"The Lost" - not just "Lost"

Aug 25, 2006, 7:45am A Teardrop Explodes
"The Lost" - not just "Lost" Talking about Julian Cope on the previous post, I remembered that I had on my mind to tell you about the movie " The Lost ", which will be featured on this year's Athens International Film Festival (20 Sept. - 1 Oct.). The connection between this american indie flick and Julian is that the amazing soundtrack features music by the great Brain Donor , Julian's "metal" band. Except Brain Donor, while watching the movie, expect original music by Temistoclis H. Rutili (former of Red Red Meat, now on Califone), and songs [...]

Death Folk Society

Aug 25, 2006, 4:12am A Teardrop Explodes
Death Folk Society Last Friday, the excellent Guardian published a very interesting, as always, essay by non other than the Arch-Drude himself, Julian Cope. As he is regularly doing on Head Heritage , Julian praises his favourite acts from the underground worldwide scene and he points that "Across the world, underground scenes are using the shell of heavy metal - the volume, the grinding riffs, the imagery, the nomenclature - to test rock'n'roll perceptions and explore boundaries, all the while shamelessly subsuming other vastly different musical styles into their own work".

Post-holiday anticipation!

Aug 23, 2006, 7:20am A Teardrop Explodes
Too many things to do, too many ideas, too many plans... Even if 1% out of all those little creatures that are running around my brain gets out of it into reality alive, yes, I'll be as happy as I was during my holidays. By the way, DON'T download this song: Weird Al - Don't download this song.mp3 22 years after "Eat it" (remember that hilarious scene-by-scene parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat [...]

New Damaged Lambchop

Jul 19, 2006, 6:15am A Teardrop Explodes
New Damaged Lambchop Something like 6 years ago to this day, I was at Royal Festival Hall in London and I saw for the first time live Lambchop with the company of a full strings session performing the masterpiece that is "Nixon". Before that landmark album, there was something with this weird alt-country collective from Nashville that I really liked, but since that that album and this show they have become one of my favourite ever bands. And yes, I still consider Kurt Wagner a genius of his generation of songwriters. On the 14th of [...]

Princess Diana

Princess Diana Princess Diana Krall If the previous night we had the King, last night at the Herodium Theatre in Athens we had the Princess! And although: - I was extremely tired... - I was feeling really sleepy... - I was sitting maybe in the worst sits in the theatre with really bad acoustic... - And foremost, I was sad for the -one more, hope to be last - misunderstanding with my dearest... I can assure you that the soon-to-be-mother Diana Krall, with her magnificent backing trio, was perfect! From Nat King [...]

Out Hud Out Of Here

Jul 13, 2006, 10:51am A Teardrop Explodes
According to today's Pitchfork's report , the NY's Out Hud is no more.... After 2 albums, various singles and split EPs, the band called it a day, to focus on !!! , and sophomore solo efforts. So let's pay our respect to the band who released one of my favourite album's of the previous year (Buy it here ) by dancing to their electro-punk-cello beats.

The King

Jul 13, 2006, 3:44am A Teardrop Explodes
The King The King Solomon Burke Still under his command, like noble servants of his majesty, after yesterday's evening amazing and truly moving live show in Athens. No words to describe it... If you missed it, you should shoot yourself right about NOW! From the songs that Tom Waits, Van Morrison & Bob Dylan penned for his 2002 comeback, to some of his old legendary songs like "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" and "Cry to Me" to mesmerising classics immortalised by Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Chuck Berry and Ray Charles or gospel and country standards.

Syd Barrett R.I.P.

Jul 12, 2006, 4:23am A Teardrop Explodes
Syd Barrett R.I.P. Syd Barrett 1946 - 2006 I was never a Pink Floyd fan. To be honest with you I pretty much want to punch in the face most of the Pink Floyd fans... don't ask me why, just BECAUSE. However, one of the reasons might be that I always felt that this band really died when Syd Barrett went completely out of his head and disappeared from the the public eye to stay with his mum in a village somewhere near Cambridge. He was the real thing, the british [...]

-Break-

Jul 11, 2006, 9:36am A Teardrop Explodes
It is one of those days... extremely busy in the office, totally stressed, capable of starting a fight with anybody for any stupid reason, without my usual sense of humour. Is it really worth it? Dunno... but it was my decision to stick with my current "situation" for the past three years, so I can't really say a word. Today, I should have been getting ready to go to the Rockwave Festival by now. Instead, I don't really fucking care. I can't be bothered. I prefer to go [...]

In Amon we trust!

Jul 10, 2006, 7:50am A Teardrop Explodes
Amon Tobin - Precursor
Amon Tobin - Precursor Watch one of the sickest and funniest videos ever from the great Amon Tobin, surely the best act from the Synch Festival, that took place last weekend in Laurio, Athens. Besides Amon Tobin and a few other notable exceptions, especially Animal Collective, this year's Synch Festival was a real disappointment, unfortunately... After last year's success, a real step forward for our scene, this year's awkward line up didn't attract many punters, and justified I may add... This time we can't blame the people who preferred not to go to the fest, but [...]

Bored...

... not in general, just with the old plain template of the blog. I think it's much better now, don't you agree? Getting ready for Synch Festival... I managed to destroy the zipper of my bag, while in the office. Damn... A colleague of mine, came today in the office, with a diy t-shirt with the photo of his new born baby yawning on it. I am not sure if this is cute or somehow pathetic... whatever...

Jarvis vs Cunts

Jul 6, 2006, 9:10am A Teardrop Explodes
Jarvis vs Cunts Ah, the world of technology! Just some years ago, we had to wait for radio stations to recieve promo cds from the record companies in order to listen a brand new track from our favourite major artists. Nowadays, it is just the major artist, a computer and a MySpace page. Latest example, our dear old chap Jarvis Cocker , who just a couple of days ago, he managed to upload his personal MySpace webpage, where he left a note and... his first solo effort! (Well, to be honest, I am pretty [...]

Yes, we are talking about " III ", the seminal album of Sebadoh which was originally released back in 1991. Domino [...]
