Detroit's Tyvek are not your typical punks. Back in 2007 on their What's Your Rupture double single they indirectly posed the question: Why did Tyvek Go to the Whole Foods? It was kind of like asking why did the chicken cross the road? Were they hungry? Did they have spray paint in their bags? Jobs? We're they planning to do some damage? There was no point in even pondering. It was what it was. Tyvek's discombobulated trajectory continues after albums on Siltbreeze and In the Red a new single has emerged [...]
Generally, if you invest in an album and it takes you to all sorts of different locales, that's a good thing, right? But, then again, the scattershot bands are often too busy with pisstakes and random diversions, distracting from the quality of the overall product. I've listened to Rejoicer , by Grooms , several times, and I still can't put my finger on what it is they're DOing. And for that I thank them, because by dint of their constantly [...]
Good grief, it's a busy week in Edinburgh this week. I am going to have to drive everywhere just to stop myself drinking my liver into oblivion. Personally, of course, I am advocating the Song, by Toad Spring piss up at the Bowery on Thursday. Those of you yet to acquire a copy of Meursault's blinding new EP , I'd very much recommend you take this chance to do so. We've only made 300 copies - all hand-painted - so I don't think they'll last all that long. Tigerfest and the [...]
I've always liked it when bands reference other bands. To this day, my favorite band that I've never actually heard is Cherry Ice Cream Smile which was Kim from All Girl Summer Fun Band's previous band. The obscure Duran Duran reference has always piqued my interest and I'm afraid if I ever actually heard them, they wouldn't live up to the hype I've built up in my mind. That brings us to Ex Lion Tamer . As soon as I saw the Wire reference, I knew I had to [...]
It's a quiet, but hardly barren week in Edinburgh this week, although I think I may skip a fair bit of it and concentrate on getting the Pictish Trail Session up and posted. What a shitty fucking weekend it's been, too. I got some really bizarre message from an old school friend of mine asking me if I was blanking him on Friday, which I haven't been. We haven't exchanged messages for years, but that's been true in both directions. Then on Sunday, before I'd responded, he sent another saying 'Okay, I'll delete you from my Facebook wotsit, have a [...]
Christ, it's going to be like Fred Karno's bloody Circus in Edinburgh this week (did your Grandma use that phrase all the time too?) Particulary towards the tail end of the week there are all sorts of good gigs, of which I will be attending... precisely none, unfortunately. We're away in London this weekend, and I am in Glasgow on both Wednesday and Thursday nights, would you believe. Incredibly frustrating. We are nearly finished work on the Samamidon Toad Session, and a bloody good thing too, because Johnny Lynch, aka the Pictish Trail, will be coming [...]
...phew. Christmas is nearly here, the school term is over...and I'm feeling absolutely exhusted and still quite some way off goodwill to all men, especially if they have anything to do with the RIAA or the DMCA. But, it has been a good year for me overall, sustained by getting a better job, the continued love and support of Mrs. 17 Seconds and family, friends and readers. 17 Seconds Records Ltd. is go, make friends at our myspace page if you haven't already . 17SEC1 is already available as a download, Aberfeldy's [...]
The second act to be signed to 17 Seconds Records is Ex Lion Tamer . His first single for us will be a song called 'Neon Hearts' and very good it is, too. However, before that, as an early Christmas present, he would like to share this fantastic song with you, that evokes Kraftwerk and Postal Service, along with much of the fine eighties electric pop that influenced him. It's called 'Life Support Machine.' Ex Lion Tamer -'Life Support Machine.' mp3 Make friends with [...]
You can't fucking move in Edinburgh this week but for accidentally walking in on a quality gig. Honestly, you could end up with a liver like a cricket ball if you went to all of the bastards, so there may be a few orange juice gigs (yes, I know, boom-tish and all that) for me this week, or I'll have to spend all of December sobering up. Given what Christmas is generally like anyway, I suspect that's what January is likely to be for but, as with Christmas itself, it seems that the party season is starting earlier [...]
I have stated before that I feel pop is the most interesting genre at the moment. It is, in fact, a product of the greatest element of capitalism (yes, there are some good bits). Capitalism breeds innovation to gain the most money possible. Someone invents something, and then it is bettered and bettered until it reaches its as near perfect form as possible. Music companies now are having to alter their strategy to account for the new download culture of vast variety of music. To get money they've had to care for and put work into pop music for the [...]
17 Seconds Records continues apace... Our second signing is the enigmatic Ex Lion Tamer, the project of the mysterious Tony T. There will be a download single to come in the new year, 'Neon Hearts' with hopefully a free download to come before then. G ive him a listen and see what you think! And go and make friends too , obviously...
Ex Lion Tamer is the one man band from Edinburgh consisting of the enigmatic Tony T who works...well, I won't reveal where he works, but he does make some damn fine pop music. Yes, cooler-than-thou people I said POP. Tony T describes his influences as being 'Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Yazoo, Erasure, Rob Hubbard - things that sound clean' and says that Ex Lion Tamer sounds like the ending credits of low budget 80s teen movies - played on your mate's Amiga. With a gift for sarcasm that would put P.E. teachers to shame, he may be [...]

Bela Tarr's Cloud Of Reverbed Feelings (and the relation to Minimal Compact)
Bela Tarr is the moniker of Israeli bass player/guitarist Zoe Polanski. Long time a member of Israeli collective noise/folk ensemble of Katamine/Ex-Lion Tamer, this is her first solo release. She sounds like a big cloud of reverbred and filtered feelings with her big, dense sounds that is led by her chorused bass and guitar and dreamy vocal [...]

Ex Lion Tamer - Life Support Machine
Disregard the fact that this is being touted as a b-side, it's a fully functioning a-side in my eyes. And what an eighties sheen it has too, and before you scoff remember that that decade recorded the highest per capita choruses that the world has ever known. Ok, you might have trouble humming along to 'Life Support Machine' unless you are a Star Wars extra but it boasts a memorable pop

Happy New Year
Hello all, hope you had a good New Year's Eve - I had a good one, but even though I don't drink anymore I still feel exhausted. Ah well... So what's up for 2009? Musically, I'm predicting that guitar rock will take a back seat to more electronic sounds. At least, I am worn out with over-produced indie by numbers. It's not big and it's getting less and less clever. As for what the blog offers, expect the usual mix of the painfully obscure and the wildly obvious, bizarre covers, videos, interviews, tips on [...]

Ex Lion Tamer is the one man band from Edinburgh consisting of the enigmatic Tony T who works...well, I won't reveal where he works, but he does make some damn fine pop music.
