It's been almost three months and it's about time I post the before and after pics of the RV. It might show that I've got a history being Art Director for an Interior Magazine... haha. As you know we bought this old beauty in FL in November to become our home for the next two years. Naturally we weren't keen on keeping the turqouise carpet. And when pulling off the old pinkish wallpaper a whole bunch of waterleaks apperad as well. But most of it has been taken care of now. We spent two weeks rippng everything out [...]

Watch WATERS' performance of the Out In The Light track "Mickey Mantle" below. Read more »

Hooray for Earth - "True Loves" . The notion with the laser-guns is that you'd get this device, point it at someone, and make that someone disappear. They'd be detonated, demolished, turned into spray. The first laser-guns were gigantic, big as rooms, but the scientists were certain that they'd improve. The laser-guns would get smaller, small as guns, and space-cowboys'd be able to carry them in holsters, swaggery. Unfortunately the laser-guns never got smaller. The technology just didn't scale down. So we haul our laser-guns, big as rooms. in wagons the size of dance-floors. They are heavy and cumbersome. They [...]
Το εσωστρεφές κορίτσι με τη μελαχγολική φωνή ξεκίνησε ως μοντέλο αλλά μια και κατάγεται από οικογένεια καλλιτεχνών και διαννοουμένων έχει περάσει πια στο χώρο της τραγουδοποιίας .

Photo by Debi Del Grande As previously reported, Delta Spirit will unleash their third LP on Mach 13th via Rounder/Concord. The self-titled affair was produced by Chris Coady (Grizzly Bear, TV On the Radio, !!!) at Dreamland Recording Studios – a converted church built in 1896 in Woodstock, New York. Below, you can grab an exclusive download of the album's first track, "California". In support of the release, Delta Spirit will embark on a massive spring tour, kicking off with an appearance at South by Southwest . Find the band's complete tour schedule below, as well. [...]
The Water are a 2-piece, post-rock duo out of Baltimore, MD. Their sound is a straight up guitar/drum/keyboard magical journey. Explosions In The Sky really got me hooked on the whole post-rock movement and The Water bring the same musically passion to their music. The only difference is that there are only two guys, Dan Cohan (drums, guitars), and James Klink (guitar, keyboards) that are beating out the sounds. On January 31st, the duo will be releasing their debut album titled 'Scandals & Animals' via Scenic Route Records . They also have 3 EP's [...]

The Bicep boys had a fantastic 2011, picking up rather reputable guest DJ spots across the globe and releasing on some of the better labels in the world. They are always a surefire success for me, nailing the vintage house sound with a slightly fresh take on both production and dance floor analysis. Their tracks have always worked a treat for me and I don't think this techno inspired remix for Blondes is going to be any different. The usual 909 makes a welcome return, sampled through the trusty MPC with crisp Juno pads and the trusty M1 for stabs. [...]

The Long Beach group head out in support of their forthcoming LP come this March.

Photo by Debi Del Grande Those who caught Californian blues rockers Delta Spirit on their December jaunt with My Morning Jacket likely caught a preview of some new material from their forthcoming self-titled release . After the album, their third, drops on March 13th, you'll be able to catch a full dosage of the new tunes when they embark on a spring tour. The five piece will give the record a week to simmer before their first stop on March 19th in Little Rock, Arkansas. Next, it's up towards [...]

MOKB has followed Van Pierszalowski's musical projects from Port O'Brien all the way to his most recent work under the name of Waters . His early 90s influenced rock hit just right spot in year where more focus in the indie world was placed on electronica, producers, and new wave tinged dance rock. Waters recently did a QMtv Session and played four cuts from the album, Out in the Light , that Van was kind enough to discuss the story behind in an interview on MOKB late last year. [...]

Υπάρχει λοιπόν που λες μία γιορτή που λέγεται των Φώτων . Σε αυτή τη γιορτή παραδοσιακά στην πατρίδα μου τρελλαμένες τεστοστερόνες βουτάνε στα παγωμένα νερά και κάνουν πατητές ο ένας του άλλου ή δαγκωνιές για να κερδίσουν την εύνοια κάποιου με μακρυά πλουμιστά φορέματα, μακρυά γενειάδα και χρυσές φούστες που κάτι τους πέταξε θα σε γελάσω δεν είδα. Αν τους βγαίνει σε καλό αυτό το συνήθειο κανείς δε μας είπε. Αλλά για να επιμένουν κάτι θα ξέρουν. Κάτι θα ξέρουν και όλοι αυτοί που αντί να καταφύγουν στον ψυχίατρο της διατίμησης που προτείνει το χρεωκοπημένο [...]

When you go to your first concert, you have chills the entire time. The more and more shows you go to, the less that seems to happen. Not that the quality of music or performance has decreased, just that when music and work become so closely interwoven it becomes hard to step back and just let a song move you. But, when WATERS hit the first chorus of "Mickey Mantle" I had the chills. I remember trying to express to someone how beautiful I thought that performance was, and I couldn't…I couldn't explain it.

2011 - irgendwie ein komisches Jahr. Zumindest musikalisch gesehen. Denn eigentlich müssten hier die Hundreds stehen, das wunderbare Berliner Elektropop-Duo, das mich diese zwölf Monate so verzaubert hat. Doch lediglich das europaweite Releasedatum des selbstbetitelten Debutalbums fällt in die vergangenen zwölf Monate – in Deutschland erschien "Hundreds" nämlich schon 2010. Schade. Auf der Suche nach weiteren feinen Nullelfer-Sachen, merke ich, dass so eine Bandfixierung eh nicht gut tut. Denn der Rest fällt etwas hinten runter. Außerdem interessant: Alte Helden wie die Bright Eyes und Death Cab For Cutie schaffen es mit ihren neuen Alben nicht in meine Bestenliste, lediglich bei [...]
