Echos from the other world

Mi-am amintit ca ii vad in some 20+ days... OMGOMGOMGOMG! Desi Klaxons imi par formatia perfecta pentru small venues (and, oh boy, did they rock that venue in Lyon... :D:D:D:D), i'll settle for a small crowd/fest thing this time...

Vin cu completari... pentru cei interesati, desigur....Citeam ca pe setlistul de la gigul din Conventry (a se vedea vidul de mai sus), melodiile noi au fost:

- HOODOO BORER (le place la baieti titlurile dubioase, nu zic nu)
- VALLEY OF THE CALM TREES
- SILVER FOREST
- ECHOS (da, fara e... as in sound... nu ecou...pfffff... )
- VENUS

Deci, poate curand si un albumul ala mult asteptat
....


Vorbeam acum cateva zile cu a good friend, si el fanatic al clacsoanelor. Evident, amandoi cu aceasi problema: impactul muzicii lor asupra publicului romanesc si cati ca noi mai sunt out there. Eu imi pun teeul luat de la concertul din Lyon, cu blugi rosi skinny si bummed converse...el teeu' lui new rave/80ist cel mai probabil...ne tragem outfituri de descreierati. O sa repetam versurile inainte just in case si alte faze. Dar cativa vor mai fi ca noi? Doi, trei?

OMG!OMG!OMG!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Wut? I have to say something intelligent bout it????? NOOOOOO

I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you

I have a new love.... Say hello to the most perfect thing on Earth.... woot....

Also, I have a second new love.... actually, this new love is a duo... from Ohio... and they play psyche-garage-punk... and have a song called 'Poison Ivy's Chamber'. Can you spell 'we love The Cramps and we are not afraid to show it?'. They say they are influenced by 60's Garage/Psyche and by British Mod ... Really now? Like the fuzzy guitars and raw vocals weren't making the exact same statement. You had to voice it as well for us mortals.

The Black Elevators - Poison Ivy's Chamber

Also, their myspazz page features a live fuzzy-wuzzy cover of Bowie's 'Moonage Dream'. This makes me think i'd love to be a rock'n'roll bitch for them.

In the future, when all's well

Dar vai... unde imi e tricoul cu Smiths? (nu de alta, dar n-am cu Moz)

Cu intarziere, avem some juicy news

Cu intarziere, cum suntem obisnuiti... I-auzi, dom'ne, cu cine canta Clacsoanele (not centaurs) la Brit Awards... Cum suntem obisnuiti in urma unei stiri clacsonesti, i'm running around the room, hyperventilating...

Ah, my fave part was this...

"Her people kept sending versions back going 'No, this sounds more like you'.
"It's strange when someone thinks they’re better at being you than you are!"

Mouth of the South....

...or how the sods go wild again

Come on now, baby, come with me

I'm really bored and sleepy so here are some klaxons releted news...

1.Klaxons have been nomintaed for two awards in this years Brit Awards - British Live Act and British Breakthrough Artist.


kinky, innit?


2. *as found in this week's NME*

The four-piece have booked studio time with hip-hop producer Focus (Dr. Dre, Beyonce, Destiny's Child, The Game) and long-time David Bowie producer/friend, Tony Visconti. They will record sessions with Visconti in London in February, then with Focus in March.

The band then head to Italy to record the full album with James Ford, who was at the helm for their Mercury Music Prize winner and NME writers’ album of the year 'Myths Of The Near Future'.

Whatever it ends up sounding like, the band are adamant that their second album will be worlds apart from the debut that tagged them ‘new rave godfathers’.

“I read a gig preview for one of our shows the other day,” said guitarist Simon Taylor, “they were still writing that we were kids in fluorescent clothing playing rave revival music. But this time round the most boring thing we could do is make a similar record [to ‘Myths…’]. We’ve never specifically been about fashion or anything ‘now’. We’re going to make an album that’s relevant to us.”

“We’re proud of how the first album did,” added Taylor, “but it’s not going to be hard to completely blow it out of the water.”

The record is expected to be released in September.

Klaxons were speaking as part of NME's albums of 2008 preview issue which is on UK newsstands now.


why not Dre and Bowie, WHY???... i still wonder...
...

I have some bands I quite like and would like to post some mp3s but I'm too lazy to be bothered. Plus, final exams are on their way... 3... yes, 3 *BIG!grin*

I leave you with this... Enjoy and take notes...

The cheeky bastards from Chanel 4....

*BIG!grin*

oh, and... what? Are they trying to make us forget bright colours? Though, one must admit, their new Cure/Horrors look is well fit (have they been doing too much bum-bum with Horrors?oO)

They Did The Double

"Klaxons have topped the NME writers' end of year polls for both Best Track and Best Album, the first band to ever do the double."

Hm... da, da, mega-uber-uber cool ca they did the double... dar nu-i asa ca e nitel dubioasa expresia?

Besides, cand aud Klaxons urmat "to do" nu ma gandesc la lucruri crestine...

aaaa... era sa uit... hai sa vedeti HOW they did the double

Song With A Mission

I think I am a little frustrated... by everything...
and there are only 2 tracks I find as fit to listen to right now

Patrick Wolf - Overture
The Cooper Temple Clause - Head

in other news... Klaxons (well, at least Simon) have a blog... *shinny eyes*

Update: 3 songs... Klaxons' version of The Night just got on the list

and to continue with the 80s revivalists... I bring to you The Swan, Steffan of Klaxons....

Is that a balloon sticking outta Jamie's arse?

I have a bag full of goodies... here they are...

Klaxons - Golden Skans (Glastonbury 2007)


Klaxons - Atlantis To Interzone (Glastonbury 2007)

They come in pairs....

While Klaxons are ploting a new album and Strokes are.. well, I don't know what they're doing... anyway... they're both taking out new vids... Klaxons for their new single "It's Not Over Yet" (the single includes as bsides the justin timberlake 'My Love' cover on cd and a new song 'The Night' on 7" vinyl...) and Strokes a new version for "You Only Live Once"...

Strokes - You Only Live Once




Klaxons - It's not Over Yet

You don't have a bedroom, you live on a bus

*smilling like a total idiot*

Tasty

Picture moment... because they are so cute in their white thights and all new rave... Now they're just popping pills and Simon's being a twat and saying bad things about new rave...which is all Lovefoxx's fault, I am sure... I say 'Hang her!'... and i am one of those people who really likes lovefoxx... but, as i said... for Klaxons i'd do anything....

Millennium Peolpe

o.O...dude...7.5/10..that is massive...considering the people who recced it...anyways, a vid is required... here it is...

What Carrie Did...

Aren't they adorable?...with their shades and supposed hangover....*dreamy*

Something fun...

Hey, Steve...hope you like this....

Do what you will

A Poem

Oh,Simon if you cut your hair

It'll send Christina to despair

Simon Taylor Davies

Katie wants to have your babies

That black mess on top of your head

Leaves some girls dead

Simon Taylor-Davies

I love your guitar abilities

It seems like you're always smoking cigarettes

I love when you preform it seems as if you have tourettes

Your hair reminds me of Donlad King

Do you by any chance swing

You have the best shoes

You are this poets muse

I love how you sit in a girly way

I'll be very sad the day your hair turns gray

You have a lovely blue guitar

Some people might find you crazy or bizarre

You're the best back up singer I've ever heard

You are the klaxon to be preferred

Horses might find that ther wings are damaged,water damaged

But don't worry you're still handsome,how have you managed?

Simon is a klaxons not centaur!

I'm sure you would make an outstanding mentor

Watching interviews with you in them are the best

I swear i'm not obsessed
