This Friday I bring you a CRYSTAL CASTLES video I shot from their secret show in LA a couple weeks ago. Alice Glass is one of my favourites to see live so click below and enjoy the show... From a show in 08 after they got into it with security for throwing a drum set off the stage... Their new LP is slated to drop in April along with an LP with their early Demos, don't sleep. [...]

The documentary All Tomorrow's Parties was compiled from footage taped by over 200 festival attendees on everything from traditional cameras [...]
So I'm trying something different right now. I'm going to link to 10 blogposts that I think are particularly good. I'm going to ask you, my readers, to thumb-up or digg or whatever both this post and some of the ones I linked to, if you like them. Then, I'm going to ask the owners of those blogs that I link to to make their own posts, linking to me and to some posts that they like . Then ask their readers/bloggers to do the same. None of those bloggers know I [...]
Russian Circle's third release, Geneva , starts out as such a damned promising record, coming out of the chute with 3 of their thickest, heaviest, and most memorable tunes yet. But through poor pacing and scatter shot stylistic change ultimately the album feels like a disappointment and a missed opportunity. Past albums have worked by gradually ratcheting down the pace such as Talking Heads' Remain In Light , but Geneva's diminishing returns don't pack much of a dramatic punch. [...]

Sono poco più di un minuto in bianco e nero. Se vi sembra troppo silenzioso mi raccomando aspettate il finale del video...
De a pocos se van sumando más medios a publicar sus listas con lo mejor de la década, anteriormente revisábamos la lista de la norteamericana Pitchfork con 200 posiciones que escogió como disco de la década a Kid A de Radiohead, ahora es turno de la NME y aunque últimamente ya no tenga la influencia de antes, resulta más que interesante revisar la decisión del staff de la publicación británica. Es conocido el impulso que ha logrado dar la NME a la nueva música británica, no han querido parecer distintos en su lista ya [...]
La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
Esta es una época de retrospecciones. Nos acostumbramos a los análisis exhaustivos de los cambios, reinvenciones y resurgimientos que esta década nos ha traído en materia musical. Hablamos de la influencia de bandas como Panda Bear, Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens y Arcade Fire, pero en algo estamos errando: no reparar en el futuro. La nueva década que se avecina, a pesar de ser una división numérica de nuestro calendario, debe marcar algún cambio en el complejo escenario musical. Esas sutilezas a veces no son notorias, pero este año ha venido marcado por ciertas corrientes que llevaron la [...]
Recently took in the well-conceived All Tomorrow's Parties documentary- a film incorporating Super8, camcorder and mobile phone footage contributed by filmmakers, fans and musicians from the cult festival's history with major contributions from Jonathan Caouette and Vincent Moon. Featured in the film are performances from Battles, Sonic Youth, Belle And Sebastian, Patti Smith, Animal Collective, Grinderman, Iggy and the Stooges, Portishead, Mogwai, Slint, Grizzly Bear, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Gossip, Daniel Johnston and The Boredoms. The ATP festival is unique for its band and fan curated lineups, lack of corporate sponsorships, and country club [...]
Seefeel are a post-rock group (whatever you take to mean by that term). They get on these pages as they were quite influential in their quiet way and becuase they were on the sainted Warp Records for a short while. Seefeel formed during 1992 in London, England; with Mark Clifford on guitar, Mark Van Hoen on bass, Justin Fletcher on drums and Sarah Peacock on vocals and guitar. During 1992, Mark Van Hoen was replaced by Daren Seymour on bass. They released their first EPs and first album on [...]

Billy Mahonie, Mo-ho-bish-o-pi & Silverback, Bullingdon Arms, 8 June 2000 At the time, GMS and a couple of friends were writing the music section for a now defunct "internet magazine". We got sent a lot of records to review, some of which were worth keeping, some of which were worth selling, some of which were by Lolly . We booked this gig as a launch party--someone must have said "why not?" at some stage. The magazine never took off, [...]
Yesterday was the Subbacultcha & Streetlab Artbook Launch Party , a book about all the artists that have work throughout the Subbacultcha events , a very cool place and building , unfortunately we couldn't stay to watch The Stutters because of the evening busy and tight schedule. Massive Attack announces the release of a new video and single from the 2010 upcoming new album , the video looks very cool and the track superb. [...]
( Editor's note: My father and I went to New York City to see a Mets game in the fall. While there, we toured a submarine. It was his idea. I am a vegetarian and, obviously, a pacifist. I took pictures of everything on the sub that was circular. The picture above ties in with today's theme of randomness. Does establishing a theme of randomness this early in the post diminish its inherent randomness? Mrs. Citizen says "yes." Shit.) Let's start off today with some cold, harsh truths: (1) There is no order to the universe. [...]
El día de mañana se exhibirá en el Copenhaguen International Documentary Festival el primer material en vivo que la agrupación escocesa Mogwai ofrece a sus seguidores. Se trata de Burning , filme que incluye videos de sus presentaciones del 27, 28 y 29 de abril del año en curso en el Music Hall of Williamsburg, ubicado en Brooklyn. Crucemos los dedos para que lo lleguen a exhibir en México en alguna muestra de cine. Mientras tanto, no queda más que conformarnos con el trailer del mismo, el cual demuestra la enorme energía del grupo en [...]
Mogwai etc., All Tomorrow's Parties, Camber Sands, April 2000 Alphabetical post-rock nostalgia your way comes: Arab Strap typical festival band, rolled out all the hits; sales of The Weekend Never Starts Round Here saw a spike the following week. Bardo Pond failed to live up to a rather high billing as stoner post-rock legends, were but reasonably spooky [...]
