The outbreak of Sound garden grunge 'Blow Up The Outside World'

At the sound the first notes of 'Blow Up The Outside World "Sound garden in concert at the Sonisphere, a friend, grunge as could be, I dropped a clear and concise comment:" This could be the subject more Sound garden grunge they have created to date. "Thinking in retrospect, and the fascinating video revision who accompanied him in his day, I think the colleague she is right: the song "Down On The Upside" (1996) is one of those explosive cuts in claiming this as glorified inner world of both has been linked to this sub-genre of alternative rock of the nineties.

And it is not hard to see this in an issue entitled "blow up the outside world," and has lines like "... bursting into hell and out, wishing I could never even blow up the outside world ...". It was the last stage that the band lived Cornell in the 90 and it shows in every second of the piece. There is so much anger, severe fatigue, and an exaggerated desolation in this brilliant and probably underestimated - production of Sound garden.

What do you think? Do you think that is a good representation of the movement who lived Pearl Jam, Nirvana and some other bands in the past?

Jim Jones, "will publish my debut album in February 2013"

It has always been related to My Morning Jacket but the reality is that Jim Jones, the singer of great indie rock group My Morning Jacket takes some time working in an intense solo career. This was released in 2010 with the release of 'Tribute To, EP with which James paid an emotional tribute to one of his heroes of youth: George Harrison. That pitch helped him gain confidence ahead of the release of a debut album that Jim's own words, will go on sale next February 2013.

Do not expect the sonic result of this LP will be identical to that of My Morning Jacket and many nuances that will differentiate it. "A lot of melodic material, but there are many crumb that is completely different" - Rolling Stone commented James. "The album is recorded and I am proud of accomplishments. I think it has a very different sound background in which I was introduced yesterday and that did not quite stay up in the compact of My Morning Jacket. "

It's more than obvious that Jones is in the experimental stage of his career as a musician. Both "CIRCUIT" (surely the disc more "groove" My Morning Jacket) and his collaborations, Jim has shown a great need to externalize his love for soul and funk of the 60/70. I doubt that this new album will change the thing: If anything defines the front man of My Morning Jacket is an effort to advance and the soul is precisely the musical direction is seducing him most. Personally I have no complaint: I and I'll be happy if this album cuts enjoyed as delicious as that 'Progress' which led him to collaborate with Booker T. Jones.

Syndrome: a realm of shadows

Hesitant stepping through the world of darkness, groping search into uncertain darkness that bare, low-light environments, the preferred sound spheres of Mathieu Vanderkerckhove (Amenra, KINGDOM) are, is occupied by various Church Of Ra activities impressive. In "Now and Forever, the new album of his project SYNDROME, with minimal resources (guitars, piano, synths and a little singing) within 28 minutes detailed and subtle moods generated interwoven discarded. The Düsterambienzen and drones is shrouded in such sectors rose to their feet, lie down as coarse-cold hands around the neck tie, to paralyze and leave a feeling of anxiety and loneliness.

The heavenly single ride as Passion Pit

The July 23 launch to the market Passion Pit 'Gossamer', an album that will happen on the throne to a "Manners" which surprised both friends and strangers between 2009 and 2010. The band of Massachusetts has invested heavily in this last LP, as its leader - Michael Angelakos - has not been shy in stating that "Gossamer" is a disc "really fantastic, exciting, beautiful, beautiful.". No doubt the words of Angelakos (reasons will have to say so outright in the splendid "look" of their new LP) but listening to 'Take A Walk', first single of this album-length, has led us to think other adjectives that begin to describe the new adventure of these young princes of electropop.

More than "cute" say "heavenly". The "exciting" it would become "delirious". And prescindiríamos of "precious" to enter in the "pack" to a pleasantly "levitation". It is with this set of adjectives with which we would try to describe a single crushing that, while not no big deal, we get more and engage more with every listen. Right, and risky movement, made ​​by these guys from Passion Pit.

Enjoy the studio version and live 'Take A Walk' they did in last November at the funfunfun Fest 2011.

St. Lucia - Closer Than This

My thing with 'Closer Than This' of St. Lucia was love at first sight. You know, like those arising in the metro. Glances, winks and gestures that make us slight sketch a sea of ​​silly laughter (at least those who are still single). In this case I needed to just listen for about 30 seconds of the song to know it was going to be one of the most played on my iPhone in the face of the entire spring season.

A hypnotic effect of keyboard serves as an introduction of a melancholy song in which Jean-Philippe talks about those relationships that sadly never fully consummated. Everything moved with a lively pace, with a chorus that serves as a platform to hold us and so beautiful surf the waves of the U.S. East Coast. That and much more is 'Closer Than This'. See below both the studio version as the two that are in sound on YouTube. The first is insanely good.

Note: Remember that last Friday wrote a lengthy critique / review in which the EP we told you about St. Lucia. It adjuntábamos full disk streaming.

Revolution in the pub

On the penultimate weekend in March, more precisely, from 23.-25. March came together 31 speakers and about 70 people on Lake Starnberg, within the framework of the conference to discuss "revolution in the space" of urbanaut and the Protestant Academy of Tutzing on the new forms of protest, participation and discourse production between digital and urban public spaces.
It was the first official weekend of spring, and up to a few rain showers, it has also kept its promise. There would be probably the course of the meeting, the partners of the Munich forum was best described. Based on global events of the Arab spring, the protests in Tunis, Cairo and Benghazi as well as demonstrations of the Wall Street Occupy movement possibilities and challenges of social media and the Internet for the development of participation and democracy have been debated.
In the audience, and also on the panel met pioneers of the digital society to advocate the analog reality. Sun Facebook was just as open data, e-participation and intellectual discussion. Also present were representatives in addition to the Munich policy and administration (including Dr. Blume-Beyerle, Dr. Kueppers, Dieter Janecek, Siegfried Benker) theoreticians of different disciplines such as urban planning, architecture, politics and media studies (eg Dieter Rucht, Hannah Wettig, Anne Roth and Dirk von Gehlen) as well as practitioners and their specific projects (including the resistance of Slobodan Djinovic CANVAS Agency, part of Anna and Denis Bartelt and Peter Kusterer of Next start of the "Smart Cities Initiative" by IBM Germany).
Munich could be summed up in conclusion, that while others with the digital investment offer for the "Perspective Munich" and MOGDY by the city and a few private networking initiatives, the first important steps to be gone, but many activities are still in their infancy and sometimes the digital public space in Munich is still missing. "The revolution is here slowly, probably at the pub ..." (KM Drohsel). It became clear that it requires not only new concepts and a new awareness of the increasing fusion of digital and urban public spaces.
The meeting was organized here by Stefan and Karsten Michael Höffken Drohsel urbanophil.net of live and recorded in real time to read. Or will soon be on www.urbanaut.org.
