Just because we like the album cover in connection with them being residents of West Palm Beach, Florida. And because John Paul Pitts’ oceanic voice. Fits!

Because favourite bands never go out of style!
A little review from last weeks gig is online now.
braindead
Some full moons ago the brain fell into a coma. It was moved to a nicer place where the surroundings are healthier for a musical brain. Now it has come back to life.
And to celebrate this, we are going to see Edwyn Collins do a gig after being through almost exactly the same thing as the brain. He had a stroke, one half of his body was paralised, and the only thing he could remember was his wife’s name. With a lot of help of the latter he made it back to life. He recorded a new album and is on stage again soon. Being very grateful for that, we want to invite you to read Grace Maxwell’s book:
flaws make people beautiful
And that’s why we are looking forward to the new Bombay Bicycle Club album, which is out today. The band would appreciate you buying it from your local independent record store, but here are some other ways of purchasing if you do not have one: Buy Flaws
Darling of the week – No. 28 – St. Vincent
I can see why Paul Smith has a crush on Annie Clark. It’s because of the elf-like face with the voice that gives you goosebumps even with 36°C outside – as seen and felt live yesterday in Dachau.
Happy Birthday Debbie Harry!
I woke up today, put on my Debbie-Shirt, got into my car, turned on the CD-player, and Blondie’s Best Of was playing. One hour later I heard the radio guy say it’s Debbie Harry’s birthday! Coincidence? I don’t think so. Happy Birthday!
Darling of the week – No. 25 – The Stars
The Canadian talent collective The Stars has something new coming up, an album called “The Five Ghosts”, to be collected here.
Well, it was about time…
to all creative minds:
Kashmir want you to be in their new video for “Pursuit of Misery”. All you have to do is take two arrows, hold them up or paint them down and make sure you are somewhere near them when the camera rolls.
To give you inspiration, Kasper explains everything to you in this instructional video.
The rest can be found on Kashmir.nu
Darling of the week – No. 24 – German football world cup team
Yes, they were group-hugging a lot last Sunday. It was the first really exciting game and the best team so far in this world cup. With an end result of 4:0 goals they stomped the Australian guys’ work ethic into the deep grounds of South Africa’s fake grass. That is worth a non-musical darling (Because the Vuvuzela-concert does NOT count as music).
