![Coldplay / Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1122642_lg.jpg)
Coldplay Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends Parlophone, Capitol June 12, 2008 Coldplay are one of the most popular pop-rock bands nowadays. After three albums of emotive songs, Chris Martin and his troupe have played everywhere. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends has been partly recorded in Barcelona, even though the influence of this city (musically-wise) on the album is based on Latin percussions and a few other tiny details. [...]
Times New Viking I remember we didn't review their last album because we didn't know how to analyze it properly. I wasn't very excited about it either but I heard they have a great show so I decided to give them a chance. No regrets. They were astonishing, even if they had those technical problems with the guitar that slowed down the concert a little bit. Port O'Brien Not bad, not bad. It wasn't a really exciting concert (especially if you were coming from Times New Viking) but it was decent enough. [...]
![Tilly And The Wall / O [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1114704_lg.jpg)
Tilly And The Wall O Team Love June 17, 2008 I love both records Tilly And The Wall have made so far - 'Wild Like Children' with it's 60's melodies produced by Conor Oberst and sophomore record 'Bottoms of Barrels' with it's youthful pop songs and Mexican mariachi twee-ness . 'O', produced by Mike Mogis (of Bright Eyes), is just as uplifting. The fact that Tilly And The Wall are signed to Oberst's independent record label Team Love makes 'O' [...]
"My Only Offer" is their second video from their new album Re-Arrange us
![Wolf Parade / At Mount Zoomer [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1109538_lg.jpg)
Wolf Parade At Mount Zoomer Sup Pop June 17, 2008 This is a good example of a good alternative indie rock album, with great sounding guitar and some good hooks. Recorded in a church in Montreal owned by the Arcade Fire, it's pretty impossible for Wolf Parade to make their sophomore album anything below interesting at least, and they've totally succeeded , creating some great textures and Arcade Fire-esque melodies on the piano and vocals. It's a [...]
![Moscow Olympics / Cut The World [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1109539_lg.jpg)
Moscow Olympics Cut The World Lavender June 11, 2008 It seemed almost impossible by the time to find something else to play in the stereo as you drove along the shore on Phillipines watching the ocean about to swallow and put you through eternity . Perfect synchronization between every rhythmic cell in your body, your car and the music would make for a perfect resonance that was sure to put the world on hold, the shore always closer and the road [...]
![Sigur Rós / Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1104865_lg.jpg)
Sigur Rós Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust Beggars XL Recordings June 8, 2008 ( Free Album Stream ) Be careful, everything you do to stand out from the rest, to individuate yourself and construct your own sound, will be the key to your further dematerialization . Keep the outside, common business world outside and artfully craft an interior universe; everything you choose will be included, from gigantic tubas to violin sections riding the straight beat of a [...]
Holly Golightly They couldn't do any sound check before the concert due to technical problems, so everything was kind of improvised. The show was nothing special but I really like three or four of the songs they played and they are the funniest guys ever. I still think that was an outdoors show. They are not quiet enough to play in an auditorium. Russian Red I saw the last three songs and it was pretty disappointing, not because of her, but because of CD Drome stage awful sound. She needs an [...]
![The Futureheads / This Is Not The World [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1100780_lg.jpg)
The Futureheads This Is Not The World Megaforce June 3, 2008 When I was 14 years old, I totally loved this band. Their songs 'Hounds of Love' and 'Decent Days and Nights' were constantly playing on my stereo – but over time, things change, and since it's been over two years since I've listened to their music, I wasn't expecting to exactly fall in love with their new record. 'The [...]
![My Morning Jacket / Evil Urges [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1099513_lg.jpg)
My Morning Jacket Evil Urges ATO June 10, 2008 "Honey it's rotten and they got us so scared/Thinking there's some evil waiting under vain." That's the first line Kentucky rockers My Morning Jacket decided to put on their new album. After three years and a big change after Z , an album filled with synthesizers and those weird dub moods, Evil Urges is a breath of fresh [...]

Bonnie "Prince" Billy Lie Down In The Light Drag City May 20, 2008 Warm autumn sunshine shining on your lovers cheek as you "Lie Down In The Light". This is most definately a autumn record, lay on a blanket as you watch the coulours of ambers, yellows, and different shades of browns of the rustling oak leaves that are yet to fall from the trees, then further up to the whispy clouds floating by in the [...]
![The Delta FIasco live @ FGAA (Bogotá) [05.6.2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1095908_lg.jpg)
While everybody else is enjoying their summer festivals, thousands of bands together in parks full people, you can always expect to spend a sunny day in Bogotá and find yourself jumping and dancing to an amazing band by night. Because summer also happens here, even if it's just for three days in a row. Walk the streets of the old city and plan ahead, you'll have some free time in your hands and some profound considering to do; eat a cheap slice of pizza and read a book, it's a long way from here to total disintegration. Even [...]
On last night's episode of The Best Show , Ted Leo and host Tom Scharpling took lyric suggestions from listeners and in under two hours, wrote a song out of them! "The World is in The Turlet" can be streamed here . Or click here to listen to the entire show and their songwriting process.
I'll Kill Her My Wet Dreams (Live) Don't you already love this French girl? She says in her myspace she hasn't released any record yet but she's working on it. Thanks to Šarlote for recommending me this promising new talent. - Grey
This festival is the best thing that happened to me this year so far. I had a lot of fun there and, even though I'd like to write some detailed chronicle, I think I'm not able to do so; too much to remember, too much beer, even too much Jägermeister. That being said, I'll just make a brief comment about every band I saw there. MGMT It was one of the first concerts taking place the first day of the festival, so we couldn't expect the same from them than from bands playing around [...]

![Book: Christine Falls [2006]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1085972_lg.jpg)
Christine Falls by Benjamin Black When the Booker-Prize-winning, seriously literary Irish writer John Banville came out with this mystery novel in 2006, under a new pen name—and declared it would be the first in a series, no less—critics seemed to appreciate the idea and rewarded Banville/Black with praise for writing a kind of literary-mystery hybrid. In the end, the book succeeds as neither. While it contains many well-written scenes, and is certainly [...]
![My Brightest Diamond live @ La [2] (Barcelona) [5.27.2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1085331_lg.jpg)
Primavera Sound is here! Yesterday we enjoyed the first warm-up concert before the very festival starts this Thursday. My Brightest Diamond played an excellent gig for a small crowd of 200 people (approximately). But before them, we could listen to two other bands. The first one was a covers band called Abrevadero (local band from Barcelona). They cover some well-known artists (Tom Waits, Cat Power and even Vampire Weekend) in a country-folk way. They have banjos, harmonicas and some other weird instruments to transform all those songs to their style. Although they made some mistakes while playing their [...]
