What do you do when the airline breaks an important piece of your equipment and doesn't make itself liable? If you are a musician, the answer is easy:
record a song, shoot a videoclip and get more than 3.500.000 visits in Youtube...
Who said there's no such thing as bad publicity?

Omar Souleyman
Omar was a very nice surprise at the Sonar'09. European electronic scene seems to have not very much fresh things to offer when some of the best performances of a so called advanced music festival are veterans such as ethiopian Mulatu Astatke or the same Omar, from syria...

Kitty Daisy & Lewis - Going Up The Country
This was the cutiest concert from Primavera Sound'09...
Kitty Daisy & Lewis are no ordinary band. The three siblings -- now aged 15,18 and 17 - first came together onstage at a country and rockabilly jam in a North London pub. Over five years later the 50s music, fashion and technology obsessed family have built a massive word of mouth audience through a stream of rapturously received gigs and festival appearances and are ready to release their first long player on Rob da Bank's Sunday Best label on 28th July 2008.
The single 'Going Up The Country' is a perfectly rounded summer holiday feel-good jam, full of harmonica solos, handclaps and lyrics about leaving the city smog for fairer country hills. Coming out on 7", authentic 78rpm 10", CD and download on 7th July 2008.

Au Revoir Simone - Dark Halls
Like characters coming out from the film "The virgin suicides", the Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone use expertly layered synths, ethereal sounds, and a slightly disturbing naiveté image...

Little Boxes -Malvina Reynolds
And yet another one for the TV section. This time is the song used in Weeds. Recorded by Malvina Reynolds in 1963, it renders a tongue-in-the-cheek critic to the suburbian life. A fantastic idea from the producers was to use different versions from the same song, so as the season of Weeds advances, we can listen this funny song covered by artists such as Elvis Costello, Regina Spektor, Linkin Park, The Decemberists, Engelbert Humperdinck, etc.
