The Lonely German Soldier

For obvious historical reasons, Germany has a conflicted relationship with its military forces. For more than a few pacifist Germans (and in a way 'pacifist' is nearly synonymous with being German today), the fact that the country even has an active armed forces is barely acceptable. That's why Nicholas Kulish's piece No Parade for Hans resonated with me. It described a scene I've seen many times in Berlin. In countless train stations I've also seen the "sad, lone figure of a soldier, heavy pack on his back, waiting for a train like the rest of us, but separated [...]

Your Daily Funk - "The World Is A Ghetto"

Your Daily Funk - "The World Is A Ghetto" I can't stand when rappers let the beat ride out for anything over 30-40 seconds. You're a rapper, rap over it or get on with the next song. But when real musicians do it, everyone is better for it. War is one of those groups and "The World Is A Ghetto" is a great example of this. Clocking in a little over 10 minutes, it just sounds like at certain points they just kept went with the flow and forgot they were even supposed to be singing. Thrown in the harmonizing, words that still [...]

WAR & CRIMEN

Si hay algo que me me hace feliz, es encontrar buena música en el inbox del blog. Esto pasó hoy con Crimen , un tipo bien serio de Mexico que con sonidos bien WOBBLESHSJHEZ hace mi viernes totalmente animado. Ha remixeado a personalidades místicas como N.A.S.A, La Roux, Dirty Nam Nam (por nombrar algo) y bueno, esperen todo el War EP que por lo que he oído estará BRUTAL. BANG pues, los veo por ahí.

Delphic found by mistake in Belgium

Delphic found by mistake in Belgium I said I would post some of the acts that I saw when I was away back in August and now I might just be about to start, 2 months later. Walking past the marque stage at Pukkelpop to the main stage I heard a band that I wouldn't of minded seeing, hadn't heard of them before but they sounded quality. Unfortunately I had said to my friend I would go and see New Found Glory, who were even worse than I thought they would be. Fucking Ripped! Luckily a week later they were playing at [...]

Amerie's album cover for "In Love & War"

Amerie's album cover for "In Love & War" Her dramatic visuals are lush and powerful, but she doesn't have the beats to match. Everything we have heard from In Love & War has been a disaster. Maybe that's why she is so dramatic. Posted in Beats, Yankee Panky Tagged: amerie, in, love, war

A Deal is a Deal

A Deal is a Deal I genuinely try to keep it light around here, but this story seemed both unique and poignant enough to share. Two British soldiers made a pact: if either man died, and the other survived, he would wear a dress to his comrades funeral. And that's the harsh reality that Barry Delaney faced after Private Kevin Elliot was killed in action. Delaney showed up to the funeral in a green dress and pink leg warmers. Good friend. FULL STORY . Related posts: [...]

Video: Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - War (live)

Video: Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - War (live) Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is one of the best live acts around at the moment; the kind that know how to get a crowd going even if you've never heard of them before. At the group's core are seven brothers who have been in a family band since 1984, their father having been Sun Ra's trumpeter through the '50s. At last week's Electric Picnic, the only tent that was harder to get into than the Ensemble's was Florence and the Machine - warranting a surprise slot at the Body & Soul stage later that day. The good news is they're due [...]

Let's Get Teddy To Rumble!

Let's Get Teddy To Rumble! Yeo! Tonight is the night that Teddington is taking over the opening set, so this is the last blog entry before the momentous occasion. We're going to miss the opportunities to make puns on his name, but that's cool. We've also included this photo of him hanging out with Peaches Geldof , mainly because it'll wind him up. Enjoy his picks for the day, and we'll see you on the dance floor. Q Lazarus - Goodbye Horses (Krikor Edit) War - Galaxy [...]

The War on Drugs?.....I'm Confused

A friend of mine was recently on a trip to the US where he fell and spranged his wrist. OUCH! So naturally he went to the local hospital to get it looked at, bandaged up and where they gave him a prescription for OxyContin. OxyContin really? for a sprang. For those of you who don't know its a drug derived from Opium and will give you a damn good high. Which got me thinking the States has a high

The album wars: Mariah Carey vs. Madonna

The album wars: Mariah Carey vs. Madonna Mariah Carey has pushed back her album to make room for a second single and now she is going head-to-head with Madonna. Mariah had to postpone Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel to ready up a ballad single and to avoid messing up Whitney Houston's comeback. Meanwhile, Madonna fans are quick to point out that "Obsessed" was a flop because it peaked at #11 and didn't break the top 10 completely omitting the fact that Madonna last three singles didn't even break the top 50. "Celebration" is currently sitting pretty at glorious and successful #71. Madonna wishes she has [...]

Amerie's missteps with new single and cover

Amerie's missteps with new single and cover Amerie is misstepping all over the place. First the singles seem like they don't want to be singles. Her first attempt "Why R U" sounded like an SWV b-side. The second one pictured above "Heard 'Em All" is a loud ruckus that doesn't go anywhere. Plus, the new age renaissance look is not happening at all. Maybe it's in keeping with the album concept of In Love & War, which is to close to Daniel Merriweather's Love & War . She needs to go back to big band instrumentation like the one on "1 Thing." That was [...]

Pharoahe Monch Tears Up The Jazz Cafe

Pharoahe Monch @ Jazz Cafe Aug '09 PT1
It's always great to hear news about Monch. The guy is a complete monster, and he definitely restfully resides in my top 5 emcees of all time. This video comes to us via 2DopeBoyz , and it features some footage of Pharoahe tearing up the Jazz Cafe in London. It's nice to see these guys starting things off with a little Black Milk, because God knows it never hurt anyone. In the performance Monch runs through "The Matrix", "Let's Go" & "I'm Free" (Baatin tribute). Does anyone know when WAR is supposed to drop? Posted in Media, Video [...]

Tonight's Can't-Miss Artist Selection: Brown Shoe

Tonight's Can't-Miss Artist Selection: Brown Shoe There's a lesson to be learned in all things... That's true in life and it certainly seems to be the case in music. One of my greatest lessons in sound this year came back in March when I learned, once again, that extraordinary art can spring forth from the most unlikely or most unexpected of places.
