Parquet Courts - Stoned And Starving (Live on KEXP)

shagen454 says...

Hell yeah, I want to promote this but people on the Sift don't give a rat's ass about good music unfortunately.

Definite The Fall, Mark E. Smith vibe, which I like but sorta hate because come on man! Don't copy Mark E. Smith he'll stick his smoke in your retina and pour scotch down the hole!! But the discordant krautrock vibe... I am always up for krautrock rehashes lol, when they're jamming reminds me of some of my old bands

Fuck You Hipsters

shagen454 says...

Remember the beats? When they were around people just thought they were weirdos. Obscured by their own ideas, they made their own art, listened to their own music (Harry Partch, anyone?), created their own culture, they were the original punks. Then the hippies came along... and ruined everything until krautrock, metal/stoner metal was made in retaliation of that culture.

If people enjoy creating their own culture - then how dare you label them. I'm not saying that there is not such a thing as a "trendy f^&king hipster" but many a folk could fit these rash/snotty generalizations are genuinely doing their own thing, not because it's "cool" or "trendy" but because they believe in it. Don't forget that. Do what you want but fuck off with your ignorant generalizations of people and likewise people that fit your jealous generalization mold will probably refrain from calling you a brain-dead, culture less, consumer-slut, square that listens to Van Halen and lives a boring life.

Oh, I forgot to add an ironic: GOOBERS!

Stockhausen: Gesang der Jünglinge (Early Electronic Music)

A huge influence to many ; but in rock music he is fairly popular for influencing the krautrock movement of Germany in the early 70's such as Can, Amon Duul II and possibly most important of all, Faust.

Bomb the Bass ft. Paul Conboy - So Special

Eklek says...

Ah Bomb the Bass is back in collaboration with other artists:)
This track/video bit long but features some interesting melodies and moods I think. It refers to the video for The Prodigy, Smack my bitch up.

Future Chaos: Bomb The Bass in the 21st Century

Quietly in November 2006, news was posted by Simenon on the Bomb The Bass Myspace page that a new album had been recorded, and was about to be mixed. Much later, in January 2008, and again without fanfare through their Myspace page, it was announced that the Future Chaos album would indeed see the light of day - in May of the same year. Performed, for the best part, with Simenon working on a vintage Minimoog synth, the album, which consists of fourteen tracks is said to be more electronic than previous efforts, with the strong use of the Minimoog lending a cohesive feel across the set.

As with all previous Bomb The Bass albums, Future Chaos is a collaborative outing. This time, Simenon has teamed up with former Screaming Trees and Queens Of The Stone Age singer, Mark Lanegan, the Krautrock-loving and decidedly un-Japanese Fujiya & Miyagi, and Richard Thair and Jakeone of Toob. Most notable, however, is the appearance of Paul Conboy, who is best known for his partnership with Adrian Corker in A.P.E. and Corker Conboy. Conboy sings on six tracks, has co-written a great deal of the music, and also co-produces alongside Simenon, making this the most collaborative Bomb The Bass album to date. Adam Sky has also become involved with the project, by way of contributing remix duties to a track called Butterfingers.

With Bomb The Bass now up and running as a viable band, rather than production orientated studio entity, live concert dates are being finalised to coincide with the May release of Future Chaos. Again, Paul Conboy will feature, adding keyboards and vocals to the live set-up. Low key warm-up shows were undertaken in February 2008 in Holland - due, no doubt, to Simenon currently residing in Amsterdam. In keeping with the multi-media ethos of the band, video artists will be on hand to scratch video and animation projections over the stage.

David Bowie: "Heroes"

maudlin says...

Wikipedia:

"Heroes" (the quotation marks are part of the title, for reasons of irony)[1] is an album by David Bowie, released in 1977. Serving as the second installment of Bowie and Eno's "Berlin Trilogy" (the other two being Low and Lodger) "Heroes" is similar in sound to Low but more robust and visceral. Of the three albums, it was the most befitting of the appellation "Berlin", being the only one wholly recorded and mixed there. The mood of the record reflected the zeitgeist of the Cold War, symbolised by the divided city.

The title track remains one of Bowie's best known, a classic story of two lovers who meet at the Berlin Wall. The album is considered one of Bowie's best by critics, notably for the contributions of guitarist Robert Fripp (for which he flew in from the U.S. to record in one day).[2] It was marketed by RCA with the catch phrase, "There’s Old Wave. There’s New Wave. And there's David Bowie…"[3] The album made #3 in the UK and stayed in the charts for 26 weeks, but was less successful in the U.S. where it peaked at #35.

With "Heroes", Bowie again paid tribute to his Krautrock influences: the title is a nod to the track "Hero" on the album NEU! '75 by the German band Neu! while "V-2 Schneider" is inspired by and named for Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider; earlier in 1977, Kraftwerk had name-checked Bowie on the title track of Trans-Europe Express. The cover photo was inspired by Erich Heckel's Roquairol, as was that of The Idiot, one of Bowie's collaborations with Iggy Pop that was released the same year.[4]

Though "Heroes" included its share of dark and atmospheric instrumentals such as "Sense of Doubt" and "Neuköln", as well as the sprawling confessional "Blackout", after the melancholy and inward-looking Low it was regarded as a highly passionate and positive artistic statement.[5][6] This was evident not simply through "Heroes" the song but in the rocking opener "Beauty and the Beast" (released as the second single in January 1978), the raucous "Joe the Lion" and the light-hearted closer "The Secret Life of Arabia".

A number of the album's tracks were played live at Bowie's concerts the following year, captured on record as Stage (1978). Philip Glass adapted a classical suite, "Heroes" Symphony, based on this album, a companion to his earlier Low Symphony. The title track has been covered by numerous artists, whilst "The Secret Life of Arabia" was sung by Billy Mackenzie in 1982 on the British Electric Foundation LP Music of Quality and Distinction."
