It's that time at last! Triple J Hottest 100 voting has opened. For those that don't let their musical intelligence be insulted by Triple J, this year promises to be another hard slog at getting those 10 tracks perfectly right, so that you can just tick them off as they come up one by one on the 26th January. Well... at least that's what it used to be like. It's been only 10 years ago now, that Queens of the Stone Age held the number 1 spot with their mental track "No One Knows", and only five years [...]
I know that December tends to be a time to purchase gifts for friends and family members. But Shopping kind of sucks. Instead, go to a show? Thursday, December 6th El Gavachillo, Regimen Sinaloense at Elbo Room El Gavachillo is a side project of Wil-Dog from Ozomatli. It's a band that does classic punk covers [...]
Sabe o que que dá ficar quase um mês sem postar remixes aqui no blog? Um acúmulo de remixes. E pela matemática, se o número de escolhas aumenta, chances são que a qualidade final do produto será mais alta do que outras com poucas escolhes. Pois bem, teorias e números a parte, estamos felizes em trazer o resultado desse acúmulo de posts na 48º versão do nosso Friday Mixes , dessa vez também todo mixado pelo nosso querido DJ Amplis de forma profissional em uma mixtape perfeita para a véspera de feriado, final de semana ou para [...]
"You are the music while the music lasts." -T.S. Eliot Angel Haze - "Werkin' Girls" Super talented 20-year-old emcee Angel Haze is back with "Werkin' Girls", another new cut from her debut EP, Reservation (July 17th, via True Panther/Noizy Cricket/Biz 3). Over layer upon layer of rapid, clacking synth drums, Haze spits lines that are only matched in their boasting by their clever turns ("I'm on top of my green like a motherfuckin' tractor" or "I'm an undefeated bastard/my tongue is the fuckin rapture"). Haze is aware of her sudden power [...]
I’m recording my own music these days and shaking some things in the background, so I’ve recently had to take my eye off any other excellent new rock music that’s making waves. So this post is a first attempt to try to catch up and see what’s shaking the rafters out there. I like what I hear below. Wish me luck for more! ----------- Dead Sara rocks it loud and proud with 'Weatherman'. The two gal, two guy band from LA hooks you [...]
The Spector album ain't even dropped yet, but it already feels like 2005 again. Today, not only have we welcomed back Brandon F and his Killers, but Kele O and his Blocs have too landed safely home with NEW, ACTUAL MUSIC for the first time in a whole decade. (Fine, it's only been three years, but it feels mad-long.) First to da Vegas leaders and their new album's earliest offering 'Runaways'. Needless to say, it's as ballsy as Jodie Marsh in the ol' lesbian ring. Like, the very first few seconds are [...]
So we're coming in to the back end of the year and it's absolutely insane how much fresh new music is about to be released. It is mental. In light of that, we thought we'd get some buzz going for some of the albums we're particularly hanging out for! Here's what our research has yielded so far! (ordered by date of release) The Killers - Battle Born - July 11, 2012 The Antlers - Undersea - July 24, 2012 Passion Pit - Gossimer - July 24, [...]
C'era da scometterci: i Simple Minds hanno fatto già registrare il sold out per il loro concerto del 28 febbraio all'Alcatraz di Milano . Per la band inglese guidata di Jim Kerr si tratta di un evento speciale pensato per riproporre on stage i primi cinque album della discografia della band. Nel 5x5 Live 2012 si ascolteranno in scaletta 5 brani per ciascuno primi 5 album per un concerto di ben due ore e mezza di grandi successi che hanno scritto la storia della [...]

Pouca gente sabe mas grande [...]

The letter I is a man of mystery, he says what he means but you're never quit sure who he's talking about, he prefers to stand alone but can do more with an S or a T than anyone, his words might be short but his impact is never diminished due to a strict less is more policy, he's all around you but is barely noticed as he slips in and out of words like a ninja. Is it you? Is it me? No, it's I. Today we salute the ninth and arguably most versatile letter in the alphabet with [...]
Who doesn't love Wire? One could make the case that without these guys it would have made for a quite barren indie scene in England the last decade. No blueprint for the likes of Bloc Party, Maximo Park or Franz Ferdinand to take notes from. We would have been left with more open mouth frothing over the White Stripes and the Fillers, to name a couple of time wasters. Wire, you see, were the real deal. From the classic (and I do mean classic) debut record, 1977's Pink Flag to the forthcoming opus Red Barked Tree , [...]
Toronto - The big news this past weekend was the plethora of articles released by Wikileaks concerning diplomatic relations around the world. With all the international espionage hoopla, small portions of wikileaks involving indie music was largely ignored, until now. Here at the Panic Manual, our crack team of wikileak experts combed through every document and without further delay, have compiled an extensive summary of articles concerning indie music and indie music fans in general. Here they are: Noah Lennox spent most of the year in a prison cell in the province of [...]
Katy Perry vs. Bloc Party: I Kissed a Girl at a Banquet [ alt ] + Lady Gaga vs. Eurythmics: Just Dance in My Sweet Dreams [ alt ] + The Killers vs. Alphaville: Are We Human? Or Are We Forever Young? [ alt ] =
Oggi, quando ho ascoltato il singolo solista di Brandon Flowers (il leader dei The Killers ), mi è venuta in mente una cosa: fino ad ora la carriera dei Killers e dei Bloc Party hanno avuto un andamento molto simile. I punti in comune sono tanti: entrambi i gruppi hanno avuto l'apice creativo e di successo con l'album di debutto (siamo a metà anni zero), seguito in entrambi i casi da un secondo disco con qualche spunto interessante ma nel complesso meno convincente e da un terzo disco decisamente poco riuscito. [...]
Things have been rather busy of late and it's caused us to miss a couple of things. Firstly, Theophilus London 's new mixtape, I Want You, has finally been released and that's the artwork below. You can download it for free from here, and a very good listen it is too. FACT: The cat in the picture belongs to TV On The Radio 's Dave Sitek. Interestingly, we're kind of linked to [...]
2009, das haben wir ja hier in den letzten wochen genügend durchexerziert, markierte ja auch das ende eines jahrzehnts. deshalb ging es auch in unserer jahresendwahl nicht nur um die songs und alben 1 des jahres 2009, sondern auch um jene des jahrzehnts. hier auch davon die auswertung. Band des Jahrzehnts Zwar hieß die Kategorie in der Wahl "Band oder Künstler des Jahrzehnts", den Sieg teilen sich aber genau eine Band und ein Solokünstler. Die Band ist, und das überrascht, Tocotronic . Überraschend ist [...]
I didn't really want to attempt a list of my favourite albums of the decade - the list for this year alone was more work than I needed. Instead, I decided to hit some of the ways this decade dealt with music - how technology has changed the musical landscape further, what globalized capitalism has done to the music industry, and what media convergence did to help out. Then as a second part, I thought I should add some of my musings on the decade as far as my own musical development goes - after all, I became an adult [...]
das jahr 2005 kann man wohl als höhepunkt meines studentendaseins bezeichnen - ich machte meine zwischenprüfung und fing im herbst an, beim münchner studentenradio m94.5 mitzuarbeiten. zwischendrin reiste ich durch halb europa, nur um ein konzert einer meiner lieblingsbands zu sehen... die unterscheidung zwischen den damaligen und den lieblingsplatten aus heutiger sicht wird zunehmend schwieriger, weil sich mein musikgeschmack in den letzten fünf jahren nicht wirklich relevant geändert hat. deshalb werde ich die jeweils korrespondierenden kategorien ab jetzt zusammenfassen. meine alben des jahres [...]
