And these songs that I sing,
Do they mean anything to the people I'm singing them to
People like you

hummmmm

And these songs that we sing,
Do they mean anything to the people we're singing them to
Tonight they do

The Mary Onettes

Es increible como suenan a The Sound y Modern English en clave poppie. Como si en calendario marcara 1982 en vez del 2006. Por cierto hoy en The Guardian reportaje sobre ¡el retorno de los góticos! ("BACK IN BLACK" - http://arts.guardian.co.uk/filmandmusic/story/0,,1882764,00.html ) y se acaba de editar The Gothic Box 3CD/DVD set of early goth is out now on Rhino...

2006-09-12
Labrador are proud to announce that we have signed The Mary Onettes. And you, our dear Labrador friend, gets to hear this brilliant band first. Download "Lost" from their upcoming EP with the same name here/

The Mary Onettes are as close to arenarock as you'll ever get on Labrador. Inspired by guitar pop from the 80's, indie bands from the 90's and the talent to make the best songs you'll ever hear in they 00's they sound like a Swedish relative to Echo & The Bunnymen, The Smiths och The Jesus and Mary Chain from the future.

We're convinced you want to hear more from The Mary Onettes after you've downloaded "Lost", so why not check out them at Myspace - http://www.myspace.com/themaryonettes

 ROBYN HITCHCOCK and the Venus 3 (Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Bill Rieflin) to Release New CD "OLÉ! TARANTULA" on Yep Roc October 3

 

LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 26, 2006 -- Idiosyncratic singer/songwriter ROBYN HITCHCOCK returns October 3 with "OLÉ! TARANTULA" (Yep Roc), aided this time around by the Venus 3 -- Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, and Bill Rieflin (aka "3/4 of the Minus 5, and half of REM," notes HITCHCOCK). Filled with oblique sketches of life and death, love and despair, HITCHCOCK describes "OLÉ! TARANTULA" as "sadness cloaked in fun. But under that sadness, more fun." Equally layered -- and every bit as dichotomous -- are the melodies, harmonies, and music created by HITCHCOCK, the Venus 3, and a handful of other visitors to the studio in Seattle where the album was recorded in September 2005 and March 2006. Guests range from former bandmates Morris Windsor (Soft Boys; the Egyptians) and Kimberley Rew (Soft Boys), to forerunners (Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan), to a pair of Seattle locals (Sean Nelson of Harvey Danger and Chris Ballew of Presidents of the United States of America) variously influenced by HITCHCOCK's keen ear for melody and his keen eye for absurdity. Dubbed the "British bard of birth, death, and all the messy, freaky stuff in between" by the Washington Post in a 2005 live review, HITCHCOCK finds himself in the same contemplative state of mind that drove his critically acclaimed 2004 album "Spooked." Hailing the "inimitable combination of sandpaper and brass" in HITCHCOCK's vocal delivery, a review of "Spooked" in the November 2004 issue of Blender concluded, "Picking up a guitar was once his life's answer; now it's an excuse to ask big questions." While that album laid bare his whimsical lyrics and wistful melodies over a stark musical backdrop courtesy of acoustic wunderkinds Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, "OLÉ! TARANTULA" paints in broad musical strokes from HITCHCOCK's deftly surrealist brush. "We sound like a smart garage band, to my ears, when we play live," says HITCHCOCK of his teaming with the Venus 3. "The record is a little more tidy, but they still rock, and rock me along with them. This is the rockingest record I've made in years."

The Pippetes, The Guardian y Sounds That Swing

Their name sounds like a 60s girl group, but the Pipettes are just as happy listening to Slipknot

La entrevista se realizó en la retro tienda de discos Sounds that Swing en pleno Camden (46 Inverness Street,  NW1 7HB) (Sounds That Swing specialise in an extensive selection of music from the 50's and 60's.

Pues sí, muy grande Bid y un acierto de Siesta haber traído a Scarlett's Well de gira por España. Luego, de vuelta, nos los encontramos en el metro. Venían en el mismo vagón cargando con los instrumentos, les dejamos camino de Vallecas. Y yo me pregunto ¿es que no tiene Siesta para pagarles una furgonetilla o un par de taxis? ¡Coño, que es Bid!

Indienella: Spanish pop

habituales de Juan de Pablos. Aquí te puedes bajar su hit maquetero: http://www.vivaelpop.com/07mp3/07.html

texto extraido de http://www.myspace.com/indienella 

Indienella (a pun on the name of a very cheesy "romantic" male/female duo from the 80s from Argentina I believe) is a pop duo from Northern Spain (Sofia is from León and Luis is from Gijón, but soon not even geography will keep them apart), who started writing and recording songs a few months ago, intent on creating fun, catchy, meaningful bubblegum lo-fi pop. You tell us if we are on the right track... Here you have three songs we wrote out of the four we recorded at our friend Jorge´s studio, Circo Perrotti, in Gijón (Spain) last April -- an all-analog recording with all-vintage equipment; the fourth song we recorded is "Secretos de belleza", a cover of amazing Spanish new-wave/punk pop band Alaska y los Pegamoides, included in their only album, "Grandes éxitos" (Hispavox 1982 I think). Myspace prevents us from posting other people´s songs, but those interested in listening to it please try www.vivaelpop.com, it should be available there shortly. Soon we´ll add here a new super catchy, super lo-fi 4-track recording!!! And yes, we are interested in doing 45´s!!! We also want to start playing live, but first we need to find a drummer and a bass player... P.S. WE NOW HAVE INDIENELLA T-SHIRTS!!! If you go to our "Pics" section you´ll see how cool they are and how nice they fit! 100% cotton Fruit of the Loom T-shirts available in four different sizes: child 5-6, 7-8, 9-11, and 12-13; color options: pink logo on blue, black, yellow, and green t-shirt; red logo on blue and green t-shirt; green logo on yellow t-shirt. All shirts are 10 euro postpaid in Spain/ 12 euro postpaid Europe/$18 postpaid USA/14 euro postpaid rest of the world. Yes, we silkscreened them ourselves! P.S. 2: JUAN DE PABLOS IS PLAYING INDIENELLA!!! If you don´t already do so check out his nightly "Flor de Pasión" show on Radio 3 (R.N.E.), also available online!

Es bonito. Lento, melancólico y lleno de medios tiempos. Antidepressant, se llama.

 

Recorded by Lloyd Cole, 2004-2006, New England*
Mixed by Mick Glossop, Magazine Studio, London.
Mastered by Bunt Stafford Clark, Sanctuary Townhouse, London.
Executive Producion by Chris Hughes.
There is no difference between the European and US version of Travelling Light except spelling (one less letter 'L' in US)There are no 'singles' as such. I belive that Sanctuary are 'servicing' radio with a digital single which may or may not be Travelling Light c/w NYC Sunshine. Other territories seem to be choosing their own, which I quite like. Woman in a Bar was just playlisted in heavy rotation on Belgium's Radio 1!!I will be updating the website proper with lyrics and artwork as soon as I get home next week - and the mySpace page will soon have tunes to listen to

 

 

Nuevo single de Camera Obscura

"Let's get out of this country" es el tema que da título al tercer álbum, y también es la canción principal de este single. Como el resto del álbum, fue grabada en Suecia bajo la producción de Jari Haapalainen (productor de gemas como THE CONCRETES o Ed Harcourt). Acompañan a esta canción en el CD-single dos temas nuevos: "Lemon juice and paper cuts", medio tiempo evocador guiado por el piano y el órgano, y "Return to send her", con una guitarra de tono country que da el contrapunto perfecto a la melodía de voz de Tracyanne.

En el single de vinilo hay una tercera canción más, "Modern Girl"

Flor de Pasión, mi salvación musical de este verano

Flor de Pasión, mi salvación musical de este verano

Pues si, me he aficionado al De Pablos, porque descubrí por casualidad que en agosto repetían Flor de Pasión a las 17 horas en lugar del Ordovás que estaba de vacaciones (por cierto, Ipop a la calle por baja audiencia)
Es inaguantable cuando pincha oldies de los 50, pero está muy bien el resto de lo que pone.
El problema es que desde Septiembre solo de oye otra vez de madrugada pero bueno, lo seguiré a través de http://flordepasion.radiotres.org/
