David Pajo, best known for playing in every post-___ band to be formed in the 90s and early aughts, is about to embark on a jolly ol’ tour of the British Isles under his best-known personal moniker, Papa M. He’ll probably put on his Aerial M hat to make his way across the ocean, but once properly landed back on solid ground, it’s back to being Big Papa (as he likes to be called). What’s Pajo going to play on this tour? No one knows, though don’t be surprised if he joins a different local band ...

See inside the mind of Dave Pajo!

If only every city had a Hopscotch. Raleigh, NC’s big-big music festival has gotten even bigger this year, with the addition of historical (and possibly haunted!!!) sounding venues like the Long View Center, Memorial Auditorium and the Contemporary Art Museum to its 15 venues strong festival map. There are 175 artists playing this thing, people, with everyone from the likes of Class Actress and Baroness to Liars and Wagner">Mirel Wagner. This year is only Hopscotch’s third go-around, and already they’ve got swell headliners like Built to Spill, The Roots, and The Jesus and Mary Chain keyed ...

Une Pochette Surprise digne de ce nom ne peut que commencer avec mes préférés de l'année. Qui sont aussi ceux de l'année dernière. Et surement ceux de l'année prochaine : coucou WU LYF et sa reprise bien planquée de Papa M (aka David Pajo) extraite de leur session pour KEXP   WU LYF - Krusty (Papa M Cover) by andrey_dvortsov Autres mancuniens : on devrait avoir des nouvelles de Money début 2012. Des images commencent enfin à sortir comme cette vidéo live at Now Wave (Manchester), un nouveau titre de surcroît. A la case 11 décembre du calendrier, pour ceux qui ...

Die neuen Independent-Lieblinge von Wu Lyf haben bei einer Live-Session für den Radiosender KEXP Papa Ms "Krusty" gecovert. Papa M ist ein Projekt von David Pajo , einer amerikanischen Alternative-Rock-Legende. Der Song wurde ganz ohne Gesang und mit dem typischen Wu Lyf-Sound vertont. Doch auch von Videos haben die Briten Ahnung, was sie vor kurzem mit der Verfilmung für "We Bros" ( motor.de berichtete ) bewiesen. Hört und seht euch hier den vor sich hin schwebenden Live-Auftritt an: Wu Lyf - "Krusty" (Papa M-Cover) Das großteils in Eigenregie produzierte und live in einer Kirche aufgenommene Debüt wurde über das eigens gegründete Label Lyf ...

The former Slint guitar wizard Dave Pajo has spent so much time as an indie rock hired axe that his Papa M solo project has gone weirdly underrated. But British guitar-anthem mob WU LYF apparently know their history; they recently recorded a live-in-studio cover of Pajo’s instrumental “Krusty” for the Seattle radio station KEXP. Watch [...]

by Gumshoe • December 2011 I Can’t Review Digital Files I guess there’s no need to express my distaste for cold, cyber-whatever digital files when it comes to effectively reviewing music, but since a lot of promo people and labels think I’m actually going to pay attention to the SoundCloud files they “sent” me (don’t see a return address on these bitches, though), I figured I might as well sound off on the topic once again. The real, inherent question here is, “What do you want me to do with these?” Is it a dumb question? Sure ...

2000: The For Carnation - "Moonbeams" by Devin Friesen on 12-02-2011 Slint’s Spiderland is one of those referential holy grails of 90s indie rock, a work so defining to its genre that it can’t really be separated from its looming shadow of influence. After disbanding by 1992, the members of Slint went on to form and/or contribute to several other projects, including Tortoise, the Breeders, whichever variation of Palace that Will Oldham felt like using that week, and The For Carnation. The For Carnation was vocalist/guitarist Brian McMahon’s post-Slint project. McMahon formed the band in 1994 ...

[photos by acidjack] I first encountered Soft Circle at my inaugural outing to the Brooklyn Knitting Factory back in 2009, when I saw them open for Dave Pajo, aka Papa M (the Papa M recording here).  Since then, I had been keen to have another chance to see another of Soft Circle’s propulsive, experimental sets, [...]

Zu ihrem diesjährigen Auftritt beim Coachella-Festival kollaborierten die New Wave-Rocker von Interpol mit dem Filmproduzenten David Lynch . Dieser steuerte zu ihrem Song "Lights" den "I Touch A Red Button" betitelten Kurzfilm bei. Die ganz in Lynch-Manier verstörende Kombination von Bild und Ton könnt ihr euch nun hier im Stream zu Gemüte führen: Interpol/David Lynch – "I Touch A Red Button" Nachdem 2007 mit " Our Love To Admire " ihr viel umjubeltes drittes Album erschien, verließ Bassist Carlos Dengler kurz nach Fertigstellung des schlicht " Interpol " betitelten Nachfolgers die Band. Diese beschloss dennoch weiterzumachen und fand mit Dave Pajo einen Ersatz, der unter ...
