Pigeon John non è il classico rapper. Non annegherà mai sul fondo di una piscina per i kilogrammi d'oro al collo. Non impugnerà mai una pistola e non potrà mai sfoggiare ciccatrici di fori di proiettile sul suo petto. Non ordinerà mai Cristal come se piovesse circondato da cosce nude ad un party, al massimo sorseggerà raffinato Beaujolais nouveau in un ristorante carino della San Fernando Valley. Il fatto è che non proviene dalla strada, da un quartiere difficile dove camminare con occhi anche dietro la schiena tenendo ben stretto il rosario nella tasca, ma è [...]

![[Album Review/Listen] – Moonface – "Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3635124_lg.jpg)
Tweet Spenser Krug 's new Moonface album is not for the faint of heart. Listeners expecting the intellectual pop of early Wolf Parade or Sunset Rubdown's "Dragonslayer" will be sorely disappointed. Krug has ditched his major projects once again to follow his lust for the arcane. Those willing to following him into the rabbit hole will be rewarded for their patience, but no one could be blamed for throwing their hands up at this sprawling, intricate, maddening album. Featuring five [...]
Portland, Oregon's Thrash Masters, Toxic Holocaust are at it again! For three years I have been waiting for the follow up to 2008's An Overdose of Death . I must say, it was well worth the wait. Toxic Holocaust give an epic thrash album in Conjure and Command . My thrash loving brethren: take notice, this ain't your daddies thrash. Damn Waiveriders, the album is fucking rad. If the Zombie Apocalypse, World War 3 or some other totally fucked up End of The World type situation went down, Toxic Holocaust would be [...]
Another heavy gust of wind viciously tore at my clothing, and there was a strong possibility that the ominous darkness on the horizon was a suffocating sandstorm that would shortly overtake my position. Indecision, the arch nemesis of all brave adventurers, had suddenly fallen on me like a ton of bricks. I was standing a few steps away from my vehicle staring at a massive door which had been built directly into the side of a mountain. I knew that what I sought would be behind the door. All I had to do now was muster [...]
There are very few pop songs about husbands who don't do their chores. Pigeon John makes me think there's a good reason for that. Underground rapper Pigeon John is a modest joker. In the sleepy organ jam "Dude, It's On", he subverts the idea of a road trip by depicting it as boring, an excuse to drink brews and eat Chick-O-Sticks with his homies in front of the Motel 6 TV. John sings the chorus -- as he does most of the Dragon Slayer album -- in a pleasant drawl, flipping between confident statements of "Oh yeah, It's On"...
Pigeon John is a black sheep among black sheep. A thug-free, fringe-toeing MC who cut his chops on the post-gangsta West Coast freestyle circuit, he's chosen a fitting avian moniker: John is not exactly underground, but he's not super-duper fly, either. A rapper and singer, lover and hater, he makes the happiest sad music in all of hip-hop, and he's one of the most grounded artists in the game. His second album was titled Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister . Anyone with female siblings should be so lucky. [...]
Los Angeles-based indie rapper/singer/songwriter/rocke r and funny man Pigeon John has a brand new album out today called Dragon Slayer. We first learned about Pigeon John when hearing his last album And The Summertime Pool Party. The album featured the excellent single "Freaks! Freaks!", which gives a big old shout-out to Taco Bell in the beginning [...]
So I know this isn't exactly timely for the end of 2009, but after the jump, I'll rank and briefly discuss my Top 5 alubms from 2009; mostly because my list is almost completely different from BVaz's. I only am doing five because I feel like after my top five, things get muddled. Who is 6? Who is 10? Woods? Real Estate? Atlas Sound? Phoenix?! Are those albums even worth of a top 10 of the year? Not sure! The five I have listed here are all fantastic, though. One thing is for certain - loved me some chill albums this year. [...]
Het lijkt mij – wanneer ik een begaafd muzikant zou zijn - een lastige keuze tussen muziek maken met technische hoogstandjes of muziek maken dat op een groter publiek effect heeft. Ik vind daarin popmuziek net zo knap als bijvoorbeeld Keith Rowe of Derek Bailey , pioniers op de gitaar, maar moeilijk luisterbaar. Spencer Krug weet gek genoeg ongekend technisch talent en liedjes die uitstekend - voor gevorderden allicht - in het gehoor liggen, te combineren. Inmiddels heeft de Canadese Syd Barrett alweer een nieuw projectje: Moonface . Dit naast [...]
Yep, it's a day late. Probably two if you live in a different time zone. It's part three of my top 40 albums of 2009. If we look back at the month of May, it seems like the majority of my favourites were released all at the same time, including albums from the Manics, IAMX, Morton Valence, Jarvis Cocker, Archivist, and The Rest. We also had new records that have already graced this list, including The Horrors' Primary Colours and Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix . The month was rounded out with albums by Maximo Park, Peaches, Esser, [...]
I have 13 minutes until my oven is done transforming my frozen pizza into a little bit of happiness, so here's a lunchtime song for everyone. You Go On Ahead is another track from Sunset Rubdown 's fourth LP Dragonslayer , released in June of this year. I suspect that for most people, Sunset Rubdown's sound is not as instantly accessible as front-man Spencer Krug 's other project Wolf Parade (song posted here ). However, if you're like me, one of the biggest draws of Wolf Parade is Krug's passion-filled/eccentric [...]
Tonight's tune comes from the Montreal indie-rock band Sunset Rubdown . The band originally began as the solo project of Spencer Krug from Wolf Parade . Following the release of Sunset Rubdown's debut album Snake's Got a Leg in 2005, the project evolved from a solo act to a full band. Idiot Heart can be found on the band's most recent album Dragonslayer , released in June of this year. The band is currently winding up a US tour, before heading to the land of the rising sun to promote the [...]

The Needle DropVia P4K, "Dragon's Lair" reminds me of countless hours spent with The Ocarina of Time. In this video a latchkey girl seeks her dream horse in a peaceful meadow. As night falls an evil woman challenges the girl's bravery and follows her in a mirror. The use of color in these scenes are awesome. Consider the multitude of witch ladies rocking out with a broom in shades of green, purple, and red, the
