Portishead is back...

just red these great news; one of my ever favourite band is returning on tour. wwwooowww!!!
would be great to make it, to one of their concerts. check out the article below and enjoy my ever favourite song from portishead.
in memories of t.




The band head stateside to try their luck once again

26/09/2011 - Adrian Larkin

Portishead are braving the US for their first tour in the country since 1998, a jaunt which saw the band taking an extended break from recording.

The 10-city run comes three years after the release of 2008's album, Third. Their only performance in the country since then was at Coachella festival in LA and Geoff Barrow explained why they'd taken some time out: "On our last tour it collapsed because of personal things, not between the band, but relationships, divorces - we hadn't stopped since Dummy."

wuuuuuuhuuuu one of my most favourite songs ever! old but so beautiful.

Spotify has landed in the U.S.




Ok, Spotify hit the US. Finally? After three years of test marketing in Europe... I have been using it for about three years (right after it was launched) FOR FREE and was really happy with the free account until Spotify decided to change their rules in the beginning of May 2011 and killed the free version in such a sneaky way.
"The changes are mainly that you're able to listen to any track in the catalogue a total of 5 times with a monthly limitation on the service at 10 hours of streaming. In essence, this will keep the service free for those who want to search for new music in the future as well, but will pretty much disable the possibility to take full advantage of the service in a free way." (www.arcticstartup.com)
I was still pretty sure to get the premium account anyways, but when I launched the "new Spotify" it started to sync or suck ALL music files from my hard drive to the damn Spotify library, crashed my iTunes, Spotify and a pretty important presentation I was working on. So as you can imagine, I was not really pleased. In fact I was totally pissed off. I immediately switched to Grooveshark, also because it is more international meaning people outta Europe have the same access, users do not need fancy invites, I did not get the feeling to kill "Tom from Spotify" (Europeans know what I am talking about...) and so on.
I know Spotify will be a huge success in the US and will basically kill iTunes, all other old skool music apps and is going to be the market leader in music streaming. I wish them the best of luck and maybe, maybe I will get back to it if grooveshark does not make it's way through their legal issues. Also it would be very nice to have some international pricing for spotifiy. There is kind of a difference between 10$, 10£, or 10€.... All people who are just discovering Spotify. Enjoy!!!!

Zoo Kid - "Out Getting Ribs"

HA0004 - Zoo Kid - "Out Getting Ribs" from House Anxiety on Vimeo.


...even though this is like more than half a year out, I just discovered it via pitchfork and this kid is truly amazing! really looking forward to checking the album <3 ...

"Archy Marshall (born 1994) more commonly known by his stage name Zoo Kid is a British singer, songwriter and musician.
A scholar of the Brit School Zoo Kid released his debut single Out Getting Ribs on House Anxiety records in April 2010. Recorded and mixed in his bedroom with his friends Francis North and Thelonius McCabe, his music has been likened to Morrissey and Edwyn Collins Stylistically he has been described as darkwave, New wave and using dubstep techniques and is inspired by disparate influences such as Gene Vincent, Fela Kuti and The Penguin Cafe Orchestra."

The Voice Project

Recently I found 'The Voice Project' and I am really amazed. Check this out and enjoy: The Voice Project - Broken Social Scene -> Modest Mouse - World at Large

About The Voice Project

'For over two decades war has ravaged Northern Uganda. It is Africa’s longest running conflict and it has spread to Southern Sudan and Eastern Congo. Joseph Kony’s LRA has made abducting children and forcing them to fight his chief weapon of war, even making them kill their friends and family members. Many abductees and former soldiers escape but hide in the bush, afraid to return home because of reprisals for the atrocities they were forced to commit.

The women of Northern Uganda - widows, rape survivors, and former abductees have been banding together in groups to support each other and those orphaned by the war and diseases so prevalent in the IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps. And they are singing songs. The lyrics let the former soldiers know that they are forgiven and that they should come home. The songs are passed by radio and word of mouth out into the bush, as far as the Sudan and DR Congo. And it’s working. Former LRA are returning and for the first time 24 years the region has a chance at real peace.

The Voice Project is an attempt to support these incredible women and the peace movement in Uganda, and an effort to see how far a voice can carry.

How it works
  1. Artists do the cover chain episodes to spread the word (one covers another and so on)
  2. We put the videos up at our site
  3. We use money from donations, sponsors and advertisers to support programs on the ground which aid in the peace, reconciliation and rebuilding efforts.'

"Moon Duo was formed by Ripley Johnson of Wooden Shjips and Sanae Yamada in San Francisco in 2009. Inspired initially by the legendary duo of John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Moon Duo counts such variant groups as Silver Apples, Royal Trux, Moolah, Suicide, and Cluster as touchstones. Utilizing primarily guitar, keyboards, and vocals, the Duo plays space against form to create a primeval sound experience. After a debut 12" single on Sick Thirst, the group released the acclaimed Killing Time EP on Sacred Bones, followed by the Escape LP on Woodsist."

JASON FORREST
The Everything | LABEL: Staatsakt | Label: Rough Trade | Release: 15.04.2011


Jason Forrest is an electronic music producer known for noisy experimental electronica and breakcore incorporating many ideas of mash-up and rock and roll. Largely produced and performed on a single computer (including live shows), his songs tend to be constructed from digital samples of found sounds and other artists' music. Until 2004 he recorded under the name Donna Summer, an allusion to disco singer Donna Summer.

In 2005 RES magazine named Forrest's "Steppin Off" video, by director Jon Watts, music video of the year. In 2006 Res magazine named Forrest's video "War Photographer", directed by Joel Trussell video of the year, and online magazine Pitchfork Media also named it in their top 5 videos of the year.[1] Both videos have won several awards at various international film and video festivals and have both been widely viewed, downloaded and acclaimed.

Forrest has released on many labels, but primarily on Köln Germany's Sonig record label. He also has releases on Irritant records (UK), Omeko (JP), MeWe le Disque (BE), Mirex (DE), Broklyn Beats (USA), and Hoss (USA).

Ticketfly has an interesting origin story, the company’s co-founders sold their first startup, TicketWeb to industry leader Ticketmaster for $35 million in 2000 and then left that company in 2008 to form Ticketfly.

GO - Santigold (feat. Karen O)

http://lifeandtimes.com/american-dreaming

"It's been a while since we've heard any new music from Santigold, but Jay-Z's new lifestyle website Life + Times just posted the apocalyptic, synth-based new track "Go", which features an assist from Yeah Yeah Yeahs leader Karen O. In an interview with the website about the track, Santigold also mentions Q-Tip, who may have produced the track. Stream the song and read the interview over at Life + Times."

Against me! AND The Gaslight Anthem

last morning whilst going to university I was wondering what is cooler? - 'against me!' or 'the gaslight anthem', both just made my day without even having a coffee.
I think both bands are just awesome. 'against me!... aaahhhh luv....' is very punkish and 'the gaslight anthem' more folk-punkish.
here are MakroSounds favourites.
vote above, who's better?
and check out these two kickass songs. good night

Against me! -Cliche Guevara
