glad to see that patrick updates so frequently now

Patrick Wolf has published a new blog post on MySpace. (I love reading his posts... they always put a smile on my face as they are all so well written!)

this is already better than popaganda

The god himself, Daryl Palumbo, has yet another side project. This time, it is with F.Sean Martin and their band is called House of Blow. They have posted a demo track on their MySpace page. And thanks to Dance In My Blood, you can download a mp3 rip of the track here.

happy thanksgiving

I am thankful that Patrick Wolf has a new myspace profile photo!

exclusive: beast moans

Hey people, sorry for the non-update-day yesterday... I was crazy busy getting art supplies and doing some incredibly messy printings. Anyways, first, I have to repost the newish Portishead song up for Tricia. Oh yea, you all know Tricia, right? If not, she is that other member of this blog but has yet to post one single thing... it’s ok Tricia, I don’t hate you.

Portishead - Requiem For Anna (Un Jour Comme Un Autre - Anna)

Second, to make up for my absent yesterday, I have uploaded the entire Swan Lake album, Beast Moans, for your enjoyment. Swan Lake features members from Destroyer, New Pornographers, Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, and Frog Eyes. Since I am not a fan of any of those bands, I did not give a crap about this band at first. However, I like to give... or at least try to give all music a try. So, I checked out Swan Lake, and to my surprise, Beast Moans is actually not too bad!

I don’t know what it is, but I have taken an interest in instrumental music this year... but enough about me. Without a doubt, you can call The Hylozoists a Toronto indie supergroup… it features members from Broken Social Scene, The Weakerthans, FemBots, Tricky Woo, Cuff the Duke… and according to this source, Owen Pallette from Final Fantasy. Oh yeah, and you guessed it right, The Hylozoists is an instrumental band. Their latest disc, La Fin Du Monde, features some beautiful compositions... they really put the xylophone into good use in some of the tracks! A few of the songs remind me of the soundtrack from both volumes of Kill Bill, in particular "Elementary Particles" and "Warning Against Judging a Christian Brother", while others could be scored in the background of your favorite movies. La Fin Du Monde is like a movie soundtrack... or a collection of songs from various films. As a result, songs like "Straight are the Gate" and "La Fin Du Monde" embed heroic and triumphant qualities in them. Lastly, like many other instrumental albums (eg, The Album Leafs), La Fin Du Monde features a few vocal tracks; in this case, "Hearts And Harps" being my favorite.
