Uhh, this got a bit side-tracked and I promised myself a gazillion times to finish it. But I'm now determined to finish this series soon at least before this year's festival. SATURDAY I began today after a day of music yearning for more, the first day was pretty good so I was reasonably excited. First up, after losing a friend for the morning, me and my mate TC went to see the fantasticaly energetic and probably rabid Pulled Apart By Horses. I did not know any of their stuff, but I loved [...]

(Indie Pop/Alternative/Indie Rock) Belgian Showstar have more in common with the indie pop from out of Scandanavia than they do with the indie rock bands sweeping the British charts throughout the 90s. Despite having toured throughout their 8 years together with the likes of The Rakes, The Thrills, Maximo Park and The Charlatans - to me they sound more like Finnish indie pop band 'Cats on Fire' or Swedish band 'Days' when i hear what their promo album has to offer me. Most of their 2010 [...]

I should never schedule posts on weekends because they never happen. So, for anyone who missed out of one of the lyrics of the day posts last week, here's the recap. A lot of it is about love, which tells you how girly I am. So, if you've got any obscure lyric to share, drop me an email and I'll do my best to share it to world ;) One of my faves for the past week was my Shout Out Louds selection. It's like a nice generic advice, with something really random just [...]
Field Music is a band from Sunderland, England who formed in 2004. The band's core consists of brothers David and Peter Brewis who at one time played drums for fellow Sunderland band The Futureheads . Their line-ups have at times featured members of Maximo Park . They released their eponymous debut album in 2005 and second album, Tones of Town , was released in 2007. The band had been on hiatus since, but not [...]
Hosted by the returning Good Shoes , the Hope & Future Festival promises top-quality new acts and East London alternativa in one delicious four-day swoop. Held from Wednesday 20 - Saturday 23 January in Dalston/De Beauvoir's Stag's Head , a pub and regular gig venue, the mini-fest will offer gigs each evening for the adults, plus Wednesday, Thursday and Friday matinee shows at 4.30pm for those aged 14 and above. How very civilized, eh? The line-up looks excellent and admirably London-focused. Along with Good Shoes, there's the energetic electro brouhaha of Is Tropical, Othello Woolf's louche folk/soul melancholy , Wild [...]
Och jakże niekompletna alfabetyczna lista piosenek roku 2009 Listy płyt roku kończą się zazwyczaj suplementami i dopowiedzeniami, co dopiero listy piosenek. Przedstawiamy więc luźny spis naszych ulubionych ubiegłorocznych kawałków, świadomi tego, że o niektórych zapomnieliśmy, a o innych zapomimy. Chodzi nam jednak o ogólny ogląd . Przygotowując ten silny piosenkowy skład starałem się zachować pewne proporcje (zasada max 3 piosenki na zespół obowiązuje), stąd brak niektórych ważnych utworów. Myślę jednak, że każdy dośpiewa sobie co trzeba. Możemy zaczynać. A.C. NEWMAN - [...]
... und damit sind wir fast schon in der Gegenwart. Mit dem erstellen unseres Jahresrückblicks 2009 wollten wir nämlich, genau wie mit einem letzten Rückblick auf die vergangenen zehn Jahre, wenigstens warten, bis die 1 an der vorletzten Stelle der Jahreszahl steht. Und das ist ja nun seit drei Tagen der Fall. Konzert des Jahres Schon als ich auf dem Konzert war, wusste ich, dass ich es so schnell nicht vergessen werde: Gisbert zu Knyphausen auf dem elterlichen Weingut in Eltville . Es war einfach ein zu [...]
I didn't really want to attempt a list of my favourite albums of the decade - the list for this year alone was more work than I needed. Instead, I decided to hit some of the ways this decade dealt with music - how technology has changed the musical landscape further, what globalized capitalism has done to the music industry, and what media convergence did to help out. Then as a second part, I thought I should add some of my musings on the decade as far as my own musical development goes - after all, I became an adult [...]

MGMT & Ratatat Côme 1/ Miike [...]
It was a tough call between this and the Strokes' first album, which I danced to at my school leavers' ball, throughout university, in house parties beyond and even at a friend's wedding this month, and I know I'll be dancing round my residential care home to. They reminded us that traditional cool signifiers are still the coolest - cigarettes, hair, leather, denim, staring, New York. And they made them human with a faint undertow of desperately wanting all the uncool human things - acceptance, friendship, love. And all with sensational, sneer-resistant songs. I deeply, deeply love it, and it will certainly provoke the most vivid [...]
Second part of my review of the year, my favourite ten gigs of the past year. It was so difficult this year to pick just ten! So honourable mentions to the following who didn't make it:- In particularly Doves at Coventry Kasbah, it was good to have them back; The Joy Formidable at Derby Royal, always excellent and getting better all the time; That Petrol Emotion back after 15 years away and still sounding good at the Rescue Rooms and even to Marilyn Manson who impressed me recently at the Nottingham Arena. Also regrettably [...]
Like all massive nerds and men, I like a good list. So I've spent literally hours compiling my favourite 200 tracks of the decade, while my body cries out unheeded for post-Christmas exercise. It's after the jump if you're interested, but first here's a few downloads of tunes from it that haven't been featured on any list I've seen, but should have been. First this, from Tortoise. The inquisitive child of a riff, the porno-soundtrack rhythm guitar, the splattering drums, the hip hop breakdown - it's all perfect. Tortoise - Monica Next is this [...]
2009 was an interesting year in music. We witnessed the triumphant return of The Prodigy , Muse , a-ha and The Bravery , the death of Michael Jackson and the split of Oasis ... not to mention the disappointing offering from a certain Basildon trio (Yawning of the Universe anyone?). Newcomers White Lies , War Tapes , The Anomalies and Me My Head haunted my iPod and and The Cure picked up the 2009 NME Godlike Genius award from Hollywood director Tim Burton - [...]
Naast de traditionele eindejaarslijsten zijn ook de eindejaarsmixen niet van de lucht. Eerder kwam de eindejaarsmix van 5 Amsterdamse dubstep-dj's al voorbij, en per digitale post kwamen ook jaarmixen van Herrfer (dubstep) en Mykaz (techno, dubstep en andere elektronica) voorbij. Hartstikke leuk natuurlijk, maar we horen ook graag welke jaarmixen er nog meer online zijn verschenen en het beluisteren waard zijn. Help daarom mee via de reacties bij dit bericht. Alvast bedankt! Ps: naast jaarmixen hebben we ook nog een mooi overzicht met muzikale kerstcadeaus . Allemaal gratis, allemaal [...]
