Som både Scuba og Portable/Bodycode tidligere har gjort, er Lando Kal også en af de producere der har valgt at opgive sin hjemstavn til fordel for nye vindstrøg i Berlin . Effekten på deres udgivelserne har været tydelig, og i Lando Kals tilfælde er det især tydeligt på hans nye udgivelse TMRW EP. Hvor A-Siden, TMRW , dog stadig viser mange af de samme tendenser som nogle af hans nyere produktioner, er det B-Siden No Newjack der virkelig står ud og viser helt nye sider fra amerikansk-fødte producer.

"With the news that Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, his bandmates would like everyone to send positive vibes to the guitarist at this time. Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan-the "IRON MAN" of Rock & Roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery. This comes as Black Sabbath - Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums)-are...
In 2012, One Fan at a Time is all about getting back to what it is that drives us – MUSIC. We have been rather inattentive and have not been keeping up with our favorite artists like we once did. So, here's to 2012 – a fresh start and a greater focus on Philly music. After all, we owe it to you (our wonderful readers), the artists, and ourselves. Music – too much is not enough.

RIP: DJ Mehdi, Joe Frazier, Amy Winehouse, Macho-Man Randy Savage, Nate Dogg, Heavy D, Jack Lalanne and Patrice ONeal. Who did I [...]
Anyone who's witnessed one of Foo Fighters near-three-hour tour dates in support of their worldwide #1, Album of the Year Grammy-nominated Wasting Light knows: They're the hardest rocking band on the current stadium and arena circuit. But now there's geoscientific evidence to prove it: the capacity crowd of 50,000 at the Foos' December 13 gig at Auckland, New Zealand's Western Springs Stadium generated actual detectable geological tremors. New Zealand media reported that nearby monitoring stations in Herne Bay and...

I can usually gauge my enjoyment of a television show based on how much my wife hates it. Flight of The Conchords is the perfect example of this. While I roll on the floor laughing my wife has that "huh, that's so stupid" look on her face. So the news of a potential Flight of The Conchords movie being on the horizon gives me the shakes and a great idea for a date night. Bret McKenzie has been out on the publicity circuit for the work that he did for The Muppets [...]

Some reflections for Thanksgiving: most of us make jokes about our flagging memories, but this is something to put almost all of that in perspective. - Scientists are trying to understand how amnesiacs can lose all memory of their past life - and yet remember music. The answer may be that musical memories are stored in a special part of the brain. When British conductor and musician Clive Wearing contracted a brain infection in 1985 he was left with a memory span of only 10 seconds. The infection - herpes encephalitis - left [...]

How legendary is the Legendary Long Weekend series? Well, Vancouver promotion crew Intimate Productions have been throwing the first rate bashes for 8 years. And while they usually try to showcase local Vancouver DJs and artists, they're occasionally tempted with truly international acts they can't refuse. Some of the highlights from past LLW parties include Booka Shade, DJ T, Matthew Dear aka Audion, Z-Trip, Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson. This Thursday, Nov.10th the party is LAST CALL FOR 2011 and is hosted at the spectacular Waldorf Hotel which is easily the best venue I've been too [...]

I caught Wye Oak last night at the Parish in Austin. The band's 2011 release, Civilian remains one of my favorites of the year. Thanks to a request the band returned for a encore to perform their cover of Danzig's "Mother," which first appeared here . Grantland (my new favorite website) premiered the new video from Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks . My Old Kentucky Blog shares a great new video from EMA [...]
