http://www.pinglewood.com RSS feed from Pinglewood.com 5 For this week's Dollars To Pounds I spoke to the retardedly awesome Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Head over to the FADER blog and grab an exclusive new track. We are going on holiday so it will be a bit quiet around here next week. See you soon. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/The_Lost_World.html 06/26/2009 17:00:00 How To Plunge A Respectable Slice Of West Country Soul Into Deranged G-Step Psychosis, Part 9. Starring The Heavy and Joker. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Deep_Purple.html 06/26/2009 12:00:00 Video : Marina And The Diamonds - I Am Not A Robot : In which the awesome Marina, Rankin and several gallons of glittery body paint combine. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Im_A_Cyborg.html 06/25/2009 12:00:00 I don't write many live reviews. Mainly because I'm shit at it. But last night I went to see Jack White's new megaband The Dead Weather and you can read my ill-considered opinions at the NME blog. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Black_Clouds.html 06/24/2009 18:00:00 Our pal His Clancyness is bound to cause waves (HA!) with this crisp and wayward cover of So Bored, but hopefully he will avoid a drug-induced on-stage meltdown. Get well soon, Nathan! http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Turning_Tide.html 06/22/2009 21:00:00 Mazes are one of our favourite new bands. They write jams. Jams about knives and awesome Grandparents. Read the very sweet story behind Bowie Knives at the NME blog and after the jump main dude Jack Cooper does the 321. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/321_Mazes.html 06/19/2009 15:00:00 A Grave With No Name's amazing debut EP came out yesterday so I spoke to main dude Alex Shields for my FADER blog. I asked him utterly retarded questions like "what is your favourite happy song" and he answered in good humour. He rules. Here is a great little track I found at Meal Deal Records. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Shallow_Grave.html 06/16/2009 09:00:00 Sometimes when it is late and we cannot sleep (will Chuck and Blair's love last?) we see The XX sitting at the end of the bed staring at us with benign smiles and after a moment we plunge into uneasy dreams. It is spooky but comforting and much better than the nights we see Blazin' Squad. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Hush-A-Bye.html 06/12/2009 13:00:00 F KENYA RIP is the work of Highlife, AKA Sleepy Doug Shaw from White Magic. You can read about the awesome genesis of this great song at the NME blog. Sleepy Doug told us the phrase he repeats in F KENYA RIP has "been heard as 'Les Dames a l'eau', which though probably spelt wrong here, roughly translates as 'The Ladies in the Water, but the actual phrase is Madame Zehae Ala.'" So now you can sing along. Sleepy Doug (I love that name) kindly sent over a newly mastered version of that song and took time to answer our 321 questions. After the jump he tells us about Lions in Comas and hanging out with RZA. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/321_Highlife.html 06/10/2009 15:00:00 Gold Panda is responsible for my favourite sentences of the year: "I'd like to see a monkey slap that Bare Grill (or whatever his fucking name is) idiot. I'd like to see a monkey slap him off a fucking cliff." Read more at this week's Dollars To Pounds on the FADER blog. Here is his dizzying remix of Telepathe's classic (already?) Chrome's On It sent our way by the lovely Laser Club who play host to Mr Panda this Friday night at the Legion. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Going_For_Gold.html 06/08/2009 10:00:00 There was a girl who lived in London town, but the scenes and sounds they would only bring her down, and yet she did enjoy that weekend spent dancing to weird disco in the basement of a Dalston chicken shop, but actually that was probably just the ketamine. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Bronze_Age.html 06/05/2009 10:00:00 The title of this Memory Cassette song reminded me of an awesome old reality TV show called Shattered which was like Big Brother except people were only kicked out when they fell asleep. It was boring until the fourth day when the remaining contestants started talking to invisible dogs and forgetting how to walk and see. I don't remember how it ended, but maybe Friend does. Maybe that girl who went blind imagined herself to an island paradise where she danced to steel drums that were never really there. Or maybe she won a car. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/The_Young_And_The_Restless.html 06/03/2009 21:00:00 Dear Internet, recently we have neglected you. Sorry about that. Expect a higher frequency of our bullshit over the coming weeks. Thankfully, this drivel will be backed up by music so good it will make your ears bleed daydreams. At our NME blog you can grab a new track from the spookily great Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. It's coming out on the amazing Big Love Records, for whom we have enormous affection. They're also releasing this skronked-out, Afro-Bontempi marvel by Jessie Evans , which just about makes reading this paragraph worthwhile. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Doctor_DAmour.html 06/03/2009 18:00:00 Banjo Or Freakout! Phil Spector! Laser Owls! Gentle Friendly! Exclusive Ronettes cover and EP track! All at this week's FADER blog. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/June/Freak_Scene.html 06/01/2009 19:00:00 School Of Seven Bells, Hitchcock and one shot videos at the NME blog. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/Long_Shot.html 05/28/2009 15:00:00 "I like how people describe me as 'synth player'. Quite literally do not know what one is. I thought a bass was a synth the other day." Marina (And The Diamonds) is awesome. Further proof (and a brand new Shoes remix of I Am Not A Robot) at this week's FADER blog. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/The_Diamond_As_Big_As_The_Ritz.html 05/26/2009 23:00:00 His songs may sound like urgent warnings delivered from a metal cloud at the bottom of the ocean, but Gary War is a romantic at heart. "Everynight is about being completely broke and not giving a fuck because as long as you have love, nothing else matters," he told us. "It's about wanting to be with that person every night." What a sweetheart. Read more from him and grab his amazing Using at our NME blog or keep reading after the jump to hear about Meow Mix, Brandon Lee and Meat Whiplash. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/321_Gary_War.html 05/21/2009 14:00:00 FADER's new Icon issue is all about David Byrne. Awesome people are interviewed because they represent different facets of his awesome personality, people like Grizzly Bear (avant pop), Theophilus London (early adapter), Dutty Artz (borderless collaboration) and Michael Bell-Smith (audio/visual). I interviewed Micachu And The Shapes because they are (awesome) inside outsiders. Download a magic pdf of the issue, then listen to this excellent remix of Lips by Clark Kunt which came from Rough Trade via the amazing Dalston Oxfam Shop. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/Feel_The_Byrne.html 05/20/2009 00:00:00 At our NME blog Radiant Dragon gamely explains his cosmic, capacious sound. Head over there to listen to Oysters from his forthcoming EP. Here we have Cloud Seeding. "It's about the fantasy of flying," he says, "the freedom of open skies, and wanting to share that dream with somebody else. That combined with this is the dark feeling you can get during flights - the alienation of travel alone. Isolated and distant from people but still connected to your loved ones and wishing they could join you on that journey." http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/Above_The_Clouds.html 05/19/2009 16:00:00 For this week's FADER blog I spoke to Male Bonding (again), because they rule. Head over the internetlantic to grab their killer cover of Baby Gecko's Dino. Catch them on tour with Vivian Girls over the next couple of weeks or spend Saturday at Sexbeat's Radfest, where MB will be joined by lots of our favourite bands like PENS, A Grave With No Name, Thee Fair Ohs and BBQ treats (this last one is not a band, it's tasty burnt meat). http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/Word_Is_Bond.html 05/18/2009 18:00:00 The moments before we sleep are usually filled with dread. Tomorrow might be the day they finally catch up with us. Thankfully we now have Blue Roses to gently persuade us that everything will be OK. On this b-side from her forthcoming single she coos about calm and the sea. She doesn't mention the shotgun by our alarm clock or our forthcoming facial reconstruction surgery, but we know they help too. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/Never_Bed.html 05/14/2009 10:00:00 FADER column time. This week I spoke to awesome beatmakers Paul White and Bullion about things that traumatised me as a child. Make sure you grab the exclusive mixes they made for us. They rule. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/White_Gold.html 05/12/2009 10:00:00 His Clancyness returns, stage left. "Hey, His Clancyness. Because my heart itself plays My Heart Is Full Of Woe why don't you play some merry dump to comfort me?" "Sorry, dude. I'm still kind of bummed out myself. But I do have a rad new Nite Jewel sample..." http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/Silver_Sound.html 05/06/2009 22:00:00 Over at our NME blog Thee Fair-Ohs were nice enough to tell us about their ferocious sub-sixty-second single, I'm A Woman I'm Your Wife. The trio also went big on our 321 questions. Check out their epic answers after the jump and sample some of their favourite tracks, from Pharoah Sanders to Billy Childish. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/321_Thee_Fair-Ohs.html 05/05/2009 15:00:00 The second installment of my new Fader column Dollars To Pounds is up now. This week I had a chat with the amazing Mnek, a 14-year-old pop prodigy from South London. He wrote his first song, Shawty, when he was eight ("it had the WORST metaphors and rhymes so I try not to bring it up!") and has since moved on to incredible Shakespeare-referencing pop anthems like Nose Job (which I first heard at the always excellent Illegal Tender). [Continues at FADER...] http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/May/Young_Gun.html 05/04/2009 18:00:00 Since we last caught up with them, The Big Pink have grown bigger, much bigger, and maybe even a little bit pinker. This rough-hewn gem is a b-side from their new single on Big Love, our pal Haruka's excellent new Japanese label, who you may know from their recent SALEM 7" . If you are ever in Tokyo visit Haruka at her Escalator emporium. She rules and her carrier bags are excellent. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/For_Whom_The_Bell_Tolls.html 04/29/2009 14:00:00 I've started a new blog for our pals across the pond at FADER. It's called Dollars To Pounds and will be up every Monday (I was a bit late this week, expect that to happen a lot). This week's edition is all about The xx whose awesome new video is above. Find out who they think the sexiest vampire is and download their new single Crystalised at FADER... http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/Pound_Notes.html 04/28/2009 18:00:00 We spoke to the awesome Suckers about writing anthems over at our NME blog. Here Quinn Walker from the band tells us about eating avacado pits, the Chordettes and what rhymes with purple. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/321_Suckers.html 04/28/2009 11:00:00 We were sad when One More Grain parted ways last year, but sometimes break-ups can be positive. Like when Kelly and Dylan split and she had to deal with a drug-addicted mother, got hooked on weight-loss pills, got caught in a fire which left her partially burned, joined a cult after being brainwashed by one of her professors, got addicted to cocaine, got pregnant with Brandon's baby and had a miscarriage, got shot at at the airport, then got raped before killing her attacker. Kelly eventually became a guidance counsellor. Things also worked out alright for Gyratory System who rose from the ashes of OMG as a kind of awesome zombie marching band. Buy the 7" on Hansard Records. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/What_Goes_Around.html 04/23/2009 22:00:00 How To Turn Psychedelic Scottish Sunshine Into Sweaty Dalston Strobelight, Part 359. Starring The Aliens and Disco Bloodbath. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/Party_Monsters.html 04/22/2009 16:00:00 If there's one thing I like more than the arrival of a new digital-dancehall-horrorcore-surf-ragga album, it's the arrival of one which claims to be by "a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984." (Continues at NME...) http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/Zombie_Nation.html 04/21/2009 12:00:00 When they're not busy booking bands like Abe Vigoda, Graffiti Island and Hype Williams for their rad parties, our dudes at Sex beat are knee-deep in cardboard and sellotape, creating lovingly packaged, limited-run albums. They also have the best handwriting we've ever seen. Their new compilation features all those awesome, noisy, DIY bands we go on about, like KASMs, Twin Lion and the mighty Male Bonding, whose contribution we have here. There are only 100 copies of Sexbeat 002 available so grab yours while you can. Tracklisting after the jump... http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/Sex_Sells.html 04/11/2009 12:00:00 Icy Demons are the latest sonic scamps to join the lovely and evermore eclectic Leaf Label. Our photosynthetic pals will be putting out the Chicago (via Canterbury) supergroup's latest album later this month, while flexing their roster with a new compilation called Don't Run Over The Birds, Please. We have a couple of download codes for the comp to give away. If you'd like one, drop us a line. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/A_New_Leaf.html 04/07/2009 12:00:00 For the longest time we have been meaning to write about Internet Forever. They recently sent us some amazing new songs, but they're still being mastered, so for now here is the charming Break Bones. It balances twee, fuzz and handclaps in two minutes of Layer 1 loveliness. See them at the Wilmington Arms this Saturday. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/Breaking_Bad.html 04/06/2009 12:00:00 Video : Rainbow Arabia - Omar K : In which... um. Wow. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/Rainbow_Warriors.html 04/02/2009 18:00:00 While we wait patiently for the ridiculous Kanye West cover of Banjo Or Freakout's Mr No to hit the internet, here is an epic, swirling remix from Phaseone and a henched up version from Radiant Dragon. The good people at Half Machine Records have put together a souped-up, bonus disc-heavy package for the new EP which you can order from their shop, but frankly nothing will prepare you for the mess that is Yeezy's autotuned dreampop extravaganza. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/April/Yes_Man.html 04/01/2009 11:00:00 Video : A Grave With No Name - Underpass [directed by Anupa Madawela] : In which a lonely piano crumbles away. This is a good year for stop motion. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/Things_Fall_Apart.html 03/31/2009 22:00:00 If you were to plunge elbow-deep into our brain and collect all your finest finds onto an album it would sound a lot like the new No Pain In Pop compilation. From the ecstatic crash and hiss of Gentle Friendly and Ponytail to the hazy whispers of Banjo Or Freakout and A Grave With No Name, this is a perfect primer on current awesomeness. Listen to the wonderfully woozy entry from Trailer Trash Tracys here, then head over to No Pain In Pop and reserve yourself a copy of their finest hour. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/No_Pain_No_Gain.html 03/27/2009 15:00:00 Like Randy the Ram our pals at Greco-Roman have ridiculous hair and are way past their prime. But they still throw awesome parties. They've found a new party space in Dalston and this Saturday (ie TOMORROW) sees the first of a series of epic East London blowouts. Guests include Trevor Jackson, Wild Geese and Drums Of Death. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/Comeback_Kids.html 03/27/2009 11:00:00 CFCF always has cool videos that recycle strange and awesome movies in the same way his music revises and rejuvenates the Balearic sounds of summers past. You can watch his latest Tommy Boy-directed and Tommy Courtenay-starring opus over at our NME blog. Here CFCF (AKA Mike Silver) tells us about great films, Bryan Ferry and Fozzy Bear. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/321_CFCF.html 03/24/2009 14:00:00 Over on our NME blog we compare Teeth!!! to a cheeseburger because they are awesome, satisfying and probably not that good for you. Here Simon from the band tells us about fungus, sneezing and "a bowl of dicks." http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/321_Teeth.html 03/24/2009 14:00:00 Thanks to John Waters and The Wire, Baltimore lives in people's minds as a seething pit of gleeful perversion and municipal degradation, and somehow the music made there meets those bizarre expectations. The last time we went to Brighton it was not like Baltimore. It was nice. Like London, but smaller and cleaner and with a beach. Cold Pumas are from Brighton, but their raging kraut funk lashes like a loose Ponytail, channeling childhood into dreamy raw-riffed jams. Maybe Brighton has changed. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/Brighton_Rock.html 03/23/2009 10:00:00 Video : The Horrors - Sea Within A Sea : In which the macabre mob return with a motorik neu sound. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/Back_To_Black.html 03/19/2009 20:00:00 We wouldn't be doing our job as a music blog if we didn't mention this year's SXSW and how we are not there. We are in the internet, not Texas. NewVillager are there though, spreading their joyous, psychedelic chant-pop throughout Austin's dusty, booze-stained streets. Read about them at our NME blog, and after the jump they answer our three little questions. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/321_NewVillager.html 03/18/2009 14:00:00 If you've ever wanted to hear Elvis crooning about clams, Stephen Malkmus singing about oysters or Ghostface rapping about octopus, then this is the mixtape for you. Our friend Fume Avanti has put together a crazy collection of songs about molluscs of every kind. It covers almost a hundred years of incredible invertebrate music and it might be the most awesome thing ever. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/Sunken_Treasure.html 03/17/2009 14:00:00 Video : Detachments - The Flowers That Fell : In which a lyrical reference Algernon Charles Swinburne and a visual reference to Wilfred Owen dissolve into sombre, literate death rock. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/A_Glass_That_Ran.html 03/12/2009 14:00:00 In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan, from Milan to Yucatan, every woman, every man is watching the new Golden Silvers video and laughing because it rules. The dapper London trio's spiffy new single reboots the loquacious UK funk of Squeeze and the Blockheads, and gets a deranged remix from Micachu and Raisa (of The Shapes) under their new M.A.T.H.E.S. guise. Das ist gut! C'est fantastique! http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/New_Romantics.html 03/11/2009 09:00:00 London duo Hype Williams have a song called White Mike, which is, in part, a tribute to the lunkheaded drug dealer from The Wire. "Our 'chemist' at the time had the same name," explains the band's Roy Nnawuchi. "Between waiting for his calls and watching that show, the name seemed to come up a lot." You can hear more from Hype Williams at our NME blog, and after the jump, the polluted and lacivious duo answer our three little questions. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/321_Hype_Williams.html 03/10/2009 12:00:00 Video : Simian Mobile Disco - 10000 Horses Can't Be Wrong : In which SMD, Bok Bok and Kate Moross attempt to finish off any epileptics they missed last time. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/Fitter_Happier.html 03/09/2009 12:00:00 "In 1256, Bologna promulgated the Legge del Paradiso or Paradise Law, which abolished feudal serfdom and freed the slaves." We don't know what promulgated means, but the Legge del Paradiso sounds awesome. 753 years later, His Clancyness recorded his new Hissometer cassette in Bologna. His twinkling dream pop sounds like it is governed by paradisal laws. Perhaps he knows what promulgation is. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/This_Side_Of_Paradise.html 03/06/2009 14:00:00 Video : Rogues - Not So Pretty : In which a nude demon baby (a doll on a wire) leads us back to the 1980s. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/Boys_On_Film.html 03/05/2009 14:00:00 We've been under Your Twenties spell since last year, when Cau ght Wheel soundtracked our misspent summer. Recently, the awesome Transparent mag unveiled some amazing new demos from the band, which led us to tracking down frontman, Gabriel Stebbing. He took time out from the Metronomy tour to speak to us about their bittersweet paean to Annie from Elastica (over at our NME blog) and to answer our three questions. In a neat twist of fate, we've just received an oven-fresh remix of Caught Wheel from the mighty Gold Panda. Enjoy. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/March/321_Your_Twenties.html 03/03/2009 14:00:00 Video : The Big Pink - Velvet : In which the Radar Award winners get masochistic and monochromatic. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Tie_Me_Up.html 02/27/2009 14:00:00 Our mobile phone provider used to have Eple as their customer services hold music so now the merest mention of R******p fills us with rabid, unbridled rage. These days we can only deal with R******p in remixed form, which is where the Holy Fuck dudes come in, cooling our boiling blood with their low-slung, galactic swagger. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/And_Relax.html 02/25/2009 14:00:00 If you've heard The xx's slowburning, new wave cover of Womack and Womack then you are probably as excited as us about their debut record. Yesterday, the good dudes at Young Turks released photos from the quartet's album recording along with demos of some their loveliest songs. The LP isn't due until September so we will have to stay this excited for six months. That could hurt. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Future_Trading.html 02/24/2009 11:00:00 We know your world is weary and everything is paling away into the murk. We know your cities stand in the grayness like charcoal drawings sketched across the waste, and your children will soon run, frail, dirty and alone, through broken, empty streets, but really dudes, it's not all that bad. Stop whining. There's a new Phoenix album out in May, and based on this first taste, it will be fucking amazing. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Silver_Lining.html 02/23/2009 16:00:00 Dum Dum Girls is the deceptively plural disguise of Dee Dee from LA, who has been thrilling our blog bros with her fuzz-soaked melodies and recent collaboration with fellow DIY enthusiast, Blank Dogs. "It's a very futuristic way of being in a band," she told us. "It involves downloading and uploading." You can hear more from Dee Dee at our NME blog and read her short and sweet 321 answers after the jump. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/321_Dum_Dum_Girls.html 02/23/2009 12:00:00 "Probably the UK's hottest music blog." Thank you, Sunday Times. We think you're hot too. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/In_The_News.html 02/23/2009 10:00:00 Maybe we've fallen through a wormhole and it is actually 2007, but dubstep is really exciting at the moment. You Don't Know What Love Is sounds like a jeep anthem, Joker looks like a hero and, as our pals at Discodust point out, Skream's La Roux remix might be the best of the year. Did anyone ever expect it to become this fun, tense and sexy? We didn't. But then we're idiots. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Step_Back_In_Time.html 02/20/2009 10:00:00 Emmy The Great's album has been a long time coming, but it's finally here and is as sweetly acidic as we'd hoped. It's called First Love, like her new single which is out next week. Read our interview with Emmy at our NME blog. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Great_Expectations.html 02/19/2009 14:00:00 We thought Phoenix's expertly curated Tabloid compilation would be our favourite collection of old songs this month, but we hadn't reckoned with Greg from Acid Girls and his beautiful Magical Musical Box mix. On it he joins the dots between Tones and Tail, Robert Wyatt and the amazing jazz harpist, Dorothy Ashby, while still finding time for Iggy Pop and Autechre. We're doubly blown away by this because Ryuchi Sakamoto's Rain reminded us of our favourite baroquebeat rave anthem by Shut Up and Dance. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Heart_Shaped_Box.html 02/18/2009 14:00:00 Even though Banjo Or Freakout is busy finishing his debut album, he still found time to dish out this gorgeous cover of High Places' already lovely From Stardust To Sentience. He basically rules. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Intelligent_Design.html 02/18/2009 14:00:00 Dan Deacon's new album, Bromst, is as inventive and madcap as anything he's done, but it's also filled with regret, sadness and hope. "It's about ghosts and cycles and growing older," he told us. After the jump he provides some surprising and revealing answers to our three little questions. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/321_Dan_Deacon.html 02/17/2009 14:00:00 When we spoke to Salem last year they told us to look out for Chicago resident DJ Nate because, "he's da trak genius" and "he makes the best footwork." You can see why they're fans. Nate's traks are weird, frantic and disorienting, like a mental breakdown you can dance to. http://www.pinglewood.com/2009/February/Feet_First.html 02/14/2009 12:00:00 "Budweiser, Sprite, do you feel alright?" doesn't look like a promising lyric on paper but at as GvB point out, it's just one of many reasons why Real Estate are awesome.
