Quick One... 2007-05-01 19:32:00 Had a day off work today, been outside, walking down a hill, taking some pics, enjoyed the nice weather, and I'm pretty exhausted now. Looks like an evening with telly and icecream! :)So here's just a pack of quick news: Delays have released a new live DVD (download trailer) and are working on their next album; visit Stereogum for a radio-rip of Interpol's new song about Heinrich; then head over to itsatrap for a new and utterly wonderful Moonbabies-song; go and touch a Guitar From Mars; join FreeIndie for a webmix of the Decemberists; and now watch the trailer for Danny Boyle's impressive new movie Sunshine with the wonderful Avenue Of Hope from I Am Kloot... perfect!!!

Another Break-Up... 2007-05-14 11:53:00 No more Aereogrammes! 2007 looks like its becoming the year of splits. After Belarus and The Cooper Temple Clause, Aereogramme have now also announced the end of the band. I've only discovered this band recently through their wonderful album My Heart Has A Wish That You Would Not Go, but they've played themselves into my heart rightaway. Sad news about that split, but I'm sure you will read more about this band here by the end of the year when those well-beloved top-lists are due. They will still play some final gigs throughout the summer; check their homepage for the dates.http://www.aereogramme.co.uk/http://www.myspace.com/aereogrammeofficialAereogramme - Nightmaresvia Matador Records:Aereogramme - WoodAereogramme - Zionist TimingTechnorati Tags: Aereogramme Read more:Break

This 'n That 2007-05-22 08:43:00 Dave from Glasgow's indie-pop-band AirSpiel has let me know that their rather great debut album In Another Life is now available on iTunes as well. They will also play as a support act to Deacon Blue and The Saw Doctors this coming saturday. More infos on their homepage, and you can still listen to the whole album on the bands bebo-profile!Another great band from Leeds starts emerging. Stateless has been around for a while now, and has already released a few EPs. The debut album should be out in a few weeks, and this interesting mix of Electronica, Trip-Hop and Indie-Rock could well stir some waves. The fact that singer Chris James sounds a bit like Chris Martin may help, too. Here are three studio-session songs, but make sure you visit the bands MySpace and listen to the excellent tune Down Here!http://www.statelessonline.co.uk/http://www.myspace.com/statelessonlineStateless - Down Here (Studio Session)Stateless - Horizon (Studio Session)Stateless - Running Out (Studio Session)UK dre
Hot Tracks Revisited 2007-05-26 07:13:00 You maybe might recall that I've started another blog called MOTM Hot Tracks a while ago (see the button on top right). I intended to put there my favourite tunes of the moment, so you can easily check what I'm listening to. Well, it started off quite good, but I somehow couldn't get myself to update it regularly after a while. So yesterday, I figured that it's about time to do something about it. So I revamped the Hot Tracks:- the tracks are no longer on a separate blog. I've put them on this very blog, and changed the link on the button to the new posting.- it will still open in a new window or tab for easier viewing- I will only post songs that are (or were!) available on the net for free and legal. No guarantee that the links will work forever though! (I will check them from time to time and remove expired ones)- the current favourites will be posted on top of the list, while past ones go at the bottom.- I've not yet decided on how I will let you know about the updates.

Flashback Friday - Live Recordings 2007-06-01 02:39:00 Had a busy week with the concerts, and therefore not much time to write for Flashback Friday
. So once again it's Mixtape-Time. And what better theme could there be than some Live Classics? Enjoy those tracks, and who knows... some of them might even bring back some memories of a great concert experience from the past?Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon (Live)Genesis - Ripples (Live)Pink Floyd - Hey You (Live)The Doors - Roadhouse Blues (Live)Eric Clapton - White Room (Live)Marillion - He Knows You Know (Live)Depeche Mode - Everything Counts (Live)Supertramp - School (Live)Technorati Tags: Billy Joel, Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Eric Clapton, Marillion, Depeche Mode, Supertramp Read more:Recordings
Band Of Horses Live 2007-05-31 04:03:00 So I went to see the Band Of Horses
' only concert in Switzerland yesterday. I did miss Midlake in April, so I made sure that this wouldn't happen again with my other favourite band from 2006!I remember the Boa in Lucerne as a good concert location (saw Calexico & Iron And Wine there last year). It's spacious, and you get good views to the stage even from the back. Well, that is if there's enough people at the concert. What I completely forgot about is that there's also a smaller room with a smaller stage, and since there were only about 50 or so people attending yesterday, the Band Of Horses played in that sticky, sweaty and smoky room... hmm...The concert started with Wayne Robbins & The Hellsayers. a band from North Carolina. Their mix of folk and indie-rock was quite good, and the guys seemed to have fun on stage. They didn't completely knock me out of my socks, but I've seen far worse. Listen to some songs below.Then it was time for the Horses. Crammed on the stage,
New Band To Waltz Along With 2007-06-05 02:19:00 The request of new MySpace-friends has recently slowed down a bit, and I'm not really concerned about it. It's definitely no use to have 1000s of "friends", but half of them doesn't do anything on MySpace, or just place ads into the comments or bulletin section. So I also checked through all my current friends recently, and discovered that there were already a few that no longer exist, or have even changed the band name. And there are quite a few ones that I don't even remember accepting! Anyway, a few requests still drop in from time to time, and every now and then, there's an artists that deserves more attention.When London band The Waltz
knocked on my door last week, I opened it widely after I've heard the three songs they're offering. Their indie-rock with heavy Britpop-influences is really something worth hearing. All of the three songs have great potential and caught my ear immediately. Be it the slow build-up of Man On The Run that remembered me of those early glorious Oa
