If the pretty young things in Parisian fashion blogs like Garance Dor wrote songs, they would be like this : synth-y lullabies full of heart-bursting sincerity, plus that French je ne sais quoi. They would certainly sound like Birkii, the latest and greatest of the bubbling new french scene. But more Breakbot than Edith Piaf!

Do you have ten minutes to spare? I certainly hope so, because I'm imploring you to watch this incredible piece The Wall Street Journal produced on Iraq War Veteran Ian Welch, who was diagnosed with PTSD and traumatic brain injury after his convoy was attacked. The video was filmed by Brandon Thibodeaux. It's an intimate look over a two month period of the problems Ian deals with and the effects on his relationship with his girlfriend and caretaker Katie Brickman. This is kind of the unknown told story of the Iraq [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-08T22:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4047071/video-war-brodermordet/

A inicios de semana les puse por aqui el b-side del nuevo sencillo que estara lanzando War a traves de Sacred Bones y, si en esa ocasion no tuvieron chande de ver sobre que se trata War o quien demonios es War !. Bueno, pues se los vuelvo a repetir: este proyecto es basicamente un duo compuesto por el vocalista y lider de Iceage ' Elias Bender Rnnenfel junto con Loke Rahbek de Sexdrom quien a su vez tambien es una de las partes que fundaron el sello Posh Isolatio donde [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-27T21:13:02+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4019341/war-somme-maggio/
Elias Bender Rnnenfelt, frontman for jittery Danish punks Iceage, has a new side project called War, who could not possibly sound less like the Latin funk band with the same name. Instead, this War is a duo with Sexdrome's Loke Rahbek, and they specialize in murky, diffuse, dark tracks that use loops and electronics. Below, listen to their track "Somme, Maggio," their side of a split release with the Swedish band Lust For Youth. It's five minutes long, the length of about four Iceage songs.

El ao pasado Iceage fueron los autores de uno de los mejores albums que nos dejo el 2011 y ademas, en mi muy humilde opinion siento que fue uno de esos grandes materiales del mas puro y clasico garage punk que ha salido en aos!. Ahora, el vocalista de Iceage, Elias Bender Rnnenfelt, esta por poner a la venta un nuevo sencillo a traves de Sacred Bones con su proyecto alterno llamado War el cual, el junto con Loke Rahbek de Sexdrome han estado creando piezas un poco diferentes a las que hemos escuchado de [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-04T17:43:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3965604/vietnam-protest-san-francisco-1967/

Every year, a few bands make it into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and a few more nominated bands get left off. This year, the list of inductees isn't terrible: Guns N' Roses, the Beastie Boys, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Small Faces among them. But the list of snubbed acts is arguably even more impressive: the Cure, Eric B. & Rakim, the Spinners, Donna Summer, Heart. And War. The '70s funkateers, whose catalog of hits is deep and impressive, were among the acts left out in the cold this year. And [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-06T05:25:40+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3909403/kez-ym-december-mix/
