If you've never heard about Buffet Libre (which I find really hard to believe) you know that they've been responsible of the most amazing projects in the past few years. After such a large success Buffet Libre has join hands with Amnesty International for one of their biggest and most important projects, the project is called "Peace" and it compiles artist of 50 countries into one compilation, the proceeds from the album will go directly to Amnesty International. Here are a few samples of what this compilation will have as well as the line up of artist and [...]
Spain's Buffetlibre DJs are busy guys, when not DJing, reMixing, producing and spearheading some of the more interesting multi-artist projects around are throwing their weight behind Amnesty International to highlight human rights abuses around the world. To highlight the worldwide injustices that AA work so hard to stop Buffetlibre's unique concept for their charity compilation album is to create a 'musical atlas' featuring many and varied artists from around the globe. Such as the first 'single' from the album. 'Mike' by Ivri Lider , one of Israel's most successful singer/songwriters, with this [...]
The Buffetlibre duo have come up with an impressively unique concept for their PEACE compilation album that is due for release on 1st March - creating a musical atlas of the world with songs from each and every corner (or at least from more than 50 countries). These aren't just unknown artists either, they've got Voxtrot from the USA, Official Secrets Act from the UK, The Hidden Cameras form Canada, The Toxic Avenger form France plus many other less recognisable but no less impressive acts from Lebanon to [...]
Our friend Marc from Buffetlibre ( http://www.buffetlibredjs.net ), Barcelona just got in contact with us regarding their new project called PEACE , in collaboration with Amnesty International that will be released digitally on March 1, 2010 and one which we will be a media collaborator. All proceeds from the sale of the compilation will go to Amnesty International's campaigns on human rights. Although we are primarily an electronic music blog and this isn't, we still can't say no to giving a helping hand. [...]

Antony & The Johnsons, Patrick Wolf, Jeff Buckley, Owen Pallet, Arcade Fire, Rufus Wainwright ..Podemos citar muitas bandas e artistas como possíveis inspiradores e/ou influências para o som dessa banda inglesa. Mas se fosse fácil assim, o The Irrepressibles seria mais uma banda em muitas. Mirror Mirror é uma combinação tempestuosa de osquestrações luxuosas, vocais murmurantes e melodias líricas. Tudo isto devidamente tocado sobre o véu de uma atmosfera que ecoa música barroca e um clima fantasmagórico. Mirror Mirror é um punhado de canções executadas com extrema paixão por 10 excelentes músicos. "In Your Eyes","Anvil","Forget [...]

I met Marius Drogsås Hagen a few years ago in Norway, in a small town north of Oslo. The common denominator which got us talking all night was, of course, music. In spite of Jaqueline , his 'main' band, starting to get a lot of exposure at the time, he was developing ideas for two projects (one a solo project called Team Me , the second a band, SiN , started with Tord from the Wombats ). Three years and many written songs later, I followed him into a hijacked school he [...]

Chart courtesy of The Economist 01. Azari & III, "Reckless (With Your Love)" [ Permanent Vacation ] ( buy ) With the deluge of year end lists finally petering out I've finally had a chance to dig into music released at the end of 2009 that was overlooked. There's no better place to start than with Azari & III's irresistible tune, "Reckless (With Your Love)," one of the year's few house anthems. In keeping with the old school instrumentation and track structure, [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. 'Once' is the debut single from X Factor 2008 finalist Diana Vickers , and you can listen to it by clicking on the player below. Marmite-voiced Vickers has been working with the likes of Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, 'What It Feels Like For A Girl', Britney Spears, 'Everytime'); Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol); Nerina Pallot (who is also working with Kylie at the moment); Starsmith (FrankMusik, Ellie Goulding); plus indie darlings Patrick Wolf and Lightspeed Champion on her debut album. Sounds promising, but can [...]

Owen Pallett Heartland Domino Recording Company [2010] Fire Note Says: Pallett puts it all together on Heartland. Album Review: It's about time, is a good way to describe the new album from Owen Pallett aka Final Fantasy. Heartland represents his third record but first under his own name and it once again is a complex outing of instrumentation, lyrics and arrangements. It is a record [...]
Dude, what's with the fucking wolves? Wolf Eyes, Wolfmother, Patrick Wolf, Guitar Wolf (who is awesome), Wolf Parade (who is not awesome), Sea Wolf, Peanut Butter Wolf, Howlin' Wolf, AIDS Wolf, and lest we forget Peter Wolf and my personal favorites... Wolf Blitzer (of The Situation Room fame, when not hosted by Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, and also doubles as an excellent metal band name not yet taken) Law & Order executive producer Dick Wolf (not to be confused with wolf dick, which is entirely different).

Ok indie-cindys. Your other favorite Bright Eyes -esque band, The Antlers , have been remixed by Buffetlibre and in my humble opinion, is better than the original? Soz. Buffetlibre's kinda like the Spanish version of the Twelves , making indie songs indie-r with their remixes. You can grab their remixes of Patrick Wolf and Little Boots for free on their website here . In the meantime, tell me you don't like this Antler's remix? :) Buy [...]

○○○○○ FORMER Final Fantasy frontman Owen Pallett - who changed his name because he wasn't Square enough, presumably - has crafted an album to please the musical nerd in us all. Heartland , a concept album about a fictional farmer turned fighter, is an intricate, beautifully crafted collection, put together with a Brian Wilson -circa- Pet Sounds intricacy sure to reward repeated listens. There's Beirut -style folk here from the Canadian, as well as electronica leanings, akin to the work of Jim Moray and Patrick Wolf , all [...]

Toronto - Leave it to Buffet Libre to remixes one of last years saddest songs into a reasonably danceable tune. I pretty much love whatever these guys do and this remix is no exception. Check it out in all it's synth dripping glory. The Antlers open for the Editors at the Phoenix on February 16th. I will be there. ps.. I know it's not Wednesday. Related posts: Remix Wednesday: Shwayze - Buzzin (Remix by Classixx) Toronto - It's been awhile since we've had [...]
The Hold Steady have sadly parted ways with their keyboardist / accordionist Franz Nicolay. We will all miss his awesome mustache and vaudevillian fashion sense, and I hope the band gets someone else to play those sweet piano licks very soon. Looking forward though, on the last leg of the Stay Positive tour, the band debuted a slew of new tracks with names like "Gideon's Conversion", "Sharp Cross", "(Ballad of the) Midnight Hauler", "Separate Vacations", "Our Whole Lives" "Heaven is Whenever", and "Going On a Hike". Here's some amateur video recordings of a [...]

top image A prolonged time out finally explains itself: Laura Marling will release two full-lengths in 2010. The first of which ('I Speak Because I Can') arrives this March, the second we're yet to know about. Last time an artist declared such a daring attempt, their plans went amiss slightly ( Patrick Wolf, Cajun Dance Party ). The beautiful Christmas-time release 'Goodbye England' arrives midway, but the album's opening track has already been unveiled. 'Devil's Spoke' sees a slight shift in guitar playing as well as [...]
