| Volume IV. Week of January 24, 2008 |
Fave movement of the moment:
Scandinavian Indie Rock
The Norwegians own Black Metal, and the Icelanders own post-rock. The Swedes have taken over punk rock –just look what The Refused did for new-style hardcore with The Shape of Punk to Come, and what The Hellacopters & Backyard Babies did for retro-stoner, garage punk! But unbeknownst to most, the Danes and Finns have been battling it out over who shall reign supreme in the realm of Indie Rock for quite a while now. Mew, Kashmir, Carpark North, Superheroes, Spleen United and EPO-555 have all at one time or another drifted in or out of the offices of Denmark's Crunchy Frog Records, but just a stone's throw away in Finland, bands like Lapko and Disco Ensemble are throwing down the gauntlet and making some great music, too. This is a battle I'd be happy to view from the sidelines for a good long time... Zookeeper's Boy has been in my iPod top ten for almost a year now... |

LAST WEEK IN MUSIC HISTORY: |
ALBUM COVER OF THE WEEK:
 John Zorn – Naked City
First of all, the image is a photograph titled "Murder in Hell's Kitchen" by Weegee. Arthur Fellig's alias has become synonymous with crime photography, and this image not only singularly epitomizes his groundbreaking work, but is also highly indicative of the music to be found on this John Zorn project, which is a collection of thrash/jazz interpretations of classic noir themes that still pushes the envelope now, almost twenty years after it's release. This record was released on Elektra's Nonesuch label, but Zorn has since established his own label dedicated to wonderfully eclectic artists and genres called Tzadik. Many of the releases on that label are designed by a very talented artist named Heung-Heung Chin, whose work is bound to be spotlighted in a future edition of this very feature. |
