Sorry for the slow posting...

Sorry folks, it's just that our exams are around the corner, and there's nothing that freaks us out more than the hustle and bustle of those long periods of time referred to as exams. And it ain't just a couple of days we're talking here, this bad-ass mofo carnage is gonna take us on a two-month trip straight to hell. So, once again, we apologise!

Make Yourself At Home

I came across Halloween, Alaska in an episode of the popular tv-series The OC, as we all watched it last winter here in Leuven, cause someone I knew had bought the DVD-box of the first 2 seasons, and we couldn't resist. We must have seen the first season in like a week, although we were all aware that when we first heard of this show, we all thought it was just some Dawson's Creek-like gay show for girls (and ok.. mainly it is), but we just really liked it; the great music in the show,the ironic undertone, it was all so very catchy!

But anyways, one episode there was this song playing and that's when I discovered Halloween, Alaska, with "All The Arms Around You Now". It's a pretty chill song, with a very nice ending in my opinion. But as I thought "yeah it's probably that one-great-song-in-whole-repertoire shit", I never looked for more tracks.

Well, a week ago, the same friend that gave me that OC-box last winter, told me that this band had some other great songs as well. And yeah, they actually do.
Their songs are all quite mellow chill-out indie songs with some electronic undertones, with "All The Arms Around You Now" as the most poppy song of their self-titled and second album.
You can get 2 of their songs here:

Halloween, Alaska - All The Arms Around You
Halloween, Alaska - You're It

Murderers

Although I'm not a big RHCP fan, John Frusciante's solo work is really nice!

Check out this song. Electro beats with some nice guitars over it.

He wrote this for his third solo album 'To Record Only Water for Ten Days' during the RHCP-tour in 2001, promoting their album Californication.

Don't know much about it myself, just thought it was a cool song.

It's also a nice reminder that he actually really is a great musician, which isn't really noticable on the latest RHCP album.

enjoyyy:

A Flash of News (update x 2!)

And great news it is. It appears that the beloved Bloc Party has some spare time on their hands, and they're gonna use it to play at the Ancienne Belgique (also known as the AB)! The date has been set on April 25th, but so far no price has been confirmed. The odd thing is the ticketsale starts tomorrow, 10 o'clock! My advice: be fast, be very fast.
Other joyful news: instrumental post-rock group Explosions in the Sky is also gonna rock our humble city of Brussels: the AB will be welcoming them February 26th, tickets are being sold at a moderate price of 16 euros, don't miss out on it!

Tickets for Bloc Party available HERE, for Explosions HERE

!Update! Tickets for Bloc Party will cost 24 euros, which is quite reasonable.

!Update 2! Alas, Bloc Party is sold out...
