Tapes in the attic #5

On this chilly sunday afternoon, I don't especially feel the urge to go out of my appartment. But thanks to Iggy, I can listen to the Stooges and do the thing vicariously... Here is the song extracted from the 1970 album Funhouse. This Tape in the attic post is the last one. What will it be next time? Dunno.

Listen. Enjoy. Repeat.

French band Five ((O)) are about to release their debut album

Guys from Five ((O)) are about to release their debut album THERE IS A NAME FOR EVERYTHING on November 7th 2011 through label M&O Music. This album will be physically released in lots of french stores but will also be digitally available on the web through M&O/Believe Music. Here is a snapshot of Five ((O))'s first official video: "Coffin cruiser". Take a quick look at it. Hope you like it.

Some of the things I've done...

Here are some of the artworks I've made over the years. Most of them are posters for local gigs.

Tapes in the attic #4

This is sunday. 

There is not much to do. 

So why not posting another song from the attic?

Black ooze

An apartment at the top of an old building was recently burned to ashes in my neighborhood but don't worry because luckily nobody got hurt in the fire. Two days later, I got in the building with my camera and took some photographs. I really like the shots. They quite look like sets for some kind of post-apocalyptic Silent Hill movie.

Tapes in the attic #3

Tapes in the attic blog #3. This time: an old Black Sabbath tape that I found in the very same attic. Today is a misty and rainy day so I figured the following song will sound quite appropriate...

Captain Freedom is watching you...

I can't get enough of this s##t...
No comment...

Tapes in the attic #2

As a direct followup to yesterday's blog on old tapes the next contender is "Synchronicity" from british band The Police. If I am not mistaken, this very good Police album (note to myself: none of The Police albums is crappy) was initially released in 1982 or 1983. Some of you were sure not born yet but you should definitely lend an ear to this album. 

Listen to this marvellous song entitled: "Tea in the Sahara". If this song does not fly you up to the ceilling in relaxation then I don't know shit about music...

Enjoy!

Tone dead

This blog is a tribute to a mastodon/Isislike french band that I saw live recently. I really enjoyed the show they gave in a crappy bar in my hometown. Yet, halfway through the show someone told me this was their last performance because they were going to split right after the show. When I heard that, I took my camera out of my backpack and I taped one of their songs.

Check this out (it is followed by a Five ((O)) song)

Tapes in the attic #1

I like to snoop around and dig in the crates when the doors of an old uninhabited attic open up. I especially like old cassettes because they represent ancient soulful artefacts coming from a not-so-far era. At the time music was all about vinyls, tapes, plastic and sometimes wavering distorted sounds of sunburnt tapes... Even if I can't listen to them tapes anymore coz time did its part in fucking up these songs beyond any repair, I still enjoy opening these plastic cases and read old smelly covers... 

Here is a song from that old sex pistols tape:
