Traditionally a new music year kicks off with the “Noorderslagweekend” in Groningen. First two days of Eurosonic followed by the saturday for the incrowd dutch music business at the Noorderslag festival itself. For the real music pioneer the Eurosonic festival is the thing to look for. With over 200 bands playing at 30 venues, it is the ultimate wet dream of every music sn0b. Below you can find the route which I and my brother in music have followed.

Which band is the sell-out of the year? While its easy to become subjective, lets make it objective.. using a moby equation, bob dylan?…..
Similar to a earlier gig of the Australian band Poedervinger, here’s another band that has not yet come our way (and hopefully other then the just reunited poedervinger will head our way), but is addictive as crack. Maybe this pots helps? PS. poederfinger is apparently that old it hasn’t yet been converted back from our pivot times to wp.

U ligt op zondag in uw warme bedje en u heeft zin in broodjes. Maar nog geen zin om op te staan, want u ligt lepeltje met uw lief. En zoals men “tussen ‘t stad en de grens” zegt, dát is echte liefde. Welkom in Stabroek. Waar?! Stabroek: een onooglijk gehucht in de buurt van Antwerpen. Maar ook en vooral: thuisbasis van Fixkes.

Hoei! Back by dope demand! (Nou ja, back by Sifco demand dan. Hij wist niet meer wat te kopen).
Niet alles is even fris uit de doos maar, naar mijn bescheiden mening, zeker wel het beluisteren waard. (Behalve dan als je ‘t niks vind). Geen door Herejezus gehoste previews meer daar ik mijn login kwijt ben en we tegenwoordig van iedere zichzelf respecterende artiest wel een MySpace kunnen vinden. Wellicht dat ik albums bespreek die hier al láng de revue hebben gepasseerd: sorry! Maar ik las van de week in de Triv’ dat als je alles op de interwebs wilt lezen je na 1 dag alweer 1 jaar verder van je doel verwijderd bent dan toen je begon, dus bij deze.
UPDATED!

Yes. The end is neigh. All websites that er to do are talking about only two things: Lindsay is using cocaine again, but fore all: BIRTNYE SPAERS will drop her new album soon. And boy. Will it Suck or What? Next week she’ll be lipsyncing her way through this slush, live, on the MTV awards. I say: down these songs and rehearse a lot, so you CAN JOIN HER!
More info and youtube links: here, here and here (and all other websites in the US, probably).
(thanks for the linkies, beefsteak!)
The endparty wasn’t there this year, but the extended truck parade did make up for it a bit. The clittenunion was in the scene too, because tits are bad and stuff (tttsss)
Some pictures here.

Death metal, death metal .. yes!
Yesterday evening Oslo Norway had some fucked up visitors. The american band Nunslaughter (pic left) played at the local studentclub Betong in the cellar of the Chateau Neuf building. The gig was organised by metal promotor South of Heaven. The organisation had put up three support acts! Value for money or…??

I don’t really know what to think of the new Spoon record. Why is it called Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga for instance? Is it a rebirth of some kind? Are they secretly smiling as we try to pronounce it in a clear way to the record store owner as we buy it? Is it because a matrix of 5 by 10 “Ga”s in your media player looks so nice? Anyway, it doesn’t make any sense to me…

To release one of the most anticipated and undoubtedly interesting sophomore albums of 2007 is a hard thing to do right. Arctic Monkeys passed with honors, Bloc Party and Maxïmo Park certainly did well, but what about Editors?
