New P.Wolf video for "Vulture"



From Patrick's MySpace:
"Filmed in black & white, photographic style, it shows an enraptured, semi naked Patrick writhing in a full S&M, bondage outfit. The controversial scenes are intercut with those of Patrick as the leather clad ‘Vulture’ and as an unmasked icon. Inspired by experiences Patrick gained and suffered on the American leg of the 2007 'Magic Position' tour, the video perfectly depicts these experiences, which Patrick describes as ‘getting involved in some dodgy satanic sex games and exploring the many dark sides of Los Angeles’."

cover song of the moment

So I had a folder of music by Florence and The Machine on my desktop for a good 3+ months now. I finally upload it onto my iTunes a few days ago and I am completely blown away!

Florence’s debut single, "Kiss With A Fist", released back in June of last year is just an incredible song; but what makes the single even more brilliant is the b-side: a cover of "Hospital Beds" by Cold War Kids!

Hospital Beds (Cold War Kids cover) [wicked-cool song]

Here are some other covers by Florence and The Machine:
You've Got the Love (The Source cover) from Dog Days Are Over Single
Postcards From Italy (Beirut cover) [wicked-cool song]
Galaxy Of The Lost (Lightspeed Champion cover)

soap&skin: lovetune for vacuum

I have been longing for some good new piano music recently; something along the line of Sigur Rós’ "Samskeyti" and Eluvium’s astonishing 7xLP, Set Life Through Bombardment… well, I think the answer to my craving is Lovetune For Vacuum by Soap&Skin. In many ways, Lovetune For Vacuum reminds me of PJ Harvey’s 2007 masterpiece, White Chalk. If anything, Soap&Skin’s piano-melodies are even more haunting and her incredible vocal range is equally mesmerizing and vulnerable. Lovetune For Vacuum also projects this beautiful mysterious sound as well... very similar to what Patrick Wolf did on Wind In The Wires, Anja Plaschg brilliantly mixed dark electronic sounds with classical arrangements. Soap&Skin is one of my new favourite artists right now and Lovetune For Vacuum is by far one of the best releases of 2009!
