And if the white stripes steal your idea and that New York band again


People always think that covers are just random picks, well actualy to the audience it may appear so. But to the band it mostly some kind of weird statement. (just ask the kills why the play drop out boogie)
Anyway I'm going to dedicate this post to two reasonable good covers:

White stripes playing Tegan and Sarah: Walking with a Ghost
When I was putting together a some favourite new covers this summer, that was pretty much simple as .... and sounded owk then Tegan and Sarah where the first who popped in my mind. Anyhow, what are you with an idea three months before the a ex-indie band, now main streamers beat you in style? Not much.
So bye bye my cover, and helloha White Stripes.

The White Stripes-Walking with a Ghost (Tegan and Sarah)

Maximo Park playing Isolation (John Lennon)
I missed Maximo Park earlier this year at pukkelpop. This track is more a reimagination than a cover. It is also something to me as medication against missing Maximo Park. I know John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band isn't really his most, let's say, productive time, but again who wants another version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamond Rings (yes that is to all you Trekkies). So let's all give this nervous ADHD a chance and listen to this nice re-take on the Isolation.

Maximo Park - Isolation

Hmm remember a few posts ago I talked about a certain band from New York, well they did some live shows and I stumbled on this track from a cd perhaps with the title first impressions of earth. But anyway it seems that are doing Hawaii now. (oh I really suck at being cryptical)



Hawaii Aloha

In Memoriam Marraine

You will be missed, and didn't deserved dreadfull dead.

Could it be?

The site is back on tracks, and just look to my comments. Yes SPAM comments, but all in all I think it is time to start knitting for me.

I wanted to say something about the trial including Panamarenko(just because the "metal" brothers love him) and Jan Decleir, but I think the Pan. his lines would be something like this:

P:"Eeewww uuuueeaaaah aaaahhaaah."

Anyway for I was just surfing through the web and found this weird mp3. It is from a certain band, I think they are from NY city and I think it is the guitar player one where the guitar player not only snatched the riffs from another NY band with hits like "Rio" and "Girls on Film", but also his girlfriend. (mental laugh)

Here is the MP3 the other side


And now let's go cheezy, I hope you get better soon Stella.X


That is all your host
Randy Warhol

If you think so

Before I start my posting I want to excuse me before Matthis and his twin-brother Fré. I wasn't able to see their concert tonight due to transport problems.

So let's roll!

What is on the menu:

Starter:

Beautiful New Born Childern

A domino-label band? yes. Quality? Surently. Domino really has a good taste in looking for new hot bands, and BNBC are no execption to that rule. They make that kind of punk that is faster and more nervous than any hives track, more arty than any bloc party track. You could compare to them to a more listenable version of the post-punk heroes Pop Group.

Hey hey heartbreaker

Main course

Gang of four

You probably already know that the original line-up of Gang Of Four have reunited. You probably already know that they're back with a new(well new is a big word let's call it recycled) album called "return the gift" where the double disc version of the cd contains a remix album, where they got help from the Yeah yeah's, the others, the dandy warhols, the rakes, (famous booters) GO Home Productions and many more. Because you should get out there and buy this record, for the simpel reason that is an essential record to remember as something more than wrong retro parties.


I love a man in a uniform (orginal version)


I love a man in a uniform (Yeah yeah yeah remix)


Dessert

Bill Gates is a convict!

If you don't believe me here is the proof: Convinct!


I hope you enjoyed it all!

You only live once

Yesterday has been slightly hectical, that is why I didn't post. But don't worry my lovely readers. Here is another post straight from RW HQ.


So what is spinning?

xbxrx
Weird name, well they got from WOII. And I quote:"the American commander replying to a German demand for his surrender at Bastogne in WWII, simply "Nuts."".
They're the more political and have a sharper edge than Le Tigre. So raw punk and electro. Bringing the finest pogo to the dance floor. Oh and having opened on tours with admirers such as Sonic Youth, Peaches, Unwound, Mr. Quintron, Deerhoof and Q and Not U, I don't agrue with this lads.

Here is ... Beats on roll


Liked it? Well buy their record, due to be out soon.


Matson Jones
"Hello it is rice to meet you"
The Italian song is immediate due to stick in your head for the next three weeks (more is always possible). Finally a band who makes decent rocksongs not completely in English and with use of cellos, bass and drum, without sounding like another slowly dying cat. They sing in Italian, almost accentless, but are from Denver and don't worry they sing the same in English in the 2nd verse and chorus are in English.

Italian Song

That is all folks.

Your blogger of your choice RW

In it for the ...

Yes unbelievable, another update on such a short basis.
Today's things that struck me:


Not the only one writing
When I logged on today I noticed a link to Pete Townshend his blog/book. Yes mr. Who is writing a blog or rather a "book" in blog-format. Just check out his profile. I just love the part where he writes with his "interests" my fabulous girlfriend, wasn't he the one who was arrested for something with internet-childporn? And wasn't his excuse not something to writing a book about it?
Anyway RW is also currently writing a novel, but hey RW isn't that much in to the research thing.


So what else happend? Met a Greek the other day but he was just here on holiday, RW will remember him with this phrase: "Greek women are alright as long that they don't have a mustache. Amen to that!

So what is spinning today?
Does nice kids of Ninja High School. Canadian? YES, Weird sound use? Yeah. Nowadays it is as important as having "The" in your name 2 years ago. And why on earth do RW put it on this site. Because it are bunch of hiphoppers. No, no fifty cent-a-likes, they are party starters, with a good knowledge of song-writing. (Yeah the world is going wild today!)
Check out there track:
Shake It Off

RW out to conquer the world!
RW might be "injured" at the moment(eye thing,have to put some weird liquid thing in me eye, very clockwork orange style), but this gives perfect time to review my last conquest of this summer. Paris.ATTACK

Regarding to the Tom Verlaine show:
Pictures: no, but you should try to find may be on Jem Cohen his site or on fusebox (the event Cohen was hosting last saturday).
Setlist: Hard to say because they were slightly modified songs of older songs, and like I said most of them were played with a band who didn't knew the songs in advance.
Please keep checking out the site.

Yours Truly
Randy Warhol.

the one day the post come back

After various battles against flying dragons, human-flesh eating babies, crazy professors attacking us with principals of our society, Randy Warhol has returned.

First up world shocking news, after having mtv2 (a dream come true?) I got pretty much bored with after day 3. I missed surfing hours on the net to see Arcade Fire their video in a way to small box.

Next up, for the moments the band is doing all righty. For all you new readers, yes there was a time the band-deparment wasn't going too well, but that is history and now we're aiming to conquer to world, CANADA WATCH YOUR BACK!

Let's give you a peek:
favourite song of the moment: Italian song by Matson Jones
favourite album of the moment: Broken Social scene by Broken social scene

Last wensday I went to see Bikini Atoll, but didn't that long. It was their first visit to Belgium, and they were making at Ghent's I-know-that-you-know-me pub de video. Let's blame the PA for the first two songs, but after some minor adjustments it was already and wonderfull. For being post-punk and sticking more to the genre than their fellow countrymen do (see Bloc Party and ...) they create a beautiful soundlandscape. Bikini Atoll was mixing acoustic sounding guitars, with a blip and bzziii (but if you want to know the instrument it was Groch, happy?) none the less I wasn't sounding over the top but the band always balanced between noise and harmonies. Bikini Atoll is comparible with old school sonic youth but without the scratching guitars.

Tom Verlaine, Vooruit, Balzaal
Saturday 15-10-05
Tom Verlaine isn't the most likely person to be household name that you could imagine. May be Marquee Moon, Television or Patti Smith ring a bell?
No?
Well Television was one the first bands to preform at CGBS, even before the Ramones, Tom Verlaine was their front-man. They were very big influences on the strokes Is This It album, even so that the strokes tried to deny it but just listen to Fricition.
The release of Marquee Moon in 1977 was their high-point, but just like with some many NY bands after their debut album the lights went out, and he went solo and guitarist with Patti Smith, though it isn't really clear how deep their relationship went.
Weird enough, this "indie-god" was never a big arena rocker, he even had a hard time to fill this venue with 30 fans, who were waiting for more Television like songs. This show was a part of Jem Cohen's fusebox, who was a mix of culture and activism, and yes those provincial wannabe arty(-farty) Ghenters weren't really into all this "weird" project. (Remember Gem's speech were they didn't even have the manners to shut up). I couldn't blame them for the reason that they wanted to hear good music and perhaps a band who rehearsed the songs Verlaine played. Verlaine gave soundlikes of his 'hits' the opener had a stricking deja feeling. Let's say 1880 or so. But Verlaine is a king in poetry and guitar-poetry (especially in Eminor-C). He took us to a new land of mystical guitarsounds. The last song was an more heavier song, (Juicebox gone RIGHT!!), and the audience even kept on screaming for more, but the golden CGBS rule was applied No Encores. Respect, my nigga!

Later More.

Love Your
Randy Warhol...
