Este weblog es una joya (http://turquoisedays.blogspot.com/). Ya hablé de él en el post de The Monochrome Set y ahora te puedes bajar dos mp3s gratis de Belle & Sebastian:
As part of the promotional blitz for the new Belle And Sebastian album and single the band appeared on the BBC Radio One in Scotland show this week and performed two acoustic songs. A version of "Sukie In The Graveyard" from the new album and the previous Byrdsy "Mr. Richard". Enjoy!
Carlos -todavía convaleciente pero felizmente recuperado- informa que en la web de Labrador te puedes bajar una canción -la cara A del single- del nuevo fichaje del sello sueco, una banda llamada Irene.
"Baby I love you. Baby I love your way. Du-du-du-du-du-du-du. Baby I want you. Baby I want you to stay. A-ha…”
Irene write songs that sounds almost like clichés of pop songs. Songs about love and heartache, girl group-style rythm section, handclap, Beach Boys, soul, brass and songs that are evergreens from day one. The best new band of 2006 is already here!
Irene grew into a full scale band quite spontaneously in 2005. The members are all friends from the local pub in Göteborg, Sweden. Some songs that Tobias Isaksson (aka Bobby) had written just couldn’t wait to be performed live. The dudes that did the first show had so much fun that they wanted to stick around. By the autumn of 2005 Irene was an octet with semi-permanent members. Shortly after that the record label Labrador signed the band.
Irene likes to record as much as possible live, in one take, up to six people letting it out in one room. Only the final touch (vocals, trumpets and handclaps etc) is added afterwards. The result is a vivid sound marked by the 60’s, Motown soul, girl-groups, American west coast- and contemporary pop. The members of Irene are beach-crooners, punks and next-door nice-guys. All in one.
El sello indie Tragadiscos prepara su segunda referencia. Un nuevo single de vinilo compartido por The Acid House Kings en el que versionean a Loveninjas y a su vez éstos hacen lo mismo con AHK. En al otra cara Sambassadeur versionean a The Bats ("Claudine") y Math and Physics Club aportan un tema inédito.
Entre los archivos de la indie pop list me he encontrado esta lista de perfect pop songs. La realiza Testcard, nick de un ilustre fanzinero/enterado que atiende al nombre de Keith D´Arcy, una gran autoridad en el tema indiepop y referencia de muchos que lo consideran la encarnación del buen gusto:

the first 4 classic talking heads studio albums, are re-released as double discs featuring the original album in remastered stereo plus rare bonus audio tracks on disc 1 with bonus dvd audio and video content on disc 2, the dvd discs also feature complete lyrics, a photo gallery and each original album in its entirety in 5.1 surround sound.
También Rhino ha publicado una caja llamada "Talking Heads Brick" con sus 8 lps en dual disc,
Si, yo tampoco tenía ni idea de que es eso del dual disc, asi que me puse a investigar y:
De un lado, CD. Del otro, un DVD. Así es el novedoso y ondero Dual Disc, una formato que comienza a ser usado con gran popularidad por la industria discográfica.
Ojo, que los expertos dicen que, aparentemente, es más una jugada de marketing para vender mejor los discos que un gran avance tecnológico. En el Dual Disc, el disco es aprovechado en ambos lados, como los antiguos vinilos o en los casetes. De un lado trae las canciones como un disco normal, y del otro viene un DVD con fotos, videoclips, entrevistas y material extra.
Este modelo ya se está comercializando en varios países y se pueden ver más detalles en el sitio de internet: www.dualdisc.com
The first complete artist catalog released on DualDisc! This specially packed boxed set contains all eight of Talking Heads' studio albums, expanded and remastered as two-sided DualDiscs featuring audiophile DVD-A sound, rare and previously unreleased material, and video tracks. Packaging includes an outer white molded plastic box with raised song titles, housing eight individually packaged white jewel cases, each containing liner notes, rare photos, and song-inspired art pieces.

'End Of The Century-The Story of The Ramones' es el título del documental que resume la historia de una de las bandas míticas de rock y fundadores del punk.
Johnny, Joey y Dee Dee, los tres miembros fundadores del grupo, participaron activamente en el documental
En 'End of the century', los Ramones hablan sin tapujos sobre cómo dieron origen al punk en 1974 y cómo fueron sistemáticamente repudiados en su país a la vez que fueron venerados en el resto del mundo.
Con una duración total superior a las 2 horas, el DVD incluye el documental cinematográfico completo, cerca de 40 segmentos musicales filmados en directo, además de imágenes de los artistas que ayudaron al nacimiento del Punk, como Iggy Pop (Stooges), New York Dolls y Alice Cooper, entre otros.
Además de los tres miembros originales, el DVD incluye entrevistas con Marky, Richie y CJ Ramone, Debbie Harry ( Blondie), Joe Strummer (The Clash), Anthony Kiedis y John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Lars (Rancid) y managers, productores, periodistas y amigos que rodearon a The Ramones
me he encontrado un blog dedicado a TFC (y a la escena escocesa en general). El problema es que está en japonés... De todas maneras en su última entrada hay un concierto al completo del grupo que dieron en Aberdeen en el 2000. Se lo puede uno descargar gratis en http://teenagefanclub.jugem.cc/

#105 (February 2006)
PS, UK 1966 was rock's first great year - and for many, it remains the greatest year in rock history. Dylan released Blonde On Blonde, The Beatles issued Revolver, The Beach Boys peaked early with Pet Sounds, and everyone from The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Small Faces and The Who to Otis Redding, The Mamas & The Papas and Simon & Garfunkel hit their creative stride. In this 40th anniversary celebration of rock's annus mirabilis, we celebrate the incredible music, unearth rare interviews with the giants of the era and meet the stars of '66, including members of The Kinks, The Small Faces, even Jimmy Savile and Lulu! Elsewhere, we look at the groundbreaking movies and TV of '66 and investigate the changing nature of '66 clubs, drugs and fashion.

Esta coreana a la que Douglas de BMX Bandits define como"a lovely angel" pertenece al grupo Linus Blanket pero está preparando su primer lp en solitario respaldada por la flor y nata del pop escocés (Norman Blake, Bill Wells, Eugene Kelly, Stevie Jackson, Stuart Kidd, Gabriel Telerman, Francis Macdonald and others.) El disco será un homenaje a Burt Bacharach y consistirá en versiones del famoso compositor. Se titulará "Me & Bacharach" y se editará en verano en Japón y Corea a través de Neon Tetra. Además ha grabado un ep con los mismos BMX Bandits titulado Saveoursmiles
sólo 10 euros
Incluye 14 temas inéditos, en su mayor parte exclusivos para este recopilatorio y 7 auténticas obras maestras ya publicadas con anterioridad dedicadas a los viajes o a las ciudades, pertenecientes al repertorio de artistas de la categoría de Ama (“El perro negro”), The Lucksmiths (“The chapter in your life entitled San Francisco”), Polar (“Snow song”), Trembling Blue Stars (“St. Paul's cathedral at night”), Françoiz Breut (“Ciudad del mar”, tema compuesto para ella por Jaime Cristóbal de Souvenir), Humanoid & Piano (“Canción del extranjero siempre”) y Family (“Viaje a los sueños polares”). Por su novedad, hay que hacer especial mención a las canciones que forman parte de ese primer grupo. En él podréis encontrar composiciones propias, como las que para la ocasión han grabado Montevideo (“Hasta Uruguay”), J’aime (el instrumetal “Tiergarten”), Nadadora (“Plásticos y metales”), Lou Anne (“2nd road”), Clovis (“Paseo espacial”), Apenino (“Sol de Japón”), Pipas (“Floortime”) y Violeta Gomez ("Vacaciones eternas") y joyas como las versiones inéditas de Souvenir y Miqui Puig de clásicos de The Box Tops (“The letter”, “La lettre" para los navarros) y Duncan Dhu (“Una calle de París”), respectivamente. También tienen su sitio las primeras canciones editadas de los nuevos proyectos de artistas que han pertenecido a bandas ilustres, es el caso de Uke (“Cosas que perdí en verano”), encabezado por el ex-Niza Roberto Martín (guitarra y voz), o el de Colorado (“Ropa de viaje”), donde junto a Modesto Colorado (guitarra y voz), ex-Zipi Zape, que también contribuyen con la inédita “Vacaciones en París”, encontramos a los ex-Mercromina Carlos Cuevas (batería) y José Manuel Mora (bajo). Igualmente, “Bon voyage” representa el inicio de la aventura en solitario de Jesús Sáez, bajo el pseudónimo de Llum (“The horse on the highway”), paralela a la que tiene con sus compañeros de Polar, que en el caso de Paco Grande ha contribuido en tareas de producción. Por último, antes de repasar el tracklist y los datos del disco, hay que hacer un capítulo aparte para destacar la labor que Javier Aramburu hace en la ilustración y el diseño gráfico de “Bon voyage”, en particular, y en el de la colección “Teoría y Práctica Melódica”, en general. Sin duda, el remate al trabajo realizado con esmero por muchas personas de dentro y de fuera de Jabalina y el mejor envoltorio posible para una colección de canciones como esta.
En resumidas cuentas, si echamos mano de las cifras, las principales características de esta recopilación son:
· Veintiún grupos: 10 artistas pertenecientes o que han formado parte de Jabalina (Montevideo, Souvenir, Ama, J’aime, Polar, Nadadora, Lou Anne, Zipi Zape, Apenino y Humanoid & Piano,) y 11 artistas invitados afines o de sellos amigos de Jabalina (The Lucksmiths, Miqui Puig, Colorado, Uke, Llum, Clovis, Trembling Blue Stars, Pipas, Françoiz Breut, Family y Violeta Gomez).
· Veintiún canciones: 14 de ellas inéditas, versiones o temas propios a cargo de Montevideo, Souvenir, J’aime, Miqui Puig, Colorado, Uke, Nadadora, Llum, Lou Anne, Clovis, Zipi Zape, Apenino, Pipas y Violeta Gomez, la mayoría de ellos exclusivos para este recopilatorio.
· 78:01 minutos de duración total.
· Formato: CD digipak.
· Diseño gráfico: Javier Aramburu.
· Masterización: Arturo Vaquero
· Precio: 10 euros

Rachel MacKenzie also joined BMX Bandits, the first lady Bandit ever. It is really exciting for me having a new voice and personality to write for ...and Rachel sings so pretty, so from the heart and she makes me laugh a lot... Laughing is good medicine!!
Nuevo lp, nueva formación (sin Nice Man y con David Scott Pearlfishers - y una chica) y celebrando su 20 aniversario. BMX Bandits have a brand new album out on February 3rd 2006 on P Vine Records in Japan called My Chain. The album will be released a month or two later on Rev-ola for Europe. My Chain is the 14th album release by BMX Bandits and me... and this year marks the 20th anniversary of our first release, the single E102 on 53rd & 3rd records (spotted E102 cover in February's Uncut magazine). 2006 feels like a special year for BMX Bandits. Some of us will BMXers will we be visiting Japan in February for a series of semi-acoustic shows (see below) If you come see us in Japan please come up and say "hello" or "konichiwa"...it would be swell to meet you. In Summer we completed the NEW BMX album MY CHAIN. It was a difficult album to make but I'm really proud of it and a lot of friends have told me it is the best thing I've done, I think so too. Next Francis became an ex-BMX Bandit (which was a kind of scarey decision because he's so good at putting stuff together musically and a great writer but I think it was the right time for both of us to go explore our separate things). Then David Scott became an official BMX Bandit, after years of contributing to BMX recordings. Rachel MacKenzie also joined BMX Bandits, the first lady Bandit ever. It is really exciting for me having a new voice and personality to write for ...and Rachel sings so pretty, so from the heart and she makes me laugh a lot... Laughing is good medicine!! I hope you'll enjoy My Chain, I think it's our best so far.
