It is 2 AM. And I am looping.... looping through email, Face-book, MySpace, 3voor12, bank-account, my other email, Skype and back to MySpace. To add a friend. I am addicted. It is true... and it is about time I admit it. I discovered it about half a year ago... This constant need for in-formation. A need for constant updates on trivial situations. The high point (or low point) is that I started to develop a Pavlov-ian reaction to the ‘ping’ sound of incoming mail. The moment I hear it I stop everything I do and start rubbing my touchpad. That sounds obscene, I know. But it is an obscene situation. Sad, really. The comforting part is that I am not the only one. Who else is replying to my emails? But... something tells me the new chique is to not answer emails.

new music: namedroPPing by bob van heur

Fucking hell. It’s already April, and bands still haven’t stopped

releasing albums. And while you’re still trying to catch up they bring on re-releases. Yes, it’s a never-ending

story! And on top of the fact that Michael Jackson is back together, there is a lot to look forward to. For example the new and promising Dirty Projectors album called Bitte

Orca. I say Talking Heads on LSD. The single ‘Stillness’ can already be found online. And If you can’t wait for the entire album, their bass player and vocalist Angel Deradoorian just released an EP on Lovepump United—yes, the label Health are on, who will release their new single ‘Die Slow’ in early April. I’d say it’s made to be a dance-floor hit: Totally Health, but with an ongoing beat instead of their infamous weird breaks. Speak-ing of dance-floors: First you’ll have to check out the American version of Justice, Guns & Bombs. Their debut album will be out soon, on Kitsune. Scenes of the Jokes is the new hype from Canada. I personally think it’s way too slick, but I’m sure people can go wild on this music… Speaking of wild... and fuzzy... Check out Tyvek from Detroit, Intelligence on In the Red, Obits on Subpop and Harlem with their brilliant song ‘Psychedelic Tits’. Strangely enough, this brings me to the band The Clits - electro punk from Portugal. Is it good? No, I don’t think so, but their friends are the Brazilian duo Lucy & the Pop-sonics, who remind me of The Kills and who have a new record out on the

French Nacopajaz label. Also from Brazil: electro pop DJs The Twelves.Moving North of Brazil to fuzzy pop band Chikita Violenta from Mexico. They’re pretty addictive. Starting to like all these exotic places? Here we go: BLK JKS from South Africa. A band compared to TV on the Radio. I’ve just received sketches from their new album, which will most likely be mixed by Sean Beavin (NIN, Slayer). And yes, this is the future of heavy metal, free jazz and electronica... All on one record. Out in October (EP out now). And now some real name-dropping. Bands worth checking out: Thao Nguyen and the Get Down Stay Down, Suckers from Brooklyn, Azeda Booth from Calgary, Stars like Fleas from NYC and Ungdom-skulen from Norway (also check their funny vids). More next time. And if you can’t get enough please visit Motel Mozaique, Roadburn, STRP, Domino Festival or one of the million shows coming up in April. Oh, before I forget... the new Pink Mountain-tops album Outside Love. Anthems, Godspeed-style soundcapes, drony garage rock and pure ‘American Song-book’ writing. Unmissable!

Yuri Landman builds guitars for bands like Sonic Youth, Blood Red Shoes, dEUS and Liars. In this article Landman explains how he uses Wikipedia as an important tool in the

success of his business. He has created an information struc-ture that on several occasions has pleasantly bitten him in the

tail. Not only his guitars feedback... his writings as well.

Everyone knows you should never blindly trust in the content of online encyclo-

paedia Wikipedia. But due to the newness of the medium, not many people have directly experienced the full effect it has on the valua-tion of importance.

Its misleading impact lies with-in its popularity. Wikipedia consists of millions of articles about almost everything. It is the world’s fifth most visited website and following many web searches, typically it’s the first information source offered about a subject. Roughly speaking: Google and Yahoo tell you where to look, Wikipedia tells you what something is.

If you’re seeking an in-depth piece of knowledge, the tail of any article, complete with references and links, is a great jump-off point. If there’s no additional sources in the tail of the Wikipedia article, chances are you’ll stop searching for more info. But this is a minority of usage anyway. In general, users stop after being convinced by Wiki-pedia. Amongst a web of millions of websites, it enjoys a monopoly

position as an information centre.In the past, much debate has

taken place discussing whether an encyclopaedia written by dilet-tante volunteers could become bet-ter than the acclaimed Britannica. Comparison tests were carried out and in terms of accuracy, Wiki-pedia scored slightly better, with fewer errors detected. In terms of quantity of articles and knowledge depth, Wikipedia won hands down. Although Wikipedia was gener-ally regarded the best from then on, the test results are misleading. Tests can only quantify falsifiable facts (calculations, formulas, sci-entific facts, sports data, language errors, birth dates, etc.). Non falsi-fiable values about politics, social economics, religion, art and other inexact subjects can’t be examined neutrally and Wikipedia contains a huge amount of normative, biased and subjective information. Be-sides, Wikipedia is based on con-sensus and consensus is not nesse-carily the truth.

Trained as a chemical analyst, I learned in my studies how to

11

structure academic and scientific texts in a suitable manner. Sources are always obligatorily in scien-tific texts. This quality valuation is also desired on Wikipedia. Oddly enough this is its most underesti-mated disrupting aspect, because it leads to an indirect paradox called information loop or information feedback.

Initially not familiar with the inner world of Wikipedia, I started an article about my Moodswinger guitar design in January 2007. The website captured my imagination because I could immediately see what a powerful promotional tool it is. I understood promotion was an unpopular motive for usage, how-ever, and because my instrument looks odd for people not familiar with prepared guitar playing, I took a second step to prevent the article from being deleted by officious monitors: I created a HOAX page. It was an article with the self-made-up term ‘3rd bridge guitar’ about several instruments working with string division resonance, summa-rising Harry Partch’s Kitara, Pre-pared Guitar, Glenn Branca’s Mallet

Guitars, Sonic Youth’s screwdriver playing technique, Bradford Reed’s Pencilina and closing with the Moodswinger. To hide my conflict of interest and to avoid hunting restrictive moderators reverting my edits, I also added much infor-mation about Leo Fender, Sonic Youth, Liars, Bradford Reed, Glenn Branca, et al, all alongside the in-formation about my instruments.

Another trick I used is called ‘coatracking’. I added information about my work and related topics in as many neighbouring articles as possible. I created a spider web of maybe a few hundred articles, ref-erencing my Moodswinger, Moon-lander and Springtime guitars, as well as related acts and techniques such as Enon, Liars, Half Japanese, 3rd Bridge, Prepared Guitar, String Resonance, or whatever other suit-able interlink. The aim was to pre-vent deletion, but it also laid the foundations for a huge promotional platform.

In short: an article about the Moonlander guitar could be de-leted for lack of relevance. Start-ing an article about Lee Ranaldo,

continue 13

with the notifi cation he was listed number 33 in Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Best Guitar Players of All Time will prevent a deletion, because the guitar player is regarded as highly infl uential by an authority, thus the acceptance of the article about the guitar increases.

The power of Wikipedia as

a promotional tool spiralled further than I could ever ex-pect. An illus-trative personal example: In 2008 I started a Dutch coatrack article about Rhys Chatham, considering it might be a useful connection be-tween contemporary classical mu-sic, minimal music, Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth, 3rd Bridge, experi-mental rock and my own work as a guitar luthier. It was a pretty objective article with one slip of the tongue, mentioning enthusiasti-cally: ‘…is one of the most promi-nent composers of this age.’ It was

a subjective observation other contributors didn’t recognise. Art related articles have a tendency to contain biased information, often not sourced or sometimes based on externally published reviews

by critics, which are not facts but opinions from an

authority. Not many people care about

this enough to erase these notifications. Besides, you’ll never win an editing contest

against the mas-sive volume of

fans of Queen, Ra-diohead and U2 who

contribute always way too profusely about their beloved act.

Eight months later I was asked to give a presentation at the State-X Festival in Den Haag. When I met with the programmers they were considering booking Glenn Branca. Now I’m not sure… it could be that programmer Jan Borchers remembered Rhys Chatham doing something simi-

people care about this enough to

sive volume of fans of Queen, Ra-

diohead and U2 who

lar with guitar orchestras, but my gut instinct was that he had read Branca’s biography on Wikipedia (translated to Dutch by me) and then remembered Rhys Chatham, because he’s mentioned in the Branca article (coatracked by me). Chatham’s G3 set-up utilises a smaller number of guitars and for that rea-son is easier to arrange for a festival. It’s suggestive but coincidental be-cause the festival then approached Chatham to perform there instead of Branca. It immediately seemed strange to me, in that Chatham was not very known in Holland.

After they had booked Chatham I then received an invitation to be one of the guitar players for the performance. I was excited and felt honoured to be asked, so, unsur-prisingly, I confi rmed to join. When I then received a press release

about the festival, I was confronted with this text about Chatham: ‘…is one of the most prominent compos-ers of this age.’

They had copied the Wikipedia article for a press release! This was

all feeding my superstition they had read the article

before booking. And then a journalist

from de volk-skrant mailed me: ‘You are part ic ipat ing on Chatham’s G3. His musi-

cal composition is considered a

masterpiece. Do you agree and do you want

to give an interview about it explaining why this musical piece is so unique?’

I was giggling. This was getting a bit embarrassing.

Before being misunderstood as a Wikipedia fraud or corrupter, my story is not made up at all. There are many very positive reviews about the composition, so the journal-ist wasn’t technically at fault. But

Wikipedia is based on a huge amount of nor-mative , biased and subjective information.

continue 15

what becomes apparent with this example is that this particular coa-track article functioned as a promo-tion catalyst and led to myself and Chatham receiving column inches in a leading Dutch cultural news-paper. This reaffi rmed my convic-tion that Wikipedia is such an effi -cient promo tool. All other reviews about the G3 are found in niche publications read by an inner core of fans. Wikipedia is a mass medium, and therefore another level of importance is felt, giving a dis-torted perception of valuation.

All explained before is pretty innocent. I hope adding infor-

mation about my work is culturally and musically informative, and also helpful and not solely commercial. The fact that I’m becoming bet-ter at the art of promotion doesn’t disrupt the overall content of this pseudo-encyclopaedia. Some bitter contributors without a strong affi n-ity towards noise rock will regard

my motive as contemptible, but that’s their problem.

Yet this information loop effect is something to wonder much more about. Journalists often grab in-formation from Wikipedia as their primary source. The majority will try to fi nd a bit of additional infor-mation, but when there is none I’m

pretty sure some will use only the Wikipedia ar-

ticle as their source. Journalists are

also very keen on rewriting the Wiki-pedia text in their own words, leading

to alternate versions of the story. After publi-

cation, Wikipedia contrib-utors use these media articles as a reliable source and add it to the ref-erence section in the article to fun-dament the bias. From then on, it becomes a sourced fact instead of a hollow opinion. That’s a circular reference feeding untruth and an unrealistic balance of what’s very important and what’s not so impor-tant. So be careful of information you take for granted.

my favorite food is Pizza. I draw and paint and write a lot of notes. Eventually all these notes will turn into Scrmn’s version of Lord of the Rings, and in 60 years Peter Jackson will make a 9 hour blockbuster movie about Scrmn and all the notes.

JupiteR: i was uncomfortable because it made me think of my

ex-girlfriend.. .

JUPITER (JU): Do you think this will be a good inter-view?

JOHN (JO): Yes I think so. But it’s up to you as well.

JU: How often do you do inter-views like this?JO: Never like this. But I do a lot of interviews.JU: I think its inventive of them to have the band members interview each other. What do you think?JO: I think its very inventive. The magazine gets a feature and doesn’t need a writer.JU: That’s very efficient of them.

JO: Do you not have to be good at your instrument because you have so many pedals?JU: Having a lot of pedals is cos-metic. It allows me to make mis-takes during shows, yet avoid the critical ear of most listeners.

JU: You have even more pedals than I do. How does that influ-ence your opinion of yourself as a musician?JO: I am a better musician than you.

JO: Who’s your favorite band member?JU: Naturally it is me. Without my-self I couldn’t have a favorite band member at all.

JU: Is your favorite band mem-ber yourself?JO: No.

JU: Last time we were in Hol-land everyone was very nice, do you have any expectations for our next trip there?JO: I believe low expectations are the key to happiness.JU: I agree.

JU: I heard that you ate psyche-delic mushrooms in Amsterdam. was that unnerving at all? how did it make you feel?JO: It was not unnerving, it was pure bliss. I was endlessly amused by the foreign sink I could not operate. Music was in-credibly visceral and powerful. I felt that nothing mattered and it was a great feeling. I almost hap-pily jumped off the balcony. It was wonderful.

JO: Why do you work so hard on such stupid music?JU: A lot of people ask this ques-tion. I think they are missing the point of the music.

JU: How do you like being in a band with me?JO: I like it alright, sometimes I don’t like the way you talk to me and the other band members. Al-though I dont have anything to re-ally compare it to though, this is my first real band.JU: I think you should listen to what I say more oftenJO: That’s a very nice thought, but I need to do whats best for the band.

JO: Why are we still waiting for your solo debut?JU: My solo career has been put on hold for this band. once we achieve a significant amount of recognition I will release an album of my own.

JU: How is your solo career de-veloping?JO: I never desired to have a solo career. But if you release one to

great acclaim I must release one as well to prevent you from overshad-owing me artistically in the public perception.

JU: What do you think it was like growing up with me?JO: That’s a very interesting ques-tion.

JU: What were you like as a child?JO: I was very talkative, very pre-cocious child constantly showered with attention, you?JU: My childhood was not like that.

JU: Do you think people will like the new HEALTH record?JO: I am very confident they will. It is a very good record.

JU: If they don’t, what will you do to avoid becoming miser-able?JO: I will do many things. But they will not work.

JO: What do your songs mean to you?

JU: I think the music of HEALTH is each member’s attempt to come to terms with their troubled past and how this has influenced their pres-ent state. I think this is why most people create art.

JO: Do you want to be in movies?JU: I don’t think i’m a very good actor, but I would love to be in movies.

JU: Have you ever been in a movie?JO: Yes, but only in films I have directed myself.

JO: I got a striking new haircut today and you didn’t notice it at all, despite me being in your com-pany for several hours. Why?JU: I was uncomfortable because it made me think of my ex-girl-friend and how important it was to her that I notice any change to her hair. I thought you might be disap-pointed in me if I didn’t display a proper amount of enthusiasm

about your haircut, so I didn’t say anything at all.

JU: I think your new haircut is very flattering. How do you feel about it?

JO: It is shorter than I had planned for, as it was drying I was wor-ried while very attrac-tive it might be too feminine. Now that it has dried I enjoy its “feathered” look.

JO: We see a lot of varieties of haircuts in rock music today, are you pleased with your own?

JU: I cut my own hair. Sometimes I’m very proud of how my hair looks. Sometimes I feel self-conscious.

JO: Your stage persona is very intense, does it suit you?JU: One of my earliest childhood memories is of a man telling me I had very intense eyes. I think many children didn’t stare as aimlessly as I often did.

In 2006 brak de Zweedse electro-act The Knife in Ned-erland door. Niet alleen met hun album silent shout

maar vooral met hun indrukwekkende theatrale live shows op onder meer Lowlands. The Knife bestaat uit broer en zus Olof en Karin Dreijer. Behalve over hun naam doen ze over de rest van hun identiteit ook flink geheimzinnig. Tijdens concerten zijn ze onherkenbaar en zelfs als ze geïnterviewd worden, dragen ze mask-

ers. Karin Dreijer Andersson heeft zich recentelijk wat meer blootgegeven. Hoewel.., ze doet dat onder de naam Fever Ray. Dat is ook de titel van haar net ver-schenen eerste solo-album. Hierop geen electropop à la The Knife maar lome, donkere, dreigende synthe-sizersongs die je veelvuldig naar de keel grijpen. Op de zwart-witte hoes is zwart de overheersende kleur. En op de clip van ‘When I Grow Up’ staat de Zweedse zangeres uitgedost als een indiaanse sjamaan, bij een zwembad waar ieder ogenblik een lijk boven kan ko-men drijven. Ook de beelden bij ‘If I Had A Heart’ zijn behoorlijk spookachtig. We zien voodoopoppen, een hotellobby met overal lichamen op de vloer en Karin die zingt met een doodskopmasker.

De muziek is duister en dreigend en doet denken aan horror- en suspensefilms, zoals de Lift uit 1983. Deze cult-film, met Huub Stapel en Willeke van Ammerooy, over een kantoorlift die zelfstandig mensen ombrengt, is één van de vroegste vaderlandse horrorfilms. Debuterend regisseur Dick Maas verzorgde ook de muziek. De spooky sound-track, gemaakt met een simpele Roland-synthesizer, bevat louter instrumentale nummers en draagt in hoge mate bij aan de unheimische sfeer van de film.

De laatste track op fever ray, ‘Co-conut’, begint met een duister intro van ruim drie minuten dat lijkt te ref-ereren aan het nummer ‘Vienna’, een hit uit 1981 van de Britse groep Ultra-vox. Ook deze track bevat veel dreig-ing en suspense. ‘Vienna’ is dan ook ultravox

fact check: fever ray vervolg


geïnspireerd door the third man, een klassieke thriller in zwart-wit uit 1949. De in alle opzichten donkere film, met Orson Welles als cynische zwendelaar, speelt in het kapot geschoten Wenen van net na de Tweede Wereldoorlog en geldt als één van de hoogtepun-ten van de film noir, een term die de Fransen bedachten voor een bepaald soort films met veel zwart in zowel de beelden (slagschaduwen!) als de thematiek (misdaad, moord en drie-hoeksverhoudingen).

Een heel andere Karin Dreijer Andersson is te horen op het nieuwe, derde studio-album van het Noorse duo Röyksopp. Op Junior staat vroli-jke, dansbare electropop vol rollende synthesizerpartijen. Karin Dreijer An-dersson is, zowaar onder haar eigen naam, de vocaliste in het uptempo ‘This Must Be It’. De opener van het album is het al op single uitgebracht ‘Happy Up Here’. Dit nummer bevat net zo’n aanstekelijk themaatje als hun kleine hit ‘Epple’ (uit 2001), dat inmiddels door diverse reclamemakers gebruikt is. Op het album zijn nog meer Scandinavische zangeressen te horen. Zoals de vorig jaar doorgebroken jonge Zweedse Lykke Li en Anneli Drecker, die al zo’n 25 jaar zangeres is van de Noorse band Bel Canto, een soort dromerige new wave-band.

film: mobile madness by gert verbeek

continue 35


Laat ik beginnen met een bekentenis: ik heb geen mobiele telefoon en er ook nog nooit eentje gehad.

Als jullie ondanks verbazing, ontsteltenis en afgrijzen toch nog kunnen doorlezen, kan ik direct geruststellend mededelen dat een leven zonder mobiele telefoon wel degelijk mogelijk is. De bios en de beller bijten elkaar gelukkig niet heel erg. De meeste mobiele bellers zijn zo galant hun apparaatjes uit te zetten wanneer ze plaatsnemen in de bioscoop. Wel hangt het er een beetje vanaf op welk tijdstip je in welke zaal bij welke


36

film: mobile madness vervolg

film zit. ’s Avonds een horrorfilm in Pathé bekijken is bij voorbaat risicovol. De film is dan slechts bijzaak voor de massaal aanwezige pubers, wiens displays tezamen meer licht afgeven dan het filmdoek. Nu zijn die telefoontjes in de zaal niet eens het ergste. Veel erger is het wanneer mobieltjes opduiken in de vertoonde film. Vooral de hedendaagse horrorfilm is sinds de komst van de mobiele telefoon flink gedevalueerd.

Geslaagde horrorfilms met een mobiele telefoon als centraal object bestaan niet. Mensen die de Aziatische films phone (2002) en One missed Call (2003) hebben gezien, kunnen dat beamen. In beide films zijn telefoontjes bezeten door kwaadwillende geesten en in beide gevallen zijn de slachtoffers te dom om te doen wat ieder zinnig mens in zo’n geval zou doen: het mobieltje subiet weggooien en een nieuwe kopen. De alomtegenwoordigheid van de mobiele telefoon in het moderne leven zorgt ervoor dat de scenarist van een in het heden gesitueerde horrorfilm er in zijn script ook niet omheen kan. De draadloze generatie zal het niet pikken als filmpersonages vergeten aan hun telefoontje denken wanneer de situatie er om vraagt. Omdat in een film alle spanning verdwijnt wanneer een belaagd personage de dichtstbijzijnde hulpdiensten kan alarmeren, moet in het scenario verwerkt worden dat hij of zijn geen bereik heeft en dat ook nooit zal gaan krijgen. Het we-hebben-geen-bereik-moment is in het horrorscript een verplicht nummer geworden en in de film voelt het ook aan als een verplicht nummer.

end 37


Een beetje creatief schrijver zal elke gelegenheid aangrijpen om dit saaie moment te vermijden. Zo niet de nogal domme scriptschrijvers Damian Shannon en Mark Swift van de overbodige, maar helaas wel zeer lucratieve remake van friday the 13th (Marcus Nispel, 2009). Zeven van de 13 potentiële slachtoffers die in deze film worden geïntroduceerd arriveren bij een pittoresk in het bos gelegen vakantiehuis, waar de mismaakte psychopaat Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears) huishoudt onder pas afgestudeerde Amerikanen. Voordat de jongeren het huis betreden, checken ze allemaal, zonder aanwijsbare reden, tegelijkertijd of hun telefoontjes bereik hebben. Natuurlijk is er geen bereik, weet de geërgerde kijker allang, niet wetend dat de saaie scène hier zelfs een volkomen overbodige onderneming is. Want wat blijkt later in de film: in het heetste van de strijd kan zonder probleem vanuit het huis via een vaste verbinding gebeld worden naar het locale politiestation (!). Het is erg genoeg om een we-hebben-geen-bereik-moment te moeten doorstaan, maar het is onuitstaanbaar als al die moeite helemaal voor niets is gebleken. friday the 13th is om nog veel meer redenen een inferieure film, maar gelukkig ontbreekt mij hier de ruimte om daar dieper op in te gaan.

“Geslaagde horrorfilms met een mobiele telefoon als centraal object bestaan niet.”

Deze maand word je overspoeld door levenslust. Actie en prestatie is je credo. Zou ‘t de uitwerking van de Eier-

maand zijn? Er is in ieder geval een enorme potentie bij je te bespeuren. Je gaat die hoge berg beklimmen met je beste vriend. Vergeet je je zekeringen niet? Je wordt nog wel eens beticht van roekeloos gedrag. Verder maak je eindelijk die langgekoesterde documentaire over de huilende lama van Tibet. Wat de liefde betreft ben je in een zeer romantische stemming. Jaja, de lente heeft zich in je lies genesteld. Je over-laadt je partner met presentjes. Niet die nieuwe Neil Young natuurlijk. Een fucking conceptplaat over milieuvriendelijke auto’s?! Jij droomt al tijden van four-wheel drives en lage ac-celeratietijden. Met je rijke fantasie verzin je wel iets wat uit je hart komt. Voor de single Rammen: haal de lente uit je lies, en in je huis. Niet met frisse pasteltinten en bloemetjesweel-de. Veel te soft. Nee joh, stof fun van Blues Brother Castro weer eens af. En hang die posters van Ram-genote Kim Wilde weer op. Hou je echter wel aan een strikte regelmaat om al die potente kriebels te kanaliseren. Begin je dag gezet met je krantje, croissantje en afstandsbedieninkje voor je dagelijkse portie teletekst. Je wilt wel weten wat er speelt. Voor jou geen reflectieve muziek deze maand. Daar word je enkel ongedurig van, zo niet agressief. Ja, naar Animal Collective ben je wel geweest natuurlijk. Elke noviteit trekt jouw nieuwsgierigheid. Je bent er altijd als de kippen bij. Zo ging jij al naar het Imagine Filmfestival toen het nog gewoon AFFF heette. En Art Brut kende je al toen zanger Eddie Argos dat Hitler-snorretje nog had. Jouw spreekwoordelijke RAM-geheugen zit deze maand zo snel vol dat ‘t telkens ge-reboot moet worden. Komt goed uit, want stil zitten is er voor jou niet bij.

Blues Brother Castroapril 4th, nieuwe anita, amsterdamBlues Brother Castro are back, baby! Those Amsterdam kings of rock ’n’ roll swagger have been laid low these past couple of years, getting on with regular life. But that hasn’t prevented their pow-er, desperation and high voltage bluesy riffage from echoing in our ears. fun? It sure was. Their gigs were a must two years ago. But, The next question is: will it continue? Or is singer Leon Caren des-tined to be penned behind The Moi Non Plus’ drum kit for yet another staccato rhythm sentence.

Dent May and His Magnifi cent Ukelele april 9th, bitterzoet, amsterdamFunny. I was recently looking at old school pictures—including some of a trip our 6th grade class made to Catalina Island off the coast of southern California—and I was reminded of a song about the island called 26 Miles (Santa Catalina) from the Dent May album. As I looked at the pictures I was telling my mom about Dent May and the song, and she started singing the lyr-ics! Turns out it’s a cover of a 1957 song by the Four Preps, and my mom knows it from when she was a kid. Ohhhh the cyclical nature of life. Funny.

Experimental Dental School april 17th, Patronaat, haarlemThe guitar bends to breaking point. Drums pump and crack. Crisp synthesiz-er samples crackle. One voice howls, the other coos. A sea of bass over a lake of pedals. This Portland, Oregon duo serve up some nerdy dirty jazz. Or is it vintage garage pop? Psychedelic world music? Synth fractured dance beats? Pretty? Yes. Ugly? Yes.

Sunset Rubdown april 20th, Patronaat, haarlemSpencer Krug is one of the key members of Montreal’s vibrant music scene. The cofounder of such bands as Wolf Parade, Swan Lake & Frog Eyes, Krug started Sunset Rubdown as his solo project in 2005. Even though Sunset Rubdown has evolved into a full band (including mem-bers of Miracle Fortress & Pony Up!),

Spencer maintains full control, indulg-ing in his dark, theatrical song writing like he’s being chased by some maniacal demon dressed in a quilt. Dancing the dance of the haunted.

Agaskodo Teliverek april 26th, Patronaat, haarlemScreamo, happy hardcore and surf, it says on their myspace. Hmm, sounds like a warm and weird party. Think Blonde Redhead on a lot of speed be-ing chased by Dan Deacon & Devo and you’re getting close to capturing the en-ergy of this quartet from London. Miklos ‘Miki’ Kemecsi (guitar), Tamas ‘Tomi’ Szabo (guitar), Hiroe Takei (vocals and keyboard) and Thomas R. Fuglesang (drums) are responsible for this instant party sound—pop music mixed with fast-forward beats, fuzzy sounds and some sonically soothing screaming. Wake up! If this doesn’t get you out of bed, then what does?
