Dross
Purgatory is the condition or process of purification or temporary punishment [ 1 ] in which, it is believed, the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for Heaven. This is a theological idea that has ancient roots and is well-attested in early Christian literature... Read More

Film Review: Iron Sky (2012)'Iron Sky' (UK Release: 23 May '12) // Words: Ced Yuen Nazis from the Moon: that’s the concept for 'Iron Sky' , which was scheduled for a single-day release** before going straight to DVD. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Despite the ridiculous concept and low budget, it fares no worse than something like 'Transformers 3' . In 2018, the US president (a thinly veiled Sarah Palin spoof) sends a black man into space as a publicity stunt. The astronaut ( Christopher Kirby ) stumbles across Nazis, who have been hiding on the moon. Thinking that they are being invaded ...Keep Hope Inside23 May 2012

This Is No Wind-UpThe Wind Up Birds From: Leeds, United Kingdom The Wind-Up Birds are from Leeds. They are named after a book by Haruki Murakami. They use good Yorkshire words like owt and nowt. They write songs about independent record shops, the reality of life, the monotony of work, and escape. They sound like the Fall stalking Art Brut in The Wedding Present's library. It's somehow fitting that, in the month that the Centre For Creative Arts launched their impressive project to release John Peel's record collection on-line, a gang of indie throwbacks, for whom Peel band would be ...The Devil Has The Best Tuna23 May 2012

Fest Bests: Bloc.2012.Quietly, calmly moving along from its Butlins residence this year's Bloc. relocates to the similarly newly rejuvenated London Pleasure Gardens way out east somewhere along the DLR. Exchanging Centre Stage and Crazy Horse for German deep-sea fishing vessel MS Stubnitz and the imposing scenic surrounds of derelict warehouses, this year's festivities sensibly snub the Sabbath, a day that's traditionally as limp as a waterlogged Minehead hotdog stuck in the seashore as far as most festivals are concerned. Thus Bloc. is to take place on Friday, 6th July and Saturday, 7th July, and our scattily selected highlights are ...Dots & Dashes23 May 2012

Hyper Cyber-Balladry, Yeasayer.At long bleedin' last Yeasayer hath returned. With physicals of this one, Henrietta, shipped out to the band's mailing list a short while ago all of a less eager and/or engaged disposition may now indulge via the below stream (ta, We All Want Someone To Shout For ). It's immediately seemingly pretty evident that the genre-bounders have been listening extensively to fellow New Yorkers Battles' Gloss Drop / Dross Glop (either/ or) although it's a wholly effervescent fizz of hyper, cyber-balladry irregardless and a quite wondrous reintroduction to bona fide pioneers of our times. Almost enough to engender ...Dots & Dashes16 May 2012

Song of the Day: Battles – Ice CreamThere’s little better than efficient creativity – and Battles has that combination down. The rock group blew listeners away with its first album, Mirrored, in 2007. Shortly after came Gloss Drop – and now (enter the efficient creativity component) – welcome Dross Glop. The band’s latest creation is unique, yet capitalizes on the second album’s tracks by remixing all of its original tracks via guest remixers including The Field, Kode9, and Qluster. The result? Awesomeness. My favorite track on the … →Panic Manual12 May 2012

Battles march on Middle America this June ..War is hell, but Battles seem like pretty nice guys. In fact, they’re such upstanding young men that they want to see all y’alls’ beaming, smiling, ecstatic faces on their upcoming June tour. They’re going to Ohio. They’re going to Colorado. They’re going to the bathroom frequently and washing their hands. They’re Battles, the best dudes in town! As a further token of good faith, take a gander at these remixes from last year’s album Gloss Drop ( TMT Review ). As previously reported on these very e-pages, the remixes (ingeniously entitled Dross Glop ) are ...Tiny Mix Tapes11 May 2012
