío compuesto por Ben (voz, guitarra), Joe (bajo) y Katie (batería). Aunque llevan actuando y publicando algunos singles desde el año 2004, ha sido hace nada, el 11 de junio cuando publicaban su disco de debut Grown-Ups ( Slumberland ). En este disco se incluyen un total de 14 canciones de las que podéis escuchar aquí las dos primeras para que os hagáis una idea de su sonido. Lo que uno se encuentra en las canciones de este grupo desde luego que no resulta especiamente novedoso, pop [...]
Svo virðist sem einhver vakning sé meðal poppara í norður englandi sem byggja á gömlum grunni sveita eins og The Smiths, The Wedding Present og The Buzzcocks. Flestir ef ekki allir þekkja Arctic Monkeys eða The Kaiser Chiefs en nú er röðin komin að The Lodger. Þeirra fyrsta smáskífa "Many Thanks For Your Honest Opinion" er hægt og rólega að vinna sig inn í vitund manna í netheimum og mun sjálfsagt ekki líða langur tími þangað til þeir verða á hvers manns vörum. Lagið er einstaklega grípandi og tilvalinn sumarsmellur. [MP3] The Lodger - Many Thanks For [...]

Here are a couple tracks off of the new release titled Grown-Ups . ::: The Lodger - Many Thanks For Your Honest Opinion ::: The Lodger - Kicking Sand ::: The Lodger - My Advice Is On Loan Cruise on over to [...]
