There is a U2-esque sound to this single with Bono like vocals and a gradual build up to the slight crescendo of a finale. It begins with simple piano chords and then introduces the vocals, and gradually builds up in a layer of instruments. Although the piano and the vocals are melodic, the song doesn't really develop, other than the slight change in volume and power of the vocals at the end. Read more..

Marco Carola nous présente son Essential Mix pour BBC Radio 1. 2 heures de set qui ne perturbe en aucun cas son image de roi de la techno. Pour ceux qui ne le connaitraient pas encore, Marco Carola est un pionnier de la Techno italienne qui a commencé dans l'organisation de soirées dans les années [...]
Thought I'd throw this little gem out there, so ya'll can start your Saturday felling funkier than ever. Opolopo, just threw this gem out there just for the kicks. Talk about talent... Opolopo: Stumbled across this old track from back in the mid nineties. Did it as a simple backing track for a "live" one man gig where I was freestyling with my home made 20 kg talk box! Heavily influenced by the Minneapolis sound of Jesse Johnson and Roger with a [...]
When reviewing an album I feel like I should have at least five listens the whole way through before the first word is typed. I have not kept track but I am sure since the process of reviewing The Hip-Hop Affect by J Rawls started I have listened to the album twenty times because it is that good. J Rawls has been a fixture in Hip Hop since the early nineties and was instrumental in launching the independent Hip Hop explosion of the late nineties with his production of "Yo, Yeah" and "Brown Skin Lady" on [...]
Born in the '90's - Mister Loveless I love watching a young band develop right before your eyes, as we've had the pleasure of watching Oakland's MISTER LOVELESS do since falling for their high school material almost five years ago. The band are now out of high school, and can buy their own drinks, and they are even headlining next week's RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO party at Milk Bar . They've gone from their dark and gothy, release the bats-esque - almost Bauhuas sound of " [...]
DJ Primate - Czech It Out Yall The Beast Tape is a collection of the only good beats I've been able to make in the span of 5 months or so. Even before the initial release date The Beast Tape has seen reviews like "nostalgic nineties nastiness", "rpimate got skills... really impressed" [sic], "ill shit", and my mom seems to like it a lot. I messed around with my sound on this album and went with a more 90's Prince Paul, Zev Love X approach by using a crapload [...]
I was sitting in American Ice on a beautiful Sunday afternoon this past weekend, indulging in a phenomenally prepared pastrami sandwich when a vaguely familiar mid-90's jam came on. A shazam later and I was reminded that it was the stylings of the Kirkwood brothers, Cris and Curt, of the Meat Puppets . "Backwater" is off their 1994 gold status CD Too High To Die produced by Butthole Surfer Paul Leary - this was back when people bought CD's apparently and didn't just shazam singles and post on their blogs. You're welcome. [...]
Ghettodance. Nuff Said. Gucci Mane - Pillz (Dave Luxe Ghettodance Remix) by Dave Luxe
Time to take a trip back to the mid-nineties in Cincinnati. A time when Sudsy Malone's was the best venue in the city, The Afghan Whigs were at their peak and MTV was still relevant to music fans. Someone uploaded this great VHS rip of a segment MTV did on our fair city, and I think it's certainly worth sharing this morning. Enjoy! Subscribe to the comments for this post? [...]
This is a photo from the 1990s. That's me on the left. I was sixteen years old. Notice the yin yang necklace buried under the hemp rope around my neck. That flannel shirt was my father's in the sixties. It was bright yellow plaid. This is how devoted I was to the nineties: that photograph was taken in a photo booth in an arcade by the South Carolina shore. In August. The degrees were in the nineties. I mention this to you because according to NPR, the 90s are coming back. I've waited on this since [...]
I suppose there are two things that spring to mind when we first approach Yuck . The first being, of course, the BBC's Sound Of 2011 list, and the second is Cajun Dance Party. We all know it's never fair to tackle an album with any expectations, but we also all know that it's almost impossible not to, especially when hype is already circulating. The Sound of 2011 list has been a great cause of debate this year, and the way it seems to allocate hype to bands almost at random doesn't seem logical. [...]
Many of us remember watching Saved by the Bell after school, and wishing we had the amazing style they did. Even if it was ten years after the show stopped airing, and you saw a re-run. Oversized t-shirts, large prints layered with other prints, skinny leg jeans, many components that we see in today's fashion trends. Who would have guessed that in nearly twenty years Saved By The Bell's pop culture style would be 'in' again. Thankfully, it is. Take for example Lisa from Saved By The Bell's dress below, [...]
The soundtrack to my Thursday nights working the bar at Forte will be tunes from the 1990s for the foreseeable future...
Inspired by the likes of Noam Chomsky and Crass, British band 70 Gwen Party (a duo of Victor N'Dip and Lurgin Pin) used their music as a platform for dissemination of their political views. Their distrust of the press and overall non-friendless toward media earned them as much reputation as their music. They started out in [...]
Interview with Final from 1985 MySpace Page Final is the apotheosized nomad. Shifting, flowing, ascending. A life's work. - Stephan Kasner Associated Entries: Godflesh, Jesu Although he demonstrated his interest in ambient/experimental music through involvement with bands like Techno Animal and Ice, Justin Broadrick's solo project Final remains an outlet for some of his most daring ideas. One can [...]
MySpace Fan Page UK Fan Site Much like The Shaggs before them, Half-Japanese were all about amateur rock music at its best (or worst, depending on a particular point of view). Started by brothers Jad and David Fair in the late 70s, the band rejected all conventional ideas about music and were some of the strongest supporters of [...]
Bay Area threesome (two of whom originally hail from Bozeman, Montana) Steel Pole Bath Tub put a happy face (well, sorta) on industrial-strength grind rock, leavening its pitbull riffs with jaggedly humorous short stories that couldn't be further from established noise-boy motifs. Trouser Press Official Site MySpace Page With their penchant for the use of bizarre TV samples, [...]
MySpace Page Epitonic Page As one of the heaviest bands in indie rock, Tumwater/ Olympia, WA trio Unwound were a practicioners of what All Music Guide called "indie-grindcore" - the band took roughness of Fugazi and some of the more rocking moments of Sonic Youth and multiplied it by 10. The resulting concoction was nothing short of [...]
