crap for genius: we have come for light
http://crapforgenius.blogspot.com/2013/03/we-have-come-for-light.html
We have come for light. Hi We're going to play 'Last Splash' for you.". This is what Kim Deal says as she takes the stage of the Bell House in Brookyln last night, as if it's just another gig on just another Friday night. Except, in typical Breeders fashion, it's not. The line up that should not exist - between the drugs and the fights and the alcohol and more drugs and more line up changes and losing touch for decades and whatever else they've been through over the years - except somehow it does. I'm no...

The 'Last Splash'-era Breeders line-up in 2013 is as improbable as sex after marriage. That's how the quote goes, right? Anyways, here we are and here they are, on the final leg of a year-long global tour celebrating an album that clogs up every dollar bin in every remaining record store on said globe. The mere idea would have been absurd just over 12 months ago - frankly, it still kind of is - but if we've learned anything over these past 20 years, it's this: never count Kim Deal out. Da da da da da da ...

And now for a band I don't just like, I love. 2013, the year that keeps on giving, came close to topping even itself last night with the second of two small preview shows for the long-talked-about-and-now-perhaps-actually-happening third Cibo Matto album. Sugar Water". Wasting no time, I see. You almost never seen it mentioned without its wonderful video - see? But it stands on its own as one of the finest singles of the 90's and tonight it is absolutely blissful. Don't tell me: "what the hell? Tenth Flo...

We don't want no gay goth scene in this house. Nine-and-a-half years or so later, The Hidden Cameras are finally ready to unleash "No Gay Goth Scene" - now shortened in title to "Gay Goth Scene" - upon the world. WE DON’T WANT NO GAY GOTH SCENE IN THIS HOUSE. The first glimpse of the new record is in sight. “Gay Goth Scene” - already known to live audiences – will be previewed first as a short film. Toronto fans will get the chance to preview the ne. Well, maybe not. But maybe. They're at least tied.

First of all, I have been waiting YEARS to use that title. La Noux. Perfection. At times, I honestly thought this pop moment would never come. And then, the reason we're all here: there's a new La Roux single to talk about. So, the artwork. To the left? Amazing. The campaign for the self-titled record had absolutely flawless artwork and said perfection has carried over so far. It's "very much La Roux" without being a straight-up retread. Honestly, I can't imagine it being any more perfect. I was *really*...

The new Depeche Mode single has been out there for about a week now, but today it's "officially" out there for your purchasing dollar. Should you have a need for a rewrite of "Condemnation" but slowed down to half-speed and over-emoted twice has much, then do I have the single for you! On the bright side, if you loved the last two Depeche Mode albums, this is going to be right up your alley. This is garbage. Hang it up, boys. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

crap for genius: fantastic
http://crapforgenius.blogspot.com/2009/02/fantastic.html
I know I'm late to the game, but I'm all about La Roux at the moment. New single 'In For The Kill' is a bit OTT, she howls more than sings the lyrics and there's a lot going on all at once that makes it a but sensory overload - and it's all the more fantastic for it. Anyways, according to recordstore.co.uk. It is going to be released on a 2-track CD [yawn.] and - wait for a it - a shaped picture disc 12". It's 1985 all over again, and I fucking love it.

2013 in 10 albums, 10-ish songs and a handful of reissues. 2013 What a year, right? It kind of petered out towards the middle before kicking back into high gear during the final six weeks or so, there were far too many blockbuster albums that YOU MUST HEAR RIGHT NOW that weren't actually all that good, and it did bring us that fucking Daft Punk song, but overall it was pretty solid. But there was new music, too. Here are ten albums that tickled my fancy during the past twelve months. This is kind of chea...
