Turn On Your Radio 2007-08-28 02:20:00 Busy working day today, so I just introduce you to this fine band with the press material that I've received. Find a couple of very pleasant songs after the writings (especially if you're into bands like Band Of Horses or Midlake!) the story: An album 2 years in the making, This Too Will Pass represents an emotionally intense amalgam of anxiety, isolation, and a series of transient experiences gathered over this turbulent era. It follows artist Hrishikesh Hirway through several relationships and residences; a break-up in Los Angeles following his last album, an uncle’s divorce in India severing a long year of writer’s block, a year of solitude spent crafting new material in his childhood home now vacant, and various stints on friends’ couches and apartments taking him from Los Angeles to Rhode Island. This Too Will Pass is a cathartic journey examining the depths of these experien Read more:Radio

Flashback Friday - Bang Your Head 2007-08-31 02:32:00 After the last more disco- and dance-orientated Flashback Friday
s, it's once again time to unpack the guitars, put on your patch-loaded jeans-jacket and get rocking! Now extended versions or remixes of rock songs are rather scarce, but I managed to dig up some really cool ones, not least with the help of the Born Again 80s-forum which was once again a great help in finding these. So without further ado, gather your friends and a few beers, make some space in your living room, and let the airguitar-battle begin! :)Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' (Cygnet Mix)ZZ Top - Legs (Remix)Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Red & Blue Mix)Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love (Extended Mix)Foreigner - That Was Yesterday (Extended Version)Killing Joke - Love Like Blood (Gestalt Mix)
Flashback Friday - Ah Yes... What Was That??? 2007-09-21 02:25:00 When it comes to song titles, some artists just don't know when to stop. Some like it cryptic (anyone knows what the title dcbtfoabaaposba from Dredg's El Cielo means??? Actually, you can find out here), some just loooove long titles (check out the tracklist of Red Sparowes latest album Every Red Heart Shines Toward The Red Sun!), and others seem to have had serious issues with childhood traumas. What else can it be if you have to name a song like these ones here:Bobby Darin - Splish Splashyeah... definitely been in the hot water for a bit too long!Bryan Hyland - Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot BikiniI don't even want to know where the idea for this one came from!City Boy - The Hap-Ki-Do KidHap-Ki-Do? Some kind of ancient Chinese self-defense-technique? Beats me...Edsels - Rama Lama Ding Dongyou go and answer the door this time, ok?Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-VidaThat's what happens when you try to say In The Garden Of Venus with your mouth full of cookies (and maybe a Read more:Friday

Beep-Beep 2007-09-10 03:08:00 I'm not writing very much about Electronica, but I do have a soft spot for that synthetic stuff somewhere inside me. I guess the 80ies must have planted that bug. Anyway, I just came across this project called Datassette, and after listening to a few tunes, I've decided that it's good enough to get a mention here.Information on who's behind Datassette is scarce; I only know that the project's based in London and has been around for a few years now. It could well be another "bedroom-artist", but then, it could also not. Maybe someone knows a bit more than me...?What made me take a closer look at Datassette is the cover-versions that he/she/they offer on their website. Be it the reworks of classics like Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush and Don't You Want Me from Human League, or newer stuff like Untitled from Interpol and that certain whistling song from Peter, Björn & Benny (or something like that... ;) ); Datassette's versions sound very fresh, but manage to keep the spiri

Trapped! 2007-09-04 02:58:00 Portland, Oregon. Home of Blitzen Trapper. Not to bad a name, but I'm still trying to figure out what it means. According to Wikipedia, the Blitzen machine is a special computer system. Or the German word for Lightning. Wonder how many lightnings (or computers) the band has trapped so far... but I guess we'll never know.What we do know though is that Blitzen Trapper has a couple of fine songs up their sleeves. I've just recently found out about the band (thanks to Michel!), and I still have some work ahead to discover all of their works, but the sound bits that I've found on the web made me thirst for more. Be it the perfectly relaxed indie-folk of Summertwin, the dry, country-inspired Texaco or 60s-rock-rooted Wild Mountain Nation... all of these songs are highly appealing, and I wonder why I've never heard of this band before. But I have now, and I do hope that you will also give Blitzen Trapper a good earfull! It might be your last chance to catch a glimpse of summer 2007!http:
