Last night the network was unveiled at the official music video 'Shadow Days', first single from John Mayer's new album entitled "Born And Raised". In the clip, like a synopsis of what is seen in the movie "Into The Wild" (Into the Wild), guitarist of Fairfield runs all types of natural areas and walking for countless miles. For the time Mayer has looked once more that strange new look that is closer to Johnny Depp to the single aspect that has characterized him throughout his musical career.
May 22 is the day which will release "Born And Raised". If you are fans of Mayer recommend that you let yourself fall johnmayer.shop.musictoday.com where it is possible to order both the LP as a stack of interesting merchandise (moleskines, shirts, vinyl ...).

The Mynabirds sharpen his return to "Generals"
Laura Burhenn is tucked between the eyes the idea of being recognized internationally. This healthy obsession began to be apparent in the middle of the last decade, the artist joined John Davis (Q And Not U) to create a band called Georgie James. Both artists decided to split up in 2008 to go and find your way and direction. Laura, who has never had a silly hair, used his trust with the people of Saddle Creek - and the use of various quality contacts - to form The Mynabirds with a band that secundase. After much work, and a search of his roots, Burhenn materialized a sound close to Carole King (and hints of what Motown) described perfectly on the debut album "What We Lose In The Fire We Gain It In The Flood" is published in 2010 and which helped the ubiquitous Richard Swift. Now the feisty blonde protagonist returns to Washington by "Generals", second studio album to be released on June 5. The first single, titled the same way that the compact can be heard from now:
In the single Burhann left side a little more rustic appearance of old sound. This new face of The Mynabirds is characterized by melodic encircle the base with a barbed wire driven by retumbadores guitar lines. In its own way is as if these guys were renewed sonasen more closely to the most dusty Makovski Maika. And you know what? We love it so. Now I have to see if the rest of the LP is so powerful and rich in nuances as seen here.
Enclosed trailer for the album and a form you, including your email, you can get download 'Generals' completely free of charge.

Human Tetris
I do not even know why I you the russian band Human Tetris have not even advertised in my blog - but stylistically it fits very well in here. Shoegazeinfizierter post-punk (or wave) is what we offer, the boys from Moscow on their debut disc "happy way in the maze of rebirth." Melodic melancholy and well-packaged.

Free and very very good: Modern Jazz Piano Trio by Rusconi
MusicmondayWährend Germany in the copyright debate infuriated by the remarks of element-of-Crime singer Sven Regener ("We were pissing in the face!") Is back in full swing and the well-known arguments are pushed back and forth, has long been off the record companies formed an alternative culture, which is working on new ways to distribute music. In this blog, I pointed at the "free and very good" articles on various alternative distribution concepts. Incidentally, I received the following tip from my good friend and jazz expert Sebastian Bodden.
Rusconi - Revolution - CoverDas Swiss jazz trio Rusconi published regularly since 2004 in a 2-year cycle of conventional CDs at record labels (an album even appeared on the major Sony!). The new album is so revolutionary conclusion: The trio makes its music on the Internet for download free of charge (or more precisely with the proven platform bandcamp.com that the music in all sorts of formats, from MP3 to AAC via the lossless formats FLAC and ALAC). The album is available on a pay-what-you-want basis, ie the listener can decide for themselves whether and how much money he wants to let the band get their music (and can). There is also a rare vinyl edition, which you can order (of course, a free download is here), a CD will be offered exclusively at the concerts.
Even more important than their alternative approach to the distribution of their music is, of course, their music itself, and here Stefan Rusconi have (* 1979, piano, effects, backing vocals), Fabian Gisler (b. 1977, bass, effects, backing vocals) and Claudio Strüby (b. 1980, drums, tapes, glockenspiel, backing vocals), really a lot to offer. Their new album "Revolution" summarizes in a very convincing manner, the various current trends in jazz piano trio together, influenced by the almost classical sound ("Milk") on poppier influences ("Tempelhof"), to experimental, rocking sound ( "Alice in the Sky"), they all uniformly woven into their sound. "Revolution" is not just the first album by a hopefully successful concept has become, with which it the band manages to find a bigger audience and better funded than ever to cut, but it has become primarily a damn good, varied jazz album that you really need to listen completely through in order to capture the full range of the trio can. Highlight of the album is her collaboration with the avant-garde musician and composer Fred Frith on "Alice in the Sky" and the closing "Hits of Sunshine" (a live recording from Bielefeld).
Who modern piano trio à la est, the Neil Cowley Trio or the Trio Vijay Iyver like that will be done very well by Rusconi.

Dreams with open eyes
Juliane Lorenz (left) and Hanna Schygulla in the stables
"It was like dreaming with open eyes," said Hanna Schygulla remembers her time with Rainer Werner Fassbinder. An evening at the Munich Royal Stables in the weekend, "Cooper - still alive" was the era of anti-teater reflected.
The evening was part of a weekend, which dealt with the artist, who died 30 years ago. The actress Hanna Schygulla and Irm Hermann, both co-founders of Fassbinder antiteater, Juliane Lorenz, editor of many of Fassbinder's films and life partner to death of the director, film scholar Michael Töteberg and Claudia Blank, director of the German Theatre Museum in Munich, discussed on Saturday evening about the radical theater work the director.
It all begins in 1967 in the Munich Müllerstraße in Action Theatre. There, now housing a video arcade in the late 1960s avant-garde theater is here at home, a contrast to the great stages of the city. This does Fassbinder his first role in "Antigone," here he has for the first time as co-director of Büchner's "Leonce and Lena". Have read "All children of the world would" Leonce and Lena "by Georg Büchner: The feature is initially less than enthusiastic. You should only do not always public. This piece is beautiful, "blasphemes the Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
In this piece, a woman enters the stage of the theater Actions that will be later on Fassbinder muse Hanna Schygulla. She then studied philology in the ninth semester at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University. But the study does not fill it out, so she takes acting classes at night, where he met Cooper, is fascinated by him, the man who walks around in a leather jacket and Goethe admired. Very physical making the theater was the exact opposite to the constant analysis of the studies that she was sorry. Also Irm Herrmann tells how much she had impressed the first encounter with Fassbinder: For several hours he reads to her from a novel. You, the first civil works as a secretary comes over him into acting.
In June 1968, must include the action-theater due to financial difficulties. A little later, Cooper founded the group with his antiteater. Staged plays like Goethe's "Iphigenie en Tauride" will, Handke's "cries for help" and "Preparadise Sorry Now" by the master himself some time rehearsing the troops in the back room of the Wicked Witch pub in Schwabing. But the host throws out the troops. Lucrative customers is paramount. But even that does not paralyze the playfulness of the force. One guest in the workroom of the Chamber of games with "Anarchy in Bavaria." Cooper is at the Bremer Theater, considered then as the most innovative theater of the Federal Republic, brought, brings "The Coffeehouse" by Goldoni on stage. But at some point reaches the theater no longer Fassbinder: 1969 celebrates his first feature film "Love Is Colder Than Death" debut. The underground scene has arrived on the movie screen.

Arctic Monkeys to the QOTSA sound in 'Electricity', another new face B
Arctic Monkeys These guys do not get tired ever. They are like a factory of churros, there is no month that does not premiere new topic. If you previously discussed - and praise - the single 'RU Mine?', Now we do the same with the flip side of that very simple answer to the title of 'Electricity'. There are many listeners rip necessary fact of BBC Radio 1 (you have it via YouTube below) to find find the parallels between the sound of this issue with the stoner rock Queens Of The Stone Age, a band led by Josh Homme that produced previous "Humbug" by the band of Alex Turner.
It is the less interesting that the two lashes more sonic and crushing of the Arctic have been chosen to be the album / single to be released in the face of Record Store Day (April 21). Will you say that the makers of "Suck It And See" throw for more abrupt and crushing paths from now on? We'll see, well that would make us happy.
