Club 8 classics re-issued with bonus tracks

Club 8 "The Friend I Once Had" (1998) + 6 bonus track

With a glittery mix of jangly guitars, bossa nova and sophisticated, melancholic pop melodies, ”The Friend I Once Had” was a big step forwards for Club 8. Their debut album ”Nouvelle” may be regarded as a twee pop classic by some, but the band would happily bury most those songs under a rock. This is the album they wish was their debut.

"It is absolutely essential to own at least one Lp by this group. I'd probably suggest this one as the place to start, but you really can't go wrong.” 10 + INDIESPINZONE

Club 8 "S/T" (2001) + 2 bonus tracks

You could tell directly from the opening track that this was another move in a new direction for Club 8. “Love in december” is breathtaking, soulful pop imbued by dark Scandinavian winter atmosphere and bittersweet melancholy.

"If a lover's arms were as soft and sultry as the music on Club 8, returning to them again and again would pose little conflict, and the same goes for slipping into Club 8." ROLLING STONE

Club 8 "Spring Came, Rain Fell" (2002) + 5 bonus tracks


A start of a new era for Club 8. ”Spring came, rain fell” was the first album they recorded on their own in the now famous Summersound Studios which they share with fellow band Acid House Kings. The album sparkles of experimental lust with songs & sounds ranging from dub and electronica to smokey trip hop and folky- and acoustic pop.

"As summer slips away, wallow in some Scandinavian sadness with this Swedish duo's wonderfully soothing (UK) début."
TIME OUT (London)

Club 8 "Strangely beautiful" (2003) + 5 bonus tracks

The last of three albums in Club 8’s productive peak between 2001 and 2003 is by many considered their best album to that date. Includes the noisy and Northern Soul-inspired single “Saturday night engine” which was a clear forerunner to The Legends ”Up against the Legends”.

”Club 8 fans and indie poppers should be overjoyed.”

Seguro que con tanto disco y tanta música me pierdo algo interesante. Y esto de ir pillando lo que caiga, hace que el blog y mi gusto sea algo caótico.

UN DÍA EN EL MUNDO

A comienzos de 2008 Vetusta Morla publicarán su LP debut, Un Día en el Mundo. El álbum es un resumen musical de 9 años en busca de asimilar cuidados textos en castellano a los esquemas de la música popular anglosajona que forma parte del historial de estos 6 músicos. 9 años en los que han construido una identidad sónica usando la instrumentación de un combo clásico de rock, pero huyendo del lenguaje convencional del género.

Vetusta Morla es una banda que se ha forjado sobre el escenario y el núcleo de la formación es la complicidad, la pasión y la inmediatez de la música en vivo. En su primer álbum Un Día en el Mundo han tratado de recrear ese hechizo mágico, esa fuerza emocional estremecedora del directo, con un sonido premeditadamente natural, sin apenas trucos de producción y sin fuegos de artificio.

Un Día en el Mundo, es un fotograma sacado de una historia mayor, una historia inabarcable que se intuye en las experiencias cotidianas, sin acabar desvelarse. Sus canciones son píldoras casi cinematográficas, enigmas cuya clave sólo tiene cada persona que las escucha y que es invitada a llenar por sí misma los espacios en blanco.

Durante casi una década Vetusta Morla se han ganado una reputación de independencia, más allá de los tópicos sobre esta palabra. Esta reputación se confirma con la creación de un sello propio en sociedad con sus productores: Pequeño Salto Mortal, un nombre que resume lo que significa ser fiel a uno mismo y empeñarse en hacer canciones en tiempos de incertidumbre.

Bio en su MySpace:

Recent transplants from California, Cattywompus moved to Austin after playing in Texas during an extensive tour of the US in 2006. "We fell in love with the people and the music" James Webber sited as the reason for the move to the Lone Star State. "We respect the history of the great artists from Texas and the love that Texan's have for live music. We had some good adventures while we toured TX."
Brothers James (bass) and John (drums) Webber have been playing music since they were teens, heavily influence by their father's love of music and playing. "Our father was a percussion player. He would make us stay up late and listen to all of his old records, and in the mornings we would see various band mates passed out on the couches as we left for school," John Webber remembers.

James and Jonathan Lennartz met in high school and became immediate friends through their love of music. Jonathan started playing and writing music in college, and has since used songwriting as an outlet for his own emotions and life experiences. Aaron Bateman, Florida native, met James in 2001, the two began jamming, along with John and Jonathan, and began forming a unique sound that represented each member's individual personality and influences.

Cattywompus is a band dedicated to American Roots music. As diverse as America itself, so is the band's musical heritage. Whether it be Rock, Country, Blues or Folk no specific genre accurately pin points Cattywompus. The four have been playing together for six years developing their craft under the influence of the Rolling Stones, Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons, Neil Young and countless others.

Bio en su web:

George Bush Sr., while in office, and visiting Portland, Oregon for the first time, was met with massive resistance and protests from the liberal city’s citizens. Some went as far as to ingest red, white, and blue food coloring in hopes of regurgitating the colors of the flag on Bush’s entourage. This led to the elder Bush nicknaming the city “Little Beirut”, a name that earned Portland national attention, and one that has stuck to this day and is recited as a badge of honor by many in the city.
Little Beirut is also a Portland, Oregon-based rock quartet that designs beautiful, lush songs on their commercial debut, “High Dive”, a collection of well-written, hook-laden, sweet pop nuggets that are just as much about the melody as they are a driving rhythm. Instantly accessible and easily memorable, don’t be fooled, because beyond their sugary exterior are vivid, deep lyrical assets to ensure these songs are anything but pop fluff.

Tying into the Bush-coined name of the band, Little Beirut tackles the younger Bush’s administration, namely Condoleezza Rice, with a love song entitled “Love During Wartime”.

“’Love During Wartime’,” explains vocalist Hamilton Sims, “is a jab at the war and the goings on of the Bush administration. But it’s also a jab at the fact that in order for [Rice] to become the most powerful woman in the history of U.S. politics, she had to be completely desexualized to make it okay. Hence why a love song to her seems so absurd.”

“High Dive” was a long time coming for Little Beirut’s two founding members, Hamilton Sims (vocals, guitar) and Edwin Paroissien (guitar, vocals), two friends that have played together for years, most notably in Silkenseed, a pop-rock outfit that had major label attention following their 1998 sophomore album, “Hurry Home” (Rainforest Records) and garnered praise from publications like Billboard, which described their songwriting partnership as “…instant pop hooks and tight guitar/rhythm interplay that mainstream rock has begun to embrace”.

Silkenseed disbanded in 2000 following a departure a year earlier by Sims, who left to go back east to attend graduate school.

Staying in contact throughout Sims’ graduate work, Sims eventually returned to Portland in 2004, and Paroissien and Sims started hanging out, writing songs together. These sessions lead to a 2004 studio demo, “Permanent Kiss”, which helped the duo morph into a four-piece with the addition of drummer Alex Inman and bassist Jon Trause.

Excitement and material grew within the band as they gigged locally and occasionally regionally.

Ready to record their proper debut, Little Beirut entered Portland’s Type Foundry to record what would become their commercial debut, “High Dive”, which will be self-released in February 2008.

Assisting them at Type Foundry were engineers Adam Seltzer (Norfolk & Western, M. Ward) and Badman Recording Co. owner Dylan Magierek, as well as local singer-songwriter and Portland music renaissance man Chris Robley, who co-produced “High Dive” with Little Beirut.

Having never used an outside producer or multiple engineers, Little Beirut realized they needed to push themselves beyond what they had done in the past if they were to fully realize the album they envisioned.

“We wanted to bring in outside opinions to help us with objectiveness and to make the recording more collaborative,” explains Paroissien. “We wanted horns, strings, and keys. We were anxious to move beyond the standard two guitars, bass, and drums set-up we’d done before, and felt seeking help on this would allow us to realize exactly what we wanted to do, without over-complicating the recordings or losing the songs in layers upon layers of instrumentation”.

This opened several new doors for the band in the creative department, invigorating them and encouraging them to test out new ideas, new sounds, and new boundaries.

“We experimented with different tempos, keys, and arrangements, until we got the songs either exactly to, or pretty close to where we wanted them,” Sims says with enthusiasm. “Once we got a song where we wanted it, we’d bring in Chris Robley, who would often trim the fat, re-work the arrangements to fit in orchestration, and help us really develop everything for the benefit of the song. We were able to get a lot of the lush harmonies and orchestrations through this process.”

Once the tracking was done, the band brought the record to the hands (and ears) of mixing engineer extraordinaire Jeff Stuart Saltzmann (Stephen Malkmus, Sleater-Kinney, Death Cab For Cutie, Menomena), giving “High Dive” a timeless sound and feel, ensuring it is just as much about the music as it is the mood for the listener.

All the time and hard work paid off. With the completion of “High Dive”, Little Beirut felt proud that they created a record that spoke not only through the lyrics, but with the music, too, delivering vivid imagery for the listener.

“The imagery of ‘High Dive’ touches on several recurring themes throughout the album,” explains Paroissien. “When you’re on top of a high dive, you’re completely alone, there’s an air of anticipation because either way, something major is about to happen, whether you jump or back down, or do something else. Each choice will have a major impact on the outcome of the event you choose.”

With a release date for “High Dive” set for February 2008, Little Beirut will bring their brand of rock to clubs, doing everything the old fashioned way, winning over one fan at a time with a strong record and a powerful live show to back it up.

Cast your mind back to the year 1999, to a world on the brink of a new millennium. A time when dance music was still at large, Apple and iPod were still conspiring in the wings for global domination and now ubiquitous artists such as David Gray were still broke. Joss Stone wasn't even a teenager! In the thick of all this, you may remember a singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist by the name of Merz.

Following the self-released 7 inch single championed by the likes of Jarvis Cocker and called “Many Weathers Apart”, a fierce battle for his signature by several major record labels, Conrad Lambert aka Merz signed to Sony/Epic and looked set to conquer the world. His debut album received widespread critical acclaim and led to appearances on Top Of The Pops, Jools Holland, and was subject to a Channel 4 music documentary. Huge support and Single of the Week also came from Radio 1’s Jo Whiley and an appearance at Glastonbury, featuring on the same bill as a group called Coldplay, who later became firm friends. His music was embraced by the then unreconstructed genre that was English folk, electronica and the fringes of dance (Pete Tong was a fan of some particularly tasty Francois K mixes) and would even be heard on soaps like Eastenders and Coronation Street.

Since his considerable splash in 1999, Merz has apparently disappeared without a trace. But six years later, he is well and truly back with a dazzling album, Loveheart. Elaborating on his early pastoral influences, the album features an astonishing range of delicate instrumentation, and crucially, is illuminated by brilliant arrangements, Loveheart is the work of a gifted and passionate songwriter with a rare musical talent.

Naturally, the first question is – what happened?

Despite a glittering entree to the pop music world, major label shenanigans ensued, leading Conrad down an unexpected road. “For any musician to walk away from a record deal goes against all your inherent instincts," he admits, "so it was a tough decision but absolutely the right one.”

Conrad worked on songs for his next album in Bath. “I worked hard for those years, but had a very unsettled life which made it difficult to complete a coherent album of songs.” Writing turned into a fraught, all-consuming process, and eventually he moved back to a small flat in Yorkshire to continue working towards Loveheart.

He found himself signing back on the dole in his hometown of Huddersfield. “That was very difficult, even more so as I signed on back where I grew up, which felt like going right back to square one on the Snakes and Ladders board.” The anguish of “Mentor”, where Conrad cries out for some kind of guidance – “be my mentor, won’t you influence the things I do / Step down here, be my mentor, I want your influence, I do” – comes from as raw and honest a place as has ever been committed to song.
Living a solitary life in the moors took its toll, inspiring moments of elegiac melancholia that emerge on the mellifluous piano-led album opener, “Postcard From A Dark Star”, where Conrad’s yearning, husky voice aches for “contact, my only wish is contact, my only dream is contact”.

Recorded on location in an empty 17th century parsonage, the sense of lonely isolation is palpable on the haunting “My Name Is Sad And At Sea”, where bells from distant ghost ships toll eerily in the background.

“It was gargantuan effort,” Conrad admits. “The hardest thing of all was getting up in the morning.” But slowly the record began to take shape, modelled by late night drives to and from Yorkshire. “The album is heavily influenced by the Late Junction show on Radio 3 and the John Peel show on Radio 1," Conrad smiles. "I used to write and record in Yorkshire but drive to Bath in between sessions to visit my girlfriend. I’d always drive at night on a weekday so I could listen to those shows. They had such a wide spectrum of music and it was all about discovery. It was great to switch from one show to the other, I’d kind of amalgamate both shows to make my ideal radio show."

Indeed, times were not all so bleak. Conrad married his long-time American girlfriend Jess in Mongolia, where his parents have lived for some fourteen years, and where Jess had also spent a year as an editor on a local English newspaper. Conrad found himself blossoming with ravishing songs like the intoxicated dance-on-air of "Dangerous Heady Love Scheme" and infatuated delirium of “Butterfly”. The enveloping intimacy of "Warm Cigarette Room" where “everything’s how it’s supposed to be” pointed the way out of the maze.

Loveheart was co-produced with Bruno Ellingham (respected engineer on recent albums by New Order, KT Tunstall and The Departure and emerging British producer of note). "He was like an Oxford professor," Conrad says, "I would come to him with my demos and recordings and he would give me detailed notes to go away and work on." Recorded in 12 different locations around Bath, Bristol and The Pennines, and finally finished on St Valentine’s Day 2005, West Country mates including Goldfrapp bass player Charlie Jones and Portishead / Beth Gibbons / Robert Plant accomplice John Baggot also lent a hand on harpsichord, while Norway’s Even Johansen (aka Magnet) contributed lap steel guitar.

Rich in distinctive instrumentation (including Wurlitzer piano, ukelele, mandolin, Hammond Organ, harmonica, Native American bass drum as well as drum machines, synths and numerous electric and acoustic guitars), but never overcooked, Loveheart draws from experiences of intense emotions with a deft and tender touch, displaying a breathtaking way with melody. Warm, and infused with rising hope even at bleak times there are moments of pure joy. The album grows more addictive with each listen.
“If there is a theme to this album, it’s really about finding the strength of heart to get through ropey times in life. I feel like I was led into a forest and have only just re-emerged. I’ve got my sense of direction back and am just going to carry on down that track.”

With the release of Loveheart there is little doubt he is back on the right track and heading towards the bright lights once again.

Alive In Wild Paint (formerly known as Goodbye Tomorrow) is an indie rock band from Phoenix, Arizona, formed in 2003


Biography
Since Goodbyetomorrow's original formation in 2003, from which Josh Johnson is the only remaining member, the bands line-up has undergone much change.

They are currently touring the states with The Receiving End of Sirens, Emanuel, and Hopesfall and are planning on releasing their debut full-length album in January 2008.

On September 29, 2007, the group changed their name to Alive in Wild Paint, following the lineup changes.

Josh Johnson, former guitarist, left to join Hopesfall, as a bassist. He also is in C A L M.

Model Photographer

Es la banda "Undiscovered" del mes de Febrero de Filter-mag.com.


Indie / Rock / Pop

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
United States

WEB

MySpace

Componentes:

Alex Rose, Westin Glass, John Bagley.

Info en CDBaby.com:

Heartbreak and moodiness set to straightforward guitar, bass and drums. this indie rock band from Seattle is the pop-heavy side project of Minus the Bear's Alex Rose.

“Sans braces and a Led Zeppelin t-shirt, Model Photographer was much like my first date: young, talented, nervous, and about to steal my heart ... With melodies that promenade hand in hand with sultry vocals, each tune was sweet and sour with tales of almost love, likened to that of The Reindeer Section and Tahiti 80.”
- Versus Magazine

The story of Model Photographer begins with Alex Rose, a musician and recording engineer from Albuquerque, NM. His previous bands Mistletoe and Bum Out Patrol had shared the stage with the likes of The Breeders, The Shins, Pedro the Lion, Enon, The Decemberists, and Supedrag. Despite the local success, a growing desire to escape the home state led to relocating to Seattle in early 2004, where he began playing bass in a band that consisted solely of relocated New Mexicans. He also began testing the waters for his solo material by performing at open mic nights around town. Deciding to take the plunge, he booked his first solo acoustic show at the prestigious Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles on June 17, 2004 and received a mention in the LA Times. This was encouraging, and more solo shows were booked in Seattle and New Mexico.

Later that year, the solo sets began to evolve when fellow Mistletoe and Bum Out Patrol member Westin Glass relocated to Seattle and began to play drums at the shows. A short time later, the two found bassist John Bagley (formerly of Gracie Law) and the first Model Photographer show occurred on March 3, 2005. The band subsequently received generous airplay of a two-song demo on Seattle's KEXP and was featured on their "Music That Matters" Vol. 8 podcast which was made available nationwide on iTunes.

In 2006, with an album nearly complete, Model Photographer became a side project by default when Rose found himself busier than ever playing guitar with Heather Duby and playing keys with Minus the Bear (he had previously been their live sound engineer and helped record their 2005 release, Menos El Oso). During those tours, Glass found time to record an album as The Reformation, enlisting the help of Bagley on a few of the tracks and in the newly formed live band of the same name. Model Photographer’s self-titled LP is now available for the first time on compact disc.

Say Hi

In just about any other place or time in human history, a guy like Eric Elbogen never would have thought to pursue singing as a career, or even a hobby. He’s an inveterate mumbler with a shaky sense of pitch, and he looks pretty awkward onstage. But there’s something likable — sometimes lovable — about his indie-rock band, Say Hi. For the band’s new album, “The Wishes and the Glitch” (Euphobia), he ditched his old vampire fixation as well as the last three words in his band name (to Your Mom); the result is a warm, modest set of songs that hide their melancholy beneath sturdy tunes and lots of fuzz. Expect his cult to grow, but just a little.

NPR.org, December 4, 2007 - After releasing four albums about vampires, video games, spiders and robots, songwriter Eric Elbogen decided to get serious. The multi-instrumentalist moved from Brooklyn to Seattle and produced a lush new collection of introspective songs called The Wishes and the Glitch. He also shortened his long-held band name from "Say Hi to Your Mom" to just "Say Hi."

The Wishes and the Glitch still contains Elbogen's quirky sense of humor, but titles like "Shakes Her Shoulders", "Back Before We Were Brittle", and "Zero to Love" aim at more personal themes about complicated relationships. Vintage keyboards oscillate giving an added depth to catchy hooks and slightly gloomy lines. Nouela Johnston joins Elbogen for some smooth backing vocals on the first track "Northwestern Girls".

As with his earlier recordings, Elbogen recorded the album in his home and played most of the instruments, with guest vocals by The Long Winters' John Roderick and Pedro the Lion / Headphones' David Bazan. Elbogen released The Wishes and the Glitch on his own label, Euphobia Records.

In describing the music of Say Hi, Elbogen says "we're the mumbling in your head while you're crunching the numbers. We're the apparitions, ticks, gut wrenching, suspicion and glee, too. We're the reason you rolled a nineteen for charisma, the cat's meow, your least favorite aunt."

La canción de JUNO #2

Michael Cera and Ellen Page sing Anyone Else But You from the film JUNO.



Letra recogida en lyricsondemand.com:

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du dududu dududu du dududu
Du dududu dududu du dududu
I don't see what anypne can see, in anyone else
But you

Letra "Anyone else but you" (The Moldy Peaches)- recogida en stlyrics.com:

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu

Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart

You are always trying to keep it real
I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

Información recogida en PupiloRecords:

Apabullante y arrollador. Sin más paliativos, escuchen y critiquen lo que quieran pero ésta es la realidad: nunca un debut había generado tantas expectativas previas y nunca antes ésas expectativas se cumplieron tan por encima. “Upskirts”, el debut de The Blows viene a confirmar una escena rock, post punk y new wave en Vigo que recupera el espíritu de aquella otra movida paralela en los ochenta de esta ciudad portuaria, gris y post deprimida, caldo de cultivo idóneo para desgarrar con canciones la rabia, sueños y frustraciones de una generación veinteañera más allá de los tópicos.

“Upskirts” no es una carta de presentación, es un tartazo en la cara a todos aquellos que piensan que la escena musical independiente en España está mil pasos por detrás de la británica. Su rock vacilón y sexy, emparentado con el de Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Talking Heads o más recientemente Libertines o Strokes, con una inyección de vida nocturna y unos aderezos de baile, convierte a The Blows en uno de los pocos grupos capaces de exportar su sonido sin vergüenzas ni envidias, no en vano, el propio Alex Kapranos de Franz Ferdinand les dio el beneplácito a su primera maqueta o Babyshambles, con quienes compartieron cartel en el Festival Paredes de Coura 2007 (ojo!, contratados aún sin disco en el mercado) aplaudieron su actuación desde el escenario.

Más allá de las comparaciones, la personalidad de The Blows es tan apabullante, que incluso se enfrentaron y desecharon las mezclas propuestas por Cristian Vogel, el genio que se esconde detrás de algunas remezclas de Mäximo Park o Radiohead por ejemplo. Su concepto de cómo debían sonar estaba tan claro en sus cabezas que no dudaron en regrabar y remezclar, repasar y volver a grabar, agudizar y puntualizar ellos mismos algunas piezas. El resultado: rock en vena, tal y como demuestran en sus potentes directos.

“Sin City Lies” es toda una declaración de intenciones: […] Find me and satisfy me […] Actitud descarada para una banda que ha mamado del punk en vinilo y clubes y que lo transmiten tal y como lo han vivido. “Damn 80’s Hooker” ó como se ve la vida después enamorarse una noche salvaje. “We Want You” es sencillamente todo un hitazo. “Clint Eastwood” aporta una etiqueta a esto de los géneros: western rock o “Disco” la mutante versión rock de una tema destinado a la pista de baile con las aportaciones electrónicas de Vogel… Ingredientes más que suficientes para convertir a The Blows en la nueva esperanza del indie rock nacional.

The Republic Tigers-Buildings and Mountains LETRA

Lyrics for "Buildings and Mountains " -From Their MySpace

we've been waiting all our lives
for things we've always had
but have no eyes to see
somethin' new is going to happen
the most natural thing
but nothin' we'd expect

(chorus)
all these buildings and mountains
slowly they'll arise
before our eyes

how do cities understand
we drink our wine and wonder
why we're really here
what's the point of even asking
you take the good and bad
and make the best of it

(chorus)

have you watched the cities move
does nature fall before
this age of industry
for today i'll let it go
you've been good to me
have i been good to you

(chorus)

-----
With a sound that the band describe as "half organic and half synthetic, kind of like how all our lives are now,” Kansas City’s The Republic Tigers have created a pastoral, yet modern sound, which bubbles along with just the right amount of electronic sparkle on the acoustic guitars, creating intimate epics that demand a second listen.

“Buildings And Mountains” typifies these feelings, with its shuffling tempo and soothing vocals, it’s no surprise that the band would appeal to music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, responsible for the soundtracks to Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, The O.C. who signed the band to her record label. Mixing the right elements of The Shins and the Postal Service, “Buildings And Mountains” is sure to become a mix-tape favorite.-Filter-mag.com

Sinnamon: (10€)

Con una pregunta de fácil respuesta, "Do You Like Rock Music?" (Rough Trade/ Sinnamon Records, 07) titulan British Sea Power su tercer álbum y anticipan lo que vamos a encontrar cuando pongamos el disco en el reproductor. Guitarras afiladas y un sonido más contundente para una banda que se resiste a ceñirse a una etiqueta. BSP rocks!

Bristish Sea Power irrumpieron en la escena inglesa en el año 2000 parapetados tras sus ajados uniformes militares y camuflados tras el follaje con el que cubrían el escenario en sus conciertos. Su llamativa puesta en escena y unas canciones capaces de sumar el aura melodramática del glam-rock con el descaro y la inmediatez del punk-rock, pronto los convirtieron en una de las grandes atracciones del circuito de bandas inglés. Tras fichar por Rough Trade, en 2003 debutaban con "The Decline Of The British Sea Power" (título con el que dejaban claro que más que a ínfulas bélicas el nombre de su banda hace referencia a su amor por la historia) y el Sunday Times les proclamaba como 'The best band in Britain'.
A mediados de 2005 llegaba su segundo largo, "Open Season" un disco más accesible en el que las melodías eran las grandes protagonistas. De nuevo, críticas excelentes les consolidaban como una de las propuestas más sólidas y personales de Gran Bretaña. Mientras, Yan (voz, guitarra), Noble (guitarra), Hamilton (bajo, voz), Word (Batería) y Eamon (teclados) seguían su camino compartiendo escenario con la misma soltura con Faust, con The Copper Family (un clan de Sussex que lleva más de 200 años consagrado a la música folk) o con cualquiera de los grandes nombres del pop rock actual, de Jarvis Cocker a The Flaming Lips o Radiohead.
"Do You Like Rock Music?" es su tercer largo y el primero sin Eamon, consagrado definitivamente a su otro proyecto, Brakes. Reconvertidos en cuarteto, British Sea Power han entregado el que es, sí, su disco más rock. Aunque para ellos 'rock' es más una actitud que un sonido. Como explica Noble: "Pixies, Litte Richard y Public Enemy son rock. Está claro qué es rock y qué no lo es. Hay muchas bandas que hacen rock y no son en absoluto rock". La grabación del álbum fue, cuanto menos, agitada, con paradas en la República Checa, Canadá y un fuerte en Cornwall, e incidentes con helicópteros, jabalíes y tormentas de hielo de por medio. El resultado son doce cortes en los que caben odas a las bellezas eslavas y a los taxistas polacos, un emotivo recuento de una inundación en Canvey Islands, física cuántica en 'Atom' (tema que ya aparecía en su reciente epé, 'Krankenhaus?') o una reflexión sobre los mitos de la música popular en los seis minutos de 'Lights Out For Darker Skies'. Un disco plagado de canciones tan poderosas como 'Waving Flags', elegida como primer single del álbum y que ya ha sido proclamado por The Guardian como la canción de los festivales de 2008 gracias a su explosiva emotividad cercana a la de Arcade Fire (de hecho Howard Willerman, ex batería de Arcade Fire, colabora en alguno de los temas). A los controles, Graham Sutton (Jarvis Cocker, Bark Psychosis), Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) y Howard Bilerman (Hotel2Tango studio). Do you like rock music?

City and colour - Bring me your love ESCUCHA

Después de verlo mencionado en varios blogs, es escuchando su música cuando lo he descubierto realmente, prendada desde el principio de "Forgive me", que ha sonado al meterme en su página de MySpace, vamos a hablar de Dallas Green (voz de Alexisonfire).

You may know Dallas Green as the guitarist for post-hardcore heroes Alexisonfire, but with City And Colour, he writes tender acoustic pop songs that reach surprising emotional depths. Listen his latest album, Bring Me Your Love, before it hits stores 2/12, exclusively on MySpace.

Info recogida en Vagrant Records:

Solo projects are inherently a risk. Traditionally, few members of any prominent band have seen success in this sort of undertaking, and even fewer have enjoyed both critical and commercial success. Add to this the bizarre notion of creating stripped-down music that doesn’t even reference the original band’s genre, and you certainly have less examples of success to point to.

Until a couple of years ago, Dallas Green was better known as the dulcet voice of Alexisonfire. The band’s feverish live shows and rabid fanbase quickly earned them the distinction of being one of the most exciting and talked about bands in Canada.

During some time off between tours, Green assembled a collection of songs he had been writing over the years. He released a very limited pressing of the songs which he recorded using only acoustic guitar and his plaintive voice. Something in these tracks resonated with people in a completely unanticipated way. Not surprisingly, the songs found their way onto the Internet where fans started passing them around. With none of the obvious viral marketing that goes on now, there was a groundswell of interest in this unassuming collection of compositions. It was becoming clear that there was serious interest in what Dallas was creating. In 2005, Alexisonfire’s sophomore album went Platinum in Canada, the band won the Juno Award for New Group of the Year, and in his home country, Green quietly debuted his full-length album titled “Sometimes” under the solo moniker, City and Colour.

In a rare break between Alexisonfire outings that year, City and Colour undertook a cross-Canada tour, performing in intimate settings with only his guitar and a microphone. The same intimacy that Green offered in his songs was offered to fans across Canada, resulting in long line-ups for sold out shows. The fever soon spread across the Atlantic where City and Colour played a sold-out Barfly tour in the U.K. Exceeding everyone’s expectations, “Sometimes” achieved Platinum certification in 2006. Remaining sincere and affable, Green gave a heartfelt performance at the 2006 MuchMusic Video Awards, where City and Colour won the People’s Choice Favourite Canadian Artist award. In 2007, Green performed live on the JUNOS, (Canada’s Grammys), taking home the award for Alternative Album of The Year.

Released in March 2007, “City and Colour Live” brought fans front row and center to experience the memorable moments of his performances. The combo CD/DVD package featured 13 heart-wrenching live tracks including a unique performance on piano of Alexisonfire’s fan-favourite “Happiness by the Kilowatt”

“Bring Me Your Love” is City and Colour’s sophomore studio album and first available in the U.S (2/12/08, Vagrant). It evolves and adds layers to the sentiments in those vulnerable moments shared by Green on his original independent release. Co-produced by Dan Achen (Junkhouse) and recorded at Catherine North Studio in Hamilton, the first song “Forgive Me” opens with footsteps on a wood floor, the whirling of a nearby fan, and the rustling of Green picking up his acoustic guitar and sitting on a leather chair to perform on the former altar of this church-turned-studio. Every instrument used in the recording is “pre-loved”, vintage gear complementing the warmth and honesty of Green’s compositions – an intentional approach to capture the essence and intimacy of how records used to sound. Instruments and vocals were carefully recorded live off the floor, giving the songs depth and intimacy, and eschewing the cut-and-paste approach that is so common in today’s recordings. The album feels like a throwback to the days when an album’s thrills and beauty were found not just in exceptional songs and musicianship, but also in its blemishes and simplicity.

“Bring Me Your Love” delivers Green’s signature delicate vocals accompanying another set of candid musings, which continue to articulate his engaging perspective on love and life. It rings with frames of beautiful melody surrounding meaty indie, folk-rock landscapes. Gordon Downie (The Tragically Hip) adds his distinctive vocals to “Sleeping Sickness” and appearances by friends and label mates Dan Romano and Spencer Burton (Attack in Black) are a reminder that these are an entirely new collection of songs, written during a very prolific year. Green continues to demonstrate his talents as a musician, singer and songwriter moving comfortably and seamlessly between City and Colour and his role anchoring a successful post-hardcore band. The dozen tracks on “Bring Me Your Love” are a beautiful insight into the quieter side of an undeniable talent.

Grand Ole Party is a trio from San Diego, CA consisting of singer-drummer Kristin Gundred, guitarist John Paul Labno, and bassist Michael Krechnyak. They play catchy, funky rocknroll and kill at shows.

They are a stiff drink in a dimly lit bar. A gospel choir of chaingang workers. A love-child of the generation that grew up with punk and Dre.

They've been together just over a year and have played with bands like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, CSS, The Elected, Nada Surf, Living Legends, Quasi, and The Album Leaf. GOP is currently recording their first album with Blake Sennett of Rilo Kiley.
Humanimals is their debut.

Editor's review
The titular notion of "making some quiet" smartly captures this Swedish indie pop act, who rock out thoroughly, but in a genteel and frosty way. They'd blame that on winter darkness, we'd call it good taste. Regardless, few '80s revival-type acts are making the resuscitation so worthwhile.

Biography

Living in the northern hemisphere near the polar circle puts you in a unique mental state. Amidst the sunny disposition of Labrador Records and the gloom of Swedish death metal, Sweden's The Bell, finds a cozy corner nested in the looming shadows of abnormally long winter nights by transcending Manchester England circa 1983 with the post-punk revival of today.

Finding themselves in perpetual cold and darkness, facing months of never ending winter nights force The Bell members, Nicklas Nilsson (instruments), Mathias Stromberg (Vocalist) and Jan Petterson (instruments) to spend a good portion of their lives between four walls. Making the most of this interlude in hibernation, they wrote and recorded 35 songs in less than a year, with ­­­­­13 landing on their full-length release, Make Some Quiet. Reveling in the effects of listening to music with wide perspectives on melodies and harmonies, the songwriting process develops naturally for the Swedish coterie. Lyricist and vocalist, Stromberg adds, "The lyrics that I write are very much adapted to the music and has been a result of single feelings and thoughts rather than worked-through poetry. Our common way to work is by starting with this song should be about X and called X and then work within that idea."

The Bell awaken memories from the early days of alternative pop, while ending up smack in the middle of now to take us both forward and back in time. A trio with a great love for drum machine induced guitar melodies and classic pop tunes, they manage to balance that fine line bet­ ween modern pop and its musical roots. Immediately after hearing The Bell, Badman Recording Co (My Morning Jacket, Mark Kozelek, Sigur Ros) CEO, Dylan Magierek, felt compelled to sign them. He says of his first Scandinavian signing, "Every so often a band comes around that brings you back to the time when music truly acted as a soundtrack to your life. Just like the effect bands Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure and the Chameleons had on you a few decades back. The Bell brings us back to that feeling of the good early alternative days of our lives."

With an affinity for the ironic while admitting that band names are a strange thing, Stromberg confesses, "At one point, I really thought the idea of 'concrete marketing' was a good thing, and that we should call ourselves Three Men With Serious Doubts and Questionable Integrity… The Bell sounds better, no?"

Employing an instrumental swap meet of sorts, sharing vocals and instruments allows the group to possess their music entirely. Nilsson says, "We never think much about who is going to play what, we are too busy making songs. If one of us grabs a guitar, he doesn't come up with an idea, chords or melody in isolation from the others, it remains a collective effort. It's really more like three brains working through one body."

From start to end, Make Some Quiet belongs to the band: music, production, cover art, videos and official internet representations. A band with an obvious penchant for the particular, The Bell prepares for Make Some Quiet to debut in the US on February 12, 2008, and we'll bet you a bottle of Absolut their songs will be stuck in your head after just one listen.

Grand Archives

Two years ago, Mat Brooke left Band Of Horses to focus on Grand Archives, a dreamy indie rock band that will surely please fans of his former outfit. To get a taste of the band's forthcoming debut, download the track "Torn Blue Foam Couch," for free, exclusively on MySpace.

Info en SubPop:

Seattle, WA is famous for many things. Sunlight is not one of them. Yet illumination and warmth suffuse the self-titled debut from Emerald City quintet Grand Archives. Dark times do not necessarily call for dark music. And, while singer/guitarist Mat Brooke’s previous ensembles – Band of Horses, Carissa’s Wierd – often shied away from light, he has changed direction with this band. To be clear, The Grand Archives is not escapist bullshit. But like the timeless classics of the Mamas & the Papas or the Turtles, it responds to the turbulent times of its genesis with hope, high spirits, and a sense of camaraderie. Brooke started Grand Archives with a trio of friends in September, 2006. Drummer Curtis Hall (the Jeunes), bassist Jeff Montano (the New Mexicans), and guitarist/keyboard player Ron Lewis (Ghost Stories) shared his desire to make great pop, rather than curse the darkness; guitarist Thomas Wright signed on soon after. At their first show, Grand Archives were bottom band on a mid-week bill. They played five songs. Next time they performed, it was supporting Modest Mouse at Seattle’s historic Paramount Theater. So much for baby steps. “We definitely dove in the deep end,” concedes Brooke. But their expectations are modest. Grand Archives want little more than to tour the world, occasionally crash in a motel with soft towels, and, most importantly, find receptive listeners for their music. A reasonable goal. And it will be met. Vitamin D supplements, tanning beds, and Caribbean vacations only provide temporary solutions; the radiance of The Grand Archives glows brightly year-round.

Editor's review
Not since Peaches has a saucy songstress taken sass this far. Over singsongy antipop ballads, Perry skewers all that the scene--and plain good taste--holds sacred. Sample lyric: "You're so indie-rock it's almost an art/ You need SPF 45/ Just to stay alive."

Biography

Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Katy Perry has been wowing fans and critics alike with her big voice, sassy attitude, and feisty, confessional songs like ?Ur So Gay,? the title track of her new EP, which will be released by Capitol Records on November 20th. Though just 23, the Los-Angeles based pop-rock dynamo has been writing songs, playing guitar for several years, and possesses the flair and confidence of a veteran storyteller. Though ?Ur So Gay? showcases her irrepressible sense of humor, other songs, like the thoughtful ballad ?Lost?
show a more vulnerable side of this talented, multi-dimensional artist.

?I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides,? Perry says. ?The whole angst thing is cool, but if that?s all you?ve got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it?s happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it.Someone told me the other day that I?m a bit like Lucille Ball. They said, ?You look pretty put together on the outside, but inside there?s just something a bit wrong.??


The Santa Barbara, CA-born Perry is currently wrapping up work on her debut full-length album, which she recorded with an array of noted producers and collaborators, including Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette), Dr. Luke (Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne), Butch Walker (Pink, The Donnas), and Greg Wells
(Natasha Bedingfield, Rufus Wainwright). The full length album is due from Capitol Records in spring 2008.

Lyrics for "Ur So Gay NEW w HORNS N SHIT"
(V1)
I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While jacking off listening to Mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemmingway
You don’t eat meat
And drive electrical cars
You’re so indie rock it’s almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive

(CHORUS)
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like boys
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like…

(V2)
You’re so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You’re so skinny maybe you should super size the deal
Secretly you’re so amused
That nobody understands you
I’m so mean cause I cannot get your outta your head
I’m so angry cause you rather MYSPACE instead
I can’t believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup

(CHORUS)
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like boys
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like…

(BRIDGE)
You walk around like you’re oh so debonair
You pull em down and there’s really nothing there
I wish you would just be real with me

(CHORUS)
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like boys
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
Oh no no no no no no no
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like boys
Ur so gay and you don’t even like boys

Salamanca En el punto de mira (Vantage Point)

Me he ido enterando poco a poco. No sé quién tendrá el privilegio de ir a la premier. Pero sí, resulta que será aquííí en Salamanca,el 13 de Febrero en el teatro Liceo!!! Y ya no es ir a comprobar si a Eduardo Noriega le quiere la cámara, es que también está Matthew Fox. Y vendrán con Forest Whitaker y el director Pete Travis. Ya si llega a venir la Weaver y el Hurt, es la .....! Con lo pequeña que es la Plaza del Liceo, no vamos a ver nada de nada, porque fijo eso se llena, y a donde más llegaremos es o a la Plaza Mayor o las calles de alrededor, vamos que no veremos nada, quién fuera la farmacéutica o las del Body Shop :)
Pero lo que más me intriga es..¿cuándo rodaron esto? O quizá sólo rodaron el escenario, y luego todo el corta-pega y magia del cine.

Trailer de una de las grandes películas se de suspense y acción que se estrenará en febrero en España y que trata del atentado contra el presidente de Estados Unidos en Salamanca (aunque este rodado en México)-PabloValenciaAimar
Ya me parecía a mi, que no habernos enterado de este rodaje aquí,jeje. Que mal me sienta el rollo de inventarse los escenarios, pero bueno, la pela es la pela, y el cine es pura ficción.

Pongo el trailer en versión original, porque mola escuchar de repente Salamanca, y porque me desubica el doblaje, con la voz del actor de doblaje que pone también la voz a Jack Bauer, y si Jack Bauer no sale, pues no me mola esa voz de agente para esta película.

"Into These Oceans" mp3
When I was tiny I would make believe at night that I was in a ship,
that all around me danger lurked but I was safe and dry.
Now that I am big I wish I had myself a ship
'cos Jesus Christ I'm feeling tiny deep inside.

Give me your hand. I'll give you my hand. We can set sail.
Give me your love. I'll give you my love. We can set sail.

When I was an angel I would hang out with the other angels
bathing in the waters of a sea of self belief.
Now that I am human I can feel my limitations
and I realise I'll never get that clean.

Give me your hand. I'll give you my hand. We can set sail.
Give me your love. I'll give you my love. We can set sail.

Come away with me now. Sail with me now.
Away with me now. Into the danger.
Sail with me now.
Into these oceans.

When I was younger I would laugh so loud. Yeah I would laugh so loud
without a care or anything less.
Now that I am focused I complain about the only people
left prepared to save me from this mess.

Give me your hand. I'll give you my hand. We can set sail.
Give me your love. I'll give you my love. We can set sail.

Come away with me now. Sail with me now.
Away with me now. Into the danger.
Sail with me now.
Into these oceans.

Into these oceans. Into these oceans. Into these oceans.
(You make everything okay).

When you were tiny did you make believe at night that you were in a ship,
that all around you danger lurked but you were safe and dry.
Maybe if you'd had yourself a ship it would have saved you
from the dangers you found lurking deep inside.

Give me your hand. I'll give you my hand. It's never too late.

Eugene Francis Jnr

Litomusic-blog:

Eugene Francis Jnr es un artista británico cuya música es sin duda una de las más interesantes propuestas de los últimos tiempos. Tiene una gran variedad de influencias que van desde el Country al Blues, pasando por el Folk, si a esto le añadimos un toque electrónico y un gusto exquisito para componer el resultado es de lo más sugestivo, para que os hagáis una idea, algo así como una mezcla entre Beck y The Postal Service.

El pasado año publicó su primer single, compuesto por las canciones Poor Me y Kites, el cual se puede adquirir en formato vinilo de 7” en edición limitada, desde la tienda del sello discográfico a un precio muy razonable. Asimismo, se puede conseguir digitalmente a través de itunes. Pero esto no es más que el anticipo del que va a ser su primer álbum, “The Golden Beatle”, el cual será publicado por el sello Legion y verá la luz el próximo mes de abril. De este disco podéis escuchar algunos temas en su myspace.

This also ended up being the final recording.
