A nice band from austria that you might not know yet

I found this awesome band via a commercial and am really obsessed with them. So far they've only released a 7" and it's really hard to find something about Go Die Big City!. But you can still enjoy a nice track and two videos :)

*Song by Los Campesinos - check them out!

As you may (or may not) know, I love lists. But I hate making them.

It's really interesting to see what others think/like, but putting the stuff i love in the right order is something I'm really bad at. I listen to a song/album/band and am really obsessed with it for a while. A few days after that I'm into something else....

BUT I'm going to list a few blogs that I heart:

Get Off The Coast

Well, if you read my older blog posts you know that i loooove Jheri's blog.

Why I like it:

There are hardly any tunes on this blog that I do not like. This guy posts truly great stuff and rebloggs awesome music from all the other blogs i love.

2. Microphone Memory Emotion

This blog is written by Georgia.

Why I like it:
I always find new bands I didn't know before.
She likes Sonic Youth :)

Other Blogs:

Weekly Tape Deck by Nathan

Friendship Bracelet by Ian

Small Estuaries by Brian & Ty

Of course, there are a lot of other great "blogs worth blogging about", I just picked some I enjoy.

What are your fave blogs?

UPDATE:

What I like about the other blogs:
Pretty much the same as mentioned above. You can find new music anywhere. But you only find great music on those blogs (and a few others)

UPDATE of the UPDATE:
Please take a look at the blog of my friend Susa, too:

SONIC YOUTH

Heyy guys...

I'm sorry that i didn't post anything for a little while. I don't think I'm going to post regularly anyways.

Here are some videos from SONIC YOUTH, probably the best grunge/garage-rock band in the world. They're 57+ years old but that doesn't mean they don't rock anymore.

LIL HISTORY:

The members Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Kim Gordon and former drummer Richard Edson started "The Arcadians" in 1981. After some drummer-replacements and changing their name to "Sonic Youth", Moore and Gordon married in 1984. They signed to (and released various albums on) a major label in the 90s. Sonic Youth's latest album "The Eternal" was released on the indie label Matador Records in June 2009.

Sonic Youth released 16 albums so far. Their live shows are really awesome and they prepare their guitars with drumsticks and screwdrivers.

again... new music

2009-08-23T19:04:00.004+02:00

Another blog post about new music.

really new music. Only very few people blogged about this band, i think.

WEED DIAMOND

No-one tip toes the fine line around the crash of delicate dreamy hooks into bedroom bloomed amp distortion like Denver’s green fingered and heavy handed WEED DIAMOND. Dug up and buried beneath layers of morphine drip reverb are their still shiny jams – resonating warmly like an ode to the imperfect noise hit. --Transparent

UPDATE :: Mr Weed Diamond himself has offered up a collection of demos, so check them out here and get a little happier.

This blog post is about something very special:

Jheri Evans

How 'bout this great lo-fi stuff...

FUNGI GIRLS - hyperactive shoehaze filtered through crooked rain, garage fuck, and wannabe c86. made by three tx kids that are too young to buy cigarettes.

"14 and 15 year old guys from rural Texas (read: suburbs of Dallas) making washed-out guitar pop. I didn't know they were quite that young until looking them up, but the initial pleasure in this music definitely grows when attached with bullshit notions of the immediacy of youth, fuck-it Garage Band production values, etc. Only time will tell if this is a wrinkle in the diy continuum, never to be heard from again, or if they'll be opening for Vivian Girl's stadium tours in ten years, or Wavves next week." - Impose Magazine

Wenn alle Wavves-hasser diesen Artikel als ersten Wavves Artikel gelesen hätten, wären sie Wavves-fans geworden:

If all Wavves haters would've read this review as the first review of Wavves, they now would be Wavves fans:

Hey there!

Willkommen bei meinem Blog! Ich werde hier viel über Alternative Music schreiben, über meine Band, meine Friends und jede Menge mehr. Da Alternative Blogger hauptsächlich in Englisch-sprachigen Ländern leben, werde ich hier (versuchen) zweisprachig zu schreiben (de + engl). Falls du irgendwelche Übersetzungsfehler findest, lasse es mich wissen, da mein Englisch ziemlich miserabel ist...

Welcome to my blog! I'm going to write a lot about alternative music, my band, my friends and lots more. Because alternative bloggers mainly live in english-speaking countries, im going to write in german and english. If you find any translation mistakes, please let me know, because my english is pretty bad...

Enjoy!
