Kill your idols…. today: music by the services with tristan bechet
no wave music documentary
the documentary was not as amazing as the one we had posted “punk attitude”, but still worth a watch if you are a fan of the genre. by dd
punk attitude: must see film
find out why i always hated nirvana, why new york gets all the credit, and why music today is more like processed cheese than audible food. a must see film for any music lover. super cool, double freak ass bad. see all ten parts or better yet, rent the dvd. everyone from MC5, suicide, ny dolls, clash, television, patti smith, ramones, iggy, black flag, pistols, joy division, sonic youth, and so so on. not to be missed is henry rollins, he is hilarious in part nine or ten where he talks about the beastie boys and the rest. by dd
SUICIDE: better late than never
i’ve been listening to nothing but ‘alan vega’ and ‘suicide’ for the past few days (with gratitude to hd) and i can’t help but be so so impressed by their work, 30+ years later. i hear so many future bands in their body of work, it’s quite amazing how influential they were. searching, i found this clip, certainly worth sharing. i think maybe great music can only exist when you have no audience in mind… and even then it can still fail. i suppose that goes for everything that ends up being truly special. by dd
summer wine: NANCY SINATRA -LEE HAZLEWOOD
for what they are singing about they are standing awfully far apart, no? i am posting this song because i cant find a decent version of the 1996 country classic ‘strawberry wine’ by deana carter which brought back memories of a past life this eve. by kl
En hand i himlen : Jonathan Johansson
great track by swede-pop artist jonathan johansson. directed by simeon frohm, and shot on location in stockholm, lisbon, paris, barcelona, rome and pamplona. roughly translates into “one hand in heaven/the sky”. now it would have been cool if they played this last night when we were intoxicated off our feet. by dd
late night listening
don’t save us from the flames: by M83 from the album BEFORE the dawn heals us. by kl
the virgins: rich girls
mr. donald cumming. i’ve been listening to your shit and never realized it was you. model tracks generally suck, but you made it baby. still love your face, and scoring behati in your vid never hurts either. see you in munster germany. by dd
Where I Lead Me, i will follow
and why not… mr. finn andrews. by dd
Fever Ray
i went to the fever ray concert at webster hall last night, and it was absolutely amazing. the stage, the costumes, the lasers (i know, lasers!) and the music…it all turned webster hall into a bit of a haunted house. swedish fever ray is the singer in the knife, and her nordic voice is so soulful and raw i can’t help but think of a medieval witch, in a good way! if fever ray is coming to a stage near you, go! by kv
Advice For Young Mothers To Be
