10th anniversary moment of occasion


"shaped like hands"
by unkle stiltskin

lines in the sand
shaped like hands
to lift us up
on our broken legs
but it's not enough
and we lose our heads
dropped from the sky
it burned our eyes
made us think for ourselves at last
and take some steps
to put a knife in the past
need to change where we're going
and to drop the stones we're throwing
and move out of the world and watch the glass house crumble
and what remains
is the stuff that sticks around and dirties haloes
stopped to watch the rain
but we fell asleep and woke up near the window
i won't complain
we press our tongues to the pane
we laugh at the ones on the train
we beat them at their own game
headache, sunburn, nosebleed, your turn
tongue tied, shut down
yeah, there's enough to go around
so then, good luck
please don't give up
build them, burn them
and press them into little squares
as the world turned, we were dreaming about our brains
and how they made us think and twitch and look away
so we stepped back into the shoes we wore that day
and find we're better off now, no matter what they say
look into through window
of a pale run down car
with the wind in my eyes, there is a burn on my cheek
and a package in my arms
the world looks pretty blurry
my eyes are tired these days
the sun looks like butter on an infinite plane
and I wish it would melt away
okay, now


i almost thought it has already been said enough about this formidable usofa artist on our blog surface. fortunately i changed my mind `cause he and his unique music projects let us fall in love time and again. this means ben cooper, ingenius lyrical mastermind of `radical face`.

this time we`ll try to convince any music beloved souls by naming another earlier band he`s involved in, which answers to the name of `unkle stiltskin` and was formed about ten years ago in 2002. insofar to commemorate an 10th anniversary moment of occasion here`s an immense track with even more immense heart shapely like hands. shake on it!

right from the retirement home from portland

grandparents from portland have recently released their ep "fumes" which you can fully stream and after that buy via bandcamp. their sound could be probably best described as experimental folk rock. the last song of the ep, "golden isles", is a groovy shiny folk rock song, consisting of many different influences. hence it sounded quite familiar to me. so nothing new, but who says that it always has to be new to be good?

frankie doesn`t tread on me - far from it!

frankie rose and the outs

"candy"
"know me"
"don't tread"
"soma" (the strokes cover)
"blue flower" (mazzy star cover)

pay attention music lovers!
fran­kie rose has already been run into music ears perhaps. as an artists from new york city`s trendy neighborhood she`s been on the go for sure. once she operated drums in bands like vivian girls and crystal stilts, as well she`s still involved with the dum dum girls. furthermore she has apparently spun her wheels to reinterpret some older classy song pearls without effort. bravo!

but now she`s going on her own path and and set up a new additional project simply named by herself and her musical followers `frankie rose and the outs`. dozens of disturbing surf-guitars, twang and reverb‐​sound esthetic, too. at all times drawing a bow from slobbery to tartly. charismatic! that certain indefinable something urban-attitude! such as brooklyn itself...

clap your hands and say yeah! or just let the cool goddess rust away...

clap your hands say yeah
each time i`ve been hearing arcade fire`s `funeral` golden pearl "rebellion lies" i agonized what song has to follow fittingly afterwards to catch this kind of unforgetable touching beveled spirit. the more i think about it the more a come to the conclusion that one consitently way of change over could work congenial. especially to keep on holding the level of a latent kittenish crankiness driven in its own bluntly soundscapes.

there is talk of an impulsive distinctive anno 2005 debuting indiepop once again from new york`s creative smithy brooklyn in connection with philadelphia around mastermind alec ounsworth. this might fix it together like two brothers in mind. clap your hands and say yeah or just "let the cool goddess rust away"!

end times.the beginning - ko.ok!

she put on her party dress
i put on my jacket and walked out the door
didn’t have nowhere to go
didn’t matter that the night was getting cold
pulled her closer to me
to keep her warm
and everything was beautiful and free
in the beginning

she woke up late in the morning
i pulled the curtain back
the sun came pouring in
there was no one in the world
there was nothing else just me and my girl
she put her arms around me
gave me a kiss
and everything was beautiful and free
in the beginning


from end times to a keen and adequate beginning 2012 or "the beginning" from `end times`.

i`ve already known eels` music. with mark oliver everett`s book `glückstage in der hölle` i apprehend that gifted us-ami lateral thinker. oh by the way most of his life mr E has been faced a serious loss of familial mortality rate. alone therefore and how he found ways of doing deal with tragedies as a human as well as an artist it`s extreme worth reading. you have to put a calamity to flight. with aspiration, artifice and humor as E did. a beautiful freak! tocotronic, a four-piece band from hamburg can even tell you a thing or two about it. truly !
