You may have noticed that we have a little thing for Johnny Foreigner here at GFP . The bands new album Johnny Foreigner Vs Everything received the first 10/10 we've ever given and we followed it up with a huge interview with front-man Lex. Now in return the band have sent GoldFlakePaint, and you of course, a present in the form of three mix-tapes (one from each member of the band) containing the songs that inspired them while making their wonderful new record. Here's a little [...]

Tras cancelar el que sería su primer show en la Argentina en agosto de 2008, el súpergrupo canadiense Broken Social Scene no sólo se tomará revancha con sus fans argentinos con su visita en el marco del Personal Fest , sino que además tendrá su fecha en solitario el próximo 1ero de noviembre en La Trastienda Club . Si bien hace apenas unos días la banda de Kevin Drew anunció definitivamente que se tomará un descanso de la [...]

Somehow this year i've befriended a gentleman in one of the great bands of our time Broken Social Scene. When Justin told me they were finishing up material I couldnt have been more excited. THe first bits are leaking and they're just as epic and wonderful as ever. Get familiar

Can't believe it's already been a decade. I'm trying to think about the person I used 2 be back in 1999. I wonder how familiar I am with that bro, or how much I respect him. Theoretically, I have grown up and become a more 'cultured' person with a developed+refined taste in all aspects of life, including my favourite music. Piecing together 'The Best Albums/Artists/Songs/Bands of the Decade' seems tricky, like some sort of existential reflection of urself. I feel like most websites that focus on music create 'best of year/decade' [...]

I had a beautiful time away from home. And it is so easy to forget about everything when the sun hits your face. Then you're warm with no silly worries. I didn't mind a thing. I slept better during those last few days than I have in the last couple of days. I had no complaints. I'm counting each glass of water I drink. I'm drinking more water now because sometimes when your mind gets so full, you don't even know that you're not drinking enough. Little guy by the window is still fighting to make us [...]

Land Of Talk (12/15/06) Tonight's BSS, LOT show is sold out, but for those of you going, I have a little preview.I finally listened to the new Land of Talk album last night and it is pretty good. It's not anything really special, just some nice music that will probably make for a great opener. Here's two tracks I like: Land Of Talk : Give Me Back My Heart Attack Land Of Talk : [...]

Broken Social Scene October 16, 2008 The Beaumont Club Better Than: Getting shit on by a Canadian goose. By BERRY ANDERSON One fall morning, at the ripe age of 17, I excitedly took a place in line at 5:30 a.m. in the Kansas Union for tickets to see Tori Amos on her Dew Drop Inn tour at the Lied Center. Shivering in my KU hoodie, I didn't know at the time that I was also in [...]

Inicialmente um duo, o coletivo canadense Broken Social Scene foi formado por Kevin Drew e Brendan Canning que, logo após o lançamento do cd de estréia, Feel Good Lost , sentiram que se fossem adicionadas diferentes idéias e estilos ao experimenento a coisa ficaria muito mais divertida. O caráter despretencioso do BSS abriu espaço para que amigos de outros projetos completamente distintos como Metric , Stars, The Dears , [...]
Woke up way too early for a sunday... Sigh. How would you feel about the next vinyl rip being the legendary debut by Violent Femmes? Maybe I should turn on the comments so you can give your 2 cents on the next vinyl rip.... =) Time for some visual love from the latter component of the Audio/Visual Club, enjoy! The Shins - Pink Bullets [...]
