I Build Collapsible Mountains You might remember I posted a link to this mysterious band a month or so back, well now the secret is out of the bag (it's Luke from the Gothenburg Address's side project). He's back with a new song ' you shaped spaces ' and once again it's up for free download, as always I urge you to check it out. There are also talks of the two of us possibly putting something out together in future, yep he's that good. Bear Driver They might not be Scottish, [...]

It's very quiet at the Rescue Rooms when I arrive and most of tonight's two bands appear to be at the bar swelling the numbers. Eddie Argos is there in a Columbo style mac shaking a few hands but basically trying to keep his fan base bonding to a minimum. As some of his fans are scarier than even he is, he's probably wise to keep his distance. Support is from the peculiarly named Robocop Kraus and they look stereotypically German, so it's a relief to find at that is where they hail from. Although they sing [...]

We all have musical guilty pleasures. Mine happens to be cover songs. Yes, there are some absolutely awful cover tracks out there. But, every once in a while there is a total gem. So kick back and enjoy some time with your covers. Billy Bragg - That's Entertainment (The Jam cover) Rock Plaza Central - SexyBack (Justin Timberlake cover) The Strokes - Mercy Mercy Me (Marvin Gaye cover) The Arcade Fire - Maps (Yeah [...]
as I've told you in my last post, I decided to do the obligatory Top Albums of 2007 list, as usually every normal blogger does and I have to admit, it wasn't as easy as I thought. Now I've come up with 41 albums which I define as those records, that I've enjoyed the most in 2007. I do not claim, that the list is complete, but after several days of thinking, listening and rearranging, I've had
This week, the Broken Dial mp3 Mixtape features stylish, wonderful tunes from: Canadians, Cinemechanica, Elephant Parade, Elie Milano, Francis...

Finally a good example that Germany have more to offer than just Rammstein and heavy synthpop when it comes to music! The Robocop Kraus dived into the indie-ocean back in 1998, a sea that these days are almost overcrowded by similar bands. It's not until later years though, mainly after the release of their fourth album, "So They Think that They are the Robocop Kraus" (2005), a change in line up and adaption of a more experimental sound that the band managed to reach the surface. Their music is still energetic like before, but now more [...]
They think, the are the Robocop Kraus , dieses wahnsinnig hysterische, wahnsinnig eingängige und wahnsinnig tanzbare Vorgängerwerk hat jetzt schon einen Ehrenplatz im Musikolymp sicher. Das neue Werk, Blunders and mistakes , hat man, wohl auch dank des Erfolgs der letzten Platte u.a. in den USA produzieren dürfen. Aufregend. Herausgekommen ist dabei, ein, glaubt man den Rezensionen , noch poppigeres Stück Musik. In der Frischetheke der Bavarian Open Source gibt es ganze drei Stücke frisch abgepackte Robocop Kraus, bei Epitaph noch einen weiteren Song . Für wenn's mal [...]

A short top ten (all together) of songs that I ABSOLUTELY love that I feel like no one pays enough attention to. I am sure that I have posted most of these songs at least once before. Give them another listen. Trust me. Thanks. TPG. 1. 31knots - Welcome to Stop from The Curse of the Longest Day . 2. The Robocop Kraus - Shaking the High Towers from Tiger . 3. [...]
The Robocop Kraus haben einen neuen Bassisten und ihre Internetpräsenz bunter gemacht. Dort findet man nun auch die folgenden drei Downloads: The Robocop Kraus - After Laughter Comes Tears

Brian will be writing the review of last night's show, and I am sifting through the 150 pictures I took at the show. In a word, fanfuckingtastic. Here are some mp3s and videos of the opening acts who were both good in their own ways. The Robocop Kraus just came out and rocked. Every song had a hook you could sink your teeth into, and lead singer Thomas Lang was an arresting presence. mp3s from R5 Productions , who put on a great show. Props to Sean Agnew. All The Good [...]
