video of the day: 2:54 – Sugar
Since 2:54 were first mentioned on this blog (well actually they were featured in frock&roll #3) some time has passed and once again I was proved right with the rosy prospect I gave to the sibling duo. And no 2:54 is not the length of all their songs – instead it’s taken from both of their [...]

Dust is slowly falling down in Coachella Valley, the most lazy of all music journalists finally finished their reviews and all the outfits were properly bashed on-line.

“An album a year and a Beatles wing! That’s it.”

OK, some of them consist mainly of pictures of naked ladies, but you get my point. Or not. Anyhow, during my weekly men mag raid I [...]
Let’s Kamp!
I feel particulary stupid labeling Kamp! as an emerging band. They seem “emerged” alright. In my hometown every friend is a fan and I remember hundreds of meters long queues in front of venues they were playing. Almost 17.000 likes on their fan page seem to prove the point. Since 2008, when the synth pop [...]

record store day 2012
The pessimist I am I thought there is no record store day in Austria – but was proven wrong (did record store happen last year? – I don’t know – completely surpassed me). But as always Austria is well behind, but still it’s no reason not to support the local record stores. Recordbag most definitely [...]
