THE BAND WHISPERER
hefe aka razvan radulescu/bring the noise is the guy who put his encyclopedic knowledge of music to good service and single-handedly undertook the sisyphean task of educating the public with regard to the marginal, non-commercial kinds of music he loves and promotes: ska, hip-hop, punk, hardcore and all the related sub-genres. we owe him many...
TONITE’S HIGHLIGHTS
tonight seems to be one of the busiest nights of the year: beside the regular events, we also have museum night! bring the noise says i should totally check the double concert in ctrl and, after i listened to a few melodious and well-produced samples on youtube, i’m sold: we’re going to see jeniferever and...
DEAN LOVES VARNISH. MEGG HATES CLOTHES
i’m only posting on the cbk/naked cuddles gig now cuz i have been buried under a lot of (unrelated) work. on thursday, i got to ctrl before the show started, said hi to dean, who was mingling. the show was short and energetic, pretty much what i’d expect if i went to see a small...
MANGA-RELATED
i usually hate cgi models of how future buildings are going to look like. but this project in china got my attention as it will be a comic and animation museum. think how much fun that can be! in march this year, i visited once again the manga museum in kyoto. it’s pretty much a...
DEAN TELLS ALL AND COMES TO CTRL ON THU
as i was saying recently, cbk/naked cuddles will be having a gig and a dj set in ctrl, this thursday. dean was nice enough to satisfy my nosy nature: please tell me about how cbk (come back kid) and naked cuddles came to be. i know a bit about the get-together from here. well, megg...
GOING OUT. A LOT…
completely out of character, i’m going out. several times. in a row. like in: opening galas for film festivals, friday nights in ctrl hanging out with exes and puffing outside with old acquaintances, house visits which included strawberries, bathroom cleaning and oprah. you know, going out. and there’s more: tonight, i have a girlfriend’s birthday party/experimental...
IAMX IN BUCHAREST
iamx. june the 4th. romexpo. get your free invitation here. i’m disappointed to miss it as i’ll be in vienna during that period. still, i hope you guys enjoy the concert, which will also include romanian progressive band monarchy. i personally can’t see the connection between the two bands but i guess the organizers must know better....
LIVE CHAOS
the best way to experience chaos is to go to a rock festival. our over-sanitized world with no place for any primary urges needs them. festivals are controlled freedom islands. there’s drugs everywhere. you don’t wash. you have no personal space. you’re everybody’s equal. you do pretty much what you want and the apparent mess...
NEW IAMX
the new iamx album, volatile times, is available for pre-ordering and will be released on march the 18th. the first single is ghosts of utopia which comes as a chris corner directed and edited video starring himself and janine gezang. actually, the whole production is a family affair as all the iamx members apparently filmed...
OLD RHCP
i know mr. kiedis looks about 30 but he’s actually kinda 50. i guess it’s in the water they drink in hollywood… anyhow, in 1989, on mother’s milk, rhcp covered a stevie wonder song called higher ground and here is a live version at woodstock 1994. also, the video for knock me down, possibly shot in the...
