Loading ...Music Ulrich Schnauss: Just Say Ja
by Shop Keeper
Germany’s Ulrich Schnauss has a knack for weaving together various forms of electronica, as he puts it in his Red Bull Music Academy interview, “in the widest sense of the term.” Schnauss is the self-proclaimed product of both 1980s German dance music, the likes of which had been started by Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, and other bands from across the spectrum of shoegaze such as The Cocteau Twins and Slowdive. But it’s Schnauss’ sixth sense for fusing these elements together which makes it work, the result of years of obsessive practice and label-hounding. While some of it verges on the sentimental side, there’s gems like “Stars”, where dampened percussion and a sort of ambient drone enhances the lyrics of a vagabond narrator, while “Between Us and Them” best captures Schnauss’ knack for capturing something between melancholia and restlessness, giving a sort of spectral feel to music that needs no words.

by Joshua Glazer
You can bet Jack White doesn’t like music blogs. It wouldn’t be surprising if the proudly retro guitarist-vocalist of The White Stripes doesn’t dig on YouTube either. So it would probably please him to no end that when he and partner Meg White played a series of off-the-cuff public shows in Canada (a bowling alley is Saskatoon, a YMCA in Toronto, a city bus in Winnipeg) during the band’s 2007 tour, this sort of obvious blog fodder flew under the radar of all but the most obsessive web citizens.

Loading ...Comic Books Film Are You There, Hollywood? It’s Me, Niki : Enough With the Remakes!
by Shop Keeper
Lately there’s been a trend growing amongst filmmakers to reboot, remake, or re-imagine certain ideas. Most noticeable of them all: you guessed it — the SPIDER-MAN franchise. Since 2002, we’ve only known Peter Parker as Tobey Maguire, Mary Jane as Kirsten Dunst, and Sam Raimi in charge of capturing the world they live in. As of mid-January, that all changed. Marc Webb, who helmed 500 DAYS OF SUMMER is now the new director of the teenaged Spidey reboot. Right now there are no other details, but it brought about a good question—why all the remakes?

Loading ...Event Featured Gallery The Art of Bleeding at Club Circus
by Zoetica Ebb
Art of Bleeding is a performance art troupe dedicated to warping its audience, one pseudo-medical extravaganza at a time. With former Cacophony Society leader Rev. Al Ridenour as its intrepid founder, AoB are notorious for their multi-media shows featuring a real ambulance, injured “patients” ensnared by medical equipment, fetish nurses ready to ambush attendees, traumatic video projections, and of course, puppets. I’ve been dying to witness this madness for myself ever since seeing the act described as a “paramedical funhouse”, and on Saturday, I finally got my wish. The Art of Bleeding crew took over one of the massive rooms at Circus Disco during this year’s first installment of Fetish Nation - a dance club night dedicated to electro-industrial music and some aspects of the BDSM scene.

by Shop Keeper
Anyone remember these guys? I have something to get off my chest: As a heterosexual male, I got a lot of crap in my youth for liking the Pet Shop Boys. Still I remained rock-hard and steady in my Showboats, knowing that in between my copy of Olivia Newton John’s Xanadu and the soundtrack to Yentl I could find a copy of the album with “West End Girls” on it. All you haters, laugh if you want but it makes for a kick-ass soundtrack to a game of frisbee football or badminton even if repeated blows to the head have forced you to keep it to yourself on your iPod. The PSB (as aficionados such as myself refer to them) first gained infamy through that aforementioned track, and with New Order producer Stephen Hague playing on their team, that was all she wrote. Listen to Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe reminisce on Red Bull Music Academy Radio. Put on your (Domino) Dancing shoes, young man, and Go West!
