Next Tuesday, the music section of SXSW in Austin kicks off. Elke and I attended last year and had the time of our lives, even though it was supposed to be “miserable”. The thing is, if you see the event with fresh eyes, you just notice something like a Doritos[…]
Giant Peach is a wonderfully loud rock song by the London-based four-piece Wolf Alice. Their debut album is expected for this summer and they make an appearance at SXSW next week. I hope to see them there.
Another favorite song with a relentless synthline, two years before Anne Clark, is Los Niños Del Parque by the German band Liaisons Dangereuses. It also features my all-time favorite snare drum sound (better to be heard in the recorded version. I heard the song the first time on the portable[…]
