Değişmek için bir adım atmak yeterlidir. Peki, ya değişmek istemiyorsak? O adımı atmaktan korkuyorsak? Her açılan kapının ötesinde bizi tehdit eden şeyler varsa? İçimizden bir ses, her şeyin bir giyotin olduğunu söylüyorsa... Yine de hayatlarımızı parçalayan eşiklerden korkuyla, panikle, aceleyle, şehvetle, arzuyla, günahla, saflıkla geçip gidiyoruz. Asıl düşündürücü mesele şu: Eşikte durmak, eşikten geçmek yada en önemlisi eşikte kalmak. Şairin dediği gibi "Ne zaman bu sehirden kaçıp gitme isteği gelse, bir köşeye oturup geçmesini bekliyorum. Gidersem dönmem çünkü biliyorum." [...]
Black Partridge comprises two brothers from Illinois. The duo have a unique sound that fuses lo-fi rock and pop with caressing sentiments of shoegaze and dream-pop. The older brother, Vito, plays the bass guitar while Mick takes over vocals and guitar. While the pair has yet to release an album, they have four songs available [...]
Dandelion Radio Regular readers to the blog will know how much the Devil misses the late, great John Peel. I'm therefore overjoyed to announce that Dandelion Radio , the online station at www.dandelionradio.com run by volunteers to keep the Peel flame burning, have just released a free compilation of highlights of their first five years. [...]
Aberdeen holds a special place in the cult of indie-pop. The quartet was the only Los Angeles band to release music on the legendary London label Sarah Records . Their gorgeous, shoegazey twee-pop belied the band's tumultuous existence (and breakup) in the 1990s, but principals John Girgus and Beth Arzy got their heads together with bandmates Johnny Joyner and Brian Espinosa after a six-year layoff to finish the album "Homesick and Happy to Be Here," finally released in 2002. ||| Photos by Laurie Scavo [...]
Just read a post from a member of Trembling Blue Stars: "New (and final) TBS 6 track EP "Correspondence": artwork & music sent to the factory today. Expect an orange vinyl 10" with Half-Light & Outside remixed by Robert Hampson available from Elefant Records in May." I hate to say good-bye. The music of TBS means a lot to me and is the soundtrack to a certain time in my life. Oddly, I found their music by accident and I held it close to my heart, not sharing it, not screaming about it to friends. It was something I wanted [...]
2010 was quite a year. It saw graduations, festivals, a move from Athens to Barcelona, the discovery of a new city, a slight, um, slowing down of our blog activity, a World Cup, many flights (17 for me), and a lot of great music. So, without further ado, we present to you: So, how did we compile this rather fantastic list, you ask? Easy, we consulted our trusty last.fm profiles (see the bottom of this page for our individual profiles). We then each chose our top 25 and [...]

Συνηθως οι καλλιτέχνες (ή οι μάνατζερ, ή οι εταιρίες) έχουν καλό κριτήριο για το ποια τραγούδια θα κόψουν το νήμα της προεργασίας και της ηχογράφησης και θα τοποθετηθούν στα άλμπουμ. Κάποια πράγματα φαίνονται απο μακριά άλλωστε, όσο κι αν η καθημερινή επαφή και σύνδεση με τα τραγούδια, που έτσι και αλλιώς όλα παραμένουν παιδιά σου (έστω και αν τα έχεις στείλει στην Ελβετία για σπουδές προκειμένου να έχεις το κεφάλι σου ήσυχο), θολώνει την κρίση. Τα περίφημα b-sides είναι αυτά τα παραμελημένα παιδιά που στην ουσία δικαιολογούν την ύπαρξη των singles για το παραιτέρω ξεζούμισμα των (όσων [...]

Per i nostalgici della Sarah Records e di certo sublime pop il ritorno dei Trembling Blue Stars . Continua a leggere Trembling Blue Stars: le delizie dream pop di Fast Trains And Telegraph Wires... Commenta
Enjoying some new synthpop remixes of christopher ANTON over at his bandcamp page . Oh, and what else am I up to? Did I already mention The Trembling Blue Star's latest is still streaming free here ? I think I posted the link on Facebook. If you like TBS, be sure to check out Harper Lee , band very related to TBS and Sarah Records (Brighter). Drowned in Sound had a nice piece on A Decade of Glasgow . As a fan of that city, the music, the people (real and fictional!), it was a nice [...]
Putting the video postings on a temporary halt! Electro-disco-dance-pop (whatever) duo Kisses gives away a new song from their forthcoming album The Heart of the Nightlife . And no! It’s not a mistake. The track is indeed called Kisses ! + Kisses + Bermuda Stream the new (and final) album Fast Trains and Telegraph Wires by Trembling Blue Stars [...]
There hasn't been a Trembling Blue Stars record since 2005, but shortly, there will be . Bob Wratten's got the team together again for one last record, turning what had been an ellipsis into a proper full stop. Actually, it's two last records, but they go together. The album is Fast Trains and Telegraphs Wires has also got Cath Carroll on it. That's two nights running we've had a story about a new record with Cath Carroll on it. The ep is Cicely Tonight Volume One. Even though there's never [...]
I'll start this item with full disclosure: I've been friends with John Girgus since I wrote this piece about Aberdeen's "Homesick and Happy to Be Here" for my former employer over eight years ago. The album has held up well, and with bands such as the Pains of Being Pure at Heart and the Radio Dept. getting attention for their twist on the shoegazey twee-pop championed by the legendary Sarah Records , the L.A. quartet Aberdeen is worth revisiting. Three of the foursome's EPs were recently re-released digitally, with bonus tracks and alternate [...]
Leuke Smiths-covers zijn er volop. Zo schiet me vooral Please Please Please Let Me get What I Want van The Lancaster Orchestra te binnen. Maar ook This Charming Man van het eerste album van Stars staat hoog op het lijstje van goed geslaagde Smiths-covers. Het is de band van Amy Millan en Torquil Campbell blijkbaar zo goed bevallen dat ze negen jaar na This Charming Man hun versie van Asleep opnamen. En ook deze cover is weer erg geslaagd. Overigens komt op 22 juni weer een nieuw album van Stars uit, The [...]
I explained my loathing of Christmas last year , and all I can say is how happy I am not to be working retail (it was getting pretty close as the resumés kept going out to no avail last year). I'm already feeling the funk creep in (not the Parliament kind) as I avoid the shopping centres and try my hardest to block out my mother's moaning about not having enough extended family for holiday occasions (the dig at my singleness is duly noted - if only she could understand what pure joy I have in my own company...she'd [...]
As promised in my last post about the Manics show in Toronto, one of this week's mixes will be Manics-themed. It couldn't just be a bunch of Manics album tracks, nor even a bunch of b-sides (frankly, I do enough of those in other mixes and posts, and that would all be too easy). Since they are one of the most dynamic live bands in the world, this mix is comprised of tracks from various bootlegs of Manics gigs. I have nowhere near the amount of bootlegs other Manics fans have, but I delved into what I did have and [...]
