Another big week for music. Arcade Fire apparently ‘took indie to the next level’ or some shit – ‘changed the paradox’, showed indie kids around the world that they aren’t losers and confused the remaining 98% of the world. After all, you know how much indie kids like it when EVERYONE suddenly discovers ‘their’...

“This summer we’re going to play some festivals, including Field Day in London, and a few gigs. We’re still confirming everything, so will be announcing dates soon. It’s very exciting for us to be playing together again after more than three years, and we’re just sorry that we won’t be able to make it...

This was the week of the Strokes and of the Gaga. Impressed by the former, slightly less so by the latter, it’s also been a great week for live music here in Barcelona. Japanther on Thursday night, Me and the Bees exactly one week later, and Aias on Saturday! (see videos from ALL gigs on my...

Approximately 1,200,540 bloggers (and possibly a few regular music fans too) just spent the past 30 min desperately trying to get their hands on this song. There’s been so much demand, the band’s website actually crashed (and now seems to be back up). Yes, there seems to be quite some excitement about this… Enjoy!...

Apparently rock is dead. Buried. Waiting for someone to stand up and, um, resurrect it. So, while we’re waiting, what better time to dive into the murky depths of chart music! The last time I did it, I said some positive things about Pink, and I stand by them. I also said something about...

Presumably, one starts a blog because they have something to say about the music they are listening to. Presumably, a “music blogger” creates a space where he/she can share thoughts, impressions, arguments against the bands they dislike, and justifications for the bands they champion. However, there are these “music blogs” popping up everywhere that...

Cloud Nothings – Should Have (taken from Cloud Nothings, out now) When we interviewed Cloud Nothings frontman Dylan Baldi last year he said the following when we asked him about the evolution of his sound: There are a lot of more complex ideas and arrangements I want my music to have, and fuzzy lo-fi recording...

Normally I would write a little something per song. Maybe something about the band, maybe an attempt at humour or, failing that, perhaps a song lyric. Unfortunately I’m somewhat under the weather at the moment and the muse isn’t really calling, so instead I’ll just leave you with some stuff we’ve been listening to...

Smith Westerns – Weekend Last we heard of these boys they wanted you to be my girl. Well, not MY girl of course. They don’t even know me (nor do I know the girl), so why would they/I even want that!? It just doesn’t make any sense. At least TRY and pay attention, ok?...

2010 was quite a year. It saw graduations, festivals, a move from Athens to Barcelona, the discovery of a new city, a slight, um, slowing down of our blog activity, a World Cup, many flights (17 for me), three festivals and a lot of great music. So, without further ado, we present to you: So,...
50. The Dutchess and the Duke – Hands 49. Camera Obscura – French Navy Best song on the new album? But of course. 48. Ramona Falls – I Say Fever That video. Those drunken piano notes. That Poeesque sense of atmosphere. Jesus. 47. Cymbals Eat Guitars – Wind Phoenix Electric guitars are...
100. The Silent Years – Forest Fire “I’m just trying to act my age Find some new ways to pretend I’m not everybody’s loser friend“ 99. Octoberman – Thirty Reasons A sweet come-back-to-me love song to wipe that cynicism off your face. 98. Shelley Short – Time Machine/Submarine 97. Lily Allen – Not Fair...
1. “I Know This Much Is True” by Wally Lamb Recommended for: people who like depressing books, people with an interest in mental illnesses or twins, people who like complex, daring, good books in general I don’t know what I can say about this book that will make you go and read it NOW....
Sorry, you missed the mp3s (you got here either after the web sheriff passed by, or after the blogger people fucked up. In any case, AFTER.) Do check our top 30 songs of the year though. The web sheriff still hasn’t visited that one. However, you can find a zipped file of all the...
Zip file of all the songs! 1. Hannah & Sam – Who’s Bitten You or Trouble on an Iceberg Last year we didn’t have a blog, but I made a Best Songs of 2007 list anyway, that I shared with a couple of friends on my then still existent MySpace page. The list,...
A seemingly endless amount of remixes While they used to just be an interesting bonus on a purchased CD single, now they fill, cram and clog the internet (have you seen the Hype Machine lately?). It seems no self-respecting single gets released these days without having a Soulwax, Mstrkrft, Tom Campesinos!, Rihanna’s Gardener, the...
