What's not to like about a band with two drum sets and other percussive instruments? Everyone manages to switch and play different instruments on different songs. Here's some pics and videos I managed to take from the show: Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =En2mxovjcCU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =TCKy8eh-cno [...]

Photo taken from Pitchfork Capping off the whirlwind of my last five days, I finally got to experience Tortoise in a live setting as WLUW presented them and Make Believe (my personal favorite Kinsella project) at the Metro last night. Not that I needed many more reasons, but the live show further proved that in my eyes they are absolutely the most incredible contemporary band; so if they happened to be stopping in your city, I absolutely recommend you go (granted you have probably [...]

MP3: BUMPS "Tryplmeade Gorsmatch" ( Stones Throw ) John McEntire, John Herndon, and Dan Bitney of Tortoise unite for the side project Bumps. The band creates percussion-only instrumentals like this one from their self-titled LP. Considering that these guys are all in Tortoise, I wouldn't be surprised if the album was all just as amazingly dynamic. tags: music | mp3 | post-rock | experimental | Bumps | [...]

It's May, and the all-instrumental extravaganza continues. . . "Return of the Birdland" by LINK WRAY I would be remiss if I did a series of posts on great instrumentals and failed to mention Link Wray. More important to the electric guitar and perhaps rock itself than Jimi Hendrix, Wray has not yet been inducted in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. What the fuck?!

So my lovefest for all things Bonnie Prince Billy isn't exactly a secret. However, it did take me an alarming number of listens to really get his collaboration with Tortoise. Maybe it's because it was covers and the words just weren't typical Will or something, but it never hit me until about a month ago. Late one night while working on a painting this track came on (random shuffle style) and it was absolutely perfect. So Oldham's trend of brilliance continues (at least in my mind). ::: Tortoise & Bonnie Prince Billy - [...]

There is a moment when every true creator makes such a leap forward that his audience is left behind. For Renoir, La Règle du jeu was the sign of maturity, a film so new that it looks confusingly as if it might be a failure; one of those failures that leaves you, the morning after, counting your friends on the fingers of one hand. - François Truffaut , Cahiers du cinéma 34, April 1954 " Monday Night Relaxing Mix with Everything " 01.

Curieux. Neuf ans de pratique, quasiment un an - dans sept jours - de vague existence de ce blog, et aucune mention de mon instrument de musique préféré. Objection, y'a marqué "electronic music" sur le header. Qu'à cela ne tienne, dénaturons. Y'a du reggae dans le billet précédent et allez, la prochaine fois un solo de vingt minutes d'Ali Akbar Khan. Tant qu'à faire. Je suis grand amateur de "post-rock" depuis que le genre a croisé mon chemin avec le superbe Come On Die Young de Mogwai.

Pitchfork , the indie-news magnate that I love to hate, has the scoop on a Tortoise tour in early summer. Now, there's not too many dates and no word on any new music but this is still an awesome opportunity to get to see a band comprised of musicians who have been in, like, every band ever created in the universe (or just these...Brokeback, the For Carnation, Pullman, Gastr Del Sol, the Sea and Cake, Toe, Isotope 217, Tricolor, Exploding Star Orchestra, Slint, Seam, Shrimp Boat, and about a billion collaborations).
