as matt said... 3 words to describe the show > communion, orgie et énergie!



what an amazing show even more intense as the corona shows i've seen in april of 2005 if that is possible. a great balance between new material and old stuff. they opened their set with keep the car running in my opinion one of the best track on neon bible.

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:

- win playing his guitar and singing off the stage with the crowd in rebellion lies
- one word : TUNNELS
- great rendition of no cars go
- the soft but amazingly powerful my body is a cage
- acoustic version of wake up with regine, win, tim and richard on the floor with their instruments (see video below)

what am i listening to...

here's the artists/tracks that have been rocking my boat lately...

1. Peter, Bjorn & John - understated arrangements, killer melodies, unique vocals and intense rythmics. a must hear... especially the track "young folks"
   
2. The Knife - this artist's tracks have been playing in my ipod for a couple of years now but their latest effort "silent shout" is a gem of post-techno beats layered with all sorts of other analog or synthesized instruments. the unique vocal approach of karen dreijer as well as her sometimes tortured lyrics are the perfect amalgam for my lil' ol' ears. also worth a listen is jose gonzales' cover version of the knife's heartbeats which can be heard in the amazing sony bravia ad with all the colored superballs (180 sec. extended version)
   
3. The Shins - their new album is a real melodic accomplishment. the videoclip for the track phantom limb is for sure one of the best i've seen in a while and the track is nothing short than stellar... great vocal harmonies, very well produced. subpop definately hit one out of the park on this one. (see the video below)

ENJOY!
cheers,

WOW! Aqua Teen Hunger Force Bomb Scare In Boston

art project / guerilla marketing project / publicity for a left field cartoon show caused all this mayhem in Boston yesterday. Now 2 unemployed and starving artists may suffer the consequences of this genius marketing ploy.

The 2 dropouts who got paid to put them (the "devices") up around the city have been arrested and charged with perpetrating a hoax or something... What hoax? It was the city that thought they were bombs and closed bridges and cancelled buses, etc. Bloggers knew what was really going on hours before the city did. And 9 other cities figured it out without causing panic.

best press conference EVER!



see a behing the scenes video of the installation process.
