New in from What What Records, Ed Orable feat Spoek's Dance No More gets a Monkey Safari remix, but fails to ignite a pretty much repetitive plodding track, not a floor shaker, more of an irritant that just screams for some invention and oomph to it! Check out the mixtape though as it's rather good and makes up for the naff track given to me for review! Ed Orable Feat Spoek - Dance No More - Monkey Safari Remix Mixtape: 1. Lazy Flow - [...]
Colorado's Monolith Festival is in trouble. Organizers of the three-year-old event, plagued the past two years by fractious Rocky Mountain weather, told fans in an e-mail "the future of the festival is very grim," and that they have "been unable to secure any options" that dig the fest out of its financial hole. Included was a plea for potential buyers/investors. [Full text of the letter after the jump.] Meanwhile, Bonnaroo announced its ninth annual event will be held June 10-13, 2010, near Manchester, Tenn. Tickets go on sale at noon Nov. 27.

John Foxx was the original lead vocalist, composer, multi-instrumentalist and frontman of the innovative and adventurous Ultravox!, who progressed from their Roxy-influenced art-rock debut through spiky, punk-inflected glam to prototypical synth-pop a la Kraftwerk. Despite its quality, none of this material made a significant commercial impact. When Island dropped the band in 1979 after the third album, Foxx went solo, forefronting his virtuosity on the electronic keyboards which were the mainstay of the UK's New Romantic scene during the early eighties. His ensuing albums forged an almost opposite progression, from the industrial Europop of Metamatic to the pastoral [...]
