The VPME Ok so we were invited by BBC6music to pick three artists who had impressed us the most so far this year. Of course this was extremely tricky and so to narrow it down in our own minds, we decided to go down the route of brand spanking new artists, or at least ones who were new to us this year. We also felt this represented the ethos of the shows presenter Tom Robinson who is renowned for his championing of new bands through his BBC Introducing show and Fresh On The Net. [...]

Rest in music, Dick Clark.
Questa è una delle poche volte in cui mi rammarico di non avere un kindle: da giorni leggo un po' ovunque sul web americano ottimi pareri su Gods without men , ultimo libro di Hari Kunzru, e ora ci si mette anche Douglas Coupland sul New York Times , a dirmi che devo assolutamente leggerlo il prima possibile (e su amazon.it non c'è). E nel farlo, ci infila in mezzo una delle sue riflessioni couplandiane: One thing that struck me about the 9/11 footage shown during [...]

Basement Fever and HorrorShow Tunes are teaming up again under the Zeitgeist banner to present our fourth show.

Expect distorted, atmospheric textures combining guitar,electronics and delightful vocals. Listen to the excellent 'Towerblock Confetti' [...]
Good remixes are hard to find in the noise - good remixers, even harder. The RAC (Remix Artist Collective) are one of the few consistent ones. To give you an idea of their level of expertise, The Hype Machine recruited them to make one of their coveted Zeitgeit mixes last year. They've just released a new track, a take on Fixers' "Iron Deer Dream." Check it out, along with the Zeitgeist mix, below: Fixers - Iron Deer Dream (RAC Mix) by RAC [...]

Working again with Nathan Horrorshow Tunes under our Zeitgeist banner, we'd like to present you our third show - and our first of 2012. We wouldn't call our last two shows tame. We enjoyed them alot. But in comparison to our forthcoming third - again taking place at Kingston pub The Cricketers , on Friday February 17 , for £3 - they could seem it a little. We're taking things a little 'heavier'. Guitars will be louder, voices will be angrier, and the audience probably smellier. [...]

Following the success of our last show under the Zeitgeist banner, Nathan Horrorshow Tunes and I have decided to do it all again (only this time without the lugging of a heavy drum kit across Kingston, twice).

All three will play at The Cricketers in [...]
