J'ai reçu un jour un pitit coup derrière la casquette en lisant une chronique de disques dans les Inrockuptibles écrite par jdieubeauvallet. Ce dernier vantait le premier essai discographique d'un trio français, signé sur un label anglais ( Loaf Recordings ) et dont je n'avais jamais entendu parler. Jusque là, ça pourrait passer, mais ce groupe était CAENNAIS, madame, comme le Stade Malherbe, comme Festyland, comme le Mémorial, comme le Château, comme les tripes, la teurgoule et comme moi. Purée de coq, j'me suis dit, c'est pas dieu possible... Et le nom du groupe en question, [...]
The Guardian calls the takeover of the Big Chill by Reading-Leeds promoter Festival Republic "quiet" - which is true; it happened in September after the owners went bust. Still, I don't see what everyone's worried about - it's not like Glastonbury got noticeably more corporate and lost touch with itself after FR got involved there, right? [Co-founder Katrina] Larkin said Festival Republic would provide much-needed financial security and logistical knowhow, leaving her to focus on the creative side of the festival. "I needed to protect the Big Chill, I needed to take it into [...]
I Black Lips sono 4 ragazzi di Atlanta ben noti al loro pubblico soprattutto per l'attitudine sporca, cacionara e casinista dei loro concerti. Per chi di voi si fosse, per puro caso, trovato nella folla innaffiata di birra durante il festival di Benicassim del 2008, di fianco ad un ragazzo completamente nudo che si chiedeva dove fossero finiti i suoi vestiti, sarebbe leggittimo aspettarsi un convolgimento simile anche stasera al MusicDrome di Milano. Invece sin dall'arrivo, stranamente puntuale, dei quattro sulla scena, si intuisce che l'etilometro del gruppo viaggia su ritmi meno pericolosi del solito. Lo capisce anche [...]
Festival 8 ( more pictures by Fresh Bread ) Dead heads and pot heads take note . While the straight economy goes up in smoke with double digit unemployment, job prospects for hippies are booming -- and not just for boomers. At the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC) they're looking to hire an official Grateful Dead archivist. And in Denver, where Colorado's medical marijuana industry is legally flourishing, there are these two recent job postings: The alternative newspaper Westword is [...]

The xx + jj = whoa. This is not an algebra problem, though it may solve the puzzle of who jj is. The mysterious Swedish group, who have never revealed their identities, are making their U.S. debut this fall with another electronic band of the moment, the xx. Will they play behind a curtain? A U.K.-based electro group, the xx are making many Best of 2009 lists with their self-titled debut, and are touring with Friendly Fires this year and Hot Chip next April. The [...]

i was one of the lucky 50,000 or so who got to see nirvana's second performance at the reading festival in 1992. it was my first visit, just for the day, and i'll never forget bouncing up and down with everyone else to "in bloom" trying to save my reading fest poster from getting crushed while clutching a plastic bag containing this great indie compilation cd. put together by melody maker, it's a pretty good survey of the early 90s indie scene with a good smattering of bands demonstrating the scene's inherent quirkiness. so i'm glad it didn't [...]

By DL and Frank Phosphate FRIDAY Mary Anne Hobbs / Blixaboy / Pandai'a / Royal Highnuss /VJ S (eye) Plus Unified Minds /Gallery Cat/ MC Astro / Bodega Brothas (Outside) (Green Elephant): Pretty big catch for Dallas to have such a prominent figure of both Dubstep as well as the BBC here all the way from London. Hobbs played music by Wanz Dover's Blixaboy project on her influential show, which is what eventually led to this event, and it's good to see [...]

Guess this is the sort of stuff you will find under the tree this Christmas - if you have been bad. I'd rather have a gift card, you know? Anyway - here are some new efforts from Big Superstars who are still trying to get your hard-earned money this holiday season, although you need it way more than they do. Norah Jones has sold a zillion albums but she has really put out only four, and The Fall is certainly her liveliest album to date. She's kinda wanting to [...]
When two legendary frontmen get together for a discussion, the result is often a must-watch clip for rock disciples. In this case, Jon Spencer (he of Blues Explosion , Boss Hog , Heavy Trash , and Pussy Galore), and Ian Svenonius (of Nation of Ulysses, the Make Up, and Chain & the Gang) got together at Kutsher's Country Club in upstate New York at this year's All Tomorrows Parties festival. Svenonius' unique demeanor and interview style are matched against Spencer's encyclopedic knowledge of classic blues and rock 'n' roll. Among the topics they discuss: Ike [...]

Hmm. Can't decide what's more of a no-brainer, 'Wearing My Rolex' or 'Take That'? Matter of fact is, I got no words left for post grime detours like this. We all know by now that I'm kinda... fed up. But the great mass seems to like and buy it so well, guess all good in the hood as long as Wiley gets money in his pocket... However, 'Take That' will be out the 28th of December and if u long for grime, well, there's a new Roll Deep album in the making, and the first single [...]
