A l'heure où l'industrie du disque se casse la gueule, le lobby des majors et les gouvernements décident de bloquer le reste de créativité musicale. On bride la meilleure invention du XXIème siècle et par la même on prive les artistes émergents d'une reconnaissance nécessaire à la continuité de leur oeuvre pendant que ceux qui sont bien installés en haut de leur piédestal réclament leur moindre sous. Le système de l'industrie du disque ne fonctionne plus et ce n'est pas en essayant de le faire vivre comme la période pré-internet tel un zombie en fin de deuxième vie que les [...]

Όχι δεν κατέφυγαν κι αυτοί στον Eric Satie όπως θα περίμενε κανείς από τον τίτλο του video , αλλά στον Georges Méliès και το περίφημο 16 λεπτο ταξίδι του στο φεγγάρι του 1902. Τρελλή ψυχεδέλεια αν το καλοσκεφτεί κανείς...Πήχτρα στο μανιτάρι. Η σχεδόν ολοσχερώς κατεστραμένη κόπια χρειάστηκε 12 χρόνια να ανασυσταθεί και δόθηκε στους Nicolas Godin και Jean-Benoit Dunckel να την επενδύσουν ηχητικά. Αυτοί στην πορεία για το sountrack εμπνεύστηκαν ένα ολόκληρο δικό τους άλμπουμ. Οι (sexy boy) Air με το επικείμενο " Le Voyage dans la Lune" ενσκύπτουν στους πιονιέρους. Με τη συνεργασία της Victoria Legrand (Beach House) και των [...]

There's a common thread that ties together each of Gusmano Cesaretti 's photography collections. Each collection displays his uncanny ability to capture a specific place and time, in a way that feels almost mythical, and yet also deeply personal. While each series, taken as a whole, paints a sort of romanticized portrait of the place in question, the idiosyncratic details of each picture tell a story of their own. The pair of collections currently being shown at Los Angeles' Roberts & Tilton gallery- the first documenting 1970s East L.A., and the second depicting the harsh realities of [...]

City Boy is short and sweet - you'll want it to carry on and on despite it's short playing time, but that's fine - it just means you're bound to listen to it again and again. It takes you away to a peaceful place with it's relaxing, chilled aura, with it being a simple enough track with a layered, well thought-out and rich sound. Read more..

The Ventures - Walk Don't Run (by thebencharz ) Agree with the top commenter, the recorded version is better, but it's great that they did a hole new arrangement for live. Recorded in 1964.

I'll be honest, it's been a while since I've copped clothes from a store. I had to let Urban go once I realized the thrift shop down the street had the same gear for half the price. Nonetheless, there is still room for the dope brick and mortar in the 2012. Enter New Jack City . Stumbling upon it one day while walking through San Fran, I was pleasantly surprised by the intimate shop. Dedicated to the world of vintage streetwear, New Jack City sports one of the best collections of vintage pieces I've ever come across. Vintage Ralph [...]

Glenn Ligon is certainly not the first artist to use America as a conceptual framework through which to explore his own identity. But through some combination of Ligon's unique experience in America, and the biting wit and keen insight he brings to that discussion, his contribution stands as something definitive and original in contemporary art. Most noticeably, Ligon's art is about being black and about being gay in America. But far from transparent or obvious criticisms about race or sexuality, Ligon's work is highly conceptual, offering personal meditations that match the complexity of the subject matter he's approaching.

Dennis Brown - Man next door (by kockos ) There's a man that lives next door In my neighbourhood, He gets me down He gets in so late at nights Always a fuss and fight All through the night I've got to get away from here This is not a place for me to stay I've got to take my family And find a quiet place

You'd probably be forgiven for expecting Toro Y Moi, playing Coalition as part of the South coast's 'Viva La France', to be another French producer set to carry the electro torch. As a native of South Carolina USA though, with no ascertainable French connection, that's probably not the case. Aside from questioning the metrics used for choosing Viva La France's acts, Toro Y Moi's South Carolinian roots do help explain his part in the much touted 'chillwave' movement of Summer 2010 that has helped, and hindered, his career thus far. The reason being that Toro Y Moi and fellow 'chillwave' [...]

• Toro y Moi - Freaking Out

Κορίτσια με μαύρη μάγια και μάλλινες γκέτες, δρακουλιάρικες ταινίες, φαντάσματα σέρνουν τις αλυσίδες τους με κρότο. Φτηνιάρικοι φόβοι. Ερζάτς πολυτέλεια. Στόμφος και ψυχεδέλεια. Ποιός έχει πει στον κόσμο ότι τα ΄70ς are made of all these kitsch things? Δε λέω, κι εμένα με πιάνει καμιά φορά νοσταλγία για το παρελθόν που έζησα ή το παρελθόν που έχασα. Για να μου περάσει χαζεύω ταινίες με παστελ χρώματα και μελοδράματα ή πλένω τα πιάτα στο χέρι. Βυθίζομαι στην ηδονή της παχιάς σαπουνάδας. Στις διακοπές τρελλαίνομαι να πλένω με σαπούνι [...]

Last year , the world lost a true revolutionary. It seemed that only in the years leading up to his death, had greater pop culture begun to realize the true impact and importance Gil Scott-Heron had had on its own landscape. Though hip-hop and jazz historicists, vinyl collectors and political minds had been singing his praises for decades, it seemed that the last few years of his life saw that well-deserved reverence reaching an unprecedented level. The release of his final album, I'm New Here , a collaborative effort with XL Recordings founder Richard Russell, and the posthumous Jamie [...]

When you're doing your thing people always say, "Keep up the good work." It's like they see you going hard and they're like, damn if they just keep doing this, they're gonna get somewhere." I mean look at Lebron. How many times do you think he's heard the phrase, "Keep up the good work," or better yet, "good game?" Yeah, he has no jewelery but can you deny how far he's taken it? He went from a high school phenom to a global icon. How far are you gonna take it?

Oramics: Atlantis Anew (by The Wire Magazine ) Satz's film features Oram's custom built Oramics Machine, a visual synthesizer that uses drawn images to create sounds. After many years lost in storage the original Oramics Machine was restored and is now on show at London's Science Museum as part of their exhibition Oramics to Electronica: Revealing Histories of Electronic Music that looks at electronic music from the beginnings of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (founded by Oram) onwards. The film also features the voice of Oram reading from a draft of her 1971 book An Individual Note [...]
