Husbands and Wife duos

After the excellent Daedelus show on Sunday we met up with him after and walked him up to his hotel. We had an excellent chat. He told us about his Wife and how she was a talented musician herself. Apparently it's her voice that appears all over the new Flying Lotus record. Anyway daedelus and his wife Laura have a project called The Long Lost. They've got their first single out soon and a US tour in the pipeline.

This got me thinking about another Husband and Wife duo. Lullatone. If you didn't know Lullatone are a duo from Nagoya Japan who make sweet, cute pop songs. They use lots of kids instruments and record alot of the noises you hear around their house.

Lullatone do music for Japanese TV shows, art exhibitions and jingles for the radio. I think I'll buy the new album they have out when I can afford to start spending instead of constant saving.

I wonder how stressful their homelife is.

Some news

A few new things have came up recently. I think 'm going to be organising a Wednesday night club night in the flying duck. I'll be doing this with my mate Jinty. It might be called Hairy Bones but I'm not sure yet. I think it'll be mainly a breakcore and experimental electronic night. I hope this works out as we've been wanting to do it for a while. Two days after being offered a slot in the duck, Stevie who puts on the Rug Cutting nights asked me if I wanted to do a night with him. I couldn't resit. As far as I know we're going to be doing a regular night at the start of the month from february. Stevie emailed 13th note today to block book our slot. Even though it seems like a long way away it'll give us time to promote it loads and to figure out who we're putting on.

Anyway stay tuned for details.

Daedelus

I think tonight we're going to see a dude called Daedelus. I just learned about his music today, he's pretty awesome and seems like a nice guy. Here's a video of him on xlr8r.



His live sets look amazing too.



I think if you have not much on tonight use should all come to captains rest for this, it's probably only about £6

Breakcore

If you've ever met me in real life then you would have most probably met my mate Jinty. Even if you've only met him once you'll probably find out that he loves breakcore music. This usually comes about when people ask the question "what music do you like". As alot of people don't know what breakcore is, he usually has to explain the whole genre to them and explain what the amen break is. He was the one that introduced me to the genre and told me about this short film called "Notes on Breakcore". This film will give alot of people a better understanding of breakcore and an introduction to alot of the big artists in the scene. I just got round to watching this today and it's such a rad video.







You should check out Jinty's breakcore project Gatr too.

Check this lightshow

Such a busy day today, no time for interneting or social networking, but if you know who done that lightshow thing I posted above get back to me.

I really have a thing for reading and watching things about american hardcore punk now, so if you know of anything good realting to this tell me about it. There's some scary dudes in this film and good quotes.

No More spending

If you read the calender post that I did a few days ago you'd realise that I've got quite alot on in the coming months. Most of the things I plan to do will cost alot of money, so therefor I can't really afford to be buying things like records, T shirts, cinema tickets, nice meals out and prints for my room. I just can't seem to stop myself though. I've been spending far too much money. Today though I'm glad I spent money on an EP titled "Red State" by Gowns.



It's members of Amps for Christ and Mae Shi doing this beautiful, smart, noise thing, fused with pop to create something that I think on their own both bands couldn't achieve.

This is the tracklisting:

1. Fargo
2. Rope
3. Fake July
4. White Like Heaven
5. When It Burned
6. Subside
7. Clawless
8. Mercy Springs
9. Advice
10. Cherylee





This is what the band have to say about themselves.

Erika (ex Amps for Christ): I think the music we play is psychedelic in an over-the-counter type of way. Realistic. Fucked-up prosaic. Not the perfect LSD trip but maybe like ODing on sleeping pills or huffing gasoline out of a paper bag. Cool visuals but also puking on the sidewalk. And real emotive.

Ezra(ex Mae Shi): We are not hyperactive. We are confused. We are rarely clever. We are not loud all the time. We are not all boys. We are upset about certain things and we want to talk about it.

Well that's the last luxury purchase for a while. I need so much though, if anyone wants to do a swap for some stuff I'd be up for that. I need a good winter coat, some rad prints for my room and a new bag.
