'O Superman' Laurie Anderson to utwór niepokojący, drażniący i piękny (trudne słowo). Z jednej strony vocoderowe wokale i jego zdehumanizowane brzmienie aż proszą o kolejne elektroniczne interpretacje, z drugiej - fatalistyczno-apokaliptyczny nastrój sprawia, że próby przeniesienia go w kontekst klubowy dają nieco groteskowe efekty . Love will tear us apart. Jeśli jednak koniecznie chcemy zatańczyć z Laurie, bezpieczniej jest wyrwać utwór z kontekstu, znaczenia. Pobawić się jedynie wizjonerskim brzmieniem (1982!) i włączyć je w taneczny rytm. Fajowo robi to Riton. So you better get... [...]

Tony Coulter here, with a fourth post from Portland -- this time bringing you sights and sounds from Oregon and from that other solidly Northwestern state, Washington. All LPs, by the way, were found by me since moving here, and all tracks are things I would have played on FMU. As a special bonus, I'll also show you two strange artifacts I brought with me from my longtime Brooklyn home.... Before I get started, I should tell you that the image of Seattle's Space Needle seen above was created by Jim Cherry for [...]

The Feelies Crazy Rhythms Jonathan Demme's 1986 film, Something Wild , starring Jeff Daniels , Melanie Griffith and an unhinged Ray Liotta , also features The Feelies covering David Bowie 's Fame . The bassist seems to be particularly camera-shy, and the group is called The Willies in the film. Check out those white bucks that Daniels is soft-shoeing it on the dancefloor with! This film's arguably in the same genre as Martin Scorsese 's [...]
Nerden nereye.. Indie müziğin star kemancası Owen Pallett yenisi Heartland ile hem Laurie Anderson'a daha yaklaşıyor hem de senenin en iyi 10 albümünden birine // orkestrasyondaki zarafet, yumuşak homoerotizm, lirik performans // yılın en bal albümü bu MP3 : Owen Pallett - Midnight Directives
'Cousins' is excellent: fast, catchy and ultra rhythmic Afropop, as smart as their previous kwassa kwassa efforts but this time it's a less self-conscious deployment of their influences. Drummer Chris Tomson deserves massive props for his incredibly fast and energetic pounding. Shame 'California English Part 2' on the flip lets things down. Its programmed synth beats and electronic drums remind you of Laurie Anderson but the vocals are pure Sting. I guess b-sides are where you hide your mistakes.
The hard-edged underground Bushwick band Lady Magma wowed us last summer when they headlined our very first showcase. Just check out their performance of "Bangkok" below" for evidence. Now the five-piece band have just released their first album, produced by Wharton Tiers who has worked with Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., and Laurie Anderson. Wow. The album perfectly captures everything that is great about Lady Magma. Potent punk songs interwoven around a sort-of theatrical cabaret center, which undoubtedly stems from lead singer Andrea Mersits' theatre background in Australia. The result is a complexly [...]

It's a little difficult to believe another whole year has passed since I started this blog - in January, CTRR will hit its second birthday. Once again, I didn't make a weekly mix for every week this year, though I tried to make up for as many as I could. In this part of the series, there are mixes with themes of: lullaby/sleep, Scotland, colours, John Peel, work/unemployment, Valentine's Day, underdogs, cover versions, synthpop, Wales, Ireland, dance, spring, paranoia, and science fiction. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my friend, Roland, who has [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive , Canada Rufus Wainwright and other members of his clan will celebrate Christmas in London this year when the family brings their annual holiday show to Royal Albert Hall on Dec. 9. As has been the case in past years when the likes of Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson made cameos, this year's gig promises to be another spectacular affair. In fact, even Rufus doesn't quite know what to expect. [...]
Like most American kids, I went to camp during the summer. From age 7 to 10 I did all the usual camp things; rode horses, shot arrows, rock climbed and made lumpy ashtrays for the non-smoking parentals in ceramics. Another campfire tradition, in between state-mandated Kum Ba Yas , were ghost stories. Yet another year where our counselor attempted to give us the Gold Arrow camp canard about the B-17 pilot who plunged into the lake, and now whose ghost still haunted the area. By 9 years of age our cabin wasn't buying it, we [...]

This week's disaster theme came from a conversation I had with Blueback Birthday Boy Dylan last night, but for the life of me I can't remember how we got onto the subject of total cock-ups. I was DJing though, so maybe that had something to do with it. Actually, I know I've had an uneasy relationship with DJing in the past, but last night's effort was brilliant fun. It's all rather dependent on the occasion with me - too much of a dancefloor and it doesn't suit the general miserablism I'm into, whereas if it's supposed to be [...]

9-12 work; 12-1 lunch; 1-2:30 work; 2:30-3:30 tea; 3:30-5 work; 5-11 pub; now-now Monday Mail. What is Monday Mail? How was everyone's Halloween? Mine was NUTS! It was filled with music, party-hoppin' and cops. SUCCESS! I thought maybe people would be interested in something a bit different this time around and the inbox was happy to oblige. Brooke at Big Hassle writes: Omo's The White Album is an album full of spiky little pop gems. A little like Laurie [...]
