Pop as love can One of the most underestimated but famous bands ever, Erasure, have released a new album and they call it unassumingly Love Boat. And what do you think, which subject it is all about? Right! Broad, trundling and stomping synthipop lovehymns of it's very best.  Erasure - Tracks from "Love Boat" |

Dan Hicks mixes it all up after 27 years Ever heard of Dan Hicks? I haven't, but this musician has made a comeback now after 27 years and that's quite astonishing isn't it? They say that he has made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine three times and that his idiosyncratic mix of country, Western swing, gypsy jazz, blues, folk, and '40s pop is as out of step with the mainstream in 2000 as it was when he first made a splash in the early '70s. So, that sounds old fashioned you might think but it's quite interesting and besides that it is really full of swing and humour - very nice, very euroranch.

Death penalty record in Texas With 38 executions in this year, the state Texas and Gouverneur George W. Bush have broken all US-American execution records. And - for encore - another two will follow in 2000. It is only the method that distinguishes us from dark ages: "For the lethal injection the condemned man (or woman) is strapped unto a gurney, with needles for injection in both arms. First some water with common salt shall clean the veins. When the inmate has spoken his last words, the executioner starts the machine and three different chemicals flow into the body: 1. a very high dose of the narcotic Sodium Thiopental, that makes the man fall into coma; 2. Pancuronium Bromide, a muscle-relaxant which causes the collapse of diaphragm and lungs; 3. Potassium Chloride to stop the heart beat. The whole process takes about 7 minutes and the cost of the drugs is $86 per execution." More about death penalty in Texas on todesstrafe-texas.de.

 Today I was an Evil OneThere are so many bandversions and releases(versions) coming out by the Palace Records family that I have totaly lost the overview. Musical chameleon Will Oldham, who has recorded in the past with his brother, Paul, and members of Tortoise and Royal Trux under the band names Palace, Palace Brothers and Palace Music, dons the moniker Bonnie "Prince" Billy for the haunting I See a Darkness. Remeber the Johnny Cash + Will Oldham duett recently? I'm shivering hauntingly, anemia in my head. Bonnie Prince Billy - Tracks from "I See a Darkness" |

Califone is the follow up band from Red Red Meat After the retirement of Red Red Meat Tim Rutilli is continuing making music with Califone. Red Red Meat was one of my most favorite alternative Rockbands from the states. Hard, down(beat) and (de)pressing music from screaming and crying men. Califone is the debutalbum and it seems they have also been playing music with Modest Mouse. And listen! An Album like this is the album of the century not shit like Radiohead. Tracks by Califone (& Modest Mouse) |
