<p>Her self-released single <em>We Know All About You</em>, was created in her bedroom using beer bottles, pans, and woks for percussion. News quickly spread through word of mouth about this new artist and soon after, she became the most played unsigned singer on British radio. Before releasing any records, she was booked in the U.S. to perform in New York at Barack Obama&#8217;s concert held at The MacCarren Park Pool. In 2009, she released her self-produced album <em><strong>Bone of My Bones</strong></em>. Ebony is seen regularly at music festivals around the world.</p>
<p>I love her unusual style and her electronic sound mixed with African influence. She is definitely someone to watch.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Auf dem on3 Festival gab’s mal wieder jede Menge neue musikalische Highlights zu entdecken. Sandra Brix, <a title="Mitarbeiter der P&#38;P Studios" href="http://ppstudios.de/index.php?id=57" target="_blank">Mitarbeiterin der P&#38;P Studios Audio-Agentur</a>, war am Samstag ab 19.30 Uhr im Funkhaus des <a title="BR" href="http://www.br-online.de/" target="_blank">Bayerischen Rundfunks</a> unterwegs und hat vom on3-Festival nur Positives zu berichten. Den <a title="ZEIT online" href="http://www.zeit.de/newsticker/2009/11/30/iptc-bdt-20091130-264-23144922xml" target="_blank">politisch unkorrekten Auftakt von Pete Doherty</a> hat Sandra nicht mitbekommen, da sie erst etwas später in das Studio gekommen ist um Kettcar zu erleben.  Zu dem Zeitpunkt hatte Pete Doherty bereits in altbewährter Betrunkenheit eines seiner bekannten Lieder gesungen, was natürlich gar nicht so schlecht klang.</p>
<div id="attachment_677" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://ppstudios.de/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-677" title="good_times_on3festival" src="http://ppstudios.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/good_times.jpg" alt="on3_Festival" width="300" height="288" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Party auf dem on3 Festival</p></div>
<p>Insgesamt haben <strong>17 Bands auf 3 Bühnen für 1.700 Besucher gespielt. </strong>„Mir tat es Samstagnacht schon Leid um jeden Live-Auftritt den ich verpasst habe. Obwohl die drei Studios nah beieinander liegen und man zügig von einer Band zur nächsten wechseln konnte, war es unmöglich nichts zu verpassen. Dafür war einfach zu viel geboten!“ schwärmt Sandra Brix sichtlich begeistert. Selbst die frischen (!!) Hotdog-Saucen seien „der Wahnsinn“ gewesen. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Toll am on3 Festival ist zudem dass die Bands selber mitfeiern. So kann man vor oder nach den Konzerten mit den Musikern locker ins Gespräch kommen oder gemeinsam tanzen.  Außerdem kann man CDs, LPs und  Merchandising-Produkte günstig erweben.</p>
<p>Besonders in Erinnerung geblieben ist Sandra das Konzert von <a title="Ebony Bones" href="http://www.myspace.com/ebonybones" target="_blank">Ebony Bones</a> mit ihrer mitreißenden, unfassbar aktiven Bühnenshow und abgedrehten Kostümen.  Da wurde so richtig abgerockt…</p>
<p>Aber auch Spiral Beach, Dobré &#38; Sepp Kennedy, Kleinmeister, Creme Fresh, und The Great Bertholinis haben die Hüften ordentlich ins schwingen gebracht und sollten hier deshalb nicht unerwähnt bleiben. (Alle Profile auf <a title="MySpace" href="http://www.myspace.com/" target="_blank">MySpace</a> zu finden).</p>
<p>Am besten ihr hört einfach selber mal rein auf der <a title="on3 Festival" href="http://www.br-online.de/jugend/on3-festival-2009-DID1259447832558/index.xml?_requestid=416835" target="_blank">on3 Fesival &#8211; Homepage</a> des BR. Dort könnt ihr auch alles nachlesen was Sandra (leider!) verpasst hat&#8230;<cite></cite></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Attention, le mois de novembre est historiquement un mois important pour les concerts et pour moi aussi. Cette année ne déroge pas du tout à la règle alors ouvrez grands les yeux (et les oreilles) parce que ça décape !! (désolé de ne pas avoir pu écrire avant mais j&#8217;espère que ceux qui voulaient voir <strong>Coeur de Pirate</strong> ou <strong>Vitalic</strong> ont fait ce qu&#8217;il fallait)</p>
<p>Je n&#8217;ai pas ajouté de sélection particulière pour <strong>Jazz d&#8217;Or 2009</strong> mais du 6 au 20 novembre, Strasbourg est envahie par des concerts de jazz de grande qualité. Tout le programme sur <a title="Officiel" href="http://www.jazzdor.com" target="_blank">www.jazzdor.com </a>!</p>
<p><em>Samedi 7 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Nouvelle Vague </strong>+ <strong>Melanie Pain</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>En voila un groupe français qui brasse du talent à tout va ! Les spécialistes de la reprise classe sont de retour avec un 3ème album et ça risque de valoir le détour. Quant à Melanie Pain, elle n&#8217;est autre qu&#8217;une des chanteuses attitrées du collectif et elle a fait quelques productions solo dans un style un poil retro.</p>
<p><em>Lundi 9 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Grand Corps Malade</strong><br />
Illiade</p>
<p>Le plus populaire des slammeurs français, très sympa à écouter pour ceux qui aiment le genre.</p>
<p><em>Jeudi 12 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Patrick Watson &#38; Wooden Arms Band</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>Attention : Enorme talent ! On avait déjà prévenu, il est déjà passé à Strasbourg et il a fait un show phénoménal mais bien trop court. Cette fois, il revient pour un set plus long. Vous êtes prévenus, c&#8217;est du très pointu.</p>
<p><em>Vendredi 13 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Ebony Bones </strong>+ <strong>Dub Pistols </strong>+ <strong>DJ Vadim<br />
</strong>La Laiterie</p>
<p>Pour avoir vu le show d&#8217;Ebony Bones cet été, je peux vous certifier que c&#8217;est haut en couleur et bourré d&#8217;energie ! Un sacré spectacle à voir. Musicalement, c&#8217;est très dense et ça part dans tous les sens, c&#8217;est du ton sur ton. DJ Vadim, signé chez Ninja Tune, et les Dub Pistols qui n&#8217;ont pas une sale réputation sur scène animeront le reste de la soirée.</p>
<p><em>Vendredi 13 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>The Bloody Beetroots</strong> + <strong>Elisa Do brasil<br />
</strong>La Laiterie</p>
<p>La soirée précédente n&#8217;est pas incompatible avec ces concerts là qui viennent plus tard dans la nuit. Une release album party d&#8217;un côté et un DJ set de furieux en vue. Un programme plus que correct pour lancer le WE !</p>
<p><em>Samedi 14 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Les Cowboys Fringants</strong><br />
Zénith</p>
<p>Les plus fêtards des québécois vont faire trembler les murs du Zénith. Un gros coup de coeur !</p>
<p><em>Samedi 14 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Grande nuit Argentine</strong><br />
L&#8217;orangerie</p>
<p>Nuit très spéciale dédiée à ce fabuleux pays et surtout à ses danses incroyables&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Samedi 14 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>INOX</strong><br />
Rhénus</p>
<p>Grosse soirée techno house avec des DJs tels que Josh Wink, Bob Sinclar, &#8230;</p>
<p><em>Mardi 17 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Marcel et son orchestre</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>Marcel restera éternellement Marcel, avec ses costumes de ouf, son ambiance déjantée football bière.</p>
<p><em>Jeudi 19 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>The Dodos</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>Ovni plutôt agréable à écouter mais pourtant pas évident d&#8217;aborder : une sorte de pop expérimentale et psychédélique&#8230; Surpenant !!</p>
<p><em>Samedi 21 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Miossec</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>Un songwriting de qualité, un rendu excellent sur scène, Miossec fait partie de cette ancienne génération qui a traversé les âges sans prendre une ride.</p>
<p><em>Mardi 24 Novembre</em><br />
<strong>Pura Fé<br />
</strong>Cheval Blanc</p>
<p>Soirée assez exceptionnelle avec l&#8217;ambassadrice de la nation indienne Tuscarora de Caroline du Nord qui va passer pour déployer des compositions qui risquent d&#8217;en faire voyager plus d&#8217;un dans les grands espaces&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Mercredi 25 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Indochine</strong><br />
Zénith</p>
<p>Est-il nécessaire de présenter le groupe de Nicolas ?</p>
<p><em>Jeudi 26 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Olivia Ruiz</strong><br />
Zénith</p>
<p>La petite a bien grandie pour pouvoir s&#8217;autoriser un Zénith. Tant mieux pour elle, au risque de se noyer sur une grande scène comme ça.</p>
<p><em>Jeudi 26 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Toy Dolls </strong>+ <strong>uncommonmenfrommars<br />
</strong>La Laiterie</p>
<p>Un grand classique de la scène punk avec un show survolté assuré. Malheureusement.</p>
<p><em>Jeudi 26 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Wild Beasts </strong>+ <strong>Dan Black</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>2 flèches montantes outre manche. Wild Beasts a sorti l&#8217;un des albums les plus remarqués de l&#8217;année et Dan Black, ex The Servant, fait partie de cette nouvelle vague d&#8217;electronica anglaise.</p>
<p><em>Vendredi 27 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Emilie Simon</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>Tout le monde sait que je suis fan d&#8217;Emilie et en plus, elle me sert un concert à domicile pour mon anniversaire ! C&#8217;est-y pas adorable ?! Pour ceux qui aiment ce qui se passe sur album, sachez que le spectacle sur scène vaut largement le détour aussi. Elle compte clairement parmi les artistes français les plus impressionnants de cette décennie.</p>
<p><em>Samedi 28 Novembre<br />
</em><strong>Wax Tailor</strong><br />
La Laiterie</p>
<p>La France est toujours à la pointe de l&#8217;électro mondiale et des petites perles comme Wax Tailor ne font que le confirmer. Un show vraiment très sympa à vivre, aussi raffiné que ses albums !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello. I&#8217;ve been seeing some great bands this summer. And it&#8217;s about time I put the photos up &#8211; see below photos of Ebony Bones, Treetop Flyers, The Vinyl Stitches and the Epstein. Each band has something different to offer &#8211; if you want visually exciting check out the pleasurable Ebony Bones who&#8217;s front lady looks like she might turn you into stone with a wink of the eye if you don&#8217;t move your booty on the dancefloor. The Treetop Flyers are way ahead in terms of musical talent within their genre &#8211; sporting an onstage jamfest that is intensely overwhelming. I had a tear in my eye. The Epstein are following suit and have a lot to offer although a lot softer &#8211; and for the psychedelic lovers out their The Vinyl Stitches are keeping the sounds of Brian Jones Town Massacre very much alive although they could be in danger of being too similar to the Brady Bunch on stage if they&#8217;re not careful..<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>She&#8217;s old school but Christy Turlington has always been one of my favorite super models!  Not sure what marketing scheme <a href="http://www.yslmanifesto.com/#/YSL_Manifesto_FW0910_trailer/">YSL</a> has for using her but I have no complaints..</p>
<p>&#8220;American supermodel Christy Turlington and Andrés Velencoso has been announced as the new face of Yves Saint Laurent. She will feature in the French luxury brand&#8217;s A/W advertising campaign, which launches in August. The campaign was photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and directed by Creative Director Stefano Pilati.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As always these days, I am running behind myself and only getting to this now&#8230;</p>
<p>That time of year again for a post-mortem of the Electric Picnic weekend with highlights and lowlights&#8230;quite a few highlights even if there weren&#8217;t as many new groups for me to catch this year.</p>
<p>Not much new in the setup of EP site either so it was fairly straightforward to run between the gigs&#8230;although the mud did mean that I got a little bit more exercise than I had intended!</p>
<h2>Friday</h2>
<p>Hit the massive tailback on the way down and with being in a campervan had to wait to be towed into the site&#8230;well I should say that the mates had to wait since we were close enough to the gate and I legged it in!  Had already missed Peter Broderick and I wasn&#8217;t going to miss any more&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>The Temper Trap</strong>- Crawdaddy. Had liked some of their tunes beforehand but wasn&#8217;t convinced of the full album.  Saw most of the set and that was turned on its head- they have a great vibe and put energy into each and every track.  Of course Sweet Disposition was the one that everybody knew and it was excellent live.  Catch them if you can!</p>
<p><strong>Villagers</strong>- Body &#38; Soul. Heard the blog love for them but never caught them around town- feck me what a great voice the lead singer has and great instrumentation.  Have to catch them again!</p>
<p><strong>Lykkey Li</strong>- Crawdaddy.  Can sum up in one word-disappointed.  Maybe it was just the tune she was playing when I came in but lacking energy and no vibe what-so-ever.  When she asked the crowd if that was too slow for them I think she could sense it but the next tune was just as lifeless.  Maybe too much touring but based on that I wouldn&#8217;t be catching her again.  Thankfully her Button Factory gig was excellent.</p>
<p><strong>Major Lazer</strong>- Little Big Tent. Maybe expectations too high but distinctly average tunes and only stayed for the 2.</p>
<p><strong>Dark Room Notes</strong>- Thisispopbaby.  Still love their sound and even though the sound was a bit booming in the tent they still have the energy after the last couple of years.  Only stayed for the first three but great energy and beats as always.  Seeing how I am probably their number 3 fan/stalker at this stage  (my two sons being 1 and 2) I won&#8217;t go on anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Efterklang</strong>- Cosby Stage.  There appeared to be some sound issues when I first came in so they hadn&#8217;t started playing yet.  Unfortunately because of that the set seemed rushed and none of the lingering on the instruments that is their trademark.  No sign of the old battered instruments either that they would use for a distinctive sound which for me was noticable.  Some new tunes although only one really seemed to work.  Still a good set but disappointed they didn&#8217;t come off better.  As with Ms Ly the Button Factory gig was a hundred times better.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>MGMT</strong>- Main Stage.  Have always missed them in town with all the hype and thankfully so since they only have the two good songs.  Was walking past the main stage and when I heard them I kept on walking.</p>
<p><strong>Duckworth Lewis Method</strong>- Crawdaddy.  Like Neil Hannons voice so popped in there- only stayed for the one tune in the end since it seemed mawkish and over done.</p>
<p><strong>Dinosaur Jr</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Again only popped the head in and it was pretty much out just as quick- maybe it was the tune and they got better later but not pleasant on the ears.</p>
<p><strong>Buraka Som Sistema</strong>- Little Big Tent.  Two drummers-hell yeah!  Great tunes, great beats and rocked my socks off!  One girl with hands that were a little too &#8216;friendly&#8217; though and embarrassingly was asked by another guy to get &#8216;my girl&#8217; under control since she was grabbing everybody.  That aside the best set of the night!</p>
<p><strong>Diplo</strong>- Little Big Tent.  Was expecting to stay here for a while but to be honest fairly standard dance beats and certainly none of his remixes so only ended up staying for a few tunes.</p>
<p><strong>Orbital</strong>- Main Stage.  Ho hum- I liked Orbital but maybe it was the sound at the main stage- it wasn&#8217;t long before I was walking again.</p>
<p><strong>Rodrigo Y Gabriela</strong>- Electric Arena.  First time seeing them live and have to say they are captivating- great chords and beats and such energy!  The visuals of them playing from unusual angles on the screens behind them really added to their performance- might not be my cup of tea to listen to at home but live I would certainly catch them again.</p>
<p><strong>Japanese Popstars</strong> DJ set- Little Big Tent.  Que to actually get in this one and again overly friendly girl-must be something in the water around this tent;-)  Wouldn&#8217;t know their tunes but mate said some of them were their own and have to say they have a great vibe and energy.</p>
<p>Arcadia &#38; Pussy Parlour- ended up between the two of these with the mates and danced the night away&#8230;well until half 3 at least!  Just as well I ran into the mates since I didn&#8217;t know where the campervan was parked!</p>
<h2>Saturday</h2>
<p>Noon-ish tweetup with some twitter heads @FrankieP @NiallOK @bngr @ anthonthymcg @jasonroe @benkenealy @dinglesurf @debbiemet and others I will have to come back and add.  First time to meet some and a catchup with others- chatty bunch both online and off!</p>

<p><strong>Cap Pas Cap</strong>- Electric Arena.  Excellent off kilter tunes as always and the first time I have heard them with the new female lead.  Kind of missed the old male lead but have to say that she has as much energy and her voice is just as catchy with the tune.  Great crowd there for them considering the size of the tent and time of day.</p>
<p><strong>Tunng</strong>- Main Stage.  Have been trying to catch these guys for the last few years.   Surprised they were on the main stage just as much as they were.  Some great sounds from them and all my favourites but the synth was far too loud and drowning out the rest of the instruments.</p>
<p><strong>Julie Feeney</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Only caught the last half but feck me that was good- such a sweet voice and with the strings playing she is just captivating.  A must for the Sugar Club gig in Oct!</p>
<p><strong>The XX-</strong> Electric Arena.<strong> </strong>Having listened to the full album and really only liked the one tune Crystalized I wasn&#8217;t particularly looking forward to their set.  Unfortunately the tunes seemed just as lifeless live and I left after Crystalized which was thankfully very early in the set!  Ran into few more mates though so it wasn&#8217;t a total loss!</p>
<p><strong>Low Anthem</strong>- Cosby Stage.   Another group I have been trying to catch over the last year and it was worth it.  Sound wasn&#8217;t the best in the tent and they didn&#8217;t play my favourites Charlie Darwin and Ticket Taker but still a great set.  Still not convinced of the rockier numbers but the slow ones really show the quality of the voices.  Hopefully back somewhere more intimate soon!</p>
<p><strong>Marina &#38; The Diamonds</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Note to artists- do not mention <em>possible</em> wardrobe malfunctions involving a desert animal at the beginning of your set since you will have the crowd waiting for it to happen!  So trying NOT to concentrate on the possible camel toe and her singing instead- damn she has a great voice and can she belt it out on some of the tunes.  Had heard some of her tunes a while back and they still sound fresh and invigorating.</p>
<p><strong>Bea Band</strong>- Body &#38; Soul.  Well I wasn&#8217;t up in Body &#38; Soul for them but for Tiny Vipers-  an intrepid gig goer asked the sound guy what the story was and thankfully I then asked her- Tiny Vipers was postponed till the next day.  Have to say this was the pivotal moment of the weekend and with one conversation leading to another I now have an excellent new friend who I spent the rest of the weekend with running from tent to tent.   As to the band I hardly noticed them- not really into traditional music but served as a good backdrop to the chat!</p>
<p><strong>Lisa Hannigan</strong>- Main Stage.  Went to meetup with another group and poor Lisa seemed lost on stage- she was giving it her all but to be honest the sound was just not up to it and she would have been much better in a smaller tent.</p>
<p>Bat for Lashes<strong>-</strong> cancelled and major disappointment.  David Kitt replaced her but not the same at all at all.  Have memories of her from two EP&#8217;s ago at least.</p>
<p><strong>James Murphy</strong>- of LCD Soundsystem- Little Big Tent.  Went along given who he is but he was playing fairly average dance tunes.  Of course you want to hear his own stuff more so we just headed off.</p>
<p><strong>Brian Wilson</strong>- Main Stage.  Of course went to hear some Beach Boys classics and the band he has with him were bloody good with the sound.  As for Mr. Wilson I have to say I felt sorry for him, being up close enough I could see that he was reading the lyrics from a monitor and not even particularly singing the lyrics but saying them.  He was propped up behind a keyboard but his hands were just hanging by his side and he was more a bystander with his own tunes.  Have to say the vibe was good though and the 5 tunes we stayed for were good thanks to the band.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Dark Room Notes</strong>- Thisispopbaby.  Yep- saw them again since I had said I would pop down on the Saturday to one of the band members.  Stayed for the first three again- same set and same great vibe!</p>
<p><strong>Explosions In The Sky</strong>- Crawdaddy.  Post-rock when played badly is dreadful but no worries here since fucking hell  they nailed each and every moment!  Best set of EP and by god I hope that they are back in Dublin soon!  The first time of the weekend that I heard &#8216;one more tune&#8217; which saying at a festival is always a waste of breath&#8230;but for once I wish they had!</p>
<p><strong>Chic</strong>- Electric Arena.  Popped in there quickly for the last of their set and dancetastic it was- great vibe in the tent and dancing with randomers.</p>
<p><strong>Four Tet</strong>- Crawdaddy.  Some really lovely dark dance tunes being put out and yet again more moving!</p>
<p><strong>2 Many Dj&#8217;s</strong>- Main Stage.  As with most of the main stage acts this weekend I kept on walking- sound pumping out but just a bit too much of a rave feel for me.</p>
<p><strong>Tunng</strong>- Body &#38; Soul.  Re-hash of their earlier set in much better surroundings and sound.  Synth not as loud and you could hear the excellent playing by the rest of the group.  Freak folk it may be but damn good tunes and think it was the tune Soup that was played in a heavier style and extended.  Bullets to end and what a great punch it has!</p>
<p>Village Green- ended up there with friends of friend and boggied the night away with a great mix of tunes&#8230;closer to 4 that night methinks!</p>
<h2>Sunday</h2>
<p><strong>Tiny Vipers</strong>- Body &#38; Soul.  Wet start and friend and I the only two there for a couple of minutes with a freezing looking Tiny Vipers up on stage.  Thankfully a few more came and after some banter with her it turns out she was suppose to be on at 6 in the afternoon but it had been scheduled wrong.  Aside from her freezing and being slightly worried about electrocuting herself with all the rain she had a great set- simple playing on the guitar with some sublime vocals.  She will be around Europe for a bit so hopefully back here soon for an indoor set soon!</p>
<p><strong>First Aid Kit</strong>- Body &#38; Soul.  How sweet is sweet? Listen to these girls and you will know!  Great harmonies  and some good tunes.  They seemed slightly at odds with the sound crew behind them but otherwise a great set!</p>
<p><strong>J. Tillman</strong>- Body &#38; Soul.  Still in Body &#38; Soul since some other friends to chat with came along- a guy was chipping in a few bits and pieces into the conversation as well and funnily enough I found out later that he is a friend of a friend- small country as always!  As to the tunes from Mr. Tillman- an excellent voice and some low key tunes only stayed for a few but if he is every touring solo without the Foxes then he would be one to catch.</p>
<p><strong>Micachu And The Shapes</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Damn-what an excellent voice!  Much stronger live than on the album with all the quirkiness there.  Great tunes but only stayed for the first half- wish there wasn&#8217;t a conflict but hopefully she will be back around soon.</p>
<p><strong>Hypnotic Brass Ensemble</strong>- Little Big Tent.  Oh deary me-friend told me she had 3 missed calls from me during this set&#8230;and she was standing in front of me.  Was I moving that much?  Damn straight I was!  Not the type of tunes I would listen to at home but man when they are played live they get you moving.  Think it was 7 brass players and the drummer and with an excellent mix of jazz and hip-hop you would have to be a stone in order not to move.  Great vibe in the tent and definitely one of the best of the weekend.</p>
<p><strong>Okkervil River</strong>- Crawdaddy.  Caught them before in town at what turned out to be a dreadful venue for them.  Maybe it was timing but they didn&#8217;t sound that great in the tent and I honestly couldn&#8217;t stick it so stayed for the one tune and skidaddled.</p>
<p><strong>The Acorn</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Hadn&#8217;t heard of them before but that is certainly rectified now!  Another two drummer setup and there were some great layered tunes there.  One that I will definitely have to check out!</p>
<p><strong>Ebony Bones</strong>- Little Big Tent.  Wow- anybody looking for a show with some energy go no further!  Great powerful voice and bouncing around the stage along with her two shortly statured dancers.  Only stayed for a few but wish I had stayed for the full set.</p>
<p><strong>Simian Mobile Disco</strong>- Electric Arena.   Packed tent and middling tunes so not feeling the vibe at all- said hello to the mate I met there and skiddadled.</p>
<p><strong>Bell Orchestre</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Ohh just what I needed at this time of the day- some great instrumental modern classical tunes to clear the mind- didn&#8217;t see full set but they are quite good and tunes did the trick.</p>
<p><strong>Florence And The Machine</strong>- Electric Arena.  Oh I hate hype but it was Flo who I saw last year and really enjoyed her set.  I think that her new album has been overproduced but I still enjoy her earlier tunes- thankfully Kiss With A Fist was the second one up so left the masses after that for some peace in Leviathan.</p>
<p><strong>Fleet Foxes</strong>- Electric Arena.  Another popular band of the moment and I can understand why- some great tunes there!  Unfortunately the problem with being popular in a big tent is that you are going to have the audience singing along to all of the tunes and that they were- tis a bit of a problem when you have 5 part harmonies and a crowd that can&#8217;t hit any of them.  Stuck it out this time but really wished I didn&#8217;t- am sure they were a hundred times better at Vicar St the following night.</p>
<p><strong>The Jimmy Cake</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Only there for the last half of a song but this being The Jimmy Cake it still lasted about 10 mins.  Good size crowd that were getting into though!</p>
<p><strong>Passion Pit</strong>- Cosby Stage.  Waited for them but still a bit too early for them- went off to discover who the surprise act in Body &#38; Soul was and by the time I came back the tent was bonkers.  Stayed for half a tune anyway but there was just something about the voice that was cloying and seemed to be at odds with my tinnitus which was not a good thing!<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble</strong>- Body &#38; Soul.  The  surprise act which I came back to- good crowd and vibe but not as good as their earlier set.  Seemed like they gave the earlier one their all and were slightly tired for this one.  The only time I have heard the crowd say &#8216;one more tune&#8217; at EP and one actually being played!</p>
<p><strong>Ebony Bones</strong>- Thisispopbaby.  Since I had missed the rest of her earlier set I wanted to catch her again.  Unfortunately this was not the tent for her- something about the booming sound that was covering her voice so didn&#8217;t stay for too long.</p>
<p>Quite a bit of free time here actually so with friends of friend again chatting away- met some other new friends as well including a member of <a title="DownloadMusic.ie" href="http://www.downloadmusic.ie/therumours" target="_blank">The Rumours</a> who is a sound guy indeed.</p>
<p><strong>Anonymous Androgynous</strong>- Body &#38; Soul.  Just happened to be there when they were on and they have a great buzz about them- long time since I have seen a flute being played on stage!</p>
<p><strong>The Rye</strong>- Salty Dog.  Wow- at a very late hour on the Sunday night trying to find the Salty Dog was a challenge!  Made it there and found the friends and even more friends there so this was the spot to be!  More of an Irish rock/trad band, The Rye were rockin away until the early hours and they were pretty damn good.  Not what I would usually go to listen to at a festival but the tunes just kept coming and everybody kept dancing!  Think they had about 6 last tunes since they kept on being given more time.</p>
<p>DJ Poppy was then on with some great 50 and 60s tunes to rock us into the wee hours of the morning- think it was about 5 when we finally left there to go crawling back to the campsites but man that was good!</p>
<p>So another year over and some new groups to catch up on!  Not so many this year which is probably just as well as I have been dying with a cold the day after I came back.  As much as I love EP the festivals in Spain are looking better by the minute for next year&#8230;warmer, drier and cheaper with the same great groups so it might be a runner!</p>
<p>Have to say though that no matter the weather, EP always has a great vibe and it was good to chat with friends old and new!</p>

<description><![CDATA[EN CORRECTION Et voilà. La fameuse review de ses trois éprouvants jours. Je commence à peine à réali]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1831 aligncenter" title="759_rock-en-seine-2009-35711" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/759_rock-en-seine-2009-35711.jpg" alt="759_rock-en-seine-2009-35711" width="400" height="550" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>EN CORRECTION</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Et voilà. La fameuse review de ses trois éprouvants jours. Je commence à peine à réaliser ce que je me suis pris dans la gueule. Bien entendu, je ne vous cacherais pas que je suis quelques déçues de la programmation, mais je l&#8217;avais déjà dis auparavant mais le plaisir est intacte. Je crois que je vais devoir vous racontez tout ca, en résumé car sinon ça serait biiiieeen trop long.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pour une fois, nous sommes une vrai communauté à se retrouver sur le site de RES, ce détail peut paraitre futile mais cela change complètement mon point de vue physique et émotionnel(mot pompeux assumé) des concerts de ce festival. Cet année, pas de sacrifices ; on circule sur toutes les scènes, on se retrouve tout derrière, on écoute même des concerts assis à regarder les écran géant. Bien sur, je ne vous mentirais pas, je préfère de loin être la groupie qui se fait défoncer au 5eme rang&#8230;mais qu&#8217;il en soit ainsi, les festivals ne sont pas des concerts.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Vendredi 28</strong></span></span></h1>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-1819 aligncenter" title="station_metro_duroc_durock" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/station_metro_duroc_durock.jpg" alt="station_metro_duroc_durock" width="480" height="360" /></strong></span>Sur-excités, nous traversons Paris en toute hâte, étant -<em>bien entendu</em>- en retard. Stressés, on vérifie la place 100fois, enfilons notre bracelet, courons, sautillons vers la grande scène. Nous arrivons à quelques chansons prêt ,pile à l&#8217;heure pour <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Just Jack</strong></span>. Ce petit Jack, je voulais le voir il y a bien longtemps et le voici donc, se déambulant sur la scène, avec une simplicité presque déconcertante. <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1822" title="Just Jack @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-Cloud" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/3866656969_92bb077517.jpg" alt="Just Jack @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-Cloud" width="288" height="191" />On est vite emporter par les mélodies accrocheuses et pratiquons le pas de danse sans gêne. Le feeling  passe irrémédiablement bien et on ne peut que saluer cette belle performance. Le premier concert de Rock En Seine est  donc une réussite complète, on regrettera seulement ce fameux <em>Writer&#8217;s Block</em> que nous avons lamentablement loupés&#8230;   On se déplace ensuite vers la scène de la cascade pour voir <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Keane</strong></span>, groupe dont je me fiche éperdument et dont la musique m&#8217;horripile plus qu&#8217;autre chose. On chante en phoque les tubes -en yaourt-, on admire la symphonie des couleurs portés par le chanteur, on rigole bien mais au final  ce set est totalement dénué d&#8217;intérêt. Pas franchement ennuyeux, pas franchement passionnant. Un concert insipide. On se rapproche de la scène pour le tant attendu set des <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Yeah Yeah Yeahs</strong></span>. Frou-frou et paillettes installés, les YYYs  se présentent gracieusement grâce à <em>Runaway</em> mais ce n&#8217;est qu&#8217;avec <em>Heads Will Roll</em> que le concert décolle vraiment : <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1823" title="Yeah Yeah Yeahs @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/3867452422_464a319322.jpg" alt="Yeah Yeah Yeahs @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-" width="276" height="413" />Les pogos éclatent et les sourires s&#8217;affichent. J&#8217;entends pour la première fois de ma vie &#8220;<em>Maps</em>&#8221; comme ça, c&#8217;est juste magnifique. Bien entendu ce sont les titres du 3eme albums qui priment mais le choix de la setlist colle parfaitement. On assiste à 45 min bien secoués et ma foi, très bon, même si on regrettera qu&#8217;ils soient programmés en plein jour . Voici le temps de l&#8217;énorme pause. On regarde de loin <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Passion Pit</strong></span> , puis <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Madness</strong></span>&#8230; aucun ne retiendra mon attention plus que ça. On se tient à l&#8217;écart des tumultes de <strong>Vampire Weekend</strong> mais ne peut qu&#8217;admirer l&#8217;énergie s&#8217;en dégageant. <em>A punk</em> et <em>Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa</em> nous décrocheront quelques sautillements sur un set moins dansant que je ne l&#8217;aurais cru mais néanmoins efficace. Il est venu alors le temps pour <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Bloc Party</strong></span> de montrer ce qu&#8217;ils valent sur scène. On est quelque peu secoué mais l&#8217;air reste tout à fait respirable, l&#8217;ambiance y est mais le cœur pas vraiment. Ce soir là, mon esprit était fixé sur Oasis (ahahah riez allez y). Bloc Party fut bon mais je crois ne vraiment pas aimer ce groupe malgré tout le talent que je leur reconnait.  Les tubes fond du bien mais ne m&#8217;impressionnent pas plus que ça. Je m&#8217;en vais sur <em>Mercury</em>, laissant  <em>This Modern Love</em> derrière moi, craignant que le p<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1824" title="Bloc Party @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-Cloud" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/3867458586_13eb85cc63.jpg?w=199" alt="Bloc Party @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-Cloud" width="199" height="300" />remier message de Kele Orekere sur le la possibilité qu&#8217;Oasis ne joue pas soit verdict. J&#8217;arrive sur la grande scène me trouve une petite place sympathique au milieu de la fosse. Le logo n&#8217;est pas installé et rien ne semble prêt. Un mec débarque. &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHcywqk-Zbw">Bonsoir, Oasis n&#8217;existe plus</a>&#8220;, &#8220;A big Huge Fight&#8221;. On n&#8217;y croit pas vraiment, on se dit que c&#8217;est une blague&#8230;Puis les grands écrans affichent un message et les insultes fusent.Le mec rajoutera : &#8221; <em>On est bien d&#8217;accord</em>&#8220;, tout est dit. On se casse. Madness et sa house in middle of the street peuvent se faire voir(d&#8217;ailleurs, ils me semblent qu&#8217;Oasis ne voulait pas jouer dans le même festival que Madness&#8230;voilà ca c&#8217;est fait), on compense par des churros et assistons au live de <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Vitalic</strong></span> qui offre lui aussi son lot de compensation&#8230;mais pas suffisante pour ce soir. Je ne réalisais pas qu&#8217;Oasis se soient séparés et même encore maintenant. Je ne doute pas de leur reformation mais le <em>quand</em> reste un mystère. On s&#8217;en va un peu déçue, presque pas fatigués&#8230;</p>

<h1 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Samedi 29</strong></span></span></h1>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La vie continue mais difficilement. En me réveillant, je garde un gout amère de cette première journée et la programmation de ce deuxième jour me laisse un peu de marbre. J&#8217;ai mal de partout et n&#8217;a pas beaucoup dormis, la journée s&#8217;annonce chaotique. On arrive à l&#8217;heure -<em>cette fois-ci</em>- pour<strong> <span style="color:#ffcc00;">The Noisettes</span></strong> qui nous offre une très belle prestation. Le temps passe et le set tient bien la route dans une humeur assez dansante (et je ne parle pas des acrobaties de  la chanteuse). Conquise mais pas forcément extatique, j&#8217;applaudis poliment et me rapproche de la scène pour le concert d&#8217;<span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Ebony Bones</strong></span>. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1814" title="Ebony Bones @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-Clou" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/3870431914_397e1804dd.jpg" alt="Ebony Bones @ Rock en Seine 2009, Domaine National de Saint-Clou" width="313" height="470" />C&#8217;est lorsque cette dernière monte sur scène que l&#8217;on peut alors admirer les costumes soignés de tous les musiciens. Quant au  concert en lui même, ça reste bien meilleur que l&#8217;album je vous rassure mais le problème reste exactement le même ; le rythme est exactement le même sur toutes les chansons. On a vite les oreilles qui gonflent et les boules quies nous occulte complètement la voix d&#8217;Ebony bones. Ils ne feront même pas <em>Guess We&#8217;ll Always Have Ny</em>. Bref, Ebony Bones ça a du potentiel mais ca reste assez lourd et on a vite fait de passer à une autre scène.  Nous arrivons , alors, à la moyenne scène pour assister au set déganté des <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Dananananaykroyd</strong></span>. On reste inerte mais l&#8217;ambiance avait l&#8217;air d&#8217;être tout à fait à bonne température et <em>Some Dresses</em> fait un acte de présence tout à fait admirable à mon grand plaisir! Je fuis les Horrors pour vadrouiller sur le site de Rock En Seine et me dirigeant vers le lieu où se jouera plus tard les<strong> Offspring</strong>. Toujours assez loin de la scène, on attend patiemment l&#8217;arrivée de ce groupe mythique alors que d&#8217;autre préféreront des horreurs. C&#8217;est avec <em>You&#8217;re Gonna Go Far, Kid</em> single du petit dernier, que les Offspring entame le set. Le titre est si efficace que personne ne peut y résister et c&#8217;est une tempête de sable engendrée par les sautillements des fans en émoi qui s&#8217;élèvent  dans le ciel.  Une ambiance dingue se propage dans la foule, une espèce de folie d&#8217;adolescents dégénérés (manquerait plus que les Van&#8217;s&#8230;que mes pieds regrettent amèrement), on se laisse facilement prendre dans un pogo et ne rechigne pas sur quelques bousculades amicales. Les tubes s&#8217;enchainent, on break avec un pauvre petit morceau au piano qui nous fera tous pitié mais pas franchement désagréable malgré quelques rires étouffés. Finalement, on ne voit plus le temps passé et le set s&#8217;achève déjà.  Ce n&#8217;est que quand on s&#8217;arrête de sautiller que l&#8217;on s&#8217;aperçoit que nos jambes ne tiennent plus grand chose. Les Offspring m&#8217;ont tué, car je vous le dis, fan de rock indé branchouille, C&#8217;ÉTAIT DE LA BOMBE!! Malgré mon état de décomposition, Je pars toute sautillante vers la deuxième scène pour retrouver <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Calvin Harris</strong></span>. Et c&#8217;est <em>Merry Making At My Place</em> qui m&#8217;aidera à me faufiler dans les premiers rangs au milieu. Je remarque alors l&#8217;énorme différence dans le fait d&#8217;être devant, on se fait littéralement péter la gueule&#8230;mais ça a du bon avec Calvin.  Cependant, malgré l&#8217;ambiance survoltée de la foule, je mets quelques temps à me mettre dans l&#8217;ambiance. Quelques chansons plus tard, le discours change totalement. Calvin Harris en concert, c&#8217;est comme une tuerie organisé par le syndicat du tube. L&#8217;ambiance est moite et surexcité. Je remarque que les nouvelles chansons (et particulièrement <em>Flashback</em>) sont cruellement efficaces contre tout attente. Je décide de m&#8217;éloigner un peu pendant l&#8217;immonde &#8220;<em>I&#8217;m Not Alone</em>&#8221; qui conclura cet excellent set avec un étonnant dénouement. Grosse déception cependant, pas de <em>Dance Wiv Me</em>. Pas grave on repassera (en concert le 12 novembre à l&#8217;Elysée-Montmartre!). A partir de là tout devient flou. La fatigue me prend, je titube presque comme un mort vivant, je regarde les <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Birdy Nam Nam</strong></span>, l&#8217;œil distrait. Bien meilleurs qu&#8217;à la GNP, les BBN n&#8217;arrivent toujours pas à me rallier à leur cause. On finit par allez se coucher avec une magnifique affiche de Dead Weather en poche&#8230;</p>

</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1805" title="5492_130811731331_35370426331_2952627_4348043_n" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/5492_130811731331_35370426331_2952627_4348043_n1.jpg?w=200" alt="5492_130811731331_35370426331_2952627_4348043_n" width="160" height="241" />Nous décidons de dormir plus longtemps que prévu, car ce soir, c&#8217;est le dernier. On loupe malheureusement Metric et arrivons pile pour les <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Eagles Of Death Metal</strong></span> qui livrent son show rock n&#8217;roll avec une telle classe qu&#8217;on ne peut que être charmé (Je vous avouerais que la moustache y est pour beaucoup&#8230;), on retiendra bien evidemment l&#8217;intervention de Josh Homme qui viendra en express nous envoyer <em>Wannabe in L.A</em>. Il est vrai que je ne connais pas vraiment ce groupe mais ce fut une très bonne prestation, de quoi me rassurer pour la première partie des Arctic Monkeys au Zenith qu&#8217;ils assureront. Nous migrons vers la moyenne scène afin d&#8217;admirer le supergroupe mystère &#8220;Les Petits Pois&#8221; qui ne sont rien d&#8217;autre que <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Them Crooked Vultures</strong></span> dont je ne vous présente plus les membres. Ils délivrent alors un set puissant, métallique et virils (disons le). Tandis que certaines mélodies sont très efficaces, on reste surtout ébahis par tant de prestance et de technique (David Eric Grohl est un tueur) mais s&#8217;en est trop pour mes tympans et je décide d&#8217;abandonner les gros son heavy pour sautiller vers les futures pitoyables <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>MGMT</strong></span>.<img class="size-full wp-image-1808 alignnone" title="them-crooked-vultures-01" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/them-crooked-vultures-011.jpg" alt="them-crooked-vultures-01" width="480" height="319" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Vous me demanderez (ou pas) pourquoi suis-je allée les voir alors qu&#8217;ils m&#8217;avaient tellement déçus lors de la première partie des Kings Of Leon&#8230;et bien, je ne saurais pas vous répondre. J&#8217;avais peut-être encore un espoir que la voix du chanteur ait mué, que le tympo s&#8217;accélère, que l&#8217;étincelle &#8220;MGMT, groupe de l&#8217;Année 2008&#8243; resplendisse à Saint-Cloud, mais il n&#8217;en est rien. Ils débutent leur set avec deux nouvelles chansons minables. Ce n&#8217;est que plus tard avec <em>The Youth</em>, qu&#8217;on arrivera à bouger quelques membres. Suit <em>Electric Feel</em> ralentis et complètement fade. Je crois avoir entendu <em>Time To Pretend</em>, qui contrairement au CD, me fait un peu plus bouger(+1), mais c&#8217;est avec un ignoble <em>Pieces Of What</em> que je craque et décide de partir. J&#8217;entends <em>Kids</em> au loin, et je n&#8217;ai définitivement aucun regret. MGMT, plus jamais en concert. Nous décidons de nous enfuir afin de se placer pour les <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>Klaxons</strong></span>, le concert que j&#8217;attends le plus de cet édition de rock en seine. Car voyez-vous, les Klaxons c&#8217;est un peu mon premier &#8220;super-concert&#8221;, tout fut parfait ce 9 novembre 2007 et c&#8217;est avec une certaine appréhension d&#8217;être déçu que j&#8217;attends l&#8217;ancien &#8220;groupe de l&#8217;année&#8221; qui n&#8217;a définitivement rien à envie aux rigolos de la grande scène. Voilà, on s&#8217;immerge dans le mode de vie des groupies que l&#8217;on avait abandonné ils y a quelques années avec les premiers signes de l&#8217;age adulte. Toutes ses années d&#8217;évolution balayées en une fraction de seconde. Une fraction de seconde où trois zigottos rentre sur une scène posé comme ça à Saint-Cloud, près de Paris. Les Klaxons en concert c&#8217;est une sorte de transe général, intense et magnifique. On entend les sirènes de <em>Atlantis To Interzone</em> qui nous chauffent à blanc dés la première seconde. Les tubes s&#8217;enchainent et chaque chanson donne son lot de plaisir et, bien entendu, <em>Magick</em> reste le point culminant du set. Les nouveaux titres sont placés avec justesse et se révèlent d&#8217;une efficacité surprenante. A confirmer à la sortie de ce deuxième album tant attendu. Bref, vous l&#8217;aurez compris j&#8217;ai kiffé ma race. Autant vous dire qu&#8217;après ça, nous étions un peu blasés, accomplis et satisfaits. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1812" title="prodigy" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/prodigy.jpg" alt="prodigy" width="288" height="433" />Bien sur, nous nous dirigions vers la grande scène où s&#8217;apprêtaient à rentrer sur scène la tête d&#8217;affiche de festival : <span style="color:#ffcc00;"><strong>The Prodigy</strong></span>. Je vous avouerais que je ne tenais plus vraiment debout après ces trois jours de festival et la rave géant dans laquelle s&#8217;était plongé rock en seine me laisser un peu sur le carreau. Bien sur, c&#8217;était énorme, bien sur j&#8217;ai aimé, mais vous dire que s&#8217;est passé tout seul serait vous mentir. Ce fut bien court, le son me fatiguait mais l&#8217;ambiance est dingue. Tout le monde se font dans une transe à grande échelle, les corps s&#8217;entrechoquent et s&#8217;écroulent dans tous les sens, dans une folie collective presque jouissive. Prodigy, en concert, c&#8217;est exactement comme vous l&#8217;imaginez en beaucoup mieux. C&#8217;est en ratant sa correspondance à Duroq qu&#8217;on se rend compte que la nuit peut apporter son lot de surprise&#8230;une belle fin, je dirais.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Rock en Seine 2009</strong>, <strong>ou le split d&#8217;Oasis en quasi-direct</strong>. C&#8217;est ce que tout le monde retiendra, et moi aussi, évidemment, mais je retiendrai d&#8217;autres chose, bien évidemment.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Comment tout résumer ? Je crois que ce n&#8217;est pas vraiment possible. l&#8217;ambiance en elle même est déjà unique, et c&#8217;est je crois, l&#8217;endroit en France où la population rousse (HAUT LES CŒURS !) est le plus représentée en France. Cette considération ethnologique sans grand intérêt mise à part, je vais sans doute faire un article chronologique.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On arrive donc le vendredi 28 vers 15h30. <strong>On est à la bourre, on court dans les couloirs de métro, sur le pont de Saint Cloud, on a l&#8217;air con</strong>. On passe nos pass, Charlotte oublie de prendre un bracelet, retour en arrière, encore plus à la bourre. On arrive environ15 minutes après le début de <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Just Jack</em></span></span>, sur la grande scène. On est pas super bien placés, mais c&#8217;est quand même super bien fait, <strong>ça envoie, ça danse, un bon début</strong>. On enchaîne ensuite à 16h15 avec <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Keane</span></span></em>, sur la scène de la Cascade. Alors là, <strong>sors ta corde mon ami, et pend toi</strong>. C&#8217;était assez nul. On a pu admirer la tête de fesses (ass face, yeah !) du chanteur, qui était tout rouge, tellement glamour. Pas terrible donc. La suite sur la même scène, donc la scène de la Cascade, avec les <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Yeah Yeah Yeahs</span></span></em>. Et bah dis donc ! Il faut un peu de temps à Karen O pour rentrer dedans, mais alors, <strong>quand c&#8217;est parti, c&#8217;est parti !</strong> <em>Heads Will Roll</em> a lancé le début des mouvements de foule et du pogo géant qu&#8217;a été le reste du set. <strong>Géant en fait</strong>. Là, une pause était nécessaire, sinon on risquait de mourir plus tôt que prévu. Une pause, donc. La reprise avec <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Bloc Party</span></span></em>, à la Cascade, à 21h. J&#8217;ai écouté de loin, ça faisait plaisir. Et à 22h, sur la grande scène, <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Oasis</em></span></span>. On arrive, on se place correctement, et un pauvre mec arrive sur la scène, nous fait avec une voix de canard : &#8220;B<em>onsouèèère. Sur le site de RES, Liam et Noel se sont disputé, le groupe n&#8217;existe plus, le concert est annulé, le reste de la tournée aussi.</em>&#8221; Réaction du public : &#8220;C<em>ASSE TOIII ! REMBAAAALLE !</em>&#8221; Et le monsieur d&#8217;enchaîner en anglais avant d&#8217;allumer les écrans : &#8220;<em>There was a big huge fight&#8230;</em>&#8220;. O<strong>asis fini, pas de concert. Bâtards.</strong> Et la fin avec <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Vitalic</span></span></em>, sympa, électro a souhait, et que je danse en me donnant à fond. E<strong>t pour vraiment finir, le retour sur Saint Denis en métro, 1h30 de trajet.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Samedi 30, arrivée avec Lucie en plus, vers 14h30. pas question d&#8217;être en retard. <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Noisettes </span></span></em>sur la grande scène à 15h30,<strong> la révélation</strong>. Les albums sont sympa, mais en live, ça envoie. <strong>Tu danses, tu aimes, tu t&#8217;éclates vraiment</strong>. Et la chanteuse se lance dans une escalade des pylônes sur le côté pendant une berceuse. Cherche le pourquoi du comment, et elle se renverse pour chanter. <strong>La fille vit son truc, et on aime ça</strong>. <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Ebony Bones</span></span></em> prend la suite sur la grande scène, à 16h55. <strong>C&#8217;était moins bien que ce à quoi je m&#8217;attendais</strong>. Sympa, mais on était pas vraiment dans le trip en fait. On se bouge jusqu&#8217;à la scène de la Cascade pour voir de loin les <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Dananananaykroyd</span></span></em>, des écossais. C&#8217;est puchy, pas trop mou du genou, <strong>c&#8217;est sympatoche</strong>. Et à 20h, la tête d&#8217;affiche, les <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Offspring</span></span></em>. Y a pas à dire, <strong>c&#8217;est gravement violent et bon</strong>. Ça a beau être vieux, on se rappelle de toutes les paroles, et <strong>on transforme la fosse en pogo géant et en piscine de poussière/transpiration</strong>. Tu sors de là, tu es mort, tu es trempé, tu n&#8217;as plus de voix/bras/épaules, mais tu as pris ton pied. Ensuite, tu cours jusque <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Calvin Harris</span></span></em> à la Cascade, pour 21h10, et tu t&#8217;allonges pour te reposer en écoutant Calvin te dire qu&#8217;il est &#8220;<em>ready for the week end</em>&#8220;. Ça se laisse très bien écouter. Pour finir la soirée, les <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Birdy Nam Nam</em></span></span> te collent dans u<strong>ne espèce de transe à tendance sommeil</strong>, j&#8217;aime pas. Retour à Saint Denis.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dimanche 30, on arrive tard, parce que il y a pas grand chose à voir en début de journée. On se retrouve à Saint Cloud pour le début des <span style="color:#800000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Eagles of Death Metal</em></span></span> sur la grande scène à 18h. <strong>C&#8217;est très sympa, du bon vieux hard rock comme on les aime, avec quand même, une grosse touche d&#8217;humour</strong>. Josh Homme vient faire un coucou sur une des chansons, et on se retrouve avec 2 roux sur scène, si c&#8217;est pas beau tout ça ? On prend la suite sur la scène de la Cascade avec <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">les Petits Pois</span></span></em>, le super-groupe qui a Josh Homme et Dave Grohl notamment. <strong>C&#8217;est de la qualité, mais j&#8217;aime pas du tout</strong>. Alors voilà quoi. Direction une grosse tête d&#8217;affiche, les <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><span style="color:#800000;">MGMT</span></em></span>, à 19h50, sur la grande scène. <strong>Et bah mon Dieu, que c&#8217;est chiant ! Andrew a une vraie voix de canard, il se fait chier et nous aussi. L&#8217;ambiance est presque inexistante, sauf sur les tubes. C&#8217;était vraiment nul. Je suis pas resté jusqu&#8217;à la fin d&#8217;ailleurs. 5 chansons, et hop, on se tire</strong>. Les <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Klaxons </span></span></em>nous attendent sur la scène de la Cascade, à 21h. <strong>On se place au 3ème rang, et on s&#8217;est fait explosé la gueule. Et que je te pousse, et que je t&#8217;écrase, et que je te saute dessus. mais quel pied. Mais quel pied ! On est passé plusieurs fois à l&#8217;écran il paraît, et surtout, on a pris une grosse race. Meilleur concert de RES, sans équivoque.</strong> On ressort de là trempés, explosés, en train de rire comme des cons, et c&#8217;est direction la grande scène pour les <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#800000;">Prodigy</span></span></em>, à 22h. <strong>Prodigy = la puissance mâle. Prends ça dans ta face et apprécie</strong>. Pogo géant. Le mec des Prodigy a aussi réussi à faire assoir TOUTE la fosse sur Smack my Bitch up. &#8220;<em>EVERYBODY GETS DOWN ! DOWN DOWN !</em>&#8221; Alors tu t&#8217;assois parce que il fait peur. Et c&#8217;est fini une dizaine de minutes après.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>3 jours de musique, 3 jours de jouissance auditive</strong>. Y a pas à dire, ce festival, c&#8217;est ma vie. J&#8217;ai quelque photos, je vous les mets, elles sont nulles, c&#8217;est <em>made in mon téléphone portable.</em></p>

<description><![CDATA[[♥♥♥♥♥]Simian Mobile Disco &#8211; Temporary Pleasure Finalement, j&#8217;ai cédé, j&#8217;ai écouté]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>[</strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">♥♥♥</span>♥♥<strong>]</strong><strong>Simian Mobile Disco</strong> &#8211; <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Temporary Pleasure</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Finalement, j&#8217;ai cédé, j&#8217;ai écouté le nouveau Simian Mobile Disco. Ce groupe que<strong><img class="size-full wp-image-1764 alignleft" title="1249467936_simian-mobile-disco-temporary-pleasure-2009" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/1249467936_simian-mobile-disco-temporary-pleasure-2009.jpg" alt="1249467936_simian-mobile-disco-temporary-pleasure-2009" width="168" height="168" /></strong> je trouvais cruel et sans émotion a finalement évolué. Ils ne se sont pas humanisés malgré tout ces duo mais plus diversifié ce qui aère et harmonise leur deuxième album. Je crois que je n&#8217;aimerais jamais Simian Mobile Disco mais, même en réécoutant le premier album, je me rend compte à quel point c&#8217;est bon, horriblement bon. De la musique glacée, sans aucune émotion&#8230;SMD tout un concept. J&#8217;essaie de ne pas vous proposer <em>Audicity Of Huge</em> et <em>Bad Blood </em>mais n&#8217;ayez aucun doute que ce sont mes préférés&#8230;Je ne peux toutefois m&#8217;empêcher de ressortir <em>1000 Horses Can&#8217;t Be Wrong</em>&#8230;Trop forte pour être évincée&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://limelinx.com/files/1cff365d419ead4ae5695da85f0732e0">1000 Horses Can&#8217;t Be Wrong</a></li>
<li><a href="http://limelinx.com/files/44d4d5ea77ede92948d39c2a025bf51f">Pinball</a> (featuring Telepathe)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>[</strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">♥</span>♥♥♥♥<strong>]</strong><strong>Ebony Bones</strong> &#8211; <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>Bone Of My Bones</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1766" title="CD_WALLET" src="http://axeley.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/6a00e0098fe881883301157132ffd8970c-800wi1.jpg?w=150" alt="CD_WALLET" width="150" height="150" />Je trouvais qu&#8217;un seule cœur était peut-être méchant, mais deux seraient trop facilement donné. En effet, Bone Of My Bones est loin d&#8217;être mauvais au contraire, beaucoup vous dirons que c&#8217;est un album brillant. Mais qu&#8217;en est-il vraiment? L&#8217;album est en fait assez linéaire, le même rythme, les même astuces ; on reste un peu à patauger dans la même soupe&#8230;On se lasse très vite malgré un potentiel certains. Pour moi, 4 titres marquent vraiment, en voici 2 exemples :</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://limelinx.com/files/2facb6a30899099fe51183b1c266483e">Guess We&#8217;ll Always Have Ny</a></li>

</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Just now, about three-and-a-half seconds ago (literally) I decided to make up the &#8220;lOve in Earfulls&#8221;.  An earfull of what, you ask? An earfull of LOVE. My number one lover will always be my music so I&#8217;ma spread a little love to you and hook you up with the good stuff. Some stuff might be old, some might be new to you, but to others it could be the opposite.  Either way, I guarantee you&#8217;ll enjoy this first volume of lOve. Expect nothing less &#8230;</p>
<p>What beter way to start then with CSS&#8217;s &#8220;Music is My Hot Hot Sex&#8221;? Loved this group for a long time &#8211; experimental, though, slighty awkward with a hipster feel, but not hipster in the &#8220;immature&#8221; sense some like to give. They&#8217;re mature in a playful, honest way. Love them. Crazy cool:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/cRvCjkd3p08&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/cRvCjkd3p08&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Okey, next on the list is from Mod Def&#8217;s latest The Ecstatic, which is quite possibly his greatest musical collection to date. Mos got work DONE on this album and it shows through his research of various musical influences, reflection, interlocking melodies and his path of travel from track to track. One of my favorite tracks on the album is &#8220;Auditorium&#8221; featuring the talented Slick Rick, totally musically reminiscant of Rick&#8217;s &#8220;Children&#8217;s Story&#8221;. Mos brings it in every way and everything I mentioned is apparent in this track: the influence, the fluidity, the truth of his finished album. Enjoy and seriously &#8230; if you haven&#8217;t yet, get your hands on The Ecstatic pronto.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/UT-hYXqTN38&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/UT-hYXqTN38&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>On we go &#8230; Ladyhawke: &#8220;Paris is Burning&#8221;. Great song, even better hook. Reminds me of something from The Sounds, who I also HEART &#8230; Gotta love the way she brings Snoopy back to mainstream. Enjoy this funky &#8216;lil tune. Ish good.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/CdNxHuDmG4c&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/CdNxHuDmG4c&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aight aight aight, next I got some Sam Sparro for you called &#8220;Black and Gold&#8221;. I heard this song way back when and totally fell in love with it. Why do I love this song? Well &#8230; where do I  start? It&#8217;s got a groove that&#8217;s sexy in a classy, elite sort of way, but lyrics that are desperate in a romantic wannabe Romeo + Juliet sort of way and the video screams creepy-stalker-hot-mysterious-ness-ness-ness. How can you go wrong with that? Check it out:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/eHuebHTD-lY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/eHuebHTD-lY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Miss Regina Spektor is next on the list for this Friday with one of my favorites: &#8220;Us&#8221;. The song itself rocks, but so does this remix, so after a few minutes comtemplating over which one I should post, I decided on the remix. Why not? I mean, you still got the original song overlayed atop of here-and-there synths, a simple percusison and a little bit of skewed-idity. I just made up that word because I want you to listen to it</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Andale! Ahorita: Jehro! Did ya get that? Now, we got Jehro with &#8220;Everything&#8221;. Love this man. He&#8217;s so talented with a sugary, rough raspy voice and a simplicity to his music that is perfection. It&#8217;s danceable, grooveable, moveable, swayable, chillable &#8230; you name it. Hope you check out his other stuff too, like &#8220;All I Want&#8221; which is another really stellar track.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Lucky number seven is &#8220;If I Feel Better&#8221; by Phoenix. I remember when I heard &#8220;Alphabetical&#8221; by Phoenix back in the day and I was all over it. Ever since then, this talented group has kept me oozing over their stuff. This one is just fun and perfect for getting ready to go out or driving to your destination. It&#8217;ll make you want to dance sort of like how Jamiroquai struck our chords and moved our feet in the 90&#8217;s with &#8220;Virtual Insanity&#8221;. You&#8217;re gonna like this one:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Finally, number eiGht: last track for this Friday Earfull. I&#8217;m gonna end today with Ebony Bones&#8217;s &#8220;The Musik&#8221;. I don&#8217;t even need to tell you anything about this song. Just listen to it and thank me afterwards for showing you a good time. Oh, and feel free to dance wherever you happen to be standing. It&#8217;s ok. I won&#8217;t tell anyone &#8230;</p>

<description><![CDATA[L&#8217;allegra combricola di outofclub&#8217;s è andata in missione per una due giorni al Pantiero ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>L&#8217;allegra combricola di outofclub&#8217;s è andata in missione per una due giorni al Pantiero Festival di quest&#8217;anno nella ridente e ricca Cannes, lo abbiamo vissuto, lo abbiamo sudato e lo abbiamo anche bevuto com&#8217;è solito del nostro stile. Sinceramente dei dj&#8217;s set non ci importava poi molto, anche perchè sinceramente Erol Alkan ormai crediamo noi viva in Italia, ma è anche questo il bello della nostra scena musicale da club. Si prende un dj, e lo si sfrutta fino a far venire la nausea alla clientela, un pò quello che ora sta accadendo ora per i MSTRKFT, si scrive così?boh e che ci frega a noi anche se non è scritto giusto. In ogni caso, tanto di cappello per carità sia a Mr. Oizo idolo ed icona del moviemento giovanile francese, chiunque fosse presente al Pantiero aveva un suo santino in tasca, e lo stesso vale per la bravura di Mr Alkan, ma francamente ci ha un stancato leggerlo ovunque e comunque, condito in tutte le salse, con il classico contorno di unica data di qui, unica data di la ecc ecc. Ovvio che se la gente si lamente della situazione dei club italiani non ha tutti i torti, non siamo capaci di offrire qualcosa che non segua le mode, no a noi piace subirla, farci bastonare e martoriare mediaticamente da tutto ciò che va ora indipendentemente se serva o ne valga la pena davvero.</p>
<p>In ogni caso passiamo alla descrizione della nostra due giorni:</p>
<p><strong>THE CHAP</strong>: A noi sono piaciuti, hanno aperto la rassegna, quindi non godevano di un pubblico immenso, ma comunque di una valida moltitudine di ragazzi che apprezzavano le loro sonorità. Sono stati validi, precisi, unica cosa, consiglio alla tastierista, evitiamo le scritte sui cartelli da mostrare, sono cose già viste, odiose, ripetitive che non servono a nulla, a noi non importa quanto siete avanti, ma semplicemente se sapete suonare e cantare, a parte questo dobbiamo promuoverli.</p>
<p><strong>FUJIYA &#38; MIYAGI: </strong>Non sono dei pivellini, e questo lo sapevamo già, ci hanno fatto ballare, abbiamo cantato tutte le loro canzoni, davvero fantastici, perfetti in ogni loro brano, assolutamente coinvolgenti, il pubblico li ha applauditi e riapplauditi per tutta la durata della loro esibizione. Saremo anche di parte, ma questi ragazzi la sanno davvero lunga, speriamo di vederli in Italia quanto prima, speriamo di vederli in Italia magari in 100 persone solamente come spesso accade quando c&#8217;è qualcosa che davvero può essere interessante, sappiamo bene come starci alla larga.</p>
<p><strong>ESG: </strong>La batterista ci ha entusiasmato, queste ragazze dalle sonorità tribali hanno colpito tutti nel profondo. Brave, coinvolgenti, furbe ad attirare l&#8217;attenzione di tutti. Nessuno riusciva a stare fermo, esplosive, formose e brave, siamo sinceri non le abbiamo mai ascoltate tanto prima di vederle al Pantiero, ma sono già entrate a pieno titolo nel nostro pc.</p>
<p><strong>EBONY BONES: </strong>Abbiamo l&#8217;amaro in bocca, non sappiamo precisamente catalogare bene questa band, dalle coreografie un pò alla Empire of the sun, che a noi proprio non dicono nulla. Una buona voce, ma forse troppa carne al fuoco per nulla, forse sarebbe sempre meglio limitarsi a fare il banale e lo scontato se realmente valorizzi le loro qualità. Non sappiamo quindi darvi un giudizio onesto su di loro, dobbiamo ancora pensarci.</p>
<p><strong>NAÏVE NEW BEATERS: </strong>Una delle band più attese di tutto il Pantiero, loro non hanno deluso, veloci e costanti in tutta la loro durata, ci hanno dato la carica giusta per iniziare la seconda giornata. Furbamente messi per primi in line up, avrebbero dato molto di più in chiusura, anzi sicuramente di più dei The late of the pier.</p>
<p><strong>STUCK IN THE SOUND: </strong>Eravamo usciti per problemi tecnici, siamo spiacenti di non potervi dire nulla su di loro.</p>
<p><strong>KAP BAMBINO: </strong>Ecco qui è davvero dura, nel senso. Il pubblico era in visibilio durante la loro esibizione, a noi sembrano la brutta copia dei Crystal Castles. Sei lei sa cantare, io sono tranquillamente babbo natale, cosa uno ci possa trovare in urla, e parole sintate beh io questo non lo so davvero. Ecco più che band che duo, lo definiamo una moda, e se allora tutti siamo consci di definirla così, possiamo tranquillamente metterli ovuqnue, ma almeno abbiamo capito il senso, almeno il loro. Comunque le basi pompavano, cavate lei, bevete due birre in più e vedrete che diventano ballabili.</p>
<p><strong>LATE OF THE PIER: </strong>Aahahahhahahaha Ragazzi fatevi crescere prima la barba, e poi ne riparleremo. Saranno anche i figli adottivi di Alkan, ma ne aveva proprio bisogno?</p>
<p>I dj&#8217;s proposti da MTV PULSE, durante i cambi di palco, sono stati qualcosa di semplicemente imbarazzante e ridicolo, meglio un cd, meglio uno speaker che elencasse i titoli in borsa di quello da loro proposto, stavano al mixer come noi alle bevande analcoliche, davvero penosi.</p>
<p>Per il resto la location è davvero bella, l&#8217;organizzazione era ottima, nessuna coda, nessuna rissa, nessun problema, veloci al bar e ai punti di informazione, insomma nulla da ridire. Siamo però rimasti delusi quando per tutte e due le sere, carichi come dei missili ci siamo recati all&#8217;after show, trovando a mala pena 200 persone a cena. Approviamo il set di Bombo, davvero molto eclettico, il ragazzo ci vede dentro e segue la pista, cosa più unica e rara al mondo d&#8217;oggi.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Uy5fiIbbnPU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Uy5fiIbbnPU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://club.scannerfm.com/profiles/profile/show?id=0ctp35dckogj8" target="_blank"><strong>ESCUCHA AQUÍ NUESTRA LISTA DE AGOSTO</strong></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>E: </strong></span><strong>music4girls</strong> no nos vamos de vacaciones&#8230; bueno, sí. Pero para algo existen el wifi y la conexión inalámbrica. Para poder cumplir con nuestras obligaciones mensuales como <strong>Little Boots</strong> manda. A continuación os regalamos nuestra lista más veraniega, con un puntito de festividad nocturna, un poquito de pose cool, un poquito de esnobismo sustancial (aunque no demasiado) y, sobre todo, con muchos temazos que, como siempre os podéis descargar para escucharlos, disfrutarlos o criticarlos a muerte, que ya sabéis que nos encanta que comentéis.<!--more--><br />
Entran <strong>The Big Pink</strong>. Grupo que a mí me sonó a electro petardo la primera vez que <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Raül</strong></span> lo mencionó pero que poco tiene que ver con bailes desaforados con nocturnidad y alevosía. Dos chavalotes que a priori parecen sacados de un reportaje de <strong>Comando Actualidad</strong> pero que entregan un temazo de shoegaze pop como <em>Dominos</em>, capas y capas de distorsión perfectamente ensambladas en uno de los temazos de la temporada que viene. En la parte más relajada de la lista el pop ensoñador y triposo de <strong>Grizzly Bear</strong>, experimentación hedonista y preciosa en una canción que transcurre por tus venas como un chute perfecto de psicodelia azucarada. Estamos muy enganchados a <strong>Veckatimest</strong>, y no entiendo por qué <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Raül</strong></span> no le ha dedicado todavía uno de sus <strong>snob4girls</strong>, porque el disco entero es pura ambrosía. Se mantiene <a href="http://music4girls.com/2009/07/13/discos4girls-florence-and-the-machine-lungs/" target="_blank"><strong>Florence &#38; the Machine</strong></a>, con su recién estrenada nominación a los <a href="http://music4girls.com/2009/07/21/news4girls-ya-sabemos-los-nominados-al-mercury-prize-2009/" target="_blank"><strong>Mercury Prizes</strong></a>; a mí es que <em>Rabbit Heart</em> me engancha como los mejores momentos de <strong>Bat for Lashes</strong>, brillo y luminosidad en un tema precioso que la mismísima <strong>Goldfrapp</strong> hubiera deseado robar para sí misma. Siguiente entrada, <a href="http://music4girls.com/2009/07/31/newbands4girls-marina-the-diamonds/" target="_blank"><strong>Marina Diamandis</strong></a> nos canta que ella no es un Robot, y a nosotros que no nos lo parece, chica. Un tema de pop naïve y maravilloso en su simplicidad. Y finalmente el hit veraniego. Nadie podía filtrar las maravillas del hit del año (¿he dicho yo eso? ¿es todavía pronto para pronunciarse?) mejor que <strong>Buffetlibre djs</strong>, que junto a <strong>Sidechains</strong>, cincuenta por ciento de <strong>The Requesters</strong>, han firmado un remix contundente que lo tiene todo: entradilla trotona, subidones hasta el colapso y breves momentos de verbena veraniega. Está claro que ahora mismo tienen la propuesta más interesante en cuanto a cabinas de electrónica, y en cada momento y a cada paso que dan, se van afianzando más y más. Enganchados estuvimos a sus <strong>Rewinds</strong>, a sus <strong>Hits</strong> y ahora a su peculiar visión de <em>Remedy</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>R: </strong></span>En pleno subidón <strong>Pixar,</strong> recuerdo a <strong>Edna</strong> de <strong>Los Increibles</strong> diciendo &#8220;<em>no capes!</em>&#8221; y lo único que me sale es que, para <strong>music4girls</strong>, &#8220;<em>no holidays!</em>&#8220;. Nos jodemos. Pero suerte tenemos todo este puñado de jitazos para refrescarnos. Aunque refrescar, lo que se dice refrescar, no es lo que hacen <strong>The Dead Weather</strong>: sus temazos son brasas (en el buen sentido de la palabra) de barbacoa sureña americana a plena potencia. Ya os avanzamos el <a href="http://music4girls.com/2009/07/31/videos4girls-the-dead-weather-treat-me-like-your-mother/" target="_blank"><strong>video</strong></a> de <em>Treat me like your mother</em>, que está este mes en nuestro primer puesto; y como en breve caerá un análisis pormenorizado de <strong>Horehound</strong>, mejor no me excedo en mis comentarios&#8230; Y paso a <strong>Ebony Bones</strong>. Más calorcillo. El perfecto para fiestas estivales a las 4 de la madrugada frotando tu sudor contra el de el resto de los asistentes. Ya dijimos en su momento que <a href="http://music4girls.com/2009/07/22/discos4girls-ebony-bones-bones-of-my-bones/" target="_blank"><strong>Bone of my bones</strong></a> está repleto de jits, así que elegir sólo uno ha sido una tortura: <em>The Muzik</em>, sin embargo, resume bastante bien el espíritu de mestizaje perverso del álbum. Casi casi llega a nuestro número 1, pero por un mes hemos decidido sorprenderos y no poner a una de las nuevas divas en la cúspide. Para que no digáis que somos previsibles. Por suerte, <strong>Cass McComb</strong> refresca el ambiente con su vals de country-folk, acompañado de <strong>Karen Black</strong>, en <em>Dreams-come-true girl</em>: ese jitazo que, <a href="http://music4girls.com/2009/07/24/snob4girls-cass-mccombs-catacombs/" target="_blank"><strong>tal y como afirmé</strong></a>, no consigue ensombrecer las excelencias de ese <strong>Catacombs</strong> que parece no acabarse nunca. Dos novedades jugositas jugositas que van a dar mucho que hablar en los próximos meses. La primera tiene todos los números para convertirse en mi nueva obsesión: <strong>Music Go Music</strong> suenan al <em>fantasma de las <strong>Eurovisiones</strong> pasadas</em> de <strong>Abba</strong>. Y si eso no es suficiente como para aficionarse a la música de estos californianos, cancionacas como <em>Light of Love</em> hacen pensar que ese inminente disco de debut puede ser la solución para todos los aficionados al eurotrash (que somos muchos). Y la segunda entrada espectacular es la de <strong>Delphic</strong>: la primera vez que escuché <em>This momentary</em> no pude evitar pensar en la ecucación &#8220;<strong>Underworld</strong> + <strong>Fischerspooner</strong>&#8220;. Es decir: elegancia electro (sin el trash) junto a beats cerdos y espaciosos. Lo tienen todo para estar en nuestra lista.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>THE DEAD WEATHER, </strong><em>Treat me like your mother</em></li>
<li><strong>EBONY BONES, </strong><em>The Muzik</em></li>
<li><strong>THE BIG PINK,</strong> <em>Dominos</em></li>

<li><strong>GRIZZLY BEAR, </strong><em>Two weeks</em></li>

<description><![CDATA[Ebony Bones at Bowery Ballroom, 7.29.09 On Wednesday night Ebony Bones brought the Bones of My Bones]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 315px"><img src="http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e354/CaramelBlog/ebonydrums/P7290049.jpg" alt="Ebony Bones at Bowery Ballroom, 7.29.09" width="305" height="406" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ebony Bones at Bowery Ballroom, 7.29.09</p></div>
<p>On Wednesday night Ebony Bones brought the Bones of My Bones Tour to New York&#8217;s Bowery Ballroom in support of the upcoming release of her debut LP. She brought along local Brooklyn bands Ninjasonik and The Drums along for a night oozing of highly animated energy!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve had The Drums eclectic tunes on rotation here so we were really looking forward to seeing the translation from MP3 to stage. The Drums consist of former Elkland singer Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham of Flashlight Party, as well as a full band and back-up singers that accompany their live set.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 252px"><img src="http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e354/CaramelBlog/ebonydrums/P7290013.jpg" alt="The Drums at Bowery Ballroom, 7.20.09" width="242" height="323" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Drums at Bowery Ballroom, 7.20.09</p></div>
<p>The Drums formed with the intent to &#8220;Make pure pop songs okay again,&#8221; and in my opinion they are on their way to accomplish this goal. I thoroughly enjoyed their live set that kept the excitement, passion and graciousness on a high scale. Everyone onstage looked like they were having a great time, much like ourselves.</p>
<p>Ebony Bones took the stage after 11PM, making quite the entrance following her highly-stylized stage companions (see pictures below.)  The crowd Ms. Bones pulled it baffled me. Ranging from Brits, pierced boys kissing each other, and people who seemed to be up past their bedtime. Ebony Bones&#8217; overall message of creating a sense of unity was successful which was  best noted in the audience&#8217;s synchronized dance routine.</p>
<p>Ebony Bones&#8217; debut Bone of My Bones was released in the UK on June 30th and will see a US release date soon. The Drums&#8217; Summertime EP will be released on September 15th with <a href="http://www.mercuryloungenyc.com/event/3394" target="_blank">a gig at Mercury Lounge</a> following the release on September 22nd.</p>

<p>July is coming to an end, let&#8217;s have a look at good albums that this year has brought over last 7 months. I&#8217;ve found 15 interesting positions, so I will divide the post into three parts so you shouldn&#8217;t be overwhelmed.<br />
I&#8217;m not rating them yet &#8211; all I&#8217;m gonna do is to present them in an alphabetic order, give you a hint what it&#8217;s all about and post a song, so you can easily decide what you should quickly get familiar with if you haven&#8217;t done it so far. Enjoy! /PART 1 of 3/<!--more--></p>

<p>Three girls from Brooklyn returned with slightly monotonous album filled with gentle, keyboard-driven songs that flow to your head by one ear and flow out by the other one. In the meantime, you are under a spell of their cosy charm. Highly recommended for dreamers.</p>

<p>If the rest of songs on his album that should be released this year (hopefully soon) is as good as the four songs on <em>Hookie EP</em>, it will end up in my top 10 albums of 2009 for sure. Irresistibly catchy electropop with airy melodies and vivid energy. Keep your eyes on this guy!</p>

<p>Natasha Khan went for some synths and electronics on this album, so it was easier for me find the way to appreciate her it. At least a half of it. I like her sense of drama and her concept of the album. And, of course, don&#8217;t forget about the terrific &#8216;Daniel&#8217;.</p>

<p>I was so surprised with this album! All I wanted from Ciara was to deliver me two or three nice hits. What I received was a CD all packed with hits. Mixture of pop, r&#8217;n'b, crunk and dance together with Ciara&#8217;s charisma is a perfect combination. It was far better than my highest expectations. If you&#8217;re looking for delicious, ultimately commercial big hits &#8211; you&#8217;ve just found them. And her music videos?! Amazing. Since you probably know <a href="http://esauhasket.wordpress.com/category/sexiest-music-videos/" target="_blank">&#8216;Love Sex Magic&#8217;</a> and <a href="http://esauhasket.wordpress.com/2009/06/27/work/">&#8216;Work&#8217;</a>, listen to &#8216;High Price&#8217; below.</p>

<p>Many compare her to Santigold and that was my first thought at well. Ebony Bones! didn&#8217;t make as good album as Santi (no Diplo factor here), but she&#8217;s a one wild lady and quite a few of her songs explodes with crazy energy. The more I listen to the album, the more I like it. But isn&#8217;t it always the case?</p>
