Kick off your Memorial Day weekend with a very special edition of Global A Go-Go: a live, in-studio performance by Carbon Leaf. They're back home in Richmond after a Navy Entertainment tour that took them to Bahrain (pictured above), Djibouti and aboard the USS Eisenhower in the Red Sea. Carbon Leaf is one of the most accomplished and successful bands that Richmond has produced in the last 20 years. While no one has ever called them a "world music" act (of course, lots of people think my program isn't a "world music" show either, starting with [...]
Where are you, Fiona Apple? After a banner 2012, the singer-songwriter recently cancelled her only scheduled appearance for 2013, at Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival; she also torpedoed a slew of South American tour dates late last year with no signs of rescheduling on the horizon. Of course, we shouldn't be surprised - disappearance is part and parcel of Apple's career trajectory. Apple says she rarely ventures outside her Los Angeles home, except when visiting the L.A. club Largo, where she occasionally hops on stage with pal and resident performer Jon Brion. She doesn't drive and claims there [...]
With the video for Starlight Girls' noise-pop track "73," we learn that the best way to prep for battle is to take a big bite out of a tomato. Dressed in matching throwback dresses and plastic pearls, two girls take to a Brooklyn roof to sword fight while the Xiu Xiu-produced track plays. I won't tell you how it ends, but my money was on the girl with the red tomato. Gotta get that lycopene from red fruits and vegetables, guys. Check out the video below. Read More... [...]
Marta Lwin, Rhian Solomon e Heide Hatry partilham um gosto improvável. Através dos seus trabalhos artísticos, elas comprovam que a pele é mais do que um simples órgão para os humanos. Jóias, tecidos impressos e cabeças sinistras são o resultado do trabalho de cada uma das artistas, que trazem novas perspectivas à discussão. Afinal, o que é a pele? Ler o artigo completo [...]
Daft Punk's masterful new album Random Access Memories takes its time in getting anywhere, but this hasn't stopped the French duo from getting their own formula one racecar. Columbia, the duo's label, is a partner with Team Lotus F1, the British racing team, and a new YouTube video shows the robots walking toward a formula one car that appears to bear their logo. Hard to say from all this, but it appears that the Daft Punk racecar is racing in the Grand Prix De Monaco, an annual race that starts today. Watch the short [...]
" U.O.E.N.O. ," the recent single from the Atlanta rapper Rocko, earned itself a ton of unwanted notoriety in recent months: It's the song where Rick Ross bragged about date rape. So consider this a reclamation. All four members of L.A.'s furiously exciting Black Hippy supergroup - Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock - have teamed up for a spazzed-out, fired-up remix of the track. Download it below. Read More... [...]
On their staggering new album Sunbather , the San Fransisco metal explorers Deafheaven fuse black metal to shoegaze, creating mind-warping 10-minute odysseys of sound that are vast enough to get lost in. It's a hell of an album, and I don't think Michael will mind if I tell you that it's his favorite LP of the year thus far. (Michael's off today because he's on his way to the Maryland Death Fest, so his opinion on a metal album should carry some weight.) We've already posted the opener " Dream House " and the title track , and [...]
Toronto's Arts & Crafts turns ten this year and they're doing a number of things to celebrate, including the release of X a compilation of collaborative tracks from artists throughout the label. The comp will feature tracks from Feist, Stars, Chilly Gonzalez, and this track, "Day Of The Kid" from Broken Social Scene and Years. The song is ascendent and immersive, warm and building, the kind of thing that endeared BSS to so many. While the band may be on an indefinite hiatus, one of the A&C10 will include at one-night only performance from the group at [...]
It's been a while since we've heard anything from Ernest Greene, the gloopy Georgia-based synth auteur who records as Washed Out. But his 2011 debut album Within And Without was one of the best things that came out of the whole chillwave movement (even if it did hit stores after that whole thing had already faded). And later this summer, he'll follow that album up with a new one called Paracosm . On this one, he once again worked with Within And Without producer Ben Allen, probably best-known for Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion [...]
An enthusiastic 1,200 folks danced at the sold-out Majestic Ventura Theater, soaking up a twenty-one song set by Arctic Monkeys who are doing a handful of dates across the States before their headlining slot at Glastonbury. They kicked off the show with a new song "Do I Wanna Know?" (watch below) before digging up older gems like "Fake Tales Of San Francisco" and "Dancing Shoes." Check out the photo gallery above and the setlist below. Read More... [...]
Andrew Cedermark, the former Titus Andronicus guitarist and veteran of the home-recording limited-cassette-tape universe, is about to release his new album Home Life, and the songs we've heard from it are bigger, fuller, and prettier than anything he's done before. We already posted the luminous early track " Canis Major ," and now "At Home," another track from the album, turns out to be a quiet and reserved anthem, with resigned lyrics about lost childhood and a combination of surging guitar and honking harmonica that recalls prime Springsteen. It's a great song, and you can hear it below. [...]
Os Mão Morta são a confirmação de última hora do Optimus Primavera Sound. A banda de Adolfo Luxúria Canibal subirá ao palco ATP no dia 31 de Maio, sexta-feira. Mas as novidades não se ficam por aqui: o Hard-Club volta a receber as AFTER HOURS do festival, acessível aos detentores de passe geral e de bilhete diário para sexta feira, 31 de Maio, e sábado, 1 de Junho, que têm entrada livre no Hard-Club das 6h às 11h, até a lotação das salas se encontrar completa. Assim sendo, o Hard Club recebe na madrugada de sexta para sábado Juan Maclean [...]
The New York indie-pop band Caveman rounded up a pretty impressive cast for their video for " In The City ," the first single from their self-titled sophomore album. The clip stars Julia Stiles and the Dollhouse actor Fran Kranz as a tourist couple visiting New York, and it looks like a fun visit before a creepy hotel bellhop gets involved and things take a darker turn. Philip Di Fiore directs; watch it below. Read More... [...]
Last night, a night after they served as musical guests on Letterman , the National returned to TV, bringing their debonair and sophisticated gloom-rock to The Colbert Report . On Letterman , though, nobody expected them to sit for an interview. And on Colbert , the clearly nervous-as-fuck singer Matt Berninger had to speak on camera to Stephen Colbert, who proceeded to murder him for being a boring interview. (For the record, I've interviewed Berninger before, and I found him to be a delightful talker. But he probably wasn't nervous to talk to [...]
Sexo e gênero são coisas distintas. Ser masculino não depende da constituição biológica de cada um, mas, sim, da construção de uma identidade. Ou seja, é algo intangível. São as convenções sociais que fazem com que nos enquadremos em algum gênero. E é a moda, o vestuário, uma das principais formas que sempre tivemos de nos expressar socialmente. Porque nós, seres humanos, somos muito limitados para lidar com o intangível. Ler o artigo completo [...]

Para o número 100 da Videoteca Bodyspace não fizemos por menos, não olhamos para trás -- apenas para baixo. Fomos até ao ponto mais alto da cidade do Porto e convidamos Emmy Curl a mostrar-nos uma das canções do seu cada vez mais amplo repertório. Com vistas privilegiadas para a cidade do Porto, no 14º andar do Hotel Miradouro, num cenário digno de cinema, Catarina Miranda deu vida a "Turn off the light", mostrando toda a pureza -- e beleza - que existe na sua jovem voz. Pouco antes de o sol desaparecer no horizonte, Emmy Curl falou-nos de ausência, [...]
