Aus gegebenen Anlass und nur für kurze Zeit ein Bild für die netten Leser der Schallgrenzen:

So, das war es dann wohl. Jetzt kann ich nur noch zum Abschied meine Hose runterlassen, und damit allen Sympathisanten, Bands, Lesern und Bloggern auf dem Wege des Pop Songs recht herzlich danken. Ab jetzt wieder in Deutsch und mit deutlich weniger Pathos im Abschied. Wir sehen uns demnächst und in Farbe gelegentlich auf den grenzenlosen und überaus ambitionierten Schallgrenzen ! PS: Die Emailadresse bleibt bestehen! Über Promos für die Schallgrenzen freue ich selbstverständlich immer noch.

... turning the key, mumbling something incomprehensible, he stood there turning his head to the right, to the left and for a short moment seemed to hesitate. Unsure of what he should do, a familiar feeling grows within his chest. He had been here before. More than once. There is nor there will be no coming back this time. Insufficiancy leaves a bitter taste. It' s of no use, every further attempt would be failing and nothing but a well intentioned but nostalgic and therefore avoidable waste of time. There it was, undoubtely, the end of something. Dried dust [...]

Sorry, still out of the pop office. Blogging bores me currently. Just back from buzzing dirty old New York now heading south, climbing mountains, hiking the valleys, breathing the summer... Coming back in a short while. Until then something recommended : The Big Pink - Velvet MP3 The Black Heart Procession - Rats MP3 Kites with Lights - Dream Attack (New Order Cover) MP3 Mew - Repeaterbeater MP3 Photograph: Benedikt

Sorry for the currently speechless blog. Got a busy week and I'm just heading NYC for a few days... Till my return (problably totally swineflued) enjoy the new summeresc and lighthearted sounding Evan Voytas single and the nice cover of the Cure's A few hours after this.

Today is a sunny day. Today is my birthday. And today it is time to publish the 50th MP3-Mix of the Last Pop Song.

Bands who are friends and companions of Beware of Safety, Empty Rooms and Tristeza can't be bad. Shall I proof? Try the songs from the debut of Signal Hill here and feel comfortable. Instrumental melodic postrocking soundscapes and songs lacking of aggressive moments and behaviour. Well done. Signal Hill - The dead Vineyard MP3 Signal Hill - Men before us MP3

Thank you very much! I appreciate the posthumus publication of the second album from australian dreampop/shoegaze influenced Ides of Space on Betterlooking Records . The 2001 album was only published in Japan and than more or less lost. Until now. Despite that fact it worth to mention, that the members of Ides of Space are now playing well under the name of Line Drawings again. Ep to come next time... Ides of Space - Past Midnight MP3 Ides of Space - I Promise Not To Notice If You [...]

New Album Tertia to come!!!!

Get the well done (and free) EP "Islands" from the New Numbers . Brooklyn based indierock without the somtimes slightly overdriven NYC attidude, playing with a bit of late 70's and postpunkish elements, melodic guitar based indierock and therefore worth being heard beneath the NYC borders. New Numbers - Islands EP (ZIP)

Well done, Bird Automatic ! The new EP from the sympathic band from down under reflects their notable qualities in songwriting. A sound not far away from easily associated Death Cab for Cutie. Nice, well played melodic indiepop at it's best. One track from the really good EP here and don't forget: Watch out, they are recommended! Bird Automatic - Drew A Line MP3

What a concert! Just visited the performance of the canadian ambientdroner of Nadja and Thisquietarmy. What a show! In a industrial ruin landscape of the former Bahnausbesserungswerk in Leverkusen in company of about 30 strange, wierd visitors and freaks problably living deep down under the surface we had the pleasure to listen and therefore being captured by the ambient guitar drones of congenial and unbelievable productive Aidan Baker, his two piece Nadja and Thisquietarmy , which is nothing but the solo project of the great Destroyalldreamers guitarist Eric Quach. Don't hesitate [...]

Safeashome - Hateful Town MP3 Safeashome - A Second replayed Murder MP3 Nugazetime again: After the great debut here 7" news from shoegazing and dreaming french Safeashome! Etheral and of course from Safranin .

Although a few years to late, check out the debut album from the dark, fuzzed and psychotic sounding Darker my Love. Best described as shoegazing BRMC mixed with a portion of Dandy Warhols. Comparisons just to get imagination of these great psychrock band. I'm impressed and convinced! Get there second album in a way you should: Pay for it! These appetizing one is free.
