nachtrag - mai 2008
13 Sep 2008, 22:18 by majox
sechs konzerte in einem monat – ich glaub das war persönlicher rekord. und zu keinem gibt es eine review – bis auf die bisherige konzertenttäuschung des jahres hier
und das liegt nicht daran, dass die konzerte schlecht gewesen wären, nein im gegenteil. neben der bereits erwähnten enttäuschung waren auch die zwei bisher besten konzerte des jahres dabe. war nur zu wenig zeit und zuwenig antrieb hier ein paar zeilen zu hinterlassen. und bevor der kommende konzertherbst wieder gnadenlos zuschlägt sollte ich das ändern. also spät aber doch…
Thu 1 May – Grosstadtgeflüster, FM4 Überraschungskonzert
fm4-überraschungskonzerte sind immer ein wenig seltsam. nicht ganz mainstream, aber auch nicht ganz alternative. irgendwie immer dazwischen. meist ist das verhältniss der musiker zum radiosender sehr innig. hat die sängerin mit dem redakteur oder der drummer mit der praktikantin geschlafen? egal.
diesmal war frühzeitiges anstehen angesagt, da ich nicht auf der gästeliste stand. rein kamen eigentlich alle. aber das chaos die gästelistegäste vom glücksritterrest zu trennen gelang auch der ARGE nicht besser als dem rockhouse. so schwer kann das doch nicht sein, oder? ist ja schließlich nicht das erste überraschungskonzert.
egal. es war gut gefüllt, aber noch genug platz zum tanzen. Grossstadtgeflüster waren bemüht und willig. die stimmung ok. aber irgendwie kann ich mir nicht helfen. scheinbar haben die nur ein wirklich gutes lied: Ich muss gar nichts. das ist allerdings so gut, dass sie es auch zwei mal spielen können ohne dass man böse ist. das wars dann aber auch schon…
Thu 8 May – Digitalism, Martin Peter
fast genauso wenig lässt sich zu Digitalism sagen. nur eben positiv. großartiges konzert – eins der highlights 2008. futuristische, kühle visuals und bühnendekoration. die muffathalle wurde in eine bar verwandelt, hinter dem tresen bedienten zwei dj´s den durst nach beats. ganz großes elektro-tennis!
Wed 21 May – Gustav, cherry sunkist
ein paar tage später gabs dann gleich das nächste highlight. Gustav kam ins jazzit nach salzburg. gustav ist eva jantschitsch und im studio mit ihrem laptop ihre eigene band. hier auf der bühne verstärkt durch gitarre und tasteninstrumente mit befreundeten musikern.
vor jahren gewann sie mit Rettet die Wale den fm4-protestsong contest. nun ist sie mit ihrem zweiten album auf tour und sie ist nicht mehr und nicht weniger als the state of the art der deutschsprachigen alternativ pop musik. sie ist da wo alle anderen sein wollen, alle! Wir sind Helden würden gerne wieder annähernd so konsumkritische lieder schreiben wie Neulich im Kanal. Sportfreunde Stiller würden gerne mal wieder so einen schrägen song spielen wie Verlass die Stadt. einzig Tocotronic und Peter Licht können ihr noch annähernd das wasser reichen.
auch musikalisch ist sie den meisten meilenweit voraus. während andere krampfhaft versuchen den neuen elektronischen trend hinterherzuhecheln ist eva jantschitsch mit ihren arrangements auf der höhe der zeit – nein, sie gibt hier den takt an. state of the art, ich sagte es schon. dazu gabs wieder feine visuals, die sicher auch den freunden von digitalism gefallen hätten.
wie lächerlich wirkt da alles was sich mia, klee oder sonst wie nennt. felix austria!
Fri 23 May – Rotifer, Ernst Molden
nach dem fm4-überraschungkonzert, der ehemaligen fm4-protestsong contest-gewinnerin nun der dritte bezug zum besten radiosender der welt. robert rotifer ist nicht nur musiker, sondern auch redakteur bei fm4. eigentlich lebt er schon seit jahren in london, von dort sendet er seine „heartbeats“ alle zwei wochen nach wien, blogt und darf sonst die großen der branche interviewen.
wie einst Billy Bragg gab er seine songs solo mit e- bzw. akustik-gitarre zum besten. leider muss man sagen, dass sie auf dem album besser klingen als in der solo-live-version. bei aller symphatie und sichtlichem engagement.
Thu 29 May – Kevin Devine
das war eine intro-intim-veranstaltung. und es war mehr als intim. vielleicht 20 leute verirrten sich an diesem extrem heißen tag ins feierwerk. war eindeutig eher ein abend für den biergarten. musikalisch hat mich weder Kevin Devine noch jenny Owen Youngs vom hocker gehaun. auch hier gilt: bei aller symphatie und sichtlichem engagement. aber vielleicht wars einfach nur zu heiß und ich zu konzertsatt. -
Double Oven
11 Sep 2008, 07:18 by jonniewilks
Rumours are circling The Loving Oven camp that, rather than having split up after their 4th gig, they've been hard at work on their long-awaited debut album, tentatively titled, The Parson's Bisque. Work on the album began a year ago, and those close to the band are reporting that it has developed into an 18-track double album influenced by everyone from Maher Shalal Hash Baz to Syd Barrett.
The nucleus of the band also make up Fukuoka live duo, The Grizzly Folk, and it's thought that some of the tracks used in that project have been included as Loving Oven work. For some idea of what's to come, we recommend downloading The Grizzly Folk's existing EP, as well as The Loving Oven's 2-track debut single, available for free here at TADA Music.

RNC Protests!
3 Sep 2008, 07:51 by RottenBerry
So...while having the RNC in your backyard is a shitty thing, especially this year, and especially because St. Paul has reacted by turning the city into an overt police state full of super scary dudes in riot gear, it has brought good music.
SEIU Take Back Labor Day
This event was great and by far the most peaceful thing I have seen thus far in the city since the RNC kickoff. Why? Probably the lack of riot police. Labor-activist-extraordinaire/musician Billy Bragg kicked off the show, which was weird to me...but I guess that he's a lot less famous to most of the people in attendance than the other acts on the bill. The show was amazing and of course, Bragg's subject matter was appropriate. Furthermore, it was nice to hear someone not from the US talk about labor as an international movement and about the current political scene in the US.
Steve Earle and Allison Moorer were next -- and this was especially amazing. Steve Earle is a recent discovery for me and his live show only helped cement my fondness for him. Earle covered Pete Seeger and Moorer performed a cover of
A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke and this was also amazing.
Next was Tom Morello (The Nightwatchman?). While I must say that I support many of Morello's politics as he tells them, seeing him live and solo only functioned to prove the degree to which the members of Rage Against the Machine need to admit that they really need each other--at least in a musical sense. The highlight of his set was a cover of
Guerrilla Radio and a cover of Woody Guthrie's
This Land Is Your Land.
Atmosphere
Love the band. Hate the crowd they bring in and I must say it kind of marred my day a bit. While I realize this seems weird as I was a part of the crowd, the kind of kids that tend to go to Atmosphere / Rhymesayers shows in the Twin Cities are kind of obnoxious. Still, the set was awesome, if a little slow, and I think Atmosphere has improved over the years--although their older material remains among my favorite music. More actual songs were played this time around and it was great.
Mos Def
There are some artists you just can't fuck with, and I think that Mos Def just may be one of them. The absolute highlight of the show for me, not least of all because many of the stupid Atmosphere fans got away from the gate and appeared to leave so I got up front and could see really well. The set seemed really short, but that could be because it was totally awesome! He did perform a Black Star song.
I missed The Pharcyde. Why? I won't lie. I never wear practical shoes anywhere and my feet were super sore and in terrible shape. It was time to go.
Or was it? I had problems leaving because the St. Paul police force for the RNC had shut down a bunch of roads, which caused a bunch of buses to be re-routed and was a general pain in the ass. If there are dudes who wear women's shoes on the riot squad, which I'm sure there are, they are definitely not sympathetic people! They were firing tear gas and pepper spray at a number of groups as I was leaving and it was pretty terrifying. I think that a city should warn you if they plan to unleash a bunch of maniacal, various weapon-wielding lunatics upon you. Honestly. Failure to do so is just bad form.
Today there was a different show on the steps of the capitol. I only saw two artists and the Green Party VP candidate speak -- I had classes for the first time this semester today! Umi of P.O.W. performed and while I must say that his music was pretty cool, he was kind of frightening me with all the talk about hating police and rioting and whatnot. After seeing the lines of riot police and footage / photos of what they did to people in my city, I was all about avoiding riot situations because I don't like getting my ass kicked for no good reason. He has an album coming out in September, I think. Dead Prez played next and was amazing! The crowd was smaller than I'd anticipated, but this didn't put any kind of a damper on their performance. They stuck to really political tunes for the most part, which was awesome because a number of bands have seemed to be avoiding that.
And no, I did not see Anti-Flag, nor did I want to but I can respect the political perspective they can introduce people to.
After dead prez I walked downtown to the Poor People's Campaign for Human Rights rally and saw the police send horses dashing into groups of people, after they had arrested yet another reporter / journalist type (poor, poor Amy Goodman). Furthermore, I saw them chase like, maybe ONE person into a huge crowd while spraying pepper spray and causing a shitload of collateral damage that probably didn't have to happen. But I guess you don't need to think when you are wearing a helmet like that or one of those things over your junk.
I followed the whole march, which was longer than the local news reported it, and was surrounded by riot police for most of the things. An enjoyable highlight after we got a bunch of people from the capitol was singing "We all live in a racist police state" to the tune of Yellow Submarine. And that whole, "This is what democracy looks like" chant is a good one. Particularly appropriate given the overall climate was the "Who's streets? OUR STREETS!" chant.
The last few days have been an experience, sometimes totally terrifying, that I would never want to lose -- but not something that I would necessarily want to repeat. Hopefully things get better tomorrow because I'm surely heading back downtown.

Great Festival
2 Sep 2008, 14:11 by evilecho
Mon 1 Sep – SEIU Labor Day Festival
The festival began around noon on 9/1, but none of the artist where schedule to play till 3. First on the list was Billy Bragg then Steve Earle, Allison Moorer, Atmosphere, Tom Morello, Mos Def, and finally The Pharcyde to close it down. Everyone that performed was great with the exception of The Pharcyde. I couldn't say any longer and had to go. I'd have to say the best shows were that of Mos Def and Atmosphere. I can't wait to see another one of their shows. -
Dandelion Radio - September 2008 shows
30 Aug 2008, 08:20 by DandelionRadio
Andrew Morrison:
Andy has two shows repeating every day in September's schedule on Dandelion Radio. His two hour regular show features two brand new sessions: one from John Peel faves Decoration, the other from Fidgital. Decoration's second session for the show includes exclusive versions of material from their forthcoming second album 'See You After The War' and a mystery cover version. Fidgital contribute an innovative live violin and decks set as their session tracks. There's also a live recording from Alex Canasta's album launch party in Copenhagen at which Andy was a guest DJ, as well as an exclusive new remix of a track from the album. The show also has several tracks from bands playing at September's Bestival on the Isle of Wight and the excellent 12" version of Bloc Party's new single 'Mercury'.
The latest instalment of the occasional Andy's Archives finds him once again rummaging randomly through his sizeable record collection for an hour, picking lots of excellent tracks that are at least ten years old. Choices this time around include Mansun, Billy Bragg, The Future Sound of London, Arab Strap, Dubstar, The Prodigy, All About Eve, and many more. Join Andy for this aural trip down memory lane, with classic and obscure selections for your listening pleasure.
Listen out for Andy presenting a show on Bestival FM, live from the festival site on Saturday September 6th from 9am 'til 10am - broadcasting to the entire Isle of Wight on 87.7MHz FM and the world at http://www.bestival.net!
Dubster:
As we near the end of another glorious British summer...ahem, Steve and Brian bring you 3 more hours of sunshine from Scotland's T in the Park and the Wickerman Festival. Having secured press passes for both, marvel as they try desperately to secure interviews with musical icons, struggling with recording levels and a recently aquired addiction to Pimms along the way.
There are interviews galore with some of Scoltand's finest upcoming musical talent and a few surprise guests, plus a cracking set of tracks from performers at both weekends. So don't be putting away the tent and soft bog roll yet, let us take you on one more summer festival journey before the onset of dark nights and colder weather once more drag you into the depths of misery and self pity.
Will they get to speak to Mark E. Smith, Glasvegas or Annie Nightingale? ... You'll just have to tune in to find out.
Wagon roll!!
Jeff Grainger:
Hello again! My Show for September is a two hour bonanza of Myspace finds; (KateGoes and Jujuman to name two.) mixed with Northern Soul resplendence; (Could this be Bill Cosby’s debut on Dandelion Radio?) Topped up with brilliant tracks of yore from the likes of Sister Nancy and Paul Rooney and equally brilliant tracks of the ‘Now’ with Warning! Heatwave, The Beep seals and Clutter vs Susan Matthews. Gabrielle’s Wish bring us this months featured Album with the jaw dropping-ly awesome ‘Portal’. Cornerstone to the proceedings is a nod to the late great Isaac Hayes
As a final touch, in a desperate attempt, to usher in the start of Oldham’s Dandelion Radio Nights starting the Thursday 25th of September. (See News/Events page) There’s a track from each of the Bands on the bill; Bingo Jesus, Rev Porl with Teatime, My Captive Audience and Contra Mundum.
Right lets get to work on Octobers’ Goodies
Mark Cunliffe:
It's September and the leaves are going to start falling to the ground quicker than Didier Drogba feeling a puff of wind in the penalty box. On the show we have a recording of Derby's king of drum & bass, Iziah DC live from The Vic Inn. For his live shows he employs the talents of P.Fine on MCing duties and M Alton on sax.....it's BIG! As well as that we have Sugar Bill getting all boombastic on us. There's No.Lay spitting some truth and Nigel Mansell makes an appearance but only under the guidance of Brighton's Chevron. For the kids we have a visit to London Zoo courtesy of The Bug. sarandon has a Massive Haircut but hopefully not a Gianluigi Buffon. Vex'd finally gets a look in (I've been meaning to play it for MONTHS....sorry Vex'd). Top Cat goes a bit jungle on us in an old skool stylee. Damien Shingleton's found a band and has gone Tunng like which meets approval round these parts. Finally, The Rocky Nest feel things are moving in a promising fashion which is a nice positive note to end on I think.... :-)
Pete Jackson:
September's show sees us invite a few mates round to console us as summer finally gives up and disappears. The Greencoats take a trip from Sweden, Lucy and The Popsonics pop round from Brazil, and Stereolab and Dr Usui join us from space (probably) to enjoy some crazy psychedelic rock from India and Nigeria and some irreligious bluegrass from The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir.
Plus we warm up for the first Dandelion Radio night in Warrington on September 19th with some classic live mayhem from headliners Lovecraft.
See you down the front!
Rachael Neiman:
In September’s very special edition of ‘The Rachael Neiman Experience’, we have two extra special guests, Ste Mccabe and Paul Forster who are joining us to talk about the forthcoming Ladybois – Men and bois who support Ladyfest’ Ladyfest Manchester fund-raising extravaganza and play some of the bands who will be performing at the event, including Pete Bentham and the Dinnerladies and The Seven Inches. We also play a couple of songs from Ste’s forthcoming debut album Hate Mail. Paul and Ste also pick some favourite tracks from the likes of Tender Trap, Cars Can Be Blue and a couple of golden oldies from The Popguns and Huggy Bear.
Elsewhere we have riot grrrl goodness from Trickbabies, Violet Violet, micropenis, Postcode, dark pop from Fuck Dress, Captain Polaroid and Paul Hawkins plus sublime indiepop from KateGoes, Mexican Kids At home, Shrag, Silence At Sea, Socks and Shoes, The Deirdres, Awesome Wells, The Tony Head Experience, Hyperbubble, ShiSho, Gnu and the shrew and Cherryade's amazing new signings The Lovely Eggs. We also take a chance to celebrate the release of the Best Of Fortuna Pop! Compilation and the upcoming ‘Remembering Slampt’ festival in Newcastle by playing a classic track from Spraydog.
Rocker:
September brings another packed three hour show from Rocker. There's live tracks from the current LP by The Manhattan Love Suicides, and more new tracks than you can shake a stick at, unless you try quite hard. Or are very good at shaking sticks at large numbers of things.
There's tracks from The Wave Pictures; The Brazen; Bakers at Dawn; Je suis Animal; the Tamborines; Engine; The Bumblebees; Lonely Boy; Skream; Puerto Muerto; Coming Soon; Ballboy; Flannel; and (the) Nervous Rex. Also new singles from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart; Phil Wilson; Fuck Dress; and Pete Green; as well as techno / electro from facundo mohrr; The Chemical Brothers; Sennh; and Ricardo Tobar.
The Charlatans; Laura Cantrell; and Jeremy Warmsley all cover songs by the same act from the 80s, there's a remix of a classic 80s track by Laurie Anderson, and this month's Peel's big 45 is a seminal electronic reggae track from the same era. There's also a brace of classic 60s soul records, in tribute to two of the great singers who we have lost in the last few weeks.
As well as little known acts, here's this month's little known fact: The Manhattan Love Suicides are named after a series of raw and extreme erotic short films from 1985 by New York underground filmmaker Richard Kern, who also directed the "Death Valley 69" video by Sonic Youth.
Simon Hickinbotham
This month's show is a staggering 92.8% music, so that means only 7.2% glitches, mumbling, false starts and pauses whilst frantically hitting alt+tab. Of the musical content, 30% is from Britain, (including Ugly Billy, Dub Syndicate, The Polaroids and Little Boots), 7% is from Japan (Velocityut and In Corridors), and 3.5% each from Italy (Gum) and Germany (Phonotones).
We have two songs from fifties America - I didn't plan it, it just happened that way, and to give more details here would spoil the surprise. However, I can reveal that we'll also be hearing a track from Pepe Kalle - one of the African artists that, to quote John Peel "will make you dance until you bleed".
Yank Sizzler:
Come lament the end of summer with me on the Yank Sizzler this month. We will fight the coming of shorter days with awesome new music from Bodies of Water, Suzannah Johannes, Coat Party, The Wilders, Eli Paperboy Reed & Anna Kramer.
The fortifications of our spirits will be strengthened by superb classics from Dr. Alimantado, Tom Waits, Ken Boothe, Percy Mayfield and Galaxie 500.
Lastly the tunes of Bembeya Jazz National, King Khan, DJ Donna Summer, Modeselektor, Vivian Girls, Blood on the Wall and CPC Gangbangs will ensure that we do not go quietly. -

Billy Bragg -- A new England
31 Jul 2008, 17:05 by SimRos2000
Billy Bragg
A New England
Easy, it's 1983, everyone is talking about Billy Bragg -- I didn't really get it -- I was looking to understand why he was different -- in those days, I was only interested in something new if it was different. Simon Cahit was right. I was only interested in it in the begining because everyone said it was trendy. Later on, I was able to enjoy it for its own sake.
