I don't know about you guys, but I've been trying real hard to get myself an indie crush for years now. I know, I know: there has to be a better adjective than indie, right? But you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah: Beyoncé's smoking hot; we get it. And Britney Spears did this photo shoot for the New York Times a few years ago that blew me away (there's a good pun in there somewhere). But
I'd like to start by saying that being in the music business has totally de-mystified a lot of the magic that I felt about records and songs when I was a young lad. Being a kid, you just listen to stuff without any sort of prejudgment or cynicism and everything sounds new and wondrous. Lately, when I hear new bands I can't help but play the reference game; "they sound like so and so meets bowie meets so and so." I critique production styles; the drums sound like shit, but they're doing that on purpose to sound "authentic." I think [...]
pop the party, new york geht steil! photo courtesy of uffie / ed banger records morgen ist es also mal wieder so weit. nach längerer zeit fahre ich der musik hinterher, statt in köln auf sie zu warten. warum sich das lohnt habe ich an anderer stelle schon mal gesagt . und wer morgen abend zufälligerweise auch im essener hotel shanghai übernachten sollte, derdie kann dann mit einem euphorisierten herr waldar zu uffie und feadz abspacken. >> [...]
Given these great pictures of Uffie I was directed to, her new single is appropriately titled! Check out the rest here. The magazine (Pigmag) also has an interview with her. Yay! But it's in Italian. Boo! So unless you can speak Italian you may have to amuse yourself with the ever incomprehensible world of the online translation. As for the new single, well to begin with I was a bit
Estetica da Suicide Girl come piace a noi, la solita electro minimale alla Peaches e Tying Tiffany e l'etichetta francese Ed Banger che la supporta dopo il convincente rodaggio su MySpace. Questi gli ingredienti con cui Anna Catherine Hartley è diventata Uffie, nuove reginetta dell'elettronica che sta girando i club di mezzo mondo e a fine settembre arriverà anche a Milano. Tutta immagine direte
(photo taken by Rebecca Smeyne for myopenbar.com ) Uffie, "Hot Chick" Uffie, "In Charge" I'm fully recovered and rested from my Thursday night odyssey to New York City, so I wanted to discuss how great and crazy a night this was. I took the 6:30 Chinatown bus, rolled in at 8:30, met the two people most responsible for this show in the LES and headed [...]
there are certain things that i just can't help but write about compulsively - things like the knife , justice , tv on the radio , nike air max 90s , and pretty much anything having to do with parisian record label ed banger records . so it is with baited breath and a fistful of sparks (!) that i'm waiting for this party tomorrow night at element . almost the entire roster (save for justice) will be descending upon nyc for a night of total debauchery. uffie [...]
![Boston: Shows [Week of 08.28.06]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/223320_lg.jpg)
Let's just say that things are rather slow this week around Boston -- there are a handful of shows, few of which that are really exciting. Hopefully things are going to pick up on the other side of Labor Day, and just a quick glance at the show calendar indicates that things are going to get really hectic very soon! The first few weeks of September bring Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Sound Team, The French Kicks, Birdmonster, The Strokes, Man Man and The Gossip to town, and that's just to name a few. September will also [...]
Plus besoin de présenter ici la jeune Uffie . Depuis mon post enthousiaste de Janvier, la protégée du dj Feadz a rencontré un joli succès underground avec son maxi "Pop the glock / Ready to uff" et fait le tour des blogs et aussi des clubs. Ses premières apparitions scèniques sont pour l'instant loin d'avoir fait l'unanimité mais on surveillera quand même ses prochains faits discographiques avec une certaine curiosité doublée d'une réelle excitation. Deux nouveaux morceaux [...]
