Winter's Bone (2010)

Winter's Bone (Debra Granik,2010)



Cista Americana...














With an absent father and a withdrawn and depressed mother, 17 year-old Ree Dolly keeps her family together in a dirt poor rural area. She's taken aback however when the local Sheriff tells her that her father put up their house as collateral for his bail and unless he shows up for his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. She knows her father is involved in the local drug trade and manufactures crystal meth but anywhere she goes the message is the same: stay out of it and stop poking your nose in other people's business. She refuses to listen, even after her father's brother, Teardrop, tells her he's probably been killed. She pushes on, putting her own life in danger, for the sake of her family until the truth, or enough of it, is revealed.

I'm Still Here (2010)

I'm Still Here (Casey Affleck,2010)

In 2008 while rehearsing for a charity event, actor Joaquin Phoenix, with Casey Affleck's camera watching, tells people he's quitting to pursue a career in rap music. Over the next year, we watch the actor write, rehearse, and, a couple of times, perform to an audience. He importunes Sean Combs in hopes he'll produce the record. We see the foul-mouthed actor in his nearly-bare home: he parties, smokes, bawls out his two-man entourage, talks philosophy with Affleck, and comments on celebrity and failure. Early in 2009, increasingly bloated, bearded and unkempt, Phoenix makes a monosyllabic appearance on Letterman. His persona becomes a Hollywood joke. Who's still here?

Seabear- We Built a Fire(2010)

Although initially the solo project of Sindri Már Sigfússon, Seabear had morphed into a seven-piece band by 2007, when the group made its full-length debut with Ghost That Carried Us Away. Sigfússon filled his lineup with a number of fellow Icelandic songwriters -- Gudbjörg Hlin Gudmundsdottir, Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, Halldór Ragnarsson, Örn Ingi Ágústsson, Kjartan Bragi Bjarnason, and Sóley Stefánsdóttir -- and the group’s hushed, folksy music began finding an international audience in 2008, when the song “Cat Piano” was featured in an episode of Gossip Girl. Although Sigfússon also devoted time to his own solo work (which he released under the alias Sin Fang Bous), Seabear continued gathering momentum during the following years, and 2010 found the group launching its first American tour and releasing its second album, We Built a Fire.

The Greenhornes – “****” (2010)

The Greenhornes – “****” (2010)

 

Cincinnati garage blues trio the Greenhornes used to be a full-time gig, but bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler have spent the past few years as Jack White’s go-to rhythm section. They both played in Loretta Lynn’s backing band on the 2004 album Van Lear Rose, and are members of the Raconteurs; Lawrence also belongs to the Dead Weather. Now, Lawrence and Keeler have reunited with their former frontman, Craig Fox, and in October, the Greenhornes will release the new album, Four Stars.

Los muertos (2004)

Los Muertos
Lisandro Alonso, 2004.

Vargas, a 54 year old man, gets out of jail in the prvince of Corrientes, Argentina. Once released, he wants to find his now adult daughter, who lives in a swampy and remote area. To get there, he must cross great distances in a small boat on the rivers, scoring deep into the jungle. Vargas is a quiet and self-contained man. He possesses the restraint of those living close to nature. A deep mystery surrounds him, the people he encounters and the places he goes through, all that taking in the unalterable world he finds almost unchanged after his long years of incarceration

Vagabond ( 1985) Sans Toit Ni Loi

Vagabond, directed by Agnes Varda is the dark disturbing story of a female drifter named Mona (Sandrine Bonnaire). The film opens as Mona's frozen body is found in a drainage ditch and proceeds to tell her story in a series of flashbacks and semi-documentary style "interviews" with the people who have known Mona during the last few weeks of her life. Mona is a distant, independent and not-very-likeable woman who goes from place to place, living where she can and with anyone who will take her in. Mona's true nature remains a puzzle, both to those who thought they knew her, and to the audience. As the movie progresses it becomes clear that no one knew the true Mona and she, because of her aloofness and essential coldness, provided a canvas for those she met to write upon. Who Mona really was, and what she thought remains ambiguous. Sandrine Bonnaire is excellent as Mona, making an unappealing and cold character interesting and intriguing. Director Agnes Varda began her career as a still photographer. This beginning is evident in her elegant framing of the film. She has an instinctive awareness of and a photographer's eye for visual detail which makes the film cold, bleak, and aridly beautiful. Internationally acclaimed, Vagabond is Varda's most successful film.

Loch Lomond – Little Me Will Start A Storm (2011)

The autumnal tones of Loch Lomond are haunted by their birthplace in a tumbledown basement, as singer/songwriter Ritchie Young's bittersweet lyrics soothe picturesque songs of love, reminiscing, and fate. The Portland, OR, group was completed in 2003 when Young's longtime friend Rob Oberdorfer (the Standard) joined him for what turned into a yearlong collaboration. With Young on guitars and mandolin and Oberdorfer on drums, Loch Lomond host a revolving cast of musicians including Kate O'Brien (violin), Jay Clarke (bass/accordion), Katie Schnepp (viola), and Peter Broderick (saw/slide guitar). When We Were Mountains marked the band's debut release for In Music We Trust in 2004. A split 12" with their pals Hurtbird followed on High Karate a year later. While writing and recording their second offering in mid-2006, Loch Lomond played shows with the likes of Horse Feathers, Nina Nastasia, and Molly Rose.
The album was mixed by Adam Selzer (who has recorded all of M Ward’s records), Tucker Martine (Laura Veirs, The Decemberists), and Kevin Robinson (of Viva Voce).

The Green Butchers (2003)

The Green Butchers (2003)
De grønne slagtere

Svend and Bjarne work for a butcher in a small Danish town. Fed up with their boss' arrogance, they decide to start their own butcher shop. After dismal beginnings, an unfortunate accident happens which coincides with a large order of meat. One hasty decision leads to another and soon the business thrives. In the meantime, Bjarne has to deal with his twin brother who has been in coma for years following a gruesome car accident. 

Brave Timbers - For Every Day You Lost (2010)

Brave Timbers - For Every Day You Lost (2010)


















Brave Timbers is the performing and recording alias of multi-instrumentalist Sarah Kemp. Having already worked with the likes of The Declining Winter and Fieldhead, this solo debut from Sarah sees her combine violin, tenor guitar and piano to create 11 contemporary classical compositions which in their entirety will also hold their own amongst the canons of great acoustic folk recordings.

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1973)

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is a 1973 documentary and concert movie by D.A. Pennebaker. It features David Bowie and his backing group The Spiders from Mars performing at the Hammersmith Odeon, July 3, 1973. The DVD release was later retitled Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture

Pennebaker had been asked to come to London and film just a few songs but when he saw the first of the two London shows he realized that "there was a full-length film here asking to be made". Though he had only scant knowledge of Bowie's music, apart from Space Oddity, he was impressed by the star's onstage charisma and the range of his songs and quickly prepared to shoot the entire second gig, without knowing that it would include a dramatic final coup.^[1] Jeff Beck participated on three songs (two of them forming a medley) midway through the concert but was edited out from the final cut at his own wish.^[2] The expanded version of "The Width of a Circle" was shortened by a few minutes for the soundtrack on vinyl and CD.

Callers – Life of Love (2010)

Brooklyn trio Callers are excited to announce the release of their sophomore album, Life of Love, this week on Western Vinyl (Dirty Projectors, Here We Go Magic, Balmorhea), and are offering a new single, “How You Hold Your Arms” for mp3 download. Life of Love combines the compositional forms of jazz and post-punk, while bringing a sense of soulful and melodic expression to the table.
The initial idea that inspired the making of Life of Love was a cover of Wire’s “Heartbeat” (premiered by Yours Tru.ly) in the hopes of creating something simple and cathartic. Recorded at the historic Seizure’s Palace (Sonic Youth, Herbie Hancock, Devendra Banhart, John Zorn) in Gowanus, Brooklyn, the album was recorded on borrowed amps and played on busted gear you’d find in a Midwest high school gospel choir performance.
“…effortless from start to finish, and is only made more complex and appealing given the diversity of its songs.” – NPR
“Records like Life of Love are rare. There are a lot of bands and singers who aim to capture timelessness and evoke a certain era which often fail. Callers have grace, class and an understanding of how the American songbook works and how it can be manipulated. The results here are perfect.” – The Aquarian Weekly
“Callers make an indescribable, codeine-ready micro-ruckus that straddles some downtown-via-Bedford line between grandiose indie rock gestures, art-jazz slither, dusty folk, and swooning soul. The band understands how to seamlessly mix disparate sounds.” – Village Voice
“[Sara] Lucas proves a smoother operator, building very gradually from a near-stillness to slowly expanding and unfolding movements and gestures, bringing her beat very slowly out to the world, and drawing the audience fully into Callers’ gravity.” – New York Press
“…I actually had to shut it off because it got to be too much. And of course, that’s meant as high praise.” – Pitchfork

La Femme de Gilles (2004)

A woman struggles to hold on to the man she loves in this drama set in the 1930s from Belgian filmmaker Frédéric Fonteyne. Elisa (Emmanuelle Devos) is a housewife who is passionately devoted to her husband, Gilles (Clovis Cornillac), who works in a steel mill. Despite taking care of twin daughters and unfailingly seeing to the cooking and cleaning in their home, Elisa is as adoring of Gilles as she was on the day they met, and she eagerly tends to his ravenous sexual appetite. However, while most men would be thrilled to have a wife like Elisa, after years of marriage she begins to suspect that he might be having an affair with her sister Victorine (Laura Smet) while Elisa is pregnant with their third child. Elisa is too much in love with Gilles to leave him, but while she can accept her husband's faults, neither she nor her husband are certain if this is a casual fling or a love affair that will put an end to their relationship. La Femme de Gilles (aka Gilles' Wife) was adapted from a novel by Madeleine Bourdouxhe.

Netherfriends – Barry and Sherry (2010)

Yes, comparisons can be made to Animal Collective when talking about Chicago’s Netherfriends. They both share a lushness and obsessive love of overdubs. That said, never once while listening to Netherfriends debut, “Barry and Sherry” did I find myself yelling in my head, “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” like I do when Animal Collective is playing. Shawn Rosenblatt, the man behind Netherfriends, feels way more interested in giving us songs rather than noises on top of noises. For this we should be grateful. Barry and Sherry is an album full of quirky, psychedelic pop songs that usually feel fleshed out with just the right amount of instrumentation.
I will, for the sake of argument, add a comparison that maybe has yet to be made. There’s a lot of East River Pipe in Rosenblatt’s songs. Perhaps these two are more kindred spirits than the more well known Animal Collective. FM Corndog (AKA East River Pipe) also writes off kilter pop songs that he augments with keyboards and drum machines, creating a one man on the cheap version of Phil Spector’s wall of sound. And both share a nasally quality to their vocals. Where they differ is in tone. East River Pipe come across as melancholy and often monotonous whereas Netherfriend’s songs are self-referential at times and more willing to dig deep and rock on when necessary.
It’s this heaviness that makes Barry and Sherry more compelling than most art college oriented rock. “Washed Up 80′s TV Star” has so much bottom end and manic guitar parts that it prevents any chance of the album from sagging in the middle. It leads perfectly into the Flaming Lips-esque “Lead You Through The Misty Fog of Milwaukee Ave.” with its xylophone, piano and sleigh bells. The more I compare, the more impressive Barry and Sherry becomes because it is soaked in influences without sounding much like any one in particular.

Distilled Art

In 1992, a research scientist named Michael Davidson stumbled upon a genius idea right under his nose - literally. In his 25 year career through the many facets of microscopy, he had taken photographs under the microscope of a collection of items - DNA, biochemicals and vitamins.

The Scottish Enlightenment – St. Thomas (2010)

This, boys and girls, is every bit as awesome as I expected. Get in! Whenever you start listening to an album of which have serious expectations there is always the likelihood that it will disappoint. This one, I was careful not to over-anticipate for just that reason.

Also, The Scottish Enlightenment’s music isn’t the kind of music to bowl you over, particularly, it just washes over you in an unhurried, unassuming kind of way, and it’s usually only afterwards that you realise how much you’ve enjoyed it.

There is a kind of bigness to though. It’s nothing new, and nothing pointedly clever, it’s just good, but the slow burn of their guitars does bring a grandeur with it of a sort, but it’s the sort which seems inward-facing, rather than exhorting others to admire its greatness. One guitar tends to pick out notes here and there, keeping the melody nice and clear, while another slowly builds an impression of the mood of the song. The two will take turns being centre-stage over the course of most tracks, but the interplay is really nicely done.

Velvet Davenport - Warmy Girls

Velvet Davenport
Warmy Girls
[Moon Glyph, 2010]

"Warmy Girls", Velvet Davenport’s third release with Moon Glyph, locates the band’s sonic architect and chief songwriter Parker Sprout displaying a rainbow of talents – talents only winked at on previous, briefer releases. Recorded in Sprout’s apartment studio last winter, the album became an effervescent brew of guitar-and-organ character sketches. Named after a feeling of affection and love, "Warmy Girls" is populated with men and women in a manner reminiscent of Ray Davies’ best Kink songs.

Pigeons

Pigeons
Liasons [Soft Abuse,2010]

Bronx, NY sweetheart duo Pigeons wade closer to the edge of ambitious pop provocations with their third LP, Liasons.  Liasons finds the band in the midst of an enormous creative leap; the psychedelic chanson moves of previous releases now cohabit with spacious westcoast art-blues & wistful cosmic folk tunes, casually invoking Catherine Ribeiro, Brigitte Fontaine, Grim and Opal.  Pigeons’ singular approach to structure, arrangements & production techniques - mirrored by the disruptive spelling of Liasons – culminate with Wednesday Knudsen and Clark Griffin lacing their songs with flute, saxophone, echo, drum machines and languid guitar lines.  Liasons also includes two songs in French, one of which is a brilliant a take on Laisse Tomber les Filles by Serge Gainsbourg.

Stan Ridgway – Neon Mirage

Stan Ridgway – Neon Mirage (2010)

I had not thought about Stan Ridgway for quite a while. He first came to the public and my attention as a member of the L.A. New Wave band Wall Of Voodoo. He was a member from 1977-1983 before leaving for a solo career. The band continued until 1988.
He has traveled an eclectic path over the course of the last two-plus decades, producing alternative rock, electronic music, industrial rock, and even some country music along the way. He has also provided the music or contributed to sixteen soundtracks including such films as Rumble Fish and Pump Up The Volume.
Ridgway has now returned with a new album, Neon Mirage. It is an interesting career turn as he emerges primarily as a modern day troubadour. The songs are very personal, dealing with life and loss. The press release cites his parent’s record collection as a big influence for this release. While Dean Martin, Ernest Tubb, Frank Sinatra, Allan Sherman, Charlie Rich, and Patsy Cline are mentioned, it is Marty Robbins that seems to be the best match for a lot of the music. It reminds me of the stories which Robbins told on his Gunfighter series of albums. Even some of Ridgeway’s vocals channel Robbins’ style.
Ridgway resurrects “Big Green Tree,” re-working it from his Black Diamond album. It still asks questions about life and belonging but is presented much more gently, emerging as a modern-day folk song.
“Like A Wanderin’ Star” is a poignant eulogy for a friend. “Behind The Mask” is Ridgway at his most introspective. “Flag Up On A Pole” talks about the cost of patriotism. “Halfway There” reveals a man, now 56, contemplating life’s passing.

Young Prisms – Friends For Now (2011)

Young Prisms – Friends For Now (2011)

Favorit za debi album 2011,San Francisko baby!!!

If ‘slacker’ means ‘purveyor of angst-ridden badass psychedelic rock,’ then the Young Prisms qualify. Five such slackers comprise this band: Jason Hendardy, Jordan Silbert, Matt Allen, Stef Hodapp, and Gio Betteo. Silbert is the old man, at twenty-four, and all five recently dropped out of various unsatisfying academic situations— from media arts programs to master‘s track.

What they did instead is they moved into a roach infested apartment above a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco’s Mission District and started pumping out dark, driving rhythms overlaid with melodies that pulse and build and then break over you. Out of this small dwelling, the five members shared a living, practicing and recording space and held seances in hopes of invoking the Mission District’s legendary artistic spirits. The result, some of the best stuff coming out of a city exploding with brilliant new music, and more concretely a debut LP, “Friends For Now”.

The group’s lyrics, which you’ll have to do your best to decipher, are laced with a kind of nonchalance (I’m thinking of one song off the new LP called “If You Want To,” as in “whatevs”) that devolves quickly into a grim, passionate poetry part My Bloody Valentine, part Sonic Youth, part Charles Bukowski, part some kind of uncategorizable sparkly ecstasy. Whoa.

Nuevas confirmaciones

Iako se još uvek nisu smirile strasti nakon prošlonedeljne pop-kulturne vesti godine o reunionu banda Pulp, glavni krivci za ovu vest - organizatori festivala Primavera Sound, nastavljaju sa najavama izvođača za novo izdanje festivala koje će se održati od 25. do 29. maja 2011. godine u Barseloni.

Listu od 10 novopotvrđenih imena predvodi legendarni njujorški duo Suicide. Muzika Alana Vege i Martina Reva, tri decenije kasnije, zvuči podjednako provokativno i jedinstveno, baš kao i na njihovim nepredvidivim live nastupima krajem 70-ih godina prošlog veka.



Za mnoge fanove Velvet Underground, srce banda činio je John Cale. Nakon Velveta, bavio se produkcijskim radom, ali je nastavio i da objavljuje albume pod svojim imenom. Vrhunac solo karijere je album Paris 1919 iz 1973. godine i upravo taj album će u celosti i u pratnji orkestra, u okviru Don't Look Back serijala (više o tome u tekstu o prošlogiodišnjoj Primaveri) biti izveden sledećeg maja.



Legende nezavisne muzičke scene 80-ih, reformisani Swans, prodrmaće Barselonu starim pesmama, ali i novim sa odličnog povratničkog albuma My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky.

The Woman That Dreamed About a Man (2010)

The Woman That Dreamed About a Man (2010) -Per Fly
Kvinden der drømte om en mand

Karen (Sonja Richter) is working so constantly that she has little time for her husband (Michael Nyqvist) and daughter. When she spies a handsome man on the street in Paris, she feels an electric attraction that changes her life. She learns that Machik (Marcin Dorocinski) is a professor visiting from Poland, and she pursues him relentlessly, even going so far as to follow him all the way to Warsaw and ensconcing herself in an apartment right across the street from the flat where he lives with his wife and family. While Machik initially encourages the romance, he soon tires of Karen and tries to extricate himself from the relationship.

Open Hearts (2002)

Open Hearts (2002)- Anders Thomas Jensen
Elsker dig for evigt

Cecilie is devastated when her fiance Joachim is seriously injured in a car accident and is paralysed from the waist down. She begins an affair with Niels, a doctor at the hospital where Joachim is being treated. Their relationship is further complicated by the fact that the doctor's wife Marie was the driver that caused the accident in the first place.

Andrea Ferraris and Matteo Uggeri – Autumn is Coming We’re All in Slow Motion

Andrea Ferraris and Matteo Uggeri 
Autumn is Coming We’re All in Slow Motion
[Hibernate,2010]

Verovatno album sa najboljim naslovima pesama ove godine...

Matteo Uggeri and Andrea Ferraris met after having shared a series of collaborations with noise-ambient icons like Maurizio Bianchi/MB and Andrea Marutti/Amon. "Autumn is coming, we´re all in slow motion", is the result of their mutual interest in searching for the most balanced blend of experimental music and melody. The work has been recorded and assembled trying to recreate a sort of "ordinary-life" environment and to give this aural-diary the shape of a soundtrack. During this process, an incredible array of field-recordings and instruments were used with the main premise of creating an experimental yet melancholic record. This collaborative effort brought together the magic touch of Japanese musician Mujika Easel (Eisi, Mono, Taylor Deupree), that here is featured on piano and vocals, with Andrea Serrapiglio (Carla Bozulich´s Evangelista, Barbara De Dominicis...) who, beside playing cello, took care of the mastering. The field-recordings were taken from all around Italy and central Europe, while the rest of the music was recorded in Milan, Alessandria and Tokyo.

Scenes from the back bedroom window EP
[Secret Furry Hole,2010]

"with 'scenes from the back bedroom window' i was trying to make something a little more minimal with long stretched out notes. i wanted the whole thing to sound a little like it was underwater. it was recorded in the depths of winter with snowstorms so bad i had to walk six miles to get to work. i hope some of that feeling of detachment and isolation comes across in the music."

This is the debut EP by Sóley Stefánsdóttir, a 23 year old girl from Reykjavik, student of composition and a member of the Icelandic indie-collective Seabear – it’s the debut of a singer and a dreamer: Six songs held together by Sóleys piano play and her voice – because every of her compositions come into being while she is singing to the piano.

Girls

Girls – Broken Dreams Club (2010)

...kad smo vec kod Pulp-a...










 Girls are following Album with the 6-song, 30-minute Broken Dreams Club, a collection JR White recorded at the band’s home studio. He did a good job judging from pretty lead track “Heartbreaker.” In a letter about Broken, Christopher Owens writes: “This record is a letter of intent, it’s a snapshot of the horizon. We took the money we’ve made on tour and worked with the kind of equipment and musicians that would have been too expensive for us in the past.” He adds: “This isn’t Girls all grown up, but it’s certainly the next step up…” You should hear the difference.

The Jesus & Mary Chain

The Jesus & Mary Chain (Album Series) 5CD Boxset (2010)

Za sve
P  S  Y  C   H    O    C   A   N   D   E   R   E ...









Like the Velvet Underground, their most obvious influence, the chart success of the Jesus and Mary Chain was virtually nonexistent, but their artistic impact was incalculable; quite simply, the British group made the world safe for white noise, orchestrating a sound dense in squalling feedback which served as an inspiration to everyone from My Bloody Valentine to Dinosaur Jr. Though the supporting players drifted in and out of focus, the heart of the Mary Chain remained vocalists and guitarists William and Jim Reid, Scottish-born brothers heavily influenced not only by underground legends like the Velvets and the Stooges but also by the sonic grandeur and pop savvy of Phil Spector and Brian Wilson. In the Jesus and Mary Chain, which the Reids formed outside of Glasgow in 1984 with bassist Douglas Hart and drummer Murray Dalglish (quickly replaced by Bobby Gillespie), these two polarized aesthetics converged; equal parts bubblegum and formless guitar distortion, their sound both celebrated pop conventions and thoroughly subverted them. In late 1984, the band issued its seminal debut single, “Upside Down,” a remarkable blast of live wire feedback anchored by a caveman-like drumbeat; the record made the Mary Chain an overnight sensation in the U.K., as did their nascent live shows, 20-minute sets of confrontational noise (performed with the band’s members’ backs to the audience) which frequently ended in rioting. The follow-up, “You Trip Me Up,” further perfected the formula, and led to their 1985 debut LP Psychocandy, which gift-wrapped sweet, simple pop songs in ribbons of droning guitar fuzz. After a two-year layoff (during which time Gillespie exited to form Primal Scream, and was replaced by John Moore), the Jesus and Mary Chain returned with Darklands, a dramatic shift in approach which stripped away the feedback to expose the skeletal guitar pop at the music’s core. 

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers – Damn the Torpedoes [Deluxe Edition](2010)

There’s nothing like thinking you lost something, and then stumbling across it, long after you even remembered you had it. Like, 30 years after. Such is the case for some of the bonus material included in the Deluxe Edition of Damn The Torpedoes, due for release on November 9th. According to a slightly self-congratulatory 5-minute film about the history of the album as well as the reissue, as many as twenty-five hundred tapes (yes, 2,500 tapes) from the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers vault were unearthed in search for bonus material to include on the Deluxe Edition, one of which contained the never-before-heard “Nowhere”, believed to be lost way back in 1979 during the Torpedoes sessions. The lost song joins eight other bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition, six of which are also previously unreleased.
This release comes hot on the heels of the band’s recently completed North American tour in support of their latest album, Mojo. Seems like after 30+ years, this group has no problem staying busy.
Fans will be able to obtain this Deluxe Edition on pretty much any format they desire: 2CDs, 2LPs, Blu-Ray, or Download (sorry, cassette enthusiasts).

Warpaint - Live Session

Anika

Anika
Anika [Invada,2010]

Living between Berlin and Bristol whilst working as a political journalist and music promoter, Anika met Portishead’s Geoff Barrow through a mutual friend. Immediately it was clear that they shared the same musical vision; a love of punk, dub and 60’s girl groups. The following week Anika, Geoff with his Beak> band mates went into the studio to begin recording ANIKA’s debut album. They recorded the album in 12 days. The album is a collection of uneasy easy listening.

Soft Moon

Soft Moon
Soft Moon [Captured Tracks,2010]

The band is one of the long line of lush, dark pop bands that sprouted out of the tail end of 80's post-punk and shoegaze. The Soft Moon pick up the very best elements of those movements and craft a sound that’s not unlike anything out ther - dark, whispered affair redolent of late '70s / early '80s post-punk and proto-goth sounds. It's a fairly faithful retread of sounds previously touched on by the likes of Joy Division and The Cure, but this San Francisco band pull it off better than most.

Orange Juice

Orange Juice
Coals To Newcastle

Seven-disc anthology charting the career of the hugely influential Scottish post-punk band, fronted by Edwyn Collins. Inside the box you'll find six audio CDs and one DVD, which between them feature Orange Juice's complete discography as well as other studio recordings and their BBC sessions. There are sixteen previously unreleased tracks included, with a further twenty-three that weren't available on older reissues. Among the DVD highlights are videos for 'Rip It Up' and the Derek Jarman-directed 'What Presence?!', plus Old Grey Whistle Test performances and rare concert video Dada With The Juice.

Simone Felice is the front man of The Duke & The King and founding member of the Felice Brothers.
This August will mark the limited release of Simone Felice – Live From A Lonely Place. Recorded at home (in the barn) just a few weeks after his heart surgery, this retrospective collection includes songs from the earliest Felice Brother days, Duke & King favorites, and the traditional Celtic waltz ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ arranged by Simone. Naked as the day you were born, these stark recordings cut to the bone, revealing the essential brilliance of the songwriting, the poetry, like a ghost in the attic, like a wind at the door.

Tav Falco & Unapproachable Panther Burns - Conjurations:
Séance for Deranged Lovers (2010)

The master of a raw and shambolic fusion of rockabilly, blues, and fractured noise, Tav Falco was, along with the Cramps, one of the earliest purveyors of what would come to be known as psychobilly (though his version of the sound lacked the campy horror movie ambience others brought to it), and he anticipated the fractured but hard-hitting blueswailing of the Gories and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion by close to a decade.

The War On Drugs

The War on Drugs – Future Weather (2010) EP

MAMA MELANHOLIJA...

Only time will really tell whether Philadelphia-based band The War on Drugs is destined to be known as “the band Kurt Vile used to be in,” but that sort of thing isn’t keeping TWoD from pushing forward. The Future Weather EP is the follow-up to the band’s 2008 debut album, Wagonwheel Blues, and their ex-guitarist Kurt Vile‘s star has certainly risen since that album’s release, but The War on Drugs’ blend of laid-back indie-pop and Americana is back for another shot at the brass ring regardless.

Le ballon rouge

Le ballon rouge (1956)

A boy makes friends with a seemingly sentient balloon, and it begins to follow him. It follows the boy to school, to the bus, and to church. Boy and balloon play together in the streets of Paris and try to elude a gang of boys that wants to destroy the balloon. Winner of the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, and there is almost no dialog spoken in the film.

Izdavač: L.O.M.

Godina izdanja: 2010

Neki ljudi najviše vole svoju decu, neki svoga muža ili ženu, neki prijatelje, neki oca ili majku, braću ili sestre, neki samo sebe, neki ne prave razliku, a Fante je najviše voleo svoju ženu Džojs. Knjiga Puna života posvećena je njoj, mada je centralna ličnost romana burleskni Fanteov otac.

Tomas Pinčon - V.

Tomas Pinčon
V.
[Carobna knjiga,2010]

Moderni klasik, jedan od najznačajnijih romana savremene literature.
U središtu priče je tajanstvena, neuhvatljiva žena sa inicijalom V, opsesija jednog od glavnih junaka romana, koja se nasumično pojavljuje na raznim mestima i u raznim periodima kraja 19. i prve polovine 20. veka. Tragajući za njom, na momente stvarnom, na momente samo opsenom, glavni junak nam otkriva panoramu dvadesetog veka, gde nijedna priča ne vodi nikuda, gde pojedinac ostaje suočen sa sobom u krajnje otuđenom svetu, a svaka potraga za istinom i smislom ostaje nedorečena...

Disappears

Disappears
Lux  [Kranky,2010]

Drawing on a combined reverence for reverb, heavy tremolo, distortion, delay and repetition, Disappears play minimal rock music inspired by krautrock, punk rock, and a bit of everything in between. This is space rock/shoegaze (Space Gaze? Shoe Rock?) but, make no mistake, it's also proper rock, of the type that gets people moving. Dancing like you're completely invisible, for preference, but nodding your head and tapping your foot despite yourself will do if you're one of those ultra-hip London types.

Wooden Shjips

Wooden Shjips
Vol. 2. 
[Sick Thirst; 2010] 

A second volume of rare and hard-to-find tracks from space-rocking behemoth Wooden Shjips, collecting singles for Sub Pop and Mexican Summer along with self-released tour 7"s and a track recorded especially for Yeti magazine.

Demon's Claws

Demon's Claws
The Defrosting Of... [In The Red,2010]

Montreal's most delirious band - part Gun Club, part Back from the Grave, part lo-fi distorted crunch, part young Mick Jagger with a mouth full of pills, all delivered with a weird, backwoods creepiness. The Defrosting Of... solidifies their earnest ambition to stomp their Americana-tinged blues-punk death trip into submission.

Ordet(1955)
Carl Theodor Dreyer

With his masterful Ordet (aka The Word, [1955]), legendary Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer examines the conflict between internalized personal faith and organized religion. Dreyer sets the drama in a conservative, super-pious Danish town, where widower Morten Borgen (Henrik Malberg) -- the father of three boys -- cuts against the grain of the community with his constant heretical doubt. One of his sons, Mikkel Borgen (Emil Hass Christensen), is entangled in an interfaith romance with a fundamentalist's daughter, while the second, Anders Borgen (Cay Kristiansen), is an agnostic, and the third, Johannes Borgen (Preben Leerdorff-Rye) -- a devotee of Søren Kirkegaard -- believes that he actually is Jesus Christ -- a conviction ridiculed by almost everyone as pure insanity. Also known as The Word, Ordet was the only film that Dreyer made in the 1950s. The author of the play on which the film was based (and which was previously filmed in 1943) was Kaj Munk, a Danish pastor murdered by the Nazis for daring to announce his fidelity to Christ over Hitler.
