Historical Context Ban Ki Moon becomes UN Secretary of State (I guess they didn't like my suggestion of Ozzy Osbourne). The iPhone is launched, creating great excitement among the large swathes of the population who still seem to believe that Apple is cool and different. The Doomsday Clock is advanced to 5 minutes before midnight. This is not as awesome as death metal fans would have you believe. The Orange Revolution occurs in the Ukraine, leading us one step closer to running out of colours for names of revolutions. Nicolas Sarkozy becomes [...]
![Pilooski @ Berlin [9.23]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2001289_lg.jpg)
via Beautymist Pilooski will be making his first Chicago appearance on Wednesday, September 23rd at Berlin, so let's give him a good showing! Couldn't be better timing either, really, having just been featured on the LCD Soundsytem/Nike remix project for the single of 45:33 Remixes out this past Tuesday on DFA. So go pick that up. For a little curveball, I'm not going to post that track. You can find that one here at any number of different sites. What I want [...]
"We Always Loved the Sad, Sad Songs" – Gaslight Anthem – Angry Johnny and the Radio Music is catharsis, a release for feelings too complex and too important for mere words. One of my favourite quotes comes from High Fidelity, where John Cusack's character asks "Which came first, the music or the misery?" I'm not saying anything new by claiming that music influences your mood and makes simple things like life seem either more or less tolerable. I see the logic in listening to happy music to pull you out of the doldrums, but [...]
Good news! I'm finally back on the internet at home so normal posting service will be resumed. Anyway, so this You Tube vid seems to suggest that someone at the European Union has deemed Von Sudenfed most appropriate for Chemicals having a party ...
Da fand ich heute eine nette Überraschung fürs Auge. Die Graffiti von Paul The Wine Guy werfen die Ions unserer 1-0-Maschinen ins richtige Leben (na ja - fast!). Unter IT everywhere hat Paul the Win Guy seine Ideen für Wandmalereien zusammengetragen. Ich hätte gern so eines in meiner Strasse. Dann gäbe es immer was zum Schmunzeln, wenn ich das Haus verlasse oder nach verrichtetem Tagwerk nach Hause schlurfe. Schön wär das. Zum Beispiel eines von diesen dreien hier: [...]
You could hear the shriek of delight at the other end of the street. What was it all about you may well be wondering. It was the effect a brand new Von Sudenfed track had on me as it unleashed some classic Mark E Smith ramblings through the house. This track is Smith on top form (has he ever not being) and It comes from a compilation album on Domino called "Domino Presents All The Rage" which is apparently a collection of tracks from new and upcoming releases so does that mean a new Von Sudenfed [...]
This week's mixtape is on the theme Power. Which to me is way too similar to Energy a few weeks ago. So instead of basing the songs on power, I'm basing them on Phil "The Power" Taylor. Power Snap! - The Power . Philip Douglas Taylor (born August 13, 1960) is a multi world champion darts player. His nickname is The Power. His 13 World Championship titles and over 45 [...]
Von Südenfed - Fledermaus Can't Get It: From the 2007 album Tromatic Reflexxions on Domino. Originally from KEXP Song of the Day on December 31, 1969, 4:59pm
In an unexpected turn of events, I actually left the house last night, under the cover of darkness. It's not something I do very often and so when I do, I try and get something out of it. In the past, this has led to trips to the hospital, and unwelcome excursions into Surrey. This time, I'm hopeful it will lead to one of the worst gig reviews of recent times. To Heaven then, to see Von Südenfed . The first turn on were Chrome Hoof . But I missed them, because I was in the [...]
Son dönemin yükselen elektronik müzik türevlerinden biri olan elektro rock yeni bir isme kavuştu Mayıs ayında. Bu isim Von Südenfed. Andi Toma, Jan St. Werner ve Mark E. Smith'den oluşan grup Mayıs ayının ortasında "Fledermaus Can't Get It" adlı bir single yayınladılar ve endüstriyel rock etkili elektro rock tarzlarıyla dikkat çektiler. Bunu 3 hafta sonra ilk albümler "Tromatic Reflexxions" izledi. Aslında gruptaki iki kişi bize yabancı değil. Andi Toma ve Jan St. Werner aynı zamanda ülkemize de IKSV Phonem Festivali kapsamında gelen Mouse On Mars grubunu oluşturuyorlar. Mouse On Mars'ı seven ve buradaki performanslarına bayılan biri olarak [...]

That Sound Wiped - Von Sudenfed . mp3
Arrogant oder einfach nur nervig – jeder scheint ein Problem mit unseren Mark E. Smith zu haben. Und was man nicht alles tut, um seinen Stern vor dem Sinken zu bewahren, zeigt der alte Ein-, bis maximal 2 Akkorde-Grantler mit dem Kolletiv "Von Suedenfed". Oper, The Kinks und Sister Sledge – nichts scheint vor ihm sicher zu sein. "Always different, always the same," wußte schon John Peel. Er will es aber auch niemanden so richtig recht machen. Mir schon. Nur was macht er denn jetzt da schon wieder? Von Südenfed – wie [...]
Dub Pistols - Gansgsters (feat. Terry Hall) Von Südenfed - That Sound Wiped Groove Armada - Drop That Thing DJ Mehdi - Always Be An Angel DJ Mehdi - Hot-O-Momo Björk - Hope
Hmmmm, Von Südenfed . Where to begin? If you were to take Andi Toma, Mark E. Smith and Jan St. Werner and stick them in a line up, my money's on you not picking them out as the three members of the band. Put the three of them together though, and you get some music that's three lanes to the left of ordinary. Start out with some KMFDM , include one part Fatboy Slim , add some They Might Be Giants random sound effects and spoken lyrics, put it over [...]
