When I first heard Victoire , I didn't quite know what I was hearing. It was almost as if I had stepped out of myself and was floating in a world of clouds, strings and eerie calmness. Missy Mazzoli, Olivia De Prato , Eileen Mack , Lorna Krier , Eleonore Oppenheim and Mellissa Hughes make this chamber pop experiment come to life and guide you through every breathless movement. Though my mind was swirling with questions about what I was experiencing, I decided to simply let go and let the music take me [...]
Bon, on y est, dernière journée du championnat. C'est sûr, c'est cuit mais impossible d'accepter l'évidence, impossible de ne pas espérer une issue finale qui produirait ça: Alors, aujourd'hui, 17h, sur les ondes de la radio 666, dans l'émission wadiophonique ... Suite
"I too lived - Brooklyn, of ample hills, was mine." - Walt Whitman, "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" By this point, it's an old story that Manhattan has lost much of its cultural capital to its neighbor across the East River. Nowadays, if you want cutting edge art, if you want to find clusters of musicians meeting at bars and coffee shops to talk shop, if you want to find the venues and neighborhoods that foster a multi-colored collaboration between the arts and across genres, cultures, ethnicities, and classes, you go to Brooklyn. Thirty years ago, you could say the [...]
If you are a fan of independent label music (and if you are reading this blog, I don't know how you wouldn't be), you are probably well aware of the scene's obsession with genre labels. It has become exhausting to keep track of the ever changing, loosely defined sonic bins that are created to organize the gray-scale spectrum of indie sounds. That's why its...
Un Uruguayen, un Argentin, un Français et un Suisse-italien se baladent sur l'herbe verte du Vernier sur Rock. Ils ont l'air serein, le rire facile et la démarche d'hidalgos: ces compères s'apprêtent à extasier un public qui le leur rendra en applaudissements. Le groupe prématuré The Black Widow's Project a remporté le tremplin des artistes haut la main hier soir. La magie du rock s'est opérée en toute simplicité et sans artifices scéniques. Puissance du son et de l'interprétation ont fait la différence dans ce concours musical, où de vraies perles de rockers ont été retenus par un [...]
After a brief hiatus, I've returned to cover a few records that came out at the end of last year and also to celebrate something very special. And it is because this occasion is so special that I've prepared a speech: Our first year online [pause for applause] Thank you for reading last year, now and in the future. You are the stars [pause for applause] Yes, one year is a long time, but my love for you all will never die [pause for applause] Thank [...]
Victoire "I Am Coming For My Things" The most obvious thing in this composition is the sound of the phone message - "I am coming for my things," repeated a few times over, rewinding the memory to make sure it happened, or going back over the thought as if to underline it and make it more real. It was said, it's over, you have to stick with it. The music is deeper, darker, totally abstracted. I hear shock, I hear loneliness, I hear self-pity, I hear anger, I hear relief. The emotions seem isolated to different [...]

La prestation du groupe français Phoenix, samedi, lors des victoires de la musique sur France 2 a enthousiasmé les spectateurs et le public de la France entière. Benjamin Biolay, très très ému, s'est exclamé avec quelques larmes "je les ai toujours aimé, autant que Pow Wow, les Forbans ou les Gipsy Kings et ils méritent leur victoire comme tout le monde d'ailleurs car maintenant c'est fou comme j'aime tout le monde autant que Patrick Hernandez, Francis Lalanne, Jean-Pierre Mader ou même le prochain gagnant de la Nouvelle Star". L'ensemble de la profession de Collarogéro à Pepper Obispo en passant par [...]
