Plastiscines / Free NYC In-Store

 

The Plastiscines - Loser

Plastiscines are an all-female French pop/rock band signed to EMI/Virgin France. They derived their band name from The Beatles' song "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds", more specifically from the verse "with plastiscine porters with looking glass ties". They formed the band in 2004 and have released one album titled LP1. This past July, their drummer Caroline left the group with the consensus of the rest of the band (she was actually a replacement for a former Plastscines member).

From their Wikipedia entry:

The Plastiscines are one of several Parisienne teenage bands, referred to collectively as les bébés rockers. Paris Calling, a compilation album of music by several of them, was released in France in June 2006 (and was due for release in Britain in April 2007). It contained the Plastiscines' first studio tracks, Shake (Twist Around the Fire) and Rake. Those present at its launch included the French Minister of Culture, Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, and Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty. Such bands have tended to be scorned by some elements of the press for their bobo (bourgeois bohème or bourgeois Bohemian) backgrounds: in other words, they have been portrayed as "the spoilt kids of rich parents playing at being rock stars".

 

(Zazie Fait De La) Bicyclette

For you New Yorkers... Plastiscines will be in NYC this Thursday (September 6 at 5pm) to play an Urban Outfitters in-store at the SoHo location (628 Broadway) presented by Nylon and UO. It's free, but the only way to get in is if you have an e-ticket, which you can simply print out and bring with you. Although you may have a printed ticket, it's based on a first come, first enter basis. So, get there early if you can for a better chance of being admitted.

Tupelo Honeys

Oh What a Day

Tupelo Honeys are an indie-pop duo that create wonderful, catchy, pop tunes that please the ears. They're twins, Joel and Linn Edin, and hail from Sweden, the same home of great musicians such as The Concretes, I'm From Barcelona, Acid House Kings, El Perro Del Mar and others. They released their debut album in April of this year (July in Japan + bonus tracks) and have a video for "Boy You're All Right" which has a Michel Gondry-esque feel to it. I think it was the cellophane and tissue paper water that made me think it (from The Science of Sleep). They're album is available for digital download from iTunes or Klicktrack and on CD from A West Side Fabrication, CDON (Europe), or HMV (Japan).

Harry Potter and the Phenomenon of Wizard Rock

Hedwig's Theme

Today, the latest installment in the Harry Potter film series was released. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth film based on the popular book series by J.K. Rowling. So, it's only fitting that I post some Harry Potter related music. To kick this post off is the theme song. Arranged by award-winning and legendary composer John Williams, "Hedwig's Theme" was originally featured on the soundtrack to The Sorcerer's Stone (otherwise known as The Philosopher's Stone). It's since been featured in every Harry Potter film to date including The Goblet of Fire by Patrick Doyle and The Order of the Phoenix by Nicholas Hooper. Two teenagers who go by the name of Advanced Potion-Making created a rock version paying homage to John Williams and the series.

Lumos (Hedwig's Theme)

Williams was supposed to compose the soundtrack to The Goblet of Fire, but due to scheduling conflicts, he was not able to. Why? Well, he was working on a couple of small films that you might have heard of called Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Memoirs of a Geisha, and War of the Worlds. He provided the soundtracks to the first three films in the series, but for the second, The Chamber of Secrets, fellow composer William Ross helped to finish it and received adaptation credits. The Goblet of Fire was done by Patrick Doyle who also scored Eragon while The Order of the Phoenix was by Nicholas Hooper who scored The Girl in the Café. He's also rumored to be the composer of The Half-Blood Prince.


Now for some Wizard Rock! What is Wizard Rock? Well, basically artists create music all based on the Harry Potter franchise. It could be anything from Harry himself to some reference to potions or magic, as long as it has to do with the series. It's all for the love of music and reading. Now, there are way too many bands to post on here so I chose the ones I enjoyed the most. Besides, many of the Wizard Rock musicians only have one song in their repertoire. The below musicians have created more than one song and have been around for quite some time.

This Book Is So Awesome

The Wrath of Hermione

Harry and the Potters
The most popular of the Wizard Rock musicians and the guys that started it all are Harry and the Potters. They're two brothers named Paul and Joe DeGeorge who started the band in 2002. Joe planned a rock show in his backyard, but all the bands cancelled. So he grabbed his brother, wrote some songs, and played them for a couple of people. "This Book Is So Awesome" is only 30 seconds in length, so I also posted another song of theirs', "The Wrath of Hermione", which is unreleased.

In Which I Kick Harry Potter In the Face

Draco and the Malfoys
Draco and the Malfoys are two brothers, Brian Ross and Bradley Mehlenbacher who write songs from the perspective of Harry Potter's nemesis/adversary, Draco Malfoy. Not much info besides that, well except that they're from Rhode Island and they'll be touring the states and parts of Canada with Harry and the Potters until mid-August. But what else do you need to know?
Website | MySpace

I'm Ron Weasley

Ron and the Weasleys
Ron and the Weasleys, you can guess, are based on Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley. They're two brothers (yes, again) and each represent Ron at a different age. John represents "Ron" at year 3 and Mike represents "Ronald" at year 7. They started the band after booking a show for fellow Wizard Rockers, Harry and the Potters. After that show, other Wizard Rock bands started appearing and they felt the need to represent Ron Weasley.

Not Your Messenger

The Hermione Crookshanks Experience
EDIT: Thanks to Lauren from The Moaning Myrtles for pointing out that there IS a band (well two, but only one has music online) called Hermione and the Grangers. Well, here's a "band" based on her name called The Hermione Crookshanks Experience from California. It's a one-girl band; she plays guitar, bass, drum machine, keyboards, sings vocals and records on a MacBook.
MySpace

And Then I Died

The Moaning Myrtles
This girl-due based their name on the ghostly girl in the bathroom that does the weird whiny moaning, which could get annoying, but their music isn't. Just like many other Wizard Rock bands, they too were inspired by Harry and the Potters to create a band based on the series. And since Harry Potter fans seem to have this whole comradership, Alex Carpenter from The Remus Lupins provided some acoustic guitar on The Moaning Myrtles album.

Website | MySpace

Looking For Trouble

The Remus Lupins
Although the name is plural, it's actually one guy, Alex Carpenter. Here's the description from his site: "The Remus Lupins began when Alex Carpenter looked at his bookshelf and held his guitar in his hand. A sudden lightning bolt of creativity jumped into his fingers and he began to play, and to write songs about Harry Potter. Since then, he hasn't been able to shake the habit and keeps writing them." He's touring this summer with two other guys, though they're more of a backing band.

Website | MySpace

Your Flying Car

The Whomping Willows
The Whomping Williows is plural, but once again is only one person, Matt Maggiacomo. He also runs a "record label" called Cheap Rent. A little description... "We form friendships with bands and we do our best to help them release and promote their music. We also encourage our bands to maintain DIY ethics so they never feel the need to sign with a corporate record label." Most of the bands on Cheap Rent are Wizard Rock bands.

MySpace | Cheap Rent

Concerning the Dementors...

The Mudbloods
The Mudbloods are five guys from Texas who took their name from the derogatory term that describes a muggle-born wizard. Draco uses the term as an insult to Hermione since she is one. Much like the other Wizard Rock bands, The Mudbloods tend to play in uniform, sporting the sweater over a buttoned-shirt with tie look. Sorry, they didn't provide much info on their site.
MySpace

If you're curious about this whole Wizard Rock phenomenon and want to delve deeper into the enchanted maze, there are a couple of websites that have much more information and lists bands that currently either have music already or are just starting out.

Wizard Rock - "Your source for the latest in Wizard Rock"
Real Wizard Rock - "Lyrics for your favorite Wizard Rock Bands"
Wizrocklopedia - They "aim to record the past, present, and future of all things related to wizard rock and hope to shed more light on the movement itself."
Wizard Rockumentary - "The Wizard Rockumentary is an independent feature length documentary exploring Harry Potter fandom, the Wizard Rock community, and the goals of these musicians to promote literacy."

So, check those sites out and watch the film when you can. The IMAX version supposedly has some crazy 3-D ending. And the last book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, comes out July 21.

Cato Salsa Experience

Cato Salsa Experience "So, the Circus Is Back In Town

I was going to post Puffy AmiYumi today, but I see that Vu already has, so... I was browsing tracks by Puffy AmiYumi and came across an album they appear on called I Love Guitar Wolf... Very Much and noticed that Cato Salsa Experience was on it too. I remember a couple years back watching MTV2's video block (it wasn't Subterranean, but the one that played in the wee hours of the night) and they featured their music video for "So, the Circus Is Back In Town". The drums grabbed me immediately and the beginning riff was catchy. Then the lead singer started singing about a circus and I fell in love with the song.

Cato Salsa Experience "Lovesick"

They also have an interesting video for "Lovesick" in which the video starts out as them playing as aged men and over the course of the video progressively get younger. While watching the video, you'll notice that there are only three band members. That's because their keyboardist, Nina Bjørndalen (aka Nina Delay) left the band in August 2003 "to pursue further education" (source). No hard feelings between them though; it was a respected decision.

You Ain't Gonna Know Me 'Cos You Think You Know Me

Two Bands and a Legend

After Nina Delay's departure, the band replaced her with Bård Enerstad and recorded 1 album as Cato Salsa Experience and 2 others with jazz trio The Thing and jazz musician Joe McPhee as Two Bands and a Legend. They created a live five-track EP called Sounds Like a Sandwich and a self-titled studio album featuring covers of songs by PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Led Zeppelin, and others. Both feature plenty of prog-rock/jazz pieces, but the track that's a more conventional jazz song would be "You Ain't Gonna Know Me 'Cos You Think You Know Me". It features a soft, melodic tempo as opposed to their other tracks that are high-energy and hectic. The studio album was released this year, but I'm not sure if Cato Salsa Experience are working on new material since their website doesn't offer information on any upcoming releases. Perhaps they'll be working more with The Thing and Joe McPhee.

Fourth of July

The Hollies

The Hollies - Sandy (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

Bruce Springsteen - 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)

"4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" was written by Bruce Springsteen for his 1973 album The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle. "The choir is really one female singer with lots of overdubs. Springsteen wanted to use a children's choir, but ended up using Suki Lahav. She played with the band from September 1974 - March 1975, but was not credited on the album." (songfacts.com). The English band The Hollies covered the song which appeared on their Super Hits album.

The Beach Boys - 4th of July

"4th of July" by The Beach Boys was released as part of the 1993 box set Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys which is a four-disc set containing classics and rarities. It also included a bonus disc "that mixes music and vocal tracking sessions with rare live material". The song was written in 1970 by Dennis Wilson and Jack Rieley and originally intended for their album Surf's Up "as a veiled comment on the alleged suppression of the NY Times by the US government ... but was pulled by Dennis after an argument with brother Carl over sequencing the album" (source).

Galaxie 500 - Fourth of July

This song is taken from Galaxie 500's third album, This Is Our Music, which was also their last album as Galaxie 500. After their breakup, Dean Wareham went on to play for the now defunct indie rock band Luna and started the duo Dean & Britta with fellow bandmate, Britta Phillips. Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang went on to play under the name Pierre Etoile, but later changed it to simply Damon & Naomi. They were also part of the short-lived band Magic Hour and run a book publishing company called Exact Change. (link: video)

Sunday Morning - July July

This song isn't patriotic, but it's called "July July" and I thought I'd post it anyway since it's July. Anyway, Sunday Morning is a band from Cesena, Italy and comprised of five-members. They've released a free 4-song demo in 2005 under Midfinger Records, their current label. Their debut album Take These Flowers to Your Sister features the four tracks ("July July", "Ellis", "From the Basement", and "Is That Racoon Sweeter Than Me") from that EP. And just if you're wondering, they sing in English despite being from Italy.

Tetris Music

Having 30 contributors to this blog, there are a bunch of different musical tastes and it's great to share all of it to open ears. Although I think we're neglecting some genres... one being game music.

Tetris Game Boy Box

Back in the early '90s when I was a child, a little handheld gaming console made a splash in the gaming industry. This device I'm referring to was the Nintendo Game Boy. It was released in 1989 and shipped with the addictive puzzle game Tetris. I was only three when it was first released, but I still remember playing it at age five when I was first introduced to it... always leaving one of the sides empty, anticipating a stick or "I", trying to fill up as many gaps as possible with the other six tetrominoes falling, but the "I" never appeared and soon it was game over.

Original Cover

Tetris was first created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov on an Electronika 60 with the help of Dmitry Pavlovsky and Vadim Gerasimov. It was loosely based on a "classic geometric puzzle board game 'Pentominos'." (Tetris.com) In became popular in Moscow and after some legal copyright disputes, made its way to the Nintendo Game Boy. Pajitnov "derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix "tetra-", as all of the pieces contain four segments, and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport" (Wiki - G4 interview on 'Icons'). There's also a whole history page on Tetris.com.

 

Ozma - Korobeiniki

The music is highly addictive even with its lo-fi, 8-bit sound. The most popular song that many artists have covered and has become known as "The Tetris Song" is "Korobeiniki" (Russian: "Коробе́йники"). There's also a variant/original called "Kalinka" that starts out slow and increases in speed and suddenly stops. It's "a Russian song based on a poem with the same name written in 1861 by Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov and printed in the Sovremennik magazine in 1861. Korobeyniki were peddlers selling fabric, haberdashery, books etc. in pre-revolutionary Russia." (Wiki). In the original Game Boy edition, it's called Music A. Music C is called "French Suite No. 3 in B-Minor" by Johann Sebastian Bach (which is my favorite). I don't have any information about Music B, the opening song, or the high score song. They all can be downloaded in mp3 format from KH Insider.

 

Type 1        Opening Song
Type 2 (A)   Korobeiniki by Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov
Type 3 (B)   Unknown Title
Type 4 (C)   French Suite No. 3 in B-Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach
Type 5        High Score Song

There are a bunch of videos on YouTube of Tetris parodies and people covering the various songs. Below are a handpicked few.

Flight of the Conchords

 

Albi

Flight of the Conchords

Flight of Conchords are a duo from Wellington, New Zealand; Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie. They are, in their own words, "New Zealand's 4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" or in simpler terms, "New Zealand's fourth most popular folk-parody duo". Most of their performances include acoustic guitars and humorous banter. They probably received the most recognition (in the US) from their appearance on HBO's comedy series One Night Stand in which they performed seven songs; the whole show can be viewed on Google Video. When I first saw them, I was wary of the whole comedians-with-musical-instruments routine, but these guys actually mix the instruments with their witty material really well. They recently signed a 12-episode deal with HBO for a self-titled series about them "trying to achieve success in New York City as a band" (Wiki).

 

Frodo

Flight of the Conchords

They released an album in 2002 of live material called Folk the World Tour featuring 2 studio-recorded tracks, "Something Special for the Ladies" and the Lord of the Rings inspired "Frodo". In 2005, they wrote a six-part, half-hour radio series for BBC Radio 2. "Presented in a 'mockumentary' style the series follows the duo's move to London and all the trials and tribulations they encounter along the way; from being shot by an arrow and dealing with stalker fans to the threat of the band breaking up. Interspersed throughout, are songs which seem to fit each situation" (SmokeCDs). In 2006, it was made available through Audible, Amazon (Canada) (UK), and SmokeCDs.

Issues / Think About It, Think Think About It

Flight of the Conchords

Aside from Flight of the Conchords, Jemaine and Bret have other side-projects:
Jemaine was part of The Humourbeasts with Taika Cohen (who is also credited as Taika Waititi). I don't know much about the project, but from this thread, I gather that it was a theatrical sketch-comedy duo. Jemaine is also a screenwriter/actor who co-wrote and co-starred in a movie called Tongan Ninja which is an english-dubbed english film done in the style of poorly dubbed martial arts movies about a ninja trying to save the woman he loves. Jemaine played the villain, Action Fighter/Marvin. And in 2006, he appeared in a couple of Outback Steakhouse commercials.

Pencils In the Wind

Flight of the Conchords

Bret is part of an 8-member band called The Black Seeds with a "reggae, dub, funk and soul" influence (site bio) and also has a solo project called The Video Kid which is more electronic, synth, folk sounding. He was an extra in The Fellowship of the Ring as an elf and nicknamed Figwit by fans which is an acronym for "Frodo is grea...who is THAT?!?" And thanks to some hardcore fans, Peter Jackson gave him a speaking part in The Return of the King. There's a fansite called Figwit Lives! dedicated to the elf and the man who played him.

Jemaine will star in a film called Eagle vs. Shark written and directed by his Humourbeasts pal Taika Cohen (Waititi). It's a "tale of two socially awkward misfits and the strange ways they try to find love; through revenge on high-school bullies, burgers, and video games" (IMDb). The film has received much praise including winning Best Screenplay at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival and being the Official Selection at both the Sundance Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival and is set to be released on June 15. Their HBO series will premiere two days later on June 17, but if that seems a bit too far, the full pilot episode can be viewed here. Much more info about Flight of the Conchords can be obtained from a great fansite called What the Folk!.

Cari Palazzolo and Belaire

Cari Palazollo is from Austin, TX and part of Belaire along with her twin sister Christa and Voxtrot's Matt Simon and Jason Chronis. She has a solo project called Fancy Feast, yup, just like the cat food. Go ahead and google "Fancy Feast" and you'll see many results for the food instead of her. She's also been part of other bands such as Fozlur, Arkay, and Flashlight Fiction.

Fancy Feast has released one EP titled Nagasaki Hiroshima Raver Ghost Dance Remixxxx, which features the track below, "Whatcha Need Girl", and is worth picking up since it packs so much awesome into six songs. There are also two tracks available for your listening pleasure over at Judah Records' audio page that were taken from this EP. She also has a self-released album of 20 tracks, which includes the songs from the EP. As of right now, the only way to purchase the cd is by sending her a message through Belaire's MySpace page or emailing her (belairemusic [at] gmail.com).

Belaire will be releasing their debut LP, Exploding / Impacting, sometime in July. But if that seems too far away to satisfy your ears, they have a self-titled EP available that comes with hand-crafted cd cover art and a 7" vinyl, Haunted Castle, featuring 4 tracks with a ghouly, spooky, Halloween theme.

In addition to the EPs, Belaire and Fancy Feast were part of the Kanye West tribute album, Indie Translations of The College Dropout. Belaire covered "Through the Wire"; the song that launched Kanye's rapping career and featured samples from Aretha Franklin's "Through the Fire", but this version is far from that. It's free of samples and full of synths and keyboard action. Fancy Feast covered the final track, appropriately titled "Last Call". It's a synth-filled, female-vocaled version sans the Jay-Z intro and Kanye's lengthy story.

And Cari was also in a band called Fozlur which consisted of 5 members. I couldn't find much information about the band since their bio consists of an odd story about the Fozlur Institute and not them in general, but they do have a website and their releases are freely available for downloading.

As for the other members of Belaire...
Christa Palazzolo is also a painter from Queens, NY and has had exhibitions at galleries in Texas as well as New York. Her and Cari were part of the band Arkay along with Richard Kentopp. He's in a "band" called Books Died On and the EPs Summer and Fall and Love Me, Hate Me feature vocals by Christa, which can be streamed on Last.fm. I put "band" in quotation marks because Books Died On isn't exactly a band; it's basically him and other members who he feels like playing with, which includes Cari and Christa. Cari and Richard were part of an instrumental band called Flashlight Fiction with their friend Reed Chapman. They created two albums/EPs; the first was self-titled and the second was called The Production Cycle and both releases contained seven tracks and are available from Judah Records.

And the guys from Voxtrot are set to release their self-titled debut album on May 22 featuring all new songs. So if you have their other releases, you'll be happy to hear that there won't be any re-recorded versions of those songs.

Since I compacted so much info up there, here's a list of Belaire's projects/bands:
Cari Palazzolo - Fancy Feast, Belaire, Flashlight Fiction, Arkay, Fozlur
Christa Palazzolo - Belaire, Books Died On
Matt Simon - Belaire, Voxtrot

Night and Day

According to Holidays on the Net, today is Fred Astaire's birthday. So, I thought I'd post a song he's made popular that many musicians have covered.

"Night and Day" was written by Cole Porter and is part of the Great American Songbook.  It was written for the 1932 play Gay Divorce and was featured in the 1934 film adaptation, The Gay Divorcee. Fred Astaire sung it in both the play and the film. In 1946, a movie called Night and Day was made starring Cary Grant as Cole Porter and Alexis Smith as Linda Lee Porter. It's about "the fictionalized biography of composer Cole Porter from his days at Yale in the 1910s through the height of his success to the 1940s." More information about the song can be obtained from the Wikipedia entry.

Now, for the goodies... below is an overload of the various covers of the song including Fred Astaire's and Cole Porter's versions. If you can believe it, there are even more! Sorry for the odd alignment, but I can't seem to get everything aligned the way I intended. Vu came to the rescue.

The Fratellis

Creepin Up the Backstairs

Chelsea Dagger

The Fratellis are a 3-member band from Glasgow, Scotland that formed in 2005. The origin of their name is debatable. First, "fratelli" means "brothers" in Italian. Although the members in the band aren't brothers, "brothers" could suggest a sort of brotherhood or close relationship. Second, some believe the band's name was derived from The Goonies in which the last name of the family of criminals is Fratelli. And third, supposedly Barry's (the bassist) surname is Fratelli.

They've released one album called Costello Music, which featured the song "Flathead". They're probably best known for this song since it was featured in Apple iPod+iTunes ads.
