Neun Konzerte an drei Tagen: Das Saint Ghetto Festival beschert vom 22. bis zum 24. November heilige Abende in Bern. Das Saint Ghetto Festival sorgt mit dem 3 x 3 der musikalischen Völlerei für voradventliche Glückseligkeit in Bern. Im Gegensatz zur allgemeinen Bescherung an Weihnachten ist das Programm der Dampfzentrale bekannt: Am Donnerstag erledigen mit Phantom Ghost und Sven Kacirek Hamburger den Grossteil des Unterhaltungsgeschäfts. Für die Auflockerung der deutschen Dominanz sind die internationalen Perkussionskönige David Maranha & Z`EV zuständig. Freitags [...]

I think this the first proper and best live recording from long time favourite Icelandic cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir, "Erupting Light" is taken from her second album "Without Sinking" out on the awesome experimental label Touch and Hildur is a highly regarded musician with countless collaboration like Múm, Fever Ray, Nico Muhly.

Om even bij platen te blijven die vanwege het artwork opvallen, pik ik er Life Sux van Wavves uit. Het lo-fi zwart-wit hoesje, versierd met een omgekeerd kruis en een pentagram beloofd misschien meer dan het waarmaakt. Enfant terrible Nathan Williams is namelijk - wat later dan gebruikelijk - op weg naar volwassenheid en dat heeft z’n weerslag op de gruizige punk waar hij op bekend staat. Het klinkt vandaag de dag nogal [...]

...After years of pursuing Angels of Light and recording and producing a diverse roster of artists for his Young God label, Michael Gira has decided to reconvene his legendary group Swans. As he says: “THIS IS NOT A REUNION. It’s not some dumb-ass nostalgia act. It is not repeating the past. After 5 Angels Of Light albums, I needed a way to move FORWARD, in a new direction, and it just so happens that revivifying the idea of Swans is allowing me to do that. “ (διαγωνίως εδώ) [...]
