Quelques nouvelles news et déjà anciennes news pour réveiller un peu ce blog de fainéant... FRIENDLY FIRES PARIS Un nouveau single (composé après un concert à... Paris) qui classe automatiquement les anglais dans la liste des groupes les plus attendus pour cette année 2008 [...]
It's Christmas Eve. I'm at work, but not working as is evident from this post. It's actually a good day to be coming in - quiet commute, and just after 9am was a good time to go to Oxford Street for last-minute Christmas shopping - I've hardly seen it so quiet. Anyway, I wasn't going to post the usual indie-bands-doing-Christmas songs, but I've come across some this morning as part of my hard work, and I thought I'd sign off with some seasonal cheer. This may be the last post till after [...]
O Holy Night Per chi ha bisogno di un poco di quiete in questi frenetici giorni prima di Natale, tra le decine di canzoni di stagione che compaiono ogni minuto in rete (la Filthy LIttle Angels come al solito esagera e spara una tripla compilation con 60 tracce in free download), posso consigliare due cover del classico brano O Holy Night . La prima è a cura di Theoretical Girl , curioso progetto solista di una elegante fanciulla britannica che [...]
Welcome to Outloud. This week we are going to discuss the volatile subject of No Wave. If you remember, or were not following my column back then, we briefly touched on this issue while discussing one of the loudest bands on the planet - The Swans. W...

No regulated German techno beats like recent days today guys, just guitars and noise, together, in the best fashion possible. Girls girls girls, everywhere I look I see girls specialising in skronky noisecore and off-kilter indie pop. Not really, just these three. Japan-cum-London girl Akiko Matsuura plays for both Comanechi and Pre . After reading Vice 's review of the Comanechi and Pre 7" split I decided I would quite like to see her, from a distance, [...]
manche unterfangen im internet sind einfach dreist. pcplanets.com als schlechter hyemachine-klon gehört dazu. das ding listet eine menge mp3-blogs, in meinem fall ohne nachfrage oder genehmigung. das ist mir prinzipiell erst einmal aber gleichgültig. die inhalte, also links zu mp3s, werden nach künstler sortiert dargestellt und sind direkt, ohne umweg auf das entsprechende mp3-blog ansteuerbar. beim klick auf songs ist nicht mehr klar, woher die inhalte kommen. das sollte jedem mp3-blogger übel aufstossen, der zeit und herzblut in die sache steckt. mit der leistung anderer wird über google-ads geld [...]
Sigh. This week I stumbled and suffered through Between Montmartre and the Mudd Club: Popular Music and the Avante-Garde by Bernard Gendron, a somewhat silly book that attempts to deconstruct the relationship between turn of the century French avant-garde cabarets to New York No Wave art clubs in the 1970s and early 1980s. Sigh. In the words of Elastica, " somehow a vital connection is made ", but in doing so he breezes through nearly every musical genre between 1890 and 1990, which left my class scratching its collective head [...]
What is it with Southend these days? There seems to be a stream (OK, maybe a trickle) of artists making their way out of the town better known for faded seaside grandeur and chavs. I've been there once, and funnily enough the town centre is the mental image I have when I hear radio news reports about binge drinking, boyracing and general anti-social behaviour. If you're from Southend, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can do much about it. The image is well-lodged now. Anyway. [...]
Theoretical Girl For the past however many years now my tastes have been getting increasingly narrow. I basically only listen to various permutations of dance music and/or kinda sad contemporary classical music like arvo part or max richter or saddish digital pop (not pop) like fennesz or stuff that combines those things. That's probably not true at all but it seems that way. Theoretical Girl is music to remind people that as much fun as you're having dancing, you're probably still not that happy. The same aggravations exist, and [...]
