And what, you might ask, is a Stinky Liberace? Well I will tell you. It comes from a strange and strangely detailed dream I had last night, which I will try and explain in the sanest way possible. Myself and a random other person were monitoring someone's internet usage for some unspecified reason or other. We noted that the pages were flicking by so fast that it was probable that they were just scrolling through but not actually reading anything. Then, for the briefest second, another page popped up and then vanished again. 'Oh,' I thought [...]
Ya les habíamos contado que Markus Acher (The Notwist), Doseone (Subtle) y compañía estaban tramando un nuevo álbum.

Para aminorar la espera, las diez canciones que componen el nuevo trabajo de 13 & God ya pueden escucharse en línea aquí . Haz click acá para ver el video
The Notwist - Pilot This is one of the first songs that got me into the idea of mixing live instruments and electronics. They do it really minimalistic and simple, and it sounds so good. I was 12 when this album came out. I wish I would have been rocking this back then. Official Website [ ♫ | Download ]
MUSIC REVIEW: Ambient music for movies about ghosts and televisions that could eat you. Lowland's The Void samples some tv, has some meandering guitar and low beats. I picture a pretty desolated cityscape with dim lights and nobody on the streets then the people are there suddenly; translucently floating by you. They are really just people's left over auras from years gone by. Impressions in your imagination from the back of your eye socket. Then they are gone again like a blip or a blue screen of death (oh the bitter irony in this statement) [...]
Peanut's Playground is my bi-weekly verbal diarrhea. Every other Wednesday I plan to ramble about stuff I like (in my typically screwed up version of English) and hope you will like too. And in case you don't... mweh . Number 12 in my series of Forgotten Classics: Neon Golden by The Notwist (2002) It was way back in 2002 that Neon Golden by the Germans of The Notwist was named Album Of The Year [...]
Ci sono strani incontri musicali fra genere che anche se sembrano assurdi, perché magari mischiano generi molto distanti fra loro, funzionano alla perfezione. Uno di questi incontri è quello che ha portato alla nascita dei 13 & God : il progetto musicale che riunisce parti della band tedesca The Notwist assieme ai combo hip hop Themselves e Subtle . L'esperienza ha già dato i frutti con un primo disco, omonimo uscito nel 2005, in cui si fondeva l'algida indietronica della band tedesca e l'hip hop sperimentale dei collettivi californiani. Ora a diversi [...]
Maybe it's the impending SF snow but we've never had a Friday Five with so many white LP covers. Even if the TVOTR shot isn't the final cover, I'm caught up in snow mania. Here's a bunch of tunes to add to your winter shopping list. Enjoy thoroughly. TV On The Radio "Will Do" from Nine Types of Light The Lilies "We Want To Live" from We Are The Lilies 13 & God "Old Age" from [...]

13 & God — Old Age What the hell happened to The Notwist ? Was it the mediocre Neon Golden follow-up? Was it the vaguely unpronounceable name? How did the guys who brought us "Pick Up the Phone" just up and vanish? In any case, we've still got 13 & God (The Notwist x Themselves ), who've got a new album dropping on Anticon - enjoy a fresh track above. [ mp3 ] [...]
17 de Mayo es la fecha tentativa para que salga a la venta Own Your Ghost (Anticon, 2011), el disco que traerá de regreso, luego de 6 años, a 13 & God , la superbanda formada por miembros Themselves, Subtle y The Notwist. Grabado por partes iguales en Alemania y Oakland, el tracklist de Own Your Ghost, según lo ventilado por el tenedor , sería el siguiente: 01 Its Own Sun 02 Death Major 03 Armored Scarves 04 Janu Are [...]
I owe the Notwist an apology. Every year or so, I (re)discover their music, and then lose it all over again. This year'll be different, guys. I promise. A German indie rock band formed in 1989, the band has made some pretty dramatic changes to their musical style, while keeping pretty much the same lineup. Their early music moved through heavy metal and dark indie rock, with their more recent (and most popular) being electronica-influenced. From 20022s "Neon Golden", I offer up "Consequence". (Re)brought to my attention by a [...]
Fake Baby - Bad Veins Fake Baby - Bad Veins ( Buy ) Conflicted, I write this review of the Outliers EP from Bad Veins . After seeing this Cincinnati band open up for Frightened Rabbit , I've been following their ascending journey. Currently, they're on tour with Thrice , catering to thousands of screaming fans of varying ages. Because of this pairing, they are, without a doubt, garnering praise from fans of multiple genres. Here lie my mixed feelings of admiration and frustration with Bad Veins . At [...]
Will Wiesenfeld, known as Baths, writes electronic music that continuously seems to be on the verge of falling apart. I've heard it called "glitch" pop, and the name is quite fitting. The music is unsettling; it sets you on edge. Electronic music isn't exactly supposed to be uncertain; the genre's precise repetition rarely skips a beat, if you will. But here we are listening to Baths' debut album Cerulean, our heartbeats raised by the anxiety of the music. It's the aural equivalent of watching a stilts walking clown meander his way through a crowded plaza. And [...]

Die vollständige wirkung eines neuen gisbert zu knyphausen-albums entfaltet sich erst dann, wenn man die dazugehörigen songs zum ersten mal live gehört hat. Das durfte ich in überwältigender art und weise am vergangenen Freitag im wiesbadener schlachthof erfahren. Um die 1000 zuhörer fanden sich zur kollektiven gänsehaut ein. Manche von ihnen kennen gisbert, seit er ein kleiner junge war. Manche sind vielleicht gerade erst jetzt durch die fast schon unheimliche mediale gisbert zu knyphausen-manie auf ihn aufmerksam geworden. Manche hatten sich einfach eingefunden, um traumhaft schöne lieblingslieder wie „erwischt" oder „sommertag" laut mitzusingen. [...]
What better way to kick off your Friday Saturday Sunday than with a selection of the best tracks from the It All Started archives? If I'm honest though, this is really just an excuse for me to repost all those tracks that I love and that you may have missed the first time round. It's high quality stuff, and there'll be more this time next week. Enjoy! Fight Test - The Flaming Lips Black [...]
El director Hans-Christian Schmid invitó al grupo alemán para que ambientara musicalmente Storm , su última película. El film fue bien recibido, resultando tres veces premiado el viernes pasado durante la edición número 30 de los German Film Awards . Uno de esos premios, fue recibido por The Notwist como Mejor Banda Sonora Original. No es primera vez que The Notwist trabaja en la composición de una banda sonora. Ya lo habían hecho el 2003 para ambientar Lichter , dirigida por el mismo Hans-Christian Schmid. [...]
Vor ein paar Wochen stellte ich euch ja Missent to Denmark vor, eine Band, die vor eineinhalb Jahren mal in meinem Blickfeld auftauchte, von dort aber schnell wieder verschwand. Am Freitag erscheint nun ihr wunderbar gestaltetes zweites Album I am your son . Missent to Denmark stammen aus Deggendorf. Das ist zwar gut 200 Kilometer von Weilheim entfernt, der Sound der Band ist dem von The Notwist und co. aber wesentlich näher. Auch wenn es ein paar fröhlichere Songs gibt ( Once a year zum [...]
>> Long-time readers will be aware of our great love for the wildy under-appreciated indie rock act Haywood . Our boundless affinity for the defunct Brooklyn-via-Philly-via-St. David's/Villanova/South Devon/Wherever Ariel Lived quartet is perhaps rivaled only by that we have for Johnny Foreigner . And so it was an unexpected collision of worlds when we saw that the one-show-only supergroup Kannberg 1664 , which features at least one member of Birmingham, England-based indie titans Johnny Foreigner , will share the bill at an upcoming Pavement tribute show in London with a Madrid-based band called [...]
