Books: Greg Kihn’s Rubber Soul — and the plot to kill the Beatles

May 4, 9:17am Something Else! Reviews
The Beatles - Live at the Ernst Merck Halle 1966 (16mm Footage) [HiD]
Greg Kihn is best known these days for 1980s-era hits like "Jeopardy" and "The Breakup Song," or perhaps for his longtime tenure as a DJ on San Jose's KUFX. But he's also been a published author since 1996, starting with "Horror Show" - which was nominated in the best first novel category of the Bram Stoker Awards. Kihn's fifth work [...]

Nativity In Manila [Upcoming Events + Tour Dates]

Apr 18, 8:57pm Dank Radio
Nativity In Manila [Upcoming Events + Tour Dates] Greetings Everyone! Apologies for the lack of musical messages on Dank Radio for the past couple weeks or so. I've been gearing up for a trip to the motherland: The Philippines. I'm headed out there for some family fun and figured, "Why don't I have some musical fun as well?!" So I sought out help from a few Los Angeles based music friends [Alvin of Renegades of Dub + Spazzkid ] and reached out to a handful of wonderful DJs/Promoters/Organizers/Party People and worked out some dates. I still have a few more that have yet to be [...]

Back Aboard the Ocean Star, CONCLΔVE.

Mar 4, 9:03am Dots & Dashes
It was under a month ago that we were singing the indescribable praises of Filipino wunderkind CONCLΔVE , and we're somewhat inevitably right back at it with the release of Ocean Star. Again featuring a fellow compatriot, where once sang Berna So it's this time the turn of Biñan resident Luxe Calip to layer her lavish contralto over snappy pop beats and surging electronic melodics. Calip has quite evidently spent much of these past twelve months hooked up to  Born To Die , and that her squeaky clean delivery should be proficiently placed atop [...]

On the Horizon: Drifter from the land of the thousand islands, CONCLΔVE.

Feb 15, 5:31am Dots & Dashes
I'd be fibbing were I to feign a profound knowledge of the Philippine music scene, though this one from inscrutable young 'beatsmith'  CONCLΔVE ought to have us all delving that bit deeper. The boy provides languid, spacked-out pulses and crunky cadences whilst the girl (accomplice Berna So) brings a woozy, nonphysical ethereality to proceedings with a wondrously disinterested vocal quality. They are, like its title Melted, of a gooey inconsistency that, mirage-like, drift in and out of focus ingeniously as though caught in a viscous web of time. Then, just shy of four, they're gone altogether. [...]

Eyedress - Everything We Touch Turns Into Gold
∆∆∆ I only found out about Eyedress a couple of weeks ago  but he's already coming out with more. If I mentioned he was stylish last time, I've got to scream it this time. Look at the video for 'Everything We Touch Turns Into Gold.' Look at those chains. Look at those threads. Look at the art direction entirely. Big shouts to everyone involved (they're listed in the intro sequence); from what they've shown the Philippines is the place to be. Everything is next level; everything is golden. The music is too. You can also [...]

Eccentric's Revelation on the Artwork of Wake Up! by Z

Jul 14, 2012, 10:56am Dank Radio
Eccentric's Revelation on the Artwork of Wake Up! by Z Official: Z One year ago TODAY marks the birth of BEATMASTER's [e]ccentricity. The 'Wake Up' album artwork is a visual response to the frequencies of the powerful tune created by the interstellar multi-instrumentalists known as Z. Inspired by the Legend of the Sun, the design's imagery and palette showcases our most sacred source of light and energy. Exhibiting my roots to the Philippine Islands, the 8 Sun rays represent the first 8 provinces of the Philippines that first revolted against Spain sparking Revolution and Independence. The 6 repetitions of Wake Up! represent the [...]

In Defense of Lady Gaga -- and Bangkok!

May 25, 2012, 10:16am THEME FOR GREAT CITIES
In Defense of Lady Gaga -- and Bangkok! Lady Gaga just can't seem to get it right in Asia, the first continental stop on "The Born This Way Ball," her world tour, now in progress. Christian groups in South Korea and the Philippines, where she's already performed, blasted her less than family friendly brand of entertainment, which has led to a possible Gaga-concert ban by Islamists in Indonesia. (The June 3 show in Jakarta has been "tentatively cancelled.") And now, she's being criticized by some of the local populace in Bangkok, where she's due to hit the stage any minute now. This time, it's not [...]

[qd-4271] Evo Evolver - Dystopian Dream EP

Apr 5, 2012, 2:19pm DEEPGOA's Electronic Sessions
[qd-4271] Evo Evolver - Dystopian Dream EP On his third EP release on QED Records, Evo Evolver (aka Araknidus aka Philippine dnb musician Myke Madriaga) dishes out melodic two-step and drum&bass replete with expansive atmospheres and cinematic elements. There's even a hint of the wobbly aggressive bass made famous by dubstep artists of every age and stripe right alongside lush and melodic strings. Evo Evolver creates smooth, cosmopolitan drum&bass music rife with tension. In his music you hear opposing poles struggling for control: grime and glamor, light and dark, rest and note, indie and mainstream, the decaying future and the thriving present. [...]

EVENT (Manila, Philippines): J Dilla – Tribute To The Life & Sound [02/10]!

EVENT (Manila, Philippines): J Dilla – Tribute To The Life & Sound [02/10]! CLICK PICTURE TO VIEW FLYER  Yesterday afternoon someone responded to my tweet in regards to #DillaDay events in the states. And in my response to the tweet, I decided to go searching for some of these events on my own. During my search I found some tributes that went down last month (trust me, it didnt make any sense to me, either). So when I was searching through facebook, I came upon this  (which threw me for a loop; mind-boggled me). Yes, J Dilla touched the Philippines, y'all. The [...]

Some Gorgeous Accident: PanoramaTumblr-veter an Pierreism points...

Dec 1, 2011, 5:00am Music Fans Mic
Some Gorgeous Accident : Panorama Tumblr-veteran Pierreism  points out that Some Gorgeous Accident , far from being another bunch of cultured so-and-sos from Brooklyn, are based in the Philippines. Perhaps being so detached from the shoegaze, guitar-pop American sound has contributed in part towards their truly unique, undeniably beautiful “dreamgaze” pop. And that name . It’s the fitting companion to a song like ‘ Panorama ’, lavished in gently evolving atmospherics and gorgeous guitar lines. The band have nearly one follower per song on their soundcloud account .

Why I'm Still in Bangkok

Oct 27, 2011, 6:52am THEME FOR GREAT CITIES
Why I'm Still in Bangkok There's a storm front rolling in. Not the kind that brings thunder, lightning and torrential downpours. In fact, at the moment, the skies over Bangkok are only partly cloudy and have been mostly clear for the majority of the week (unlike as in the photo above, which I took from my balcony on October 16). The storm front that I'm talking about will bring water from down below, moving in the opposite direction, upward. By some reports, up to 1.5 meters up in central Bangkok. Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is saying there's a [...]

Love for Loft965.com! Following the three year anniversary celebrations of Loft965.com, some people went a little extra to show their love for our little blog. Other than the cyber-success we are having, it's always great to see that some feel passionately about the blog to take the time out to show it.
