A Not So Soggy Saturday @ Ithaca Pool
Sick of prematurely melting like a Drumstick in the heat? Solution = head to a poolside, musical inner city oasis for the last instalment of Soggy Saturdays (previously Soggy Sundays).
They're hoping for a little more sun and a little less rain this weekend, so they've coined it ‘Not So Soggy Saturday' this time round.
Four Tet, There is Love in You
Kieran Hebden has had a good time of it just lately. The guitarist turned much-feted producer and DJ has continued along the rosy path of critical adoration, and he's done so by consistently straying from his comfort zone. Along the way, he has shed the long-standing ‘folktronica' tag that dogged his early Four Tet and effectively reinvented himself.
Gil Scott-Heron, 'I'm New Here'
Thirteen years is a long time to go without releasing an album. Thirteen years ago I had just discovered the joy of self-love. I had just stopped being afraid of the dark. I had just learned how to take those massive bong hits like Ghostface Killah. Back then, flute solos were a serious and beautiful component of a song.
Wing, 'Beat It'
Who the Wing!? Wing does covers of big time stars. Wing has a very unique voice. Wing says she is small potato but Wing has many fans worldwide. Wing has been on South Park, Wing likes to rap too. Wing sings all the songs you know and love - like you've never heard them before.
Her latest release Beat It features a few Michael Jackson covers and oddly enough some Elton John, Celine Dion, and Bette Midler (yep, you guessed it - ‘Wind Beneath My Wings') for good measure and to top it all off the killer closing track, ‘Brahm's Lullaby'.
RCRD LBL
RCRD LBL makes me wish I hadn't once been fired for streaming audio from MySpace all day. Man, that could have been a sweet gig, but you know, Icarus and all that. Now if you didn't get that then you should probably read more, or maybe get a little more into music and RCRD LBL is a great place to start.
Holding Patterns
Earlier this decade Art Of Fighting frontman, Ollie Browne's, modus operandi began to emerge: a milky yawn of a vocal; wide, sparse brushes of instrumentation and a generous amount of haunting reverb. With AOF now on hiatus, Parallel Lions is Browne's new vehicle.
On first listening to Holding Patterns, comparisons are warranted - those three emblematic features remain the framework.
Disco Rough #1: ZickZack Records
My best friend just made this zine so I guess it isn't my place to tell you that it's a fascinating, insightful and ridiculously amazing read. BUT - I think it's OK if I tell you what it's about and then you can make up your own mind.
Disco Rough is a collection of interviews with some guys that were in a bunch of seminal German new wave bands in the early eighties.
