Empire State Human (UK - there seems to be two bands/persons using this name?) has done a remix of Gallalalaalalalng MP3 from http://www.empirestatehuman.co.uk/

Sorry? Couldn't resist - http://www.dragnetrecords.com/history.html Plenty of free MP3s as well. Haven't listened yet, but they sure read a good band (hopefully it's the same band)

related, took this one down in Kent a couple of years ago. Who would call their son Porn (I reckon it is a real name, and I just guess it's a man's name. Bringing a new meaning to "I can't find Porn on the internet"). Maybe the parents pre-empted the Beckhams? Naming their son after what the...

A good vinyl pressing played on my half-decent deck sounds better than CD in my ears. We are talking normal "What Hifi" type of kit - not "Audiophile". One of those heavyweight hi-fi magazines recently did some testing - vinyl versus SACD and DVD-audio (the new "super CD" formats). Vinyl still...

recently: "Time (The Revelator)": Gillian Welch. an amazing track, it's absolutely timeless, beautifully sung/played and with darkish lyrics. before: Vini Reilly, Townes Van Zandt, some Joy Division and probably more ...

so what about this piece of art found on her website (attached hopefully, if not it can be found on her webpages http://www.miauk.com/). I guess in my twisted mind I see it as some sort of "celebration of Sep 11"; not good whatever your religous or political views are.

she's got the boingboing "seal of approval" now as well: oh dear. http://www.boingboing.net/2005/03/12/mia_for_intergalacti.html I've read all this stuff now and listened to some MP3s. For me it just sound pretty OKish - nothing more, nothing less, but nothing to get excited about? I mean they...

Yeah - agree on the DJs. But that's not why I went (with the possible exception of having a look at Annie). The "rawk" was great: Satyricon (how their heads still stick to their bodies is a mystery - we are not talking headbanging, but head-unscrewing here), WE and Turbonegro (the stupidiest...

A massive thread related to this from kottke a couple of years ago http://www.kottke.org/03/09/bilingual-conversations

The Top 10 UK albums this week has Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, U2, Killers, Athlete and Keane in the list. I know we all disagree on the abilities of these bands (and some of them have more guitars than others) but the list almost exactly a year ago contained Katie Melua, Norah...

a few things: a) when the story broke there was nothing as far as i I recall on what Ken actually said on the front page of the ES. You had to look for the transcript on page three or four. Many will just read the headline (in "war type")+main piece and leave it at that. As I was reading...

here's how it could work - grime-artist release or sell out (or close to it) the run of 500 or 1000 12"s. - the track is made available on grimetunes.co.uk (example name) for purchase. £1, $2 per track - the artist is free to release more 12"s or even CDs as (s)he wants, the online "label" is...

Ehh - K, that's why I used "clever" (surrounded by Scandinavian-style doublequotes).

So the fact that FF is/try to be "clever" means that their music cannot be judged as pop music? Compare Rachel Stevens last single with almost any FF tune. Where FF bounce, Rachel limp. I like FF as pop, not as "post post-punk" or art. I had exactly the same problem with The Bravery when I first...

> for dads who buy 3 records a year. the 40-50 year segment is the age bracket spending the most on music - even more than teenagers (for the first time in history). I hate the whole lot of these new touchie-feelie-guitar bands (from Codplay to Slow Patrol), I guess it's the same lot who...

from the register http://www.theregister.com/2005/02/17/dj_record_mp3_fine/ A "well known" Italian DJ has been ordered to cough up Europe's biggest fine ever for music downloading after being found in possession of and using thousands of illegally copied music files. The DJ must pay a record...

eff "eclectic". I hate that word. Everyone likes everything, even Parkinson is supposed to have an "eclectic" music taste. Bless Nick Cave for using "idiosyncratic" on the late, great John Peel. talking of: why not just get his Fabric Live CD? (and take out the Kop stuff).

Not bad and good luck. From a user (and 100% web design amateur) view you should increase that font size for the blog (it's quite tiny compared to the rest of the content, match it with the rest of site.

Haven't read "MP" yet, but it sounds like "more of the same". "High Rise" is the last Ballard I read and I found it a bit unsatisfactory and predictable (again would make a great film), just as I did "Cocaine Nights" (I just found it so weird that Charles does not help his jailed brother...

that's a quality photo blog. thanks.
