This Is The End, I'll Take A Bow

Deh, m-am pastrat... Click Click Click

Golden Skanks

Au fost niste scumpi si fara gig. Thanks, guys! Poate un gig Klaxons next year cand bagati turneu cu yr new album.

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

Hush, hush, my love

Daca Pete o face, o face si Carl. Sau invers...given the fact that Carl was the one who first annouced the free download. Pete l-a pus direct. Si dupa ce a anuntat Carl. Da, ladies and gents... Dirty Pretty Things....aka formatia aia nu foarte diferita de Libertines dar care ne place oricum... si-au lansat single pe net. Free download...

si simt ca in sfarsit Carl a reusit sa treaca peste Libertines...

Dirty Pretty Things - Hippy's Son

De asemenea, citeam o stire de prin februarie bout The Chavs ( aka formatia aia din care fac parte Carl, Jamie si Steff de la Klaxons si Tim Burgess) si cica ar scoate album la sfarsitul anului... Dar vai... asta inseamna ca o sa avem album Klaxonesque before November?

Stop me if you've seen this one before

oh, dear...

Don't stand under THAT umbrella...

Sincer, sunt dezamagita... Great laser show, but that was the only Klaxons part in it... They basically ended up being the back-up band.



Later edit: also, Klaxons lost to Take That (Live Act) and Mika (Breakthrough Act)..mdea...ah, si Jamie e my favourite wozzy-fuzzy creature. Ever.

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...

With a fist and a fall we meet with the floor

Znovurile circula de mult pe The Horum, dar de, lenea e mare in noi... Acum, ca Horrors ne-au promis album noi in Martie al acestui an, stim... Ce e mai gigea (&cute&cuddly&whatever) e faptul ca primul single ar putea fi...erm... o melodie pe care nu o stim (inca) sau un cover dupa minunatia asta...

Suicide -Dance

..ah, si eu inca vreau acel cover facut de Horrors dupa "No Love Lost"... imi vand plamanii pentru el... stiu ca fumez, dar asta e irelevant

----

In other news(for me)... Faris e producatorul noului ep Hatcham Social.. care va iesi la data de...*googles* 17 februarie.. parca ar conta... oricum, aici, in Romania ne doare fix in paispe de datele de lansare a variilor epuri si albume... tot nu le luam originale...

Buuuun.. tot nu m-am prins cine le produce the sophomore album astora de la Horrors si ma roada... sincer, vreau si nu vreau James Ford (cum se zvonea).. I mean, brilliant producer... but let's look at the facts: i-a corupt si pe Arctic Monkeys cu nu-raveu' (those beats..)... nu vreau niste orori nurave...

Ah, si ca tot vorbeam de nurave... De ce sophomoreu' Klaxons e produs de producatorul lui Bowie, Tony Visconti, and not Bowie himself ma depaseste...

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

Klaxons variety hour

Nu Diggity

The Way To Mother Blog

Simon amazed us with this little shiny thing and now we find James is quite familiar with blogging... yes, Klaxons variety hour time.

Oh, heard Simon and Lovefoxx got engaged and plan to have new-rave babies... Annoyingly adorable, reckon?

Hou ciute....

Seems like we have the Mercury this year... *big grin*... Where me glowsticks at???

Later edit: And I guess this is a very nice photo...

Time for Klaxons pictures now....

And this one of James is just funny... Chocolate! My precious!!!!!
