Jamie XX is the guy from the popular 2k9 buzzband The XX who plays 'the drums', except he doesn't have a drumset and he just taps on some lil sampler thingy. I guess that is a kewl gimmick, but really worried abt him getting carpal tunnel or something. I think his best bet 2 help xx go mainstream is probably to 'start working out', 'get huge guns', and 'man up' behind a real drum set.

Seoul Korea opens up to indie music scene
http://musicindustryreport.org/?p=28782

What defines a “good” live music scene may vary from country to country, but Seoul’s crowd is inarguably changing — toward a more Western-filled outlook and constitution. The next couple of months will see a relatively dense indie line-up for Seoul, starting with witty rap duo Das Racist from Brooklyn playing this weekend, and moving all the way up to the Icelandic post rock of Sigur Ros’ Jonsi next week…..

The Age of Adz Pitchfork

Great new album The Age of Adz, check out the review on Pitchfork

With his sixth proper album, Sufjan Stevens does battle with what we've come to expect from a proper Sufjan Stevens album. This time, instead of painstakingly humanizing the locations, historical inhabitants, and trivia of a certain slab of America, he's more concerned with his own state of mind. Banjos are out; moody electronics, deep bass, and drums that burst like geysers are in. The lengthiest song title on his last LP, 2005's Illinois, was 53 words long; here, that same superlative goes to a tune called "I Want to Be Well". He's whispering less, hollering more. And at the climax of The Age of Adz, the devout Christian and poster boy for mannered indie-dude sensitivity shouts, "I'm not fuckin' around!" no less than 16 times. Believe him.

Pump it Up Elvis Costello Lyrics - Full Lyrics

I was just nodding my head to this tune while typing like a deamon. Thought it would be nice to post them up here for us all to sign along to:

 

I've been on tenterhooks
ending in dirty looks,
list'ning to the music,
thinking 'bout this 'n' that.
She said that's that.
I don't wanna chitter-chat.
Turn it down a little bit
or turn it down flat.

Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.

Down in the pleasure centre,
hell bent or heaven sent,
listen to the propaganda,
listen to the latest slander.
There's nothing underhand
that she wouldn't understand.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

She's been a bad girl.
She's like a chemical.
Though you try to stop it,
she's like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her.
You wanna talk to her.
All the things you bought for her,
putting up your temperature.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

Out in the fashion show,
down in the bargain bin,
you put your passion out
under the pressure pin.
Fall into submission,
hit-and-run transmission.
No use wishing now for any other sin.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

 

Thanks me later ;-]
