New 22 Pistepirkko EP on Bad Afro
Bad Afro’s affection for the Finnish rock scene is well known. In the past we have released The Flaming Sideburns, Sweatmaster, Slideshaker, The Ultra Bimboos and many more and now 22 Pistepirkko joins the list. A new EP will see the light of day May 8th by one of the most popular Finnish bands outside their home country.
The EP will include a re-mastered version of their first 7” in English called “Ou Wee”. This single was originally released in 1986 on Pygmi Records and is today a collectors items. It was the first time they used English vocals and they kept that tradition for the Kings of Hong Kong album from 1987 and have been doing so ever since.
The EP will also include the very first recordings by The Others a.k.a. 22PP. The Others are 22 Pistepirkko’s garage rock alter ego who play covers of personal favourites like The Troggs, Velvet Underground and Hank Williams. The style is primitive and wild. Old instruments, vintage R&R sound. Here they cover three Link Wray tunes: “Scatter”, “Law of the Jungle” and “Zipcode”.
The Others a.k.a. 22PP will release their debut album in late May on the own label Bone Voyage Recording Company and there are plans for a tour in late spring. The band was originally only called The Others but since there was a crap UK band by the same name they had to change it to The Others a.k.a. 22PP.
The 22 Pistepirkko EP will be released May 8th along with the new On Trial album “Forever” and the upcoming The Flaming Sideburns compilation “Back To The Grave”.

STRANGE ATTRACTOR
Everything Is Closer
M4S 29 CD, 13-04-2006
'Everything Is Closer' is a co-release by M4S and BIG BLUE RECORDS.
About the album 'Out of a warm, acoustic jazz atmosphere springs a
cold, sequenced synth pattern. Full throttle drumming and raunchy
double sax blurts turn into minimal glitches. Raw hiphop beats are
shaded by eerie, floating electro-acoustic soundscapes.'On their debut CD 'Everything Is Closer', STRANGE ATTRACTOR grazes the
edges of jazz, ambient and soulful electronica, combining NIELS VAN
HOORN's unique approach to bass clarinet and impressive arsenal of
saxophones and other acoustic and electronic wind instruments and
effects with the arranging and production skills of RICHARD VAN
KRUYSDIJK, who is also responsible for all other instruments
(keyboards, drums, electronics, etc.) and cover artwork.Broken beat lovers will appreciate the versatile rhythmic drive,
sometimes complex, but always dedicated to the groove, whereas ambient
fans are treated to some lush textures, delicately woven by electronica
and a wide range of (manipulated) brass and wood wind instruments.On top of this, special guest vocals by such diverse singers as Edward
Ka-Spel (The Legendary Pink Dots), Richard Sinclair (Caravan, Hatfield
& the North) and Marie-Claudine Vanvlemen (Sonar Lodge) add even more
colour to the rich sound palatte of this release.2xLP=CD 'Everything Is Closer' is a split-label CD release by Big Blue
Records and Music For Speakers. It compiles the 2 vinyl releases
'Rorschach' (Music for Speakers 2004 | M4S 26 LP) and 'Rorschach II'
(Music for Speakers 2005 | M4S 28 LP)

Daniel Johnston se despide de los escenarios con un nuevo disco para Sketchbook/ Houston Party
DANIEL JOHNSTON
El 2 de mayo se publica “Lost & Found” (Sketchbook/Houston Party), el nuevo disco de Daniel Johnston. Se trata de una de las obras más impactantes de su carrera. Como siempre, su temática se centra en el amor: el bueno, el malo y el indiferente. La actualidad informativa del californiano residente en Texas no acaba aquí. La aparición del disco coincide con la comercialización de la película “The Devil And Daniel Johnston”, que compitió en la categoría de documentales en los últimos Oscar y ha sido premiada en la última edición del festival de Sundance. Ha sido descrita como “un retrato de locura, creatividad y amor”. En marzo empezó a exhibirse en cines estadounidenses. Por otro lado, se han organizado dos exposiciones, en un museo y una galería neoyorquinas, sobre las pinturas y dibujos de Daniel. Finalmente, el 14 de abril se celebra en Londres un concierto especial, de homenaje a Johnston, en el que varios de sus fans del gremio musical compartirán escenario con él: de momento está confirmada la presencia de Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse), Jason Pierce (Spiritualized) y Jad Fair. -
joder, pues casi que me voy a london a ver al gran daniel con sparklehorse….

Neil Hannon returns as The Divine Comedy in June with the follow up to 2004’s ‘Absent Friends’. ‘Victory For The Comic Muse’ will be released on Parlophone on June 19th. This will be preceded by a new single on June 12th.
The album was recorded virtually live in the studio over a period of two weeks in late 2005. Modern recording techniques were set aside in favour of analogue tape and as few microphones as possible. The entire project was arranged and produced by Neil himself and features many long-standing Divine Comedy collaborators.
Neil will be touring Europe with an 8-piece band in May. The dates are:

pues no te joda tanto, hombre. Si te apetece, comprate el abono y ya está…si le pones tantos repararos es por algo más. Seguro que luego te estaras dando de tortas en la pared con la cabeza lamentado no haber ido. Y si es un amierda, al menos podras cagarte en ellos con argumentos.

lo que me jode es dar una parte de mi pobre economia a la multinacional sinnamon.

En la rockdelux viene una noticia de Rufus Wainwright en la que dice que estará actuando el 14 y el 15 de junio en Nueva York, en el Carnegie Hall, con cincuenta músicos más y reproduciendo exactamente el mismo show que en 1961 hiciese Judy Garland

Lo que no entiende ni Zeus es que alguien se atreva a programar a un grupo en Barcelona los mismos días del Primavera.
Habrá público para Marah? De verdad que estas cosas joden (como lo del Indyspensable, gratuíto en Madrid, las mismas jodidas fechas).
