So siked that they’re playing at Incubate 2011!
(Thanks guys at Incubate and thanks E10 for reminding me this one)

Single Collection, Part I: Paul Hardcastle - 19
In my youth I used to have quite a collection of ’singles’. For the younger folks: singles are little 7″ vinyl discs that rotate 45 times per minute.
At that time I also developed an addiction to sloth machines (this one to be more precise). That addiction cost me my collection. I practically sold them all to a second hand store in our town to feed my addiction. Big shame on me.
But thanks to internet I now can get some of it back. I’m going to try and find them and restore the collection I once had.
First up is Paul Hardcastle with 19. A track with samples from a documentary about traumatized Vietnam veterans. Still rocks I think!

Moderat and Hercules & Love Affair @ Iceland Airwaves
Footage that misses Kobayashi took of Moderat and Hercules & Love Affair @ Iceland Airwaves last month.
Let’s be honest, we were all a little bit in love with little Kim Ann Foxman, one of the singers in Hercules and Love Affair. An A-class cutie with a golden voice.

R.I.P. Technics 1200
My oh my. It’s official. Panasonic confirmed what has been a rumor for a while: they’re stopping the production of the iconic Technics 1200 vinyl turntable.
Sad sad sad news. Read the full story here.
But I’m damn happy I own two! They’re like gold, I love them and they’ll never get old. Bought them 15 years ago and I’m pretty sure they will stand close to me for at least another 15 years.

James Blake - Limit to your Love
This is a beautiful Feist cover and a wonderful clip by 22 year old talent James Blake.
Too bad we missed him on Iceland Arirwaves.

flush me
In high school I received a B in ceramics. Something about my glaze not looking correct. Twice. Although, I did make a pretty cool rattle that she put in the display case. That B still haunts me = clay intrigues me. A medium that, by all conventional grading systems, I simply haven’t mastered. Watch this video and you’ll understand.

Iceland Love
You know sometimes when you get back home from something that was so good, you feel all nostalgic and you so want to go back and all that sort of things. You might even consider living there. I have that feeling now.
That dude in the clip describes it perfectly, Iceland (Airwaves) and its people are just special. You gotta go see it.
We saw some great shows again this year, to name a few: Hercules and Love affair, Moderat, Mount Kimbie, Everything Everything, Gablé, Efterklang , Junnip and the list goes on and on.

Best Track ever, part 28: Die You Fuck
I am so fixated by this track at the moment that I just have to call it my new best track ever. Not that I’m feeling like killing somebody, but it gives me that ‘healthy aggression’, one needs once in a while.
Die You Fuck by Brainbombs, Swedish punkrockers from the eighties, although it really sounds like it could be be made tomorrow.
Btw, the guy on the cover is Ed Gein, a not so friendly man, although huge inspiration for a lot of movie directors.

Archie’s Classic Re-Posts, Part 1: Melbourne Sharpies
This is one of the most intriguing videos I have seen on the youtube so far. A rare film about a lost subculture called Sharpies. Being a Sharpie meant that you had a status between being a skinhead and a rock & roll fan, if I’m correct. It is intriguing to me because I see much of my youth in it. The film is shot in 1974, I was 1 at that time, but some years later, while being a teenager, me and my friends had also serious mullets. So the faces and vibe in this clip remind me somehow vividly of home. Tough and violent but at the same time very safe and peaceful in a way, like some sort of mullet-utopia.
Man, just look again: the shoes at 0:20, the guy at 1:15 or that odd dancing at 2:25…
Who cut yer hair? Grant.

Who cut yer hair? Grant.Totally brilliant combined with the music of Lobby Lloyd.
Note: The Sharp with the mohawk on 2:17 minutes, commented on our post.

“The hippest long weekend on the annual music-festival calendar”
That’s what David Frickle from Rolling Stone has to say about Iceland Airwaves. And it wouldn’t be hip without the Archibald Kobayashi crew you know… so vulcano’s and geysers, here were we come once more! Can’t wait to dive into the blue lagoon again…
Anyone feel like joining? Still some tickets left.

OK Go!
The first 2 seasons of Weeds and the first 2 albums of Weezer have one thing in common: they were great. Then, as the old saying goes, “they went down the tubes.” And now we are left with a washed up and hollow version of what Rivers Cuomo used to be. The point of this (aside from me getting some of my pent-up 15 year old Rivers revenge out of the way) is to say that unlike Weezer, OK Go wants to actually keep succeeding (with their original fan-base). Plus they are creative and don’t need Harvard to prove it. I didn’t think they would be able to top their last few videos but alas, the newest one, “White Knuckles,” reminds me that not everyone fades away with a song about Pork and Beans.
