Song Of The Day

Wednesday, 08. September 2010

Today's song of the day comes to you with a little help from my girlfriend, because she told me about this wonderful band from England playing a mixture of blues- and bluegrass-music. Mumford & Sons debutalbum "Sigh no more" is out on Island Records and is the perfect soundtrack for ...

Song Of Yesterday

Tuesday, 07. September 2010

Yepp, I still owe you Monday's song. It's from the new self-titled album of Interpol and the single is called "Barricade". The album has been recorded with bassist Carlos Dengler who, unfortunately, left the band after the recording. He will not be touring with the band. Unlike many other bass-players ...

Music | Eternia & Moss “At Last”

Monday, 06. September 2010

I've slipped a bit on posting a review of Eternia & Moss' At Last. The record, which dropped in June through Fat Beats Records, pairs two Canadians - Eternia on the mic and Moss on the boards. Probably obvious, given the MC/Producer title combo and the Fat Beats Imprint, but ...

Song Of The Day

Wednesday, 01. September 2010

I am no fan of skinny dudes in suit and ties in a music video. But Thee Attacks from Denmark just deliver the right kick in the face with their super-retro, mod-inspired sound, paying tribute to The Who, The Kinks and the like. "Love In Disguise" is from their current ...

Song Of The Day

Sometimes there's nothing else to say... "Fuck You" by Cee-Lo Green. Nasty piece of funk.

Slayer “The Vinyl Conflict”

Thursday, 26. August 2010

No need for a lot of words here, this is about f*ckin' Slayer, so eat this: ten albums on 11 vinyl discs. All the American Recordings albums, remastered from the original flat master-tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl. Each album has an individual jacket with the original artwork and 12x12 insert, ...

Until The Light Takes Us

Friday, 20. August 2010

Finally this documentary made it to Germany, a good opportunity to give it some space here on The Reference Council. "Until The Light Takes Us" tries to chronicle the history, ideology and aesthetic of the early 90ies Norwegian black metal, one of the most extreme, violent and threatening chapters in ...

Ignition Orafying Mysticle Re-release

Thursday, 05. August 2010

Anyone worth their salt when it comes to good original know, by the title alone, what this means. This long out of print 12" EP is being re-issued on August 16th and is limited to only 300 copies. The best thing about it is that Dischord are accepting pre-orders now. Pre-Orders ...

Fender's Custom Shop - my dream work place, is releasing a series of new repro models for the 60th anniversary of the Telecaster. The first in the series to be released ( only 60 are made ) is the Telecaster Proto; a reproduction of the prototype guitar that Leo Fender ...
