There are so many regular features about what sick tattoos bands have got and what awesome trainers they're wearing, but what about their haircare regime? How do they get their hair looking so cool? HOW? You were thinking it, so we asked it. What shampoo do you use, Sam Carter of Architects? "Whatever my mum's got or whatever my girlfriend's got. The majority of the time it's Aussie. It keeps it blonde - it does its job. I don't do anything: I don't wash my clothes; [...]

Before vocalists Starving Yet Full and Fritz Helder came into the picture, AZARI & III consisted of just Dinamo Azari and Alixander III travelling around as a DJ duo. Once all forces were joined, the four have since been playing as a live quartet, and have released both remix EPs and their debut self-titled full length album. Four days ago on Twitter, the group followed "#throwback" with an interview/performance video they did for Channel 42s Album Chart Show 2012 in the UK. We thought we'd build on this memory by also sharing it with you! Sitting [...]
Reconozco que me encanta: uno está al final un poco aburrido de coincidir con todos esos blogs de música (de los que soy lector asiduo) y ver que andamos todos escribiendo, cada uno según le parece, sobre las mismas canciones, los mismos discos, los mismos grupos; así que encontrarte por azar con una canción tan grande a cargo de uno de esos grupos pequeños de los que nadie habla (aún) es francamente estimulante. La cosa no tiene tanto de apuesta (se me da fatal, lo reconozco) como de sentir que, aún desde un medio muy pequeño y con [...]

The final FLIGHT FACILITIES Triple J Decade Mix (2002-2012) is the perfect hour of music for anyone currently aged in their early 20s to mid 30s who have been festival and club addicts sometime over the past 10 years or so. It allows us to reflect on some of the best times we’ve had in our lives involving the music we love, our friends (old and new) as well as particular tracks which have shaped who we are today. It’s easy to see why FLIGHT [...]
El hermano de un tipo llamado Daniel Hindman estudia arquitectura y se va luego a Suiza a hacer un master . Aprovechando su estancia en ese país, visita las célebres termas de Vals, quizá uno de los proyectos arquitectónicos más celebrados de las últimas décadas, a cargo del pritzker Peter Zumthor. Pasa un día estupendo en el exclusivo spa , poniéndose a remojo en ese agua tan rica en propiedades como sus acaudalados usuarios, y como colofón de la experiencia toma parte en lo que allá denominan como "Pure Bathing Culture", que no es otra cosa [...]
These last years, Kitsuné x Petit Bateau's story was such on a roll, we could say our fox have sea legs! Kitsuné and Petit Bateau embarked together for the first time in 2009 in a pretty natural way. Their affinities for seaside atmospheres and common apology of their French heritage easily matched, to finally lead and [...]

Apparently JD just got to the part where the dog dies... From time to time, an artist comes along who has the remarkable ability to tap into sounds of the past and both replicate and update them in a way that sounds entirely fresh without sounding gimmicky. The Blasters did it back in the '80s, The Squirrel Nut Zippers in the '90s, Amy Winehouse in the 2000s, and more recently, Adele. Okay, so the Squirrel Nut Zippers may have sounded a little gimmicky at times, but still, they were fully committed to their [...]
Esta es otra de esas canciones que, lo reconozco, hubieran merecido más atención por mi parte en ese 2012 que a estas alturas parece tan lejano. Lo que ocurre es con los canadienses Stars siempre me pasa lo mismo: recibo sus discos con mucha más ilusión de la que realmente se traduce finalmente en escuchas, y ese ligero desencanto deriva después en dejar de tratarnos durante una temporada. Entonces, inevitablemente, sucede lo mismo que con aquel tío de clase que te caía tan bien, y al que perdiste de vista durante años: un día de pronto te lo encuentras por [...]

Not another Year End List 2012 is officially in the books, and Three Colours has compiled its very favorites of the year. In our opinion, here's the best music of 2012. You may be surprised to see a year-end list released this late into the year, but after all the life-changing events that have occurred over the year, I'm just happy to finally get this out there. 2012 was a crazy great year! Top 13 LPs of 2012 [...]

NOMADS (VS) ::: Facebook / Home ::: NOMADS ::: Eigen beheer / Bandcamp ::: Het trio NOMADS uit Cleveland dient niet verwart te worden met de Zweedse punkrockers met dezelfde naam. Deze NOMADS brachten eind vorig jaar een prachtige, titelloze, postrock plaat uit. Het album bevat elf heerlijke en spannende instrumentale nummers, waarmee de postrock boom, wat ons betreft weer een interessante loot rijker is. Meer lezen »

It seems that the nostalgic sentiment of old music is making a comeback as more people are purchasing vinyls. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry , vinyl sales were at an all time high last year since 1997. An article done by Music Week says that the IFPI report claims the LP medium sold $177 million in business worldwide in 2012. While it's nice to see vinyl sales skyrocket, it comes at a price as other music selling mediums didn't fare so well. According to the same IFPI [...]

Diverse Artiesten ::: Facebook / Home ::: Paper Bag Records vs. David Bowie ::: Paper Bag Records ::: David Bowie blijft actueel, onlangs verscheen van The Thin White Duke : The Next Day , het eerste sinds 2003. Maar ook voor anderen blijft Bowie een inspiratiebron. Zo liet het Canadese label Paper Bag Records haar artiesten optrommelen om een album op te nemen met covers van The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and [...]

West Coast rapper Antwon drops a video for one of the better tracks from his Fantasy Beds mixtape , which came out last year. He dropped another one recently , too. The video ain't much but clips of Antwon chillin' with friends against some Steve McQueen car chase scenes, but the stellar beat and 'Twon's beefy voice on this track are more than deserving of some visuals to help raise its visibility. Enjoy!

Hilang Child (Eng) ::: Facebook / twitter ::: First Writings ::: Eigen beheer / Bandcamp ::: Hilang Child is het geesteskind van de Brit Ed Riman. Het eerste wapenfeit dat door Hilang Child in de openbaarheid werd bracht is de EP First Writings (hoe toepasselijk...). First Writings is een prima EP die Fleet Foxes ademt, maar zeker naar meer smaakt! Meer lezen »
Cosas de haber sido boy-scout , unos cuantos años de mi infancia: creo que toda mi vida me acordaré, entre muchas otras cosas buenas, de aquella cancioncilla que se cantaba cuando llegaba el final del campamento, todos unidos cantando aquella tonada un pelín horterilla de "llegaaado ya el momento de la separacióoon, formeeemos compañeroos, una caadena de amooor". Bien, pues por si hay alguno que no lo sabía, la canción, en su versión original, se llama " Auld Lang Syne " ("Por los viejos tiempos"), y no es otra cosa que una canción popular escocesa común en ceremonias solemnes [...]

Hey, uh, Britt? Are you going to eat that maraschino cherry? 'Cause if not . . . I think pretty much everything Britt Daniel touches is gold. (I mean that in the "quality" sense, not necessarily "gold record" sense, although I haven't checked, so maybe Spoon's recent records really have gone gold.) In any case, I'll confess, I'm biased. So I had a feeling his new band project, Divine Fits (also featuring members of the New Bomb Turks and Wolf Parade), would be very not uncool. And sure enough, their album A Thing [...]
