Down the back of Truman's Brewery, John Grant is tonight an omnipresent, his name inescapable as Bowie's The Next Day artwork was over the weekend. The walls covered in posters quite rightly advertising his splendid Pale Green Ghosts record released just yesterday, and his name radiantly illumined above the entrance to Rough Trade East, his is the queue which spews forth. It's bitterly gelid out, though the onetime Czar now commands an utmost adoration. A couple came over from Portugal just to see him sell out Heaven in twenty-four [...]
Continuing on from LonDumb - Part I and LonDumb - Part II... Everything's Gonna Be All Right (Oliver Nelson Remix) - Barry Manilow So I'm at Will Call. On my right, a big huge queue. Chunky as funk. Balls, I'm going to be here ages. Steward nudges me inside the line. Thank you. Actually. Is this [...]

"Mind Waltz" indeed. Australian primetime familiar talent Jacob Butler has unleashed a beast of a track for the AAA airwaves. Previewed here from his forthcoming 2013 Reason LP, the international songwriting award winner (Unsigned Only w/ judges including Cyndi Lauper, Robert Smith, Manchester Orchestra, Kelly Clarkson...) does an upfront job of combining his passions for the music of Elliot Smith, 'Gallaghers', and Angus Stone with an undeniable chorus melody. Get familiar with "Mind Waltz" and Jacob Butler below. Jacob Butler - Mind Waltz Jacob Butler [...]
Here is the video for Electro duo La Boum Fatale ’s first single AAA . A pulsating, hypnotic track with hints of analog Disco. The video was put together by Sebastian Egert and La Boum Fatale themselves and can get as disorienting as the ever morphing electronic music. Check out more from La Boum Fatale on SoundCloud. Buy La Boum Fatale’s music from: [...]

Wednesday is "Trail Food Day" here at Cold Splinters... This post might seem lazy, but like the food we eat for breakfast before taking down a tent, it's more about efficiency. Sure. The Triple A Sandwich. Easy as pie. Ideal if you're camping with one other person. 1. Cut the avocado, take out the pit, and use a spoon to get the meat out in one swoop. Place each piece on a pita and smoosh. 2. Cut the apple in half. Slice lengthwise. Place on top of avocado. 3. Sprinkle generously with [...]

Os dije que el sello Sinnbus molaba y para no quitarme la razón aquí traigo el último de sus lanzamientos. La Boum Fatale, como el sello, son alemanes, su sonido, palabras del propio duo, combina electrónica, house, garage y dub step con sofisticados arreglos. Estará por ver cuánto de cierto hay en sus palabras porque de momento solo han lanzado este tema, y por no faltar a la verdad un par de remixes, por lo que desconozco qué mas son capaces de ofrecer. De momento un buen track con buen video con este AAA.

Its always a special occasion when we drop a sick-nasty-wobbly-wobblefest on our TBE peeps. Super-obvi today will be no exception. Rest assured, your worldwide dub dealer has got your fix... So, get that change of cloths and that extra pair of undies ready. The BASS is back. I figured the picture fit in nicely with Halloween steadily approaching. Just don't stare too long. Side note: I like my bass swollen, not my women. For more jams or by any of these artists use the ‘tags’ links at the bottom of the post! Follow [...]

O trio de rock psicodélico Akron/Family acabou de lançar um novo disco semana passada, com essa capa aqui de cima. O vulcão da imagem não é a toa. Aparentemente, a banda gravou a maior parte das canções numa casa deserta perto de Hokkaido, no Japão, ao lado de um vulcão ativo. Influenciados por fitas cassetes lo-fi japoneses e baterias eletrônicas dos anos 70 tocadas por baquetas feitas por eles mesmos, assim se deu o início da gravação do novo álbum, incrivelmente intitulado de Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju TNT. O primeiro [...]
With Pilooski, Yuksek, Brodinski, The Aikiu, Mikix The Cat and way, way more, last night was a shoo-in for a great time. Too bad we were thrashed and exhausted and made a brief appearance at the Hype Machine party instead. But fear not readers, as Belle Z., THE CULTURE OF ME's only intern standing tall [...]

[caption id="attachment_14039" align="alignnone" width="445" caption="Riot Fest Founder Mike Petryshyn"] [/caption] A collection of pioneers and up-and-coming bands from across the country and spanning an array of different branches of punk music will come together this week for the sixth year of Chicago's prominent Riot Fest. It all started in 2005 with a two-day festival of mostly local bands along with some well-known headliners at the Congress Theater. “It happened all accidentally,” said Mike 'Riot' Petryshyn, one of the founders of Riot Fest. “I was doing the daily grind as an editor at a [...]

I generally like to have lots of kettles in the fire. I like to have new and exclusive songs arriving in my inbox at least on a weekly, if not daily, basis. But the summer doldrums have set in, as well as the fact that there are now so many music bloggers plying their trade. So I was happy to finally have the new song from the Ditty Bops arrive this morning. You may have heard of the Ditty Bops because of their numerous times on Grey's Anatomy, or for the press their bike [...]
Acting as both a label and distro company, showcasing an ever diversifying roster and possessing the best name for a record label I've heard in an age, there's a lot of reasons to like Italian Beach Babes.
