by Gabriella Arrigoni TV Party (Debut Episode, Dec, 1978) What's on Network Awesome today? Not always, actually quite seldom, is the distinction between art and absurdity a relevant one. And it certainly doesn’t matter when in a TV show you combine live music, in-studio party, fancy dress, videotapes, punk, disco, anarchism, new wave, visual arts, rap, interviews, phone-in sessions, shaky camera angles, crude advertising [...]
By Gabriella Arrigoni Collection: TV Party Watch more on Network Awesome Not always, actually quite seldom, is the distinction between art and absurdity a relevant one. And it certainly doesn’t matter when in a TV show you combine live music, in-studio party, fancy dress, videotapes, punk, disco, anarchism, new wave, visual arts, rap, interviews, phone-in sessions, shaky camera angles, crude advertising and live drug taking. All this [...]

Herşey 1977 yılında San Francisco City College'de iki arkadaşın tanışmasıyla başladı. Tuxedomoon ABD'de en ateşli günlerini yaşayan dönemin punk aleminin bir parçası olarak evrimini başarıyla tamamladı. Ama diğer grupların aksine çiğ saf bir punk yerine elektronik aletleri kullanmadaki hünerleri onları çağdaşları arasından sıyırmaya yetmişti. En büyük dikkati çekmeleri 1978 yılında yayınladıları tedirgin ve nabız atışlarını zorlayan No Tears parçaları sayesinde oldu. Bir çok eleman değişikliklerine rağmen Tuxedomoon uzlaşmaz tutumlarından taviz vermeyerek ve yeniliklere açık kalarak çalışmalarına devam ediyorlar. Tuxedomoon - In A Manner Of Speaking [...]

Il y a quelques semaines, une petite promenade matinale de week-end en famille nous a permis de tomber sur une nouvelle curiosité : dans les bacs d'une sympathique "disquerie" (une bouquinerie de disques, si si ça existe), un album intitulé A man and a machine nous tendait les bras. L'objet, élégamment orné de figures géométriques en noir, blanc et rouge, ne pouvait que nous séduire. Et le contenant annonce parfaitement le contenu. Énième hommage consacrée à l'émergence des musiques électroniques au tournant des années 1980, cette compilation au titre kraftwerkien est éditée par le label indépendant parisien Le [...]

When I was a kid, I secretly liked my many allergies and occasional colds because it meant I got to have cold medicine. The ensuing loopiness was at once a dry run for the pharmacopeian dimension of early adulthood and also a weirdly satisfying recline into level of consciousness untroubled by neurosis or hurry. This last weekend of heavy allergies (I blame that damn Irene for putting all kinds of subterranean dust into the air) brought me back to that state. And here's a tune for that kind of dreaminess. Don't even think of hating on that saxophone! [...]

Drawing together a couple threads from the week — extroverted vox à la Peter Hammill and a cover treatment courtesy of Nouvelle Vague. (The latter is actually where I heard this tune first.) I don't often listen to these San Francisco avant-theatrical dudes, but I'm always happy when I do. Or at least made happily ill-at-ease. Such is their art, although this one is absolute pop for them. Also, they sport one of my all-time favorite band names. Tuxedomoon - In a Manner of Speaking

San Francisco based post punk band Tuxedomoon found fame supporting Devo, here's the title track from their 1983 four track EP 'No Tears' - alternative tracks also appear on the Optimo 'Sleepwalking' mix we posted back in October 2008 and more recently this Finn Johannsen mix .

Welcome to Wild Weekend , a.k.a. Week-end Sauvage , edition 40. Got some great songs sung in French (x2) and German for you this week, plus a bit of beat poetry, an Iron & Wine beauty, and a girl group gem the Beatles couldn´t get enough of. Just have another wild one, mes amis de musique . Let´s warm things up a bit with the help of more or less forgotten beat poet Kenneth Patchen. This month´s edition of Mojo magazine comes with a free cd covering [...]
(from http://www.kurzweilai.net/) Members of the public could form the backbone of powerful new mobile Internet networks by carrying wearable sensors, according to researchers from Queen’s University Belfast. The novel sensors could create new ultra-high-bandwidth mobile Internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations. The engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and [...]
I don't have much to talk about tonight. I'm feeling kind of out of it. And by that I mean I'm a little depressed. Not in a "I'm going to down a bottle of painkillers!" way, but in more of a, "Jesus I need to figure my shit out!" kind of way. Though I probably wouldn't mind the painkillers. Anyway, I have a busy week ahead of me. I guess it's good to clear my mind of stupid thoughts and, well, focus on sports and getting drunk: there's the Red Sox game on Tuesday night against the Angels [...]

I got to see Chrome last night at The Redwood downtown. Well, I saw Helios Creed playing Chrome songs...Damon died like fifteen years ago and I'm pretty sure the other guys were hired guns: Aleph on drums, Lux on bass, and the keyboard player who I see all over town who kind of looks like Eddie Izzard. I'm going to go ahead an say it was Chrome. Maybe you fuckers who saw the band in its early incarnation can really say you saw Chrome, but going to shows is a lot like playing baseball. What? Yeah, I said [...]
Coachella was announced today. Pretty good. Pretty much on the other side of the state. And four months away. Musicians work far more often than that. Why don't you seen them cold and indoors? Sorry that I don't have Grace Jones to offer you, but here are other things! Wednesday, January 20th Winston Tong, The Grave Brothers [...]

When two students at San Francisco City College met in 1977 they threw together a band called TuxedoMoon and started playing Salons and gaining a following. Eventually they ended up opening for Devo and getting signed to The Residents' label, Ralph Records. Thirty years later, despite, moving to Rotterdam to be a part of the electronic music scene there, they are still on tour and released an album in 2007. All San Francisco bands take note! You don't have to start here, move to New York and then break up two years later. You can stay here and [...]

This post is a couple of weeks late, but considering I was very ill last week, I think you'll forgive me. Whatever coldette I had a few weeks ago was nothing compared to this all-out attack on my immune system. It just stopped short of the lung searing bronchitis of a couple years ago. Nonetheless, I only allowed myself to miss roughly one day of work (the illness guilt my mother instilled in me as a child is still there). I'm really starting to believe I have an immunodeficiency disorder what with my chronic allergies and seemingly high risk of [...]

In ce mediu prolific s-a nascut Tuxedomoon! cu punkul mereu pe val si cu un alt val, cel nou si anacronic, daramand tot ce era repetitiv in industria muzicala, cu muzica facuta in garaj dar si avantgarda muzicala care semana izbitor cu cea interbelica. Tuxedomoon - Courante Marocaine Uneori suna atat de straniu si eclectic incat neaga new-wave-ul si parca sunt The Residents transportati in viitor, ratacind nostalgici prin raurile de purpura ale lui Uranus. Fuck it! As putea sa jur ca The Residents [...]

You are one of many on this cold, wet evening. The fog was heavy iron cloud on the brick street that affect the sound from each fingerprint. As you escape through the alley lined with waste, you realize another set of tracks next to you, and not merely an echo of the death of cooling. You hope that this labyrinth of decaying cement corridors will lead you life, as you hurry along, trying not to reveal fear. You are still in progress, but you do not know who or what..... [...]
