" will ich ja niemanden nerven, aber die bezüge sind schnell hergestellt und man muss sich nicht ständig wiederholen. wie im besten falle von josienne clarke , die wir im september 2011 portraitierten angesichts der entdeckung ihres erstlings "one light is gone" aus dem jahr 2010. schon damals war ihr sidepart der großartige ben walker, mit dem sie noch im letzten jahr "the seas are deep" aufnahm, auf welches wir unbedingt aufmerksam machen wollen. die beiden spielten ihre liebsten folksongs ein. die sanftheit und bedachtsamkeit, mit ...

Primus has been my favorite band ever since my sixth grade self laid ears on Sailing The Seas Of Cheese .  Their quirky brand of bass guitar-led funk/thrash hybrid and Les's humorous lyrics had me hooked from then on.  Usually, I reserve my "Dream Concert" features for bucketlist bands that I have never seen but I have not seen Primus since I got the chance to see them at Bogart's in 1999.  So it has been a while.  Well, next week I will get another chance, as they are on tour supporting last year's excellent album Green ...

cold clear brook clean sky above a wanderer in love with this earth this ramshackle cave i live by the sea hung with nets and flowers you see lay down in straw and softest wool ambrosia or nepenthe in amphorae king of ithaca street down on the water prince of the low tide and turtle shell building my boat that never can float and the wind coming in as the seas getting dark a coldness sweeping down from the north a sadness that penetrates the coral and seabirds and sung by the shells down on the shore a feeling of ...

all gold i touch turns to me technique is nothing magic is everything the weather speaks to my bones plummeting free and quite the slipper sun shines from holes in the volcanic black rock what could he grasp at now, old faust ? from undersea springs a devil ugly and stinking of brimstone what have you got left to sell? i have only my life left to sell i’ll take it! i’ll take it…! the penguins dive deep under the floes smooth rubbery killer whales in red water the endless sea snake wrapped the ship in darkness i panic ...

Gave up music to sail the seas

“Champagne” landed on Fiend’s Cookin’ Soul mixtape, which was actually rather splendid. Assisted by Spitta, we not get some visuals of the two prowling the seas on their yacht with some cronies, having an absolutely splendid time. Today, of course,…

The Downtown Struts will be releasing their debut full-length, Victoria! , on May 15, 2012 via Pirate's Press Records . The band will also release a 7" single in advance of the album, on May 1st. The band released their Sail the Seas Dry EP in 2011, which you can stream on their Punknews.org Profile .

The conjoining of the genres 'funk' and 'metal', in this era of pedantic compartmentalisation, is a highly dubious grey area probably best avoided even before Anthony Kiedis' fornication-fixated Californians put paid to any credibility within the depths of that already murky amalgam. Thus for fellow West Coasters Primus – perhaps most famed for the penning of the South Park theme toon – to attempt to affix the ears of the immature and underage to their ageing back catalogue is another pretty tricky one. That Les Claypool et al. thunder through twenty-odd tracks with youthful exuberance and humour to better the blunt obscenities ...

Billed rather formally as ‘An Evening With Primus’ this two-night residency at the poshest of venues is a rather strange move for these cult rock oddities. Then again, Les, Lar and Jay are strange people thus it makes perfect sense in a round about way. In the world of Primus the surreal is real and it’s time to bring Les Claypool’s demented world of fish, war and slap bass back to the capital after last years winning show in Brixton. Tonight promises to be a more fan centred affair with career highlight ‘Sailing The Seas Of Cheese’ and ...

Saxophonist Nikos Koulouris is carving a space in the progressive face of jazz. On the surface, Koulouris' new four-track EP "...Dare to Dream" may be sailing the seas of smooth jazz but artistically he isn't coasting on stylistic clichés here. Koulouris is actually redefining ...

New York Times : Everyone from oldies acts like Frankie Avalon to current artists like R. Kelly and Blake Shelton are taking to the seas. Did the fourth annual New Kids on the Block cruise really sell out in four hours? Of course it did! Can death-metal fans really enjoy Cannibal Corpse and 31 other doom merchants while sailing from Miami to the Grand Caymans? They don’t call it 70,000 Tons of Metal for nothing. Read and comment.

Wrath of the Titans Dir. Jonathan Liebesman [Warner Bros.; 2012] by Alex Peterson Rating: 3D was recently used to awe-inspiring effect in John Carter ( TMT Review ), a movie that both cost a lot more and will make a lot less than Wrath of the Titans . Carter proves that 3D isn’t always a bad idea. In the hands of a good director, it can be inextricably tethered to a good story by giving life, not just flair, to that story’s visuals. Wrath of the Titans director Jonathan Liebesman takes whatever good will John Carter engendered for 3D and runs ...

If you're a visitor of this site, you know how much we enjoy the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruises. The creators of that amazing event are now branching off into a more extreme cruise…the Barge To Hell. The cruise happens December 3rd – 7th on the Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas, the same ship [...]

The Decemberists : The Mariner’s Revenge Song [ purchase ] I wrote previously about seeing Richard Thompson in England with my family. A few years later, we took our second, and to date, last, family European trip to Amsterdam. One of the highlights was seeing The Decemberists at the Paradiso, a legendary club that holds about 1500 people, standing, in a former church. The Stones, U2, Prince, The Police, Bowie and Pink Floyd have all played this relatively small, but wonderful, venue. The Decemberists were a band that we were just getting into. I love them because of the complexity of their ...
