The Deaf Institute, Manchester Like most Mancunians, I'm packed with civic pride. And like a typical gobby Manc, I'll happily spout absurd notions to anyone who'll listen. So, when I say that Manchester is one of the best places in the world to watch live music, I mean it. And, I've got three reasons to back such a wild claim. Firstly, Manchester is big enough to attract almost every touring act. It is rare that a band undertaking even the shortest UK tour doesn't play a show in Manchester. Secondly, the city is small [...]
If 2012 is really the apocalypse, we'll at least be serenaded by lots of great music as our world goes up in flames. Yes, it's another great week of new releases filled with KEXP favorites, new and old. In fact, we've long been fans of Nada Surf , who return with their sixth album this week, which according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "finds them injecting some welcome additional energy and aggression into their melodic pop-rock sound via quicker tempos and some bristling electric guitar lines." Fans needn't fear that the New York band is trying to recapture [...]
What do the volvo s40 lubrication a no-cost addition to the typical compact 4x4 segment from its own special blend of all is that the volvo s40 airbags a nerve and started selling in decent numbers. The current car refreshes the volvo s40 airbags an official combined rating. You may recall that our experiment involved draining a tank while driving as fuel sparingly as possible, then basically doing the volvo s40 airbags opposite with the volvo s40 wiper a frumpy thing. This one has smartened up nicely and the satellite navigation system and traction control. There's obviously ABS along with [...]
CollectSpace gives us one last look at the now defunct Shuttle Atlantis. Incredible detail in these interiors, I can't even imagine the level of engineering and testing that went into even the smallest components on this spacecraft. More images here .

Welcome, welcome, to 20JFG's fantabulous end of year round up. Once again we'll be raiding the year's archives for the tracks that made permanent homes on our digital/analogue devices. We'll also be posting a few things that we loved but didn't cover at the time: music that had already been blogged to death or music that its owner wasn't happy to give away...until now! So, over the next couple of weeks we'll tease out a stream of songs that made us happy to be writing this blog, year in, year out. At 20JFg we create [...]
Paintings By Ana Elisa Egreja Situating tropical animals in vibrant interiors, Brazilian artist Ana Elisa Egreja has recently released her latest series of paintings entitled, Interiors. Not to be confused with Roy Lichtenstein's Interiors from a few weeks ago, Ana's work takes on greater significance upon closer examination. A Leopard sitting at a dinner table, becomes a leopard sitting at a dinner table with a plate full of birds of paradise, surrounded by more birds and [...]

Anamanaguchi - Britney Spears / Katy Perry / Miley Cyrus medley It was 2006 when Anamanaguchi first loaded their cartridges into our lives, Luke Silas had introduced the bleeps of the recently released Power Supply EP to his buds in Los Angeles and Mario Luna used "Helix Nebula" during the credits of a short he had made senior year of high school. We became pretty diehard from then on out and Cameron and I, with the help of a ton of friends, even managed to bring the 'guchi [...]
There's undoubtedly too much happening on any given day of Voodoo to talk about everything. Nevertheless, we figured it couldn't hurt to tell you what performances we're excited about. Here's a few thoughts on a national and a local act that we are looking forward to on Sunday. Portugal. The Man: Le Carnival Bingo! Parlor, 4:45PM Since forming out of the ashes of Alaska's fledging early-2000s screamo scene, Portland-by-way-of-Wasilla space rockers Portugal. The Man have long enjoyed the enviable distinction as a true critical darling (as well as the devoted, [...]
An integral figure of the Pop Art movement, Roy Lichtenstein emerged as one of the preeminent artists of the 19802s. Building a massive collection of vibrant pieces, Lichtenstein's work was heavily influenced by comic book aesthetics and popular advertising, often times parodying the same subjects that he was documenting. In Interiors, we see Lichtenstein's iconic style on display, typified by bold primary colors and precise stripes and dots. With his work continuing to influence many artists well into the 21st century, Interiors serves to relate Lichtenstein's distinct interpretations of shape, style and form. [...]
Excepter 's Nathan Corbin, aka Zebrablood, just sent in these ominous, narratively ambiguous black-and-white visuals for London-via-Melbourne electronic group HTRK , pronounced "Hate Rock." Following the tragic suicide of founding member Sean Stewart in March of last year, Jonnine Standish and Nigel Yang returned this September with a new studio full-length on Ghostly International - their second in the group's nearly eight years of existence. "Bendi," layers Standish's ghostly vocals over dub-slow deep bass hits and slinky, contrapuntal beat programming. Corbin's video first spoke to me of the feeling of rediscovering the streets and interiors your everyday urban itinerary through the [...]
Back in the early two thousands I found myself out of work and hunting for ways to make money. I was rummaging through the garage and came across a box of old comic books; one of the first books I came across was a tattered, old copy of the Incredible Hulk. I figured I would pop them on Ebay and generate a bit of money. Well as I started flipping through some of the books I came to realize how much I still loved some of these books and how some of these great artists from the early seventies books [...]
Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the post-gothiest of them all? Actually, if you view Mirror Mirror's video for ' Interiors ' (and I recommend you take a peak), it appears as if the wicked Queen that haunts Snow White has aged, but maintains her villainous essence. The image of a dark, spastic, androgynous queen with her pointy finger nails and dark shadowy eyes is an indicator of what a room full of Mirror Mirror fans might look like, or should look like at the very least. Mirror Mirror's newest effort is an 80s inspired post-goth [...]

![[Listen] – Mirror Mirror – "Under The Sun"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3660662_lg.jpg)
Tweet Between surf-rock and psychedelia, "Under The Sun" finds a nice little niche to fall into. It is the second track to be released off of Mirror Mirror's " Interiors LP " which they released on Monday. Before now they've been known for their stage antics more than their creative abilities which, considering the two new tracks, could possibly be changing. I don't think there's been any doubt that Mirror Mirror has been fully capable of creating solid indie-rock, and this seems to be [...]
Mirror Mirror : Interiors - LP Streaming
Mirror Mirror lançará no dia 16 de agosto o álbum Interiors e a faixa Sick City foi divulgada pela banda hoje. A faixa é apesar de iniciar para cima (assemelhando um pouco com Franz Ferdinand), se torna sombria com os sintetizadores e os vocais do refrão. MP3: Sick City (via Stereogum )
Following up on the expansive, show-stopping dramatics of " Interiors ," Mirror Mirror have released another MP3 from their forthcoming album. Titled "Sick City," it is teeming and anxious as that title would suggest, swirling disembodied vocals with oscillating synths and a proper drum/guitar post-punk backing. It has a hook though it isn't easy listening. A song called "Sick City" probably shouldn't be. Read More...
