Jesse Smith and Aaron Sternick have been making music together for years and under their latest moniker, Welcome Center , they've put together an EP called Different Joys comprised of five lo-fi rock tunes filled with dance grooves, fuzzy guitars, and miles and miles of heart. Listening through you'll hear pieces of early Modest Mouse, a touch of Desaparecidos, a bit of Clap Your Hand Say Yeah, and a slew of other sounds that are maddeningly familiar, but there's only so many names that can be dropped before admitting that while the group's [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-30T16:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4923607/the-ropes-neues-album-und-neues-video/
The Ropes aus New York hab ich hier schon des fteren gewrdigt, bieten sie doch seit den ersten Singles ihre Musik komplett kostenfrei im Internet an. Bestndig auch, da es zum Duo Sharon Shy (Gesang, Bass) und Multi-Instrumentalist Toppy kaum Infos gibt. Gegrndet wurde die Band 2005, wurde 2008 zum Duo, hatte bis 2007 bei Warner/Rykodisc einen Vertrag und tourten viel in den USA und UK mit Bands wie The Used, Innerpartysystem, The Matches und The Bravery. Das aktuelle Album "Post-Entertainment" erschien im Februar 2013 und jetzt gibts zum Song "Black All Day, Bright All [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-22T17:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4907835/maison-kitsuns-rope-style-fabric/
A never seen glimmering material came to light on two raffined pieces of theMaison Kitsun Spring-Summer 2013 collection for women. This rope style fabric is a braided mix of cotton, in a beaming midnight blue, that magnifies the garments to which it belongs. A one-off creation, proper to Maison Kitsun house, that anchors in its [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-11T18:08:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4826357/kitsun-maison-en-vrai-march-27th-d-e-n/
Our waddling darling and hip hop diva D E N A just thrown a new video for her cool track "Thin Rope" and it'shighly teasing us for her upcoming show in Paris, atKitsun Maison En Vrai #12!

They make for an obdurate couple, do The Ropes : they claim to hail from Antarctica's Halley Research Station, whilst the standout from their newly released 'pay what you like' Post-entertainment LP is entitled Hey Faggot. And though the beyond unorthodox boy/ girl duo haven't baptised it thus in corroboration of a reticent homophobia or anything, it makes for an irrefutably traumatised listen a little like the Gainsbourg weird-out Charlotte For Ever had Serge a predilection for sordidly incestuous ulterior motives and such. Instead, the overriding message of Hey Faggot is that [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-19T03:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4728766/you-say-im-nothing-im-not/

A Monday without work is like a Christmas without the fighting so to celebrate we've decided to clear the decks of our in-transit basket a purgatory of sorts for songs that are too good to guillotine but missing a vital ingredient to ensure a post of their own. Chances are you'll find something lip-smacking enough to see you through the incessant march towards a crueller Tuesday than normal.

Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Rope is the post-punk outfit of Jesse Hagon (vocals), Mike Browning (guitar), Sam Richardson (bass), Matt Evans (drums), and Paul Teravskis (synths, keys). Their gloom-laced songs incorporate the brooding bass lines, spiky guitar riffs, and aggressive percussion parts found on records by Killing Joke , Bauhaus , The Sound , The Sisters Of Mercy , and The Chameleons , while the layers of lush synths bring to mind Roger O'Donnell and The Cure .

There is a craze that long ago began taking this nation by storm and finally made its way to the Tampa area. The craze? Drive thrus. These aren't your mom and dad's drive thrus though. These are the kind of drive thrus that you don't even drive thru. That's right, these babies come to you. They are called food trucks. Tampa, like every other urban area in this country, hasf inally cashed in on the trend holding their third food truck rally in November.
