McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) -- MODESTO, Calif. - For 35 years, listeners to Weird Al Yankovic have focused on his words. Of course, that is the stock in trade for every performer whose livelihood is based on putting new words to already-successful melodies and styles, and Yankovic is the all-time undisputed champion of that sparsely populated genre. But as Yankovic's craft has developed from the early accordion-based song parodies, through his full cinematic years on MTV and into the current...
Most conversations or analyses discussing St. Vincent's Annie Clark tend to revolve around two things: she's very good at guitar, and she's extremely sexy when playing it. There aren't very many female guitar players in independent rock music, so when one comes along who's both very good at guitar, and looks very good while playing, [...]

Wir leben im Zeitalter der Täuschung. Versprechen, Lügen, künstlich herbeigeführte Entscheidungssituationen, Gefühlsatmosphären, Sinnestäuschungen, Wohlfühlräume (Verkaufsraumbeduftung- Allergiker rätseln über ihre Beschwerden), Düfte und Gerüche als Erinnerungsstempel, Farben und Licht um Gefühle zu provozieren und als Motivationsimpulse... Hier wird gezeigt, wie die Industrie die Farbgebung von Produkten 3 "Marktjahre" im Voraus bestimmt (Farbenkonferenz in Bilbao/Baskenland/Spanien). Die Color-Marketing-Group bestimmt die global wahrnehmbaren Produkte der Zukunft. Warum sehen wir wieder weisse Mittelklasseautos? Weiss - eine Autofarbe die viele Jahrzehnte als langweilig, schlecht weiterzuverkaufen und schwer zu pflegen galt? Das industrielle Angebot wird zuerst marketingpsychologisch eingeführt. Der Massengeschmack, die Konsumenten werden [...]

A lot has been said about the failure of Hypemachine's popular track charts due to the ease of manipulating the voting system. See 3 Simple Steps to Becoming a Hypemachine Hit-maker and The Machine is Just Hype . Regardless, the aggregated blogosphere generally allows you to see if something is actually good as the majority of artists worth their salt have multiple posts by a variety of different blogs talking about them. Recently I uncovered a new strategy that not only involves Hypmachine but has combined the use of generically titled Facebook fan pages, the use of [...]

[Kontra-Musik] (buy vinyl 1 / 2 / 3 ) (buy mp3s tk) The Swedish producer Andreas Tilliander has long been a shapeshifter in electronic music. Under numerous names, he's been instrumental in the development of "clicks & cuts" with Mille Plateaux and ambient IDM under the Mokira name. After being nominated twice, he won a Swedish Grammy for his album World Industries in 2005. His reach extended into mastering and running a label, both under the name Repeatle. His brand of richly layered, thick electronics carries over in [...]
Manipulation Manipulation 2 (Sorry State) My favorite thing about this 7-inch from Manipulation is the way they work in contrasts. Manipulation ramp up heading into the breakdowns, and that's saying something, of course, given the frenetic pace at which the band is already moving. Still, it seems the band punches up the energy ...

Autistic Youth Three if-anything-sets-off-my-Fallin g-Down-moment-it'll-be-these-f ucking-leaf-blowers reasons to prepare your most disinterested face and head over to Ronny's tonight... 1. Punk Rock! Yeah, it's been mall-a-fied and the Ramones may be Muzak approved, but when it's done right it still itches that scratch. Portland's Autistic Youth do it right. Firstly, there's "youth" right in the name. That's punk rock 101 there. Plus, their songs hearken back to the snotty anthems of The Adolescents, a band that was my soundtrack to more than one summer.

One of the meatiest twitter streams I follow is that of composer Stephan Mathieu . His feed is always chock full of quality be it from him or otherwise. Video excerpt of his Virginals set at Steirischer Herbst is stunning, and so is his earlier Crónica selection " On the Concept of History ". Don't miss, and follow him if you take my advice!

The Fall of Troy have made up for everything that was wrong with Manipulator . The Mulkiteo, WA trio are back with the Phantom on the Horizon , a five-track EP revolving around a story that his been brewing in the band's mind for many years. This effort is different from anything the band has done before - rather than release a mini-collection of individual songs, Phantom on the Horizon is more like one "flowing" song divided into multiple tracks. I use the word "flowing" hesitantly because, if you're at all familiar with the band, you [...]
