Stars in Coma and the Clouds

First time I heard about Stars in Coma was in a room of a girl (“Hic!”). She told me with starry eyes on her vault about this boy from Sweden sharing his fantastic and artistic view of the World through his music from a lonely room. I was deep in my Cloudberry period, and I didn’t take much to appreciate the music from Andrè Brorsson thanks their nice release and the “official collection” “You’re Still Frozen in Time” by Plastilina Records.

At least… a Podcast!!

Still really really buisy this days. I just found the time to catch up with a PodCast and give in to share some music with you. And beside a preview from Tiny Tide next next album… it’s even old music! :) I found an old mixtape of mine called “Doll Revolution”, found the digital version of some of those tracks, and put them in my last podcast.  (more…)

Let me impress you

I have to admit that things are kinda becoming hart to catch up to in order to be updated after my IndieTracks experience. Add the fact I’m on vacation right now, and I need my extra time to work on some musical projects, and here you’ll find the explanations on my delays. And I’m not only talking about SleePosts!

There are fuckload of interviews and stuff awaiting to be checked and review laying in my mailbox! So, not to be on the top list of the people you hate but somewhere not quite defined on your personal pole position, I managed somehow not to delay the weekly podcast, that is always a pleasure to share with my readers. Here’s we go! (more…)

Indietracks 2010 (Pt.3)

Last day at Indietracks was the day of the real discoveries. At least for me. Many people where completely spellbound by the performance of The Cavalcade at the Church Stage. Class, elegance, bits of dream pop, the duo forced me to change my mind on how’s possible to impress people in a live show with just a keyboard and guitars. Those who regret that The Pains of Being Pure At Heart where picked instead of Belle & Sebastian found in the class and elegance of The Cavalcade their little sugar cube. (more…)

Indietracks 2010 (Pt.2)

Life used to begin quite late in the Midlands. Like any other artist we learnt to go to sleep late and wake up around 11:00 o’Clock in the morning, just in time for brinner. Cheese cakes, tones of tea and capuccino, frozen sandwich and we were ready to go. Even if the train to Indietracks location was broken and we had to adventure in the fields just like the kids in “Stand by me” or “Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold”. But we were there in the end. (more…)

Indietracks 2010 (Pt.1)

Indietracks it’s a lot more than a festival. IndieTracks is Woodstock without sex, drugs and – fortunately – no mud. At least for this year’s edition! THE festival is a lot more of the simple sum of the whole bands that were in it (the lucky blue bracelet ones). The festival equals the real experience to live, at least if you’re ok with twee music and the idea that nativity and art still deserves a place between the rock and the roll. (more…)

Partybenders

Some months ago, I think it was winter since I felt really melancholic and I didn’t sweat, I was quite intrigued by a band called The Morning Benders. Gee. It HAD to bee winter, possibly autumn, since the only thing I remembered reading that name on Hana-Bi calendar was that I knew I liked them, still I had no idea ’bout who they were anymore. (more…)

The Radio Eggs

Summer, Shibuiya, Electropop… my Momumania goin’ on, but above all… a lot of “Lovely Eggs”! … and some interesting collateral connections.

To be served with some salads and a tasty glass of orange juice :)
