Main Entry: syn·es·the·sia Pronunciation: \ˌsi-nəs-ˈthē-zh(ē-)ə\ Function: noun Etymology: New Latin, from syn- -esthesia (as in anesthesia) Date: circa 1891 1: a concomitant sensation; especially : a subjective sensation or image of a sense (as of color) other than the one (as of sound) being stimulated 2: the condition marked by the experience of such sensations ___________________________________________________________ Um, yeah, so now that I’ve established from the song title that Mogwai suffers from synesthesia (since they smell and hear the sun), here’s [...]

Check out an extensive review, courtesy of our endlessly entertaining guest blogger Megan B, below. Enjoy her analysis of PJ Harvey's recent Moscow performance here. All accompanying photos (from MBV's June 20th London show) courtesy of Freekorps.It was one of those gigs where you had to isolate yourself from all reviews beforehand; if you caught snippets, it sent a wave of trembling into your gut. Too many of those waves and the anticipation would shake you out of existence before the [...]

Best boat party ever! Thanks to everyone that came out on Thursday night - we're sorry to the folks that we had to turn away at the dock, but the crowd was way bigger than David and I expected! Next time around, we'll have the bigger boat booked. To those of you who did come aboard, thank so much for dancing with us - if you want to, you can have a look at my photos from the party here.

I recently received a 4 song sampler of the new album from New York’s Freshkills. I am pleased to report that I have a song from it that I am cleared to share. While it’s definitely not up everyone’s alley, if you’ve ever eaten off a bar room floor (or passed out on one) this will more than likely put a smile on your face. The self-titled second album was produced by Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, The Locust, Two Gallants). [...]

“Tiedye was formed during nights of bikemoshing, slowdancing and wierdsailing. Two guys form the heart of this obscure and obvious formation of what we call the band Tiedye. From the rocks and waves of the west coast of Sweden, Tiedye explores and develops the sounds of dreaming disco, windblowing pop and gruyèresmelling rock”. Tiedye just signed to the Italians Do It Better label and it feels like a good home for the Gothenburg duo with their brand of balearic disco. [...]

Photo by Ben CorriganMy first couple times through The Duke Spirit's second album Neptune, way back in March, my impressions were that it was a remarkably unremarkable record. Certainly passable straight ahead rock, but nothing especially distinctive. A revisit some months later... and still not much to speak of. When I saw them live a few years back I was impressed by their energy onstage, but don't think any of their songs stuck with me and again, that's the case. [...]

WFMU's Beware of the Blog |

We'll credit Gaylord Fields' onstage Feelies intro invocation/namedrop of Bud Costello as the positive vibeage that kept big rain away from Battery Park yesterday, but it was a great atmosphere all around for the thousands who attended the WFMU-supported Sonic Youth/Feelies show put on by River To River and Downtown Alliance. We should say upfront that both bands' soundmen were geniuses, it's the best I've heard either act, and a big shout to our own Irene Trudel, Bill Bowen, Scott [...]

“List your favourite record from every year you’ve been alive.” This is probably the nerdiest thing I’ve ever done but it was an interesting exercise. The idea was taken from here, here and here. In order to help you pick your favourites, you can use the extensive Wikipedia pages, the critics list at Pazz & Jop or with the help of an 1001 Albums to Hear Before you Die book. Here is my musical genealogy in list form. Explanations of my [...]

The New York Times reviews James Frey's novel, Bright Shiny Morning. Frey is lazy about his lazy prose — so lazy, in fact, that some readers will be tempted to rationalize away his neglect and carelessness so as not to feel abused. When Frey presents Parker’s agent as “incredibly smart, incredibly savvy, incredibly smooth, incredibly successful and incredibly rich,” it’s possible — if one is used to being demeaned and has grown practiced in denial — to think that Frey is [...]

Burning Leaves, Bella Union Stage Yesterdays events certainly took their toll on TLOBF. What with the rain, the uneccessary walking, the rain, the pretty awful lineup on the main stages and, not to mention the rain. But we are not to be defeated - after all, we’re here for 4 days - it’s a marathon of stamina ladies and gents. Yes, Thursday = wash out. The bad weather conditions meant people were keeping under cover and pretty much ignoring the [...]

It seems that In Ghost Colours highlight, Hearts On Fire is rapidly turning into this years D.A.N.C.E. On the plus side there's always at least one great remix in the pile, but at the same time it can become a bit of a shitter as I invariably end up hating the original. This presents me with something of a conundrum. Do I jump of the bandwagon and get trigger happy with these remixes, or do I hold fire to help maintain [...]
