I finally joined twitter . My user name is djtalbot. I really don't like everyone to know what I am doing every minute and that's why I don't like facebook. At least I have total control on what gets posted on twitter. I am following Leo LaPorte and Scoble. Steven Bourelle (owner of sierravisions.com) Veronica Belmont, twit and dl.tv are the only other people I have found so far. I'd like to meet more people, especially from Sweden. http://odeo.com/channel/544823 /view I just to get this link a lil exposure. I a re-listening to a [...]
From their myspace page: Punk with synth meets bluesy shreds meets dark riffs meets the backdoor man with a kazoo. Listen to " Action Bastard " by Retreat To The Wall.
Another cover, this one from 1997. Ian Broudie / The Lightning Seeds take on The Turtles' 1968 hit " You Showed Me " (This song was written in 1964 by Harold Eugene Clark and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds). Sing along! (Jim McGuinn - Gene Clark) You showed me how to do Exactly what you do How I fell in love with you Oh, oh, oh, it's true Oh, oh, I love you [...]
Labrador signs The Sound of Arrows (free MP3) Labrador is proud to present The Sound of Arrows - the band that will lead Swedish pop into the next decade. With the deepest love possible they gather sounds and samples from all over and turn them into lush pop songs with exquisitely beautiful melodies. Download MP3 here >> http://www.labrador.se/mp3/the soundofarrows-danger.mp3 The Sound of Arrows treat their own songs like remixes and will present their releases almost like mixtapes. Their approach to music bare some similarity to Saint Etienne around "Foxbase Alpha" or [...]
I am in North Carolina, 2100 miles from home. I will return soon. I should have a posting or two by Friday.
I have been a registered process server for 8 years. I was assigned to serve a man that lived on a rural property in the Jamul area of San Diego County. This was a few years ago. The defendant eluded me, but I did end up serving him by driving through an open gate on his ranch and serving a tenant. Turns out I actually did meet him, but he lied and said he did not know who I was looking for. Last year, I learned that the man shot and killed someone on his property a couple years after [...]
As a DM, I am saddened by this AP report: MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69. He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax. Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly shaped dice became a hit, particularly among teenage boys, and [...]
(from Drowned In Sound ) The original members of Killing Joke will reform for the first time since 1987 for a new studio album and world tour. Paul Ferguson has been absent the longest, leaving the band in 1987, while bassist and now producer, sometime member with The Orb, DJ and "druid" (this, part two) Martin 'Youth' Glover returns after almost 15 years to complete the original rhythm section, reports Blabbermouth. With vocalist/keyboardist Jaz Coleman and guitarist Geordie Walker also in tow, the band will play a couple of nights in most cities they call [...]
I played this song on my December 2007 Shoegaze Podcast, and it met well with the audience. This is bona-fide Classic 80's track. Dirty On Purpose - Send Me Angel http://www.zshare.net/audio/83 367608e6890f/
I just followed a link on myspace regarding the wonderful electronic act "Ostrich" (featured on my podcast Like Sugar)....it's an interview! Check it out: http://www.musik.terrorverlag. de/interviews.php?id=563
http://www.labrador.se/mp3/clu b8-jesus_walk_with_me-remix_by _jimahl.mp3 CLUB 8 - JESUS, WALK WITH ME (Jimahl Remix) - MP3 The first offering in a short series of remixes of Club 8's "Jesus, walk with me". As the song shows the duo in their most wistful & melancholic mood it's fair to say it's not obvious choice for a remix. Never the less, Stockholm's Jimahl handles the task beautifully. "Jimahl's 8-minute remix settles into chill-out mode at the start, with Komstedt's voice criss-crossed by sleepy four-four beats, prominent bass, and sighing electronics. More percussion and melodic snippets join as the song heads [...]
</a I should re-post this mix. I listened to a few of my Faction-6 mixes tonight. Good stuff. I miss Gabriel. I miss his art. Except this was my art, or attempt at it. I stole this pic from a real artist....looks cool though, no?
I just received a nice message via myspace from Root Valdez. They offer teases of their tracks on the page (I want whole songs! "Through The Fields" is so beautiful....organic and yet, not)! I got goosebumps or goose-pimples. Or acne. Ah, trip-hop....
Ummm... this is really late, but who's counting? So, let's just download another lovely cover, okay? This week it's Apoptygma Berserk covering Keane! The track is bend and break. Remember, Keane is the band with no guitar....Apop adds guitar and a wee bit more electronics. z-share link: Apoptygma Berserk - Bend and Break http://www.zshare.net/audio/81 17465009c9d2/
Imagine if The Ramones traded in their leather jackets for anoraks, or Stephen Pastel actually threw Aggi off the bridge and married Black Tambourine's Pam Berry and had four babies that formed a pop band in 2007. Meet The Pains of Being Pure at Heart , a New York four-piece who plays dreamy, noisy POP with boy/girl vocals, blissful melodies and blistering drums. I wonder if this "Love Is ****ing Right" is a take on The Field Mice's "This Love Is Not Wrong"? Maybe I'll play 'em back to back on the next Like [...]
