November Rain



In this cold and rainy time of the year I would rather stay in bed all day, under a warm and cosy duvet with a cup of tea in my hand, in a room that smells of vanilla scented candles, and listen to some music, than go out in the chilly weather. I made a playlist that is suitable for that exact occasion:




Fleet Foxes - Meadowlarks
The Coral - Jacqueline
Crystal Castles - Tell Me What To Swallow
Joe Purdy - I Love The Rain The Most
Vampire Weekend - Ottoman
John Vanderslice - The Parade
Billie The Vision & The Dancers - Swedish Sin
Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah
Shout Out Louds - Impossible
Spoon - The Underdog
The Sea And Cake - Fuller Moon
Lykke Li - Time Flies
Elliott Smith - Sweet Adeline
The Troubadours - Gimme Love
Fredrik - Alina's Place

The Streets @ Muffathalle



Who would have thought that a hiphop concert can be so full of energy that your shirt's almost wet from sweat afterwards, because of the constant jumping along with the beat? Not me. Maybe it has to do with my opinion that you can not go as crazy on the dancefloor to a hip hop song as you can to, let's say, indietronic like Digitalism or to indierock like Bloc Party. But it doesn't matter because yesterday The Streets proved me wrong. I screamed, I jumped, I shouted and I went totally nuts. This made me realise that The Streets and his syndicate are not only artists, they are devoted performers too. When Mike got the whole crowd to get down on the floor or everybody to freeze in middance, I became convinced that wahtever he decides to do after the tour of his third an last album is over in 11 days, he will be succesful. Even though they have been touring since the end of summer and even though the drummer, John, almost wasn't able to perform due to a small Jägermeister intoxication, tonights show felt almost like their first. Neither when Mike Skinner took his shirt of and went crowdsurfing nor when he said that they really enjoy being here tonight it felt unhonest, practiced and like something he does at every show. To me it was original, original pirate material, and all in all it was a great performance which really exceeded my expectations and I must admit that according to me that was just a perfect example of how a sunday night can be best spent.

There is a need for some Indie...





Friska Viljor - Old Man

Razorlight - North London Trash

Final Fantasy - Horsetail Feathers

I Call Shotgun - Indie Sweat

There is not much that can be found on
I Call Shotgun on the Net, however the 3-man-group from Leeds have a really cool sound going on, and this song sounds like a real floorfiller to me and their other songs are not far from. Keep an eye, or better an ear, open for these guys deserve alot more attention...

Tomorrow: A short review of the The Streets concert
