from russia with love!


some post-punk driven shoegazepop mélange. occasionally many a time in the vein of joy division. to lay it on the line with ancient meaningful title tracking lyrics of movie history in 1963: from russia with love!

video of the week

`marching bands of manhattan`


if i could open my arms
and span the length of the isle of manhattan
i'd bring it to where you are
making a lake of the east river and hudson
if i could open my mouth
wide enough for a marching band to march out
they would make your name sing
and bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings...

surely everyone knows this. but it`s time to commemorate things again. the point of no return slowly rises into 3:13 then your love is gonna drown!!

giants to the core in singapore!

`we looked like giants`

WOW!
this sends nonstop pleasant showers down the spine! maybe death cab`s stage performance of lifetime! absolutely nothing has ever been experienced a higher energy level than `giants` below. maybe `transatlanticism` seems brilliant on stage, but nevertheless this unique rearranged monster is sounding like an epical revelation among its violative tough exterior. it`s all about the tiny details indeed...

an at the begining of march 2012 rearranged
instrumental interlude part on its own means a stand-out music art beyond doubt (they already did an extended version many times before but never ever in such an expressive way i`m thinking of this band - maybe just as unique rarity for those people in asia-pacific region). without interruption walla`s guitar weeps more ostensible than ever around the corner and chirrs with ben`s drums racing into an orgiastic drumming staccato at 1:30.

now pay attention! the best part is yet to come. it begins at about 1:52, while ben stands up in front of the crowd and leads himelf into incredible guitar-gazing concentric runout-soundscapes. walla, you lucky bastard! both man play their hearts out by commemorating all levels of their instruments`capacity and immense feedback effects. inconceiveable magical! nearly in some way kind of surreal already... `cause in one`s right mind this performing part actually has to be done by another band but not death cab at all. completely breathtaking and worth to memorable. shoegazing at its best. and indeed death cab were on stage and not an image of some kind of japanese genre-pioneers. for sure the best death cab soul-crushing live moment i`ve ever keep in mind so far. beyond any price. it finally sunk in again, hias! dcfc thrilled like they never did before...




music friends! here along the first minutes including ben leads himself into their new arranged instrumental break! he seems so deeply intrinsic soul-recovered again and in bloody brilliant emotional-aggressive mood. till the end you can hear walla`s creative genius as told above. so turn your fuckin´ volume up once more!

this is fact not fiction...

`a lack of colour`


for the first time since years...

godness gracious me! those crystal-clear crazy moments - even thousands of miles far away from home - have nearly been fallen in oblivion! finally on transatlanticism however when it comes down to it anywhere amid transpacificism at the philippines by starting a thriller in manila once more...

music lovers and whatnot! bandscheibenrecords throws two downright adorable cover versions in. the first an awesome acoustic one, the second a fuckin` addictive electric-stripped-down rarity to download. well if nothing else...

it`s meaple-leaf-land on easter weekend


people behind halifax don`t be scared, the canadian flood came in again... can you hear it already humming?

nevertheless in anticipation of their hopefully brilliant forthcoming new lp `hello hum` the canadian-based combo wintersleep has dispatched two more than captivating forerunners (`resuscitate` actually as download below). catchy tunes as usual from maple-leaf-land!
