Hypeful admittedly doesn't post nearly enough about film, but attach J.J. Abrams' name to a project and I am already there. Shrouded in secrecy with a viral marketing campaign to boot, Cloverfield has to be one of the most anticipated films of 2008 - despite the fact nobody really knows ...

Um, Whooaaaa . And thanks to my buddy from high school for introducing me to that. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: Okay music nerds, sound off: is this more accurately a cover of Joy Division, or New Order? • Xiu Xiu - Ceremony A band's place in myspace .

Xiu Xiu is a band I have been meaning to check out for quite awhile. After a Mary Timony induced nap, I was in much better spirits and was greeted by one of the high points of CMJ 2007. They are a guitar/keyboard/drum driven three piece with strange strangled emotive vocals. If there was one band outside of Dean and Britta to safely cover a Joy Division song, it would be Xiu Xiu and just that they did. There are bands out there that seem to be ready made to be covered with [...]
The band Xiu Xiu have left 5RC, have signed with Kill Rock Stars, and are gearing up for a new record soon. The album will be called Women As Lovers and come out on January 29th. Expect more bedroom confessions...

Vintage Violence: Grades 6-8 by John Gruen Note: The author attended an all-boys school. (1) I told J he looked like Dickey Barrett from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. He slapped me in the face.

Na 5 dagen non-stop bergop en bergaf wandelen in een brandende middagzon zon zoals ie alleen in Corsica brandt, ben ik terug in Belgica. Kortom het was een beestig avontuurlijk tochtje. Ik wilde vandaag nog een dagje Dour meepikken maar tot mijn grote teleurstelling ging dat niet meer. Dik balen. Hier zijn een paar oude en minder oude, bekende en minder bekende nummers van super vette groepen, allemaal dikke aanraders. Check it out!!!

Considering that International Gay Pride extends throughout the entire length of June, I gather I should have thrown some of these tunes your way weeks ago, rather than waiting until the tailend of the month. Oh well. Better late than never, right? Find some LGBT-fronted artists below and have a Happy Pride (if you haven't had one already)! MP3s: Xiu Xiu - Boy Soprano Grizzly Bear - Shift (acoustic) The Gossip - Listen Up! [...]

So here we are, a little less than two weeks after we started this one and it seemed to go pretty smoothly, all things considered. So here would be a good time to comment and let me know that you dug all these or didn't. Thanks again. I guess the new ABC's will start soon enough. V : Van Morrison - Into the Mystic (Live) The Vandals - Mohawk Town (Live) The Vue - Find your Home (Live) [...]

The Walkmen bring the party party, but not likely Stephen Harper, to the Bronson Centre on Friday. The Capital Idea! Festival is already underway, having already seen Quebecers The Besnard Lakes and Sunset Rubdown headline their respective shows on the first two nights. But by golly, don't you worry: the rock will still be brought over the course of 9 shows in the next 8 nights, the first half of which has been summarized into this handy little guide below. It's actually [...]

Photo credit: Rockstro Somewhere in between vocal and instrumental music there is music that simply uses spoken word. Often they tell a complete story - whether or not in some sort of poetry art form - or they simply use spoken word for sound effects. With music that includes singing you can sort of drift away with the sounds and melodies without ever paying real attention to the lyrics. But when there are only spoken words you can no longer escape from the meaning of those words. They are simply too upfront and outspoken [...]
Ve lo ricordate Tone deaf , il diabolico test di percezione musicale che misurava la capacità di riconoscere se due brevi melodie fossero uguali o meno? Il suo autore Jake Mandell ci ha preso gusto, e ora è la volta di Rhytm Deaf , che applica lo stesso principio con i due pattern ritmici. Il mio risultato (80% tondo tondo) viene descritto come Outstanding, ma a giudicare dalla sonora umiliazione che mi avete inflitto la volta scorsa (i commenti erano del tenore: «80,6 con musica di sottofondo, perché non mi andava di umiliarvi tutti quanti», «88.9 con il [...]
Era già uscita 5 anni fa (nel primo EP della band), ma io la scopro solo ora con la raccolta Remixed & covered: la versione di Ceremony dei New Order rifatta dagli Xiu Xiu riassume in maniera perfetta il mio umore (nonchè le mie condizioni psicofisiche) di questo periodo. Il primissimo singolo dei New Order (che è anche l'ultima canzone dei Joy Division, scritta mentre ancora Ian Curtis era in vita - storia completa qui ), sentita di recente anche nella colonna sonora di Marie Antoinette di Sofia Coppola, viene rivoltata come un calzino, e perde la sua nobile [...]
