Bomb To Kill Lice In A House

? - What is it? - A minimal tour electronically charged by the supply of alternatives.


Vamos

The Sónar one, if not the, most famous festival in the world, when it comes to the tenor electric. The line-up was in any case, once again not much room for non-compliance in previous requests. But there is always the same. Once you have realized what one wishes, one must sometimes be satisfied, be happy with it - and really. So I have to, all the rest I will not be easy.
I am, however, did come to me the much smaller "gifts", spontaneity or things which are attributed at first sight does not mean much to enjoy corner houses more than all the rest And because it makes me just a little, which I otherwise financially households have, I think it even fits me and corresponding develop differently, which was much hyped Sónar not even worth a thought on the edge.
Well, unbelievable, and before not too long ago not really imagine.
Was I still had a weak in the past, often in the last minute because of an artist and still be struck at the ticket counter, this time feeling completely. was on high-quality range it is not logical. Much more at the other view, which I certainly also due to my current environment, I first started to develop. Sun startled me from not only the admission fees (although the usual festival cut), but also one or the other thing that my Sónar simply could not offer that would for me but much more in accordance with the representation of my here and now. Which is simply the hard corners of the huge picture round, and make it thus becomes a fresh, colorful watercolor would.

La ciudad electrónica

Barcelona may be just the dream city for many, the must see in the upcoming summer. If you gives possibility to also connect to even with a festival, then of course that is doubly gratifying. It is usually only a few days in the city, as an estimated one million others, too. And since we are already at a thing to me in the last few days is several times happened. The Party tourism. One thing that is omnipresent throughout the year. At the time of Sónar but really out of control.

I see travel as an extremely important part in life. Nothing in the world can open doors in such a way to do things naturally and get back on the floor, like looking out over the (Austrian) box. I have traveled even the music for love in different cities and countries, but each time I've tried to smuggle into the flow of this. This worked wonderfully and I still did not have a second a negative experience. The agency in turn I run out clear as no coincidence, but rather simply due to the sympathetic and respectful attitude towards the city and the people. I have fun every time had more than enough of, from the friendships, some of which have now risen to very intense, to say nothing.
some point I then become a permanent guest and see myself more as someone who fulfills a different function, not the foreign tourists - this is a logical process. Therefore, I take a variety of behavior patterns of people differently. A bit sensitive because I've got to feel how it feels when taken with open arms, to respect be. If we remain true to himself.
These days it took to really speak any English to use as public relations. The only question is whether one wants as much contact at all. I need not, also because there is often a clientele with whom I could identify anyway before. And even if all the state Sónar as the main reason so many of them the real reason for the trip have already declared itself for much longer - the festival is because only the ticket, the "legality" quasi.
No problem for me. Everyone should feel at home, should be properly made by me can shoot through all the orbits and moons - Is yes also travel. But on Earth, because it winds its way through more easily if you follow some simple thing. Girls should have the better intus naturally than boys.
It's just difficult when every second of drunken German CF Barcelona fans, who have failed to halt the long celebration of three weeks ago, and believe only now having to make their contribution clearly, is accompanied by the day. The same is of course also with an Austrian accent. In both cases, it is likely that the stadium embarrassing songs added in the mother tongue. Generally, everyone believes that he must be the coolest thing in town. As if a man looks, the white I do not. Clock A bold, powerful sunglasses, banned from skin Easter Island affinity, tan around the nose and flip-flops make the soles's but not guaranteed. Much more, it needs to feel as if someone with a mirror in front of a her running. Seems the trend these days to be. If in my case even overheard one conversation or another yet, doubly bitter. Strong support also comes from British or Irishman. The difference is that here already in the morning just / still / already dead see - a bright red body color halt. And because I just had the pleasure of people to be chauffeured by a rickshaw along the beach side of Barcelona, I get the whole perhaps even one iota more extreme. Way for the locals anyway straight. It has plenty of time, one thing that all those holiday despite not seem to have. Maybe then back home ... ..

Oferta

The range of electronic music in Barcelona is really the whole year a never-before-seen phenomenon. What, however, romping around in the city when the Sónar pending weekend, that's really huge. There are not many renowned Dj's who have not made these days in Barcelona to support us with amazing beats to sweeten the day or night.
Many of them offered us in the course of several Off Sónar Fiestas alternative forms to be able to challenge without or with much less money an unforgettable weekend. The range was plentiful, there's a tiny excerpt here.
I took before actually going to a few of these festivities. Even so, planning is one thing that works here more bad than good, that's why you get the best out of this without a word. So I've got it just one of many made, but that was the most wonderful night for sure the last 27 years.

Musica

Those who could not have expected, which opened a music-filled weekend on Thursday. The scene was the Club Mondo at Port Vell . Brainfeeder called the event, and I had my first day really deserves something, then I would have let me Flying Lotus not miss. So I'm still in Mexico with Sugar stuck.
A Happening, which was originally scheduled fix and was organized by people from my friends, was the Save the Day . As the name implies, an event should one save the day. The line-up was more loaded with insider name, but should be taken off powerful. It started in each clock in the morning and by 11 with 15 € (including a drink) it was already there. Place of the event was the Maremagnum , a swimming complex in the port of Barcelona and in fact more shopping center, restaurant-temple and tourist strip. At three clock in the morning was the end. After that was one the whole night.
If you wanted but then to a party where skin a Dj's with more familiar names Soundfetzten around the ears, such as was the good old Helmut for assistance. Where does this name appears, there is but unfortunately, the Society usually not far - so in the following cases. He and his label International Gigolo Records it had in fact three days made comfortable in Barcelona. This would be the Friday was interesting, but after the legendary Fellini unfortunately, a victim was the (true) Club death, and since then the cheap name Boulevard Culture Club lights towards La Rambla, was that a reason is no longer there to go. Reminders one has to destroy not compulsive, even if my beloved track jacket was there at the time a new owner. The Showcase in Mondo would certainly have been worth a trip. The club has been lifted but that the only reason there ever a been put in to truly walk Flying Lotus would.
As he was also at the party people with less in Börsel thought the actual label's party was then on Sunday, but a little outside, but with the beach in front of the door, and affordable. A stone's throw of La Casita del Mar raised is removed to a place called Chiringuito Calamar . If it is in the La Casita still a limited (open air) Club, seek to the walls in the second case in vain. And that's a good thing. Both venues are located within sight of the airport. This area is called Circuit Prat and is one of El Prat de Llobregat , a village about 30 minutes outside the city of Barcelona. Actually, there is not much there other than idle land, the sea in its place of course limit. And aircraft.
Chiringuito Calamar is, as its name declares, already, a snack bar that is positioned in the middle at the local beach and definitely the place that I will until I die do not forget. This may be the most normal thing for many locals all over the world, so I kicked around as a single term Ländler properly. The
Dj just stood there behind a wooden table, looking onto an estimated 70 meters away, the beach, the crowd was dancing somewhere in between or in the water gymnastics, acrobatic to dizzying heights on any of the devices also placed on the beach playground or slept calmly on a plastic tray in the middle of the tumultuous crowd. Wonderful and when I think about the mudslinging, which gave any proles at various festivals in Austria and Germany at the same time, I have to smile with right.
The reason for my visit was the tenth anniversary by Berlin-based label BPitch Control . And what about the simple sentence on their site already on the point-making - "Berlin has it all ...". The line-up promised definitely great. With the label boss Ellen Allien , Sascha Funke and Paul Kalkbrenner could go wrong any more. The whole thing was well, free.
A Very indescribable feeling when you dance barefoot in the sand for hours, then somehow the sea is towed away and washed wrapped in a sheet with a mix of ocean and freshest Techhouse. In addition, there Colorful lasers, which cut the birthday night in thousands of pieces and aircraft across thundered over our heads, one might believe that to be able to get a handle sent from heaven. At some point, then mixes the beats with the first sun rays and even a few raindrops joined on them. When it was packed then too, "Walking on a Dream" by Empire of the Sun in the very last tune, not only because I lacked the words. After several minutes the crowd was then continued raging again suddenly folded over the switch, one last time to reel this sentence. Loud and awesome. I would have never thought that there is the (almost) perfect day, but obviously I had the good fortune to experience such. In retrospect, I can only say: Rubin, you had to wait for the shuttle bus.

also Ricardo Villalobos found himself, among others, away from the Sónar in the city. As part of a Cocoon Nite in Kanna Beach Club he gave us his skills to the best while in the Sugar Beach Club MANDY and Thomas Schumacher turned the controls. Diverse label nights there were of course all weekend in the craziest places in the city, and were usually a safe address for heady nights.
was also in the many clubs in the city receive a huge alternative program.
As mentioned above, could be the list of Off Sónar activities and expand Dj's into endless. Who is who will subsequently make a detailed overview - there's a Link .

El Resultado

I can pull this weekend in a positive state of emergency Résumé. So many new impressions are now processed only once. And how could this work better than if you look at and discuss in detail.
Much will depend on what happened anyway, locked forever in the colorful box and hoarded forever. Another one has just as well forget it, make no further thought more about it. The
on Tuesday took place Fiesta de Sant Joan , the actual start of the summer was as an experience. I can not emphasize it more, learn from it - and got it done already.
In this sense - to an educational summer!

way: Although photos were taken of me, but I speak as a sign that the batteries of my LOMO stopped just this evening their service.
A day that is can be unwound immediately so only in my head - wonderful

Garage Punk rules my Life - The Incredible Staggers
made pit stop in Barcelona!

Caminando

brings all the new spring .... or so. At least I can not say that I have in recent weeks, many made in duplicate or experienced have. Constantly new things happen around me, actually already too many. For someone who can be a bit much, but nothing clever, fatal. After all, you have to have everything ever tried. Find me in the coming months, even devious way, I do not know - not even want to think about it ... ... and then if I still do, then I just up a smile on his face.
Some things yet blending so smoothly into one another, and for the first since I found myself again in Barcelona, that it really is no reason at present even a negative sea breeze to allow or to cry for any thing.
A trivial example:
A few days ago I was on the way to the Man with probably the most appropriate Schnauzer in general. This led me to Carrer d'Avinyó along. Your mark among others, the quickest way from my place to sleep to the sea, but also information mile for all evening events and multicolored flyers forest with heavy support of the sprayer scene.
any case, how could it be any different to me an ugly orange color, branded by a horrible drink, placard stood out. It drew attention to an event in Sidecar . A club that is only just five minutes of "my" apartment building, but so far I only knew by name. A band called The Incredible Staggers would occur there, standing there - but in comic Word document and without any explanation, such as country of origin or genre. It is evident that a game would still calling themselves The Staggers, or did the "Incredible " in writing the difference? I was not really helped, so I took myself to surf in front of the home page of the club to get any more information. And truly
. Graz / Vienna would come to visit. That pleased me in this moment so much that I had at first but forgot smooth, never seen in Austria a complete The Incredible Staggers concert may be well but can be called a record of this game my own. A moment that made me happy - even abroad, because the contact with the local artists quite different.
beaten many years ago now I also sometimes the percussion work of a band that aufgeigte turn on an evening called Voodoo Hop in B72. This in turn organized (e) Phil Vega $ with Staggers frontman Wild Evel . And suddenly you find yourself back in the past, although it just roars at full steam towards the future.

By Your Side (bar)

When I late in the afternoon visited the club a little contact with the band produce that was a funny feeling, as I like even a band bus to Graz Region - welcomed indicator. The band was a little geschlaucht of ten previous days with as many shows and after shows across Spain, in the desired shade of the arcades of the Plaza Reial .
It was the third time that The Incredible Staggers the Iberian Peninsula made uncertain. Barcelona but was activated for the first time. In hindsight, another luxury moment in my virtual tour diary.
year over 100 shows, several 7-inches, an album and a guest performance in New York are already in the life of the band. All facts and figures, but the one used as a guide to what a remarkable project with country of origin Austria we are dealing. As people live and of course you know very quickly that it's difficult to describe the whole thing with a few words. I would give so much to be on the move - even though everything in the moment and just feels very right.
missing actually only their second album. This was supposed to be included in sunny Spain, but if it is ever financial support from the country of Austria, then you have to look past dependent on the location of the studio. After all, the demands of a then yes. Until it so far, will have but again the autumn has taken hold.
But we must be ever wonder what a monster in their sextet, with psychedelic fumes permeated, call garage punk since the laboratory life. Now they are
but on tour, and there anyway, everything is different, you're fair game - and in Spain, perhaps a bit more than elsewhere. If someone has to
but already led Teenage Trash Insanity to hip problems due to heavy rotation of the leg, then you should either leave immediately think of something, or even check with Wild Evel such as what was his hardships hold out. At least you will pay him in the history of the Sala Apolo for his dance style of a paragraph. The next panel will sound loud statement by guitarist Shakin Matthews fact only really after The Incredible Staggers. Well then - Buenas Noches!

No Como tu

That's a very fine sense must be removed if they are in a city where an estimated 2000 km from the home crowd einfindet, I can well imagine. The scene here is small, but they are there and acts like the Staggers be appreciated very much. Still, it was in effect a colorful mixture of styles, from the would-be, just couch surfing surgeons from Hamburg, to the garage Grrrrl covering everything. This was generally "No Como Tu" for that matter the music lovers - not just like you, or you, or thou ...
troublemakers did indeed anyone, least of all because the trashy vintage bomb the Austrians also went here in the air and burned everyone a wonderful experience in the convolutions of the brain - even if the now picked somewhere in the catacombs of the sidecar on the walls.

The band radiated from this special something. She seems to feel at home everywhere, and that's what music is indeed cause too. This can then also a 7-inch with a single published in English put forward, which is again one of those things that I would find in Vienna as casual, but here simply as a brilliant call to see from a different point of view understand. It leaves a powerful fingerprint and that is wonderful. Even friends from Argentina, where I played the record stitched through the house and shouted the chorus - "No Como Tu". And because you're style conscious act's as a bonus on the B-Side also a superb version of the classic "Hey, Hey" to the The Sound Barriers . What is there to go wrong yet?

Caliente

The band los roared like one of those hot sand storms, to a here has occasionally remind them that the sunglasses but then somewhere, lying around in the apartment. In no time, the club turned into a furnace. The audience went with from the beginning, and Wild Evel mastered the role of the heating perfect. Within minutes, had Garage - Punk - Oven the 60's degrees attained mark. The
the Spaniards a very easy to use are people that I've already allowed to experience it many times. The Staggers had the crowd on their side in Vorbegehen. A few words of English, authenticity, and of course the music as more than enough of.
What will you say a lot to a band that is not only beautiful instruments has, but it serves also skillfully. And every time Lightning Iris the keys of their Farfisa organ skin as a sound deafened by the basement, it took off an almost shoes. One thing that happened to her could not - Grrrrl surfing world barefoot through the cobbled with trash everyday. The bassist's name not only sounds extravagant, his Phantom bass rounded out the picture perfectly. Here, however styled, even with all masking, not in real sense. Music is life, a thing I got to experience a late hour on the parquet of a club live. A true lesson in terms of rock and roll history. As
was then "No Como Tu" sung, one could even describe the almost as a home game on a small scale. The
with the continuation of the concert Wild Evel not only visually but also by the style of dance and gesture ago Denis Lyxzén was more like that might perhaps only I have never seen. I'd put my heart the Swede The Incredible Staggers but in any case, because since the late last T (I) NC album would an evening with two bands really make sense in many ways. En la noche



As in most Cases was also this series of concerts too soon. The night had started but fortunately only. In the streets of Raval's gave then until late spontaneously joined a pointless interview with some radio stations, a few people still in our illustrious circle and danced together to meet the morning - obviously in the ballroom.

And who wants to celebrate with his birthday bash Wild Evel who needs actually only the 11th of July in Graz PPC einzufinden. Another glittering ball is guaranteed.

After such nights, because I always shoot well again, that sometime "garage punk rules my life" to a carved wall in my heart was ...... just like in the 7-inch.
And if I disclose now often overlooked, so it is written there are still forever.

Primavera Sound Festival - Barcelona / Slide 1


Three days, five stages, a tent Unplugged, 145 Acts, the convenient audience since I attend festivals, on around the Mediterranean and a night bus to bed. If that was the spring, as it feels at the Summer? Arrived



I often did not feel that feeling in this way. Probably they never existed. Although I last three months would be just as among the most important things that had happened to me until now. If you then back in to a (still more or less) foreign city, with a different language and a different mentality, then it goes very fast. Because that is also because people are waiting on the one hand because they had already completed a months take that together because you are suddenly no longer the stranger is, who was stranded by a day to the other there. It is more. A gear of many that make it possible for the machine may have a clock running round as normal. And the best part - it is mutual. Emotional wave to blow you and push you under the surface. Since even a tear or two may also be shed as much water because it does not matter - and, moreover, even the most honest in the world. Different countries, different customs, I have written before, and I'm happy that I can experience this in this way feel. The

wanted to let me do not Vienna, but I'll do my clever little book finally responsible. But what is in there, which picks - just stupid, if it's still wrong. So it stays again only depend on me. But stupidity is punished, and therefore I am with a few hundred less in the money bag and a small sightseeing tour over the site of the Zurich Airport richer, ultimately until Tuesday stranded a second time in Barcelona.
That was the whole city in football fever that you could hear the latest in the arrivals hall. When I have time on Wednesday also witnessed a hitherto never ever done that Tripl it was, which also has not grabbed me as a self-confessed football fanatic pretty. Former
But such a new phase that is important, because you get confirmed in passing, that it was the right move, because something would happen in my life does not stop at home.
And no sooner had I recovered from the whole spectacle, as was already the next one at the door. The Primverasound indicated.
But now the past and thus also completed the phase of arrival. Productivity is again the focus and the goal is wiedermal know a bit better, to discover a new side of his face and see where there it a way.
Speaking of faces: From where did the Primavera Sound Festival by the way a lot.

Organised face

I was relaxed at the festival area to 22 boarded the first clock. Almost luxury when the Linea L4 just 20 minutes from the dinner in your kitchen to the Parc del Forum needs. But somehow matching the current view of things.
terms of organization I had in terms of English festivals, only positive memories. Here, too, seemed all but planned in detail. And even if that should be in effect, has the number of simplification, but it still brings a lot of additional organizational work with it. To see the performers but it was not. Right from the beginning you were away overwhelmed with positive vibes.
Without responsibility you but was not released in the festival season. In addition to the band's now become so standard here was also a bar code provided with a plastic card, a debit card the same. Only a combination of these two could pass through the festival grounds. Man could thus had one more thing, you lose or forget at home. And although it of course to more fully control the entrance was, so we were somehow say it with flowers "Enjoy it to the fullest and with all the advantages that we offer you here, but remains on the ground of reality" At least I have this as Such heard - and brave as I am, also followed.
Once inside, I was quite perplexed. watched the Parc del Forum in my memory until now like a deserted moon base, then suddenly appeared again all residents to have returned. Not to recognize the whole thing was, and I really needed some time to I had driven me. For those who the Parc del Forum had never seen before that was probably easier. It only needed in the Festival - to switch Mood and follow the signs.
Five stages were placed on the site, each on different levels and therefore different every time with a spirit. Thus found it once on the conventional concrete area in front of the main stage, where an amphitheater gelichenden stone platform overlooking the sea, under a roof, or parallel to the water, walk through reed beds and views of the orange with a million lights decorated coastal side of the city . This all but makes just such activities fortiori to a place of well-being, and that is something that I will be more important.

The new, old face

To the sounds of Yo La Tengo then I opened my first spring / summer abroad, that is rather late actually. But I could not and would not tell me sooner then remove from a leisurely round.
the festival then fell off the first time the language barrier, which revealed to me a completely new way of perceiving and myself again shows that it indeed is not so, as many believe. Namely, that I had the last few months brought nothing from the cabbage, I appropriated nothing. containing a different level is based on the - the growth of human will.
After the rather turbulent 48 hours before, I had put together for Thursday, a less intensive program. Do I belong in the normal case, even to the type of visitor who uses a happening, to see as many new acts. The search drew me before but already a picture should go in which direction this first day of the Primavera Sound . In which the Shoegazer, the swirling psychedelic & Wüstenssand rock bands and in the rather faded, the direction of the abstract conception of music. In the right thing also. My
undisputed highlight of the evening was, however, the pop and probably also with the most anticipation awaited concert. That, of coming from Versailles collective Phoenix fact. Their new album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix provided to me already in the run for a spring feeling of the ordinary. I had the boys years ago, at that time by chance, seen at the Southside Festival and since then am a fan of the French. The stage seemed to have been as perfect. Positioned directly on the sea, in front of a bulging boiler with people and an oval of seats, behind a sailing yacht, the easy swaying before him. seen due to the rather "small" stages and in, relationship to the visitors, played limited space previously, on Primavera every band in principle to a full house, which had to be from the perspective of the artists an indescribable feeling. Recognition and appreciation of their own performance, no matter whether in the name of Sonic Youth or "only" hear Lemonade . Phoenix could be safely classified in the category of a large fan base in Spain badge. And because the timetable of the festival as well (except for some minor details) perfectly thought was like the rest, it was a loosely possible to look at a lot of acts until the final number to print after that a small Getränkelos from the machines provided to redeem this and still are at the front. Easy going, the whole Festival visit length.
The only thing that suffered was the length of the respective slots. I would rated with an average of half an hour. Exception was of course the main acts.

The French face

Phoenix also had the privilege to play longer, gave us an estimated twelve numbers persistent, Hitfeuerwerk from. They threw at the outset a motley bomb down on us, after which a "Lisztomania" broke out, everybody liked immediately a "Long Distance Call" to make in the home wanted, only to then return to the line "What you say, what you say is way to complicated " from "1901" recover. Just like on the new disk, and a bit to my surprise, they placed "Love Like a Sunset" in their set in the middle. The album has a number that seemed to be the French, a labor of love, she was also presented live in an outstanding manner and in a wonderful instrumental tension, and at the end of Thomas Mars sung simply with only one line and ends at the same time. "Love Like a Sunset" just. A wonderful moment. Then
's the ultra-long, modified version of "If I feel better," logically "Run, Run, Run," "lasso," "Fences" and a radiant Repertoire mix of old and new. As a final point then (if I am not mistaken) "Everything Is Everything" is set and exploited until the drummer finally his sticks straight up in the snare rammed - as a demonstrative sign that they would indeed like to play for an hour, but that would indeed now not so easy. I was impressed then at least as well as the band itself

The psychedelic face

The real discoveries of this Thursdays were my hand Dead Meadow from Launder Wooden Shjips from San Francisco. Both bands, the word rock reduced to a minimum, but still a lot of steam behind it packed. Heavy psychedelic, usually a stupid, minute-long stumbling forward 4 / 4 drum comprising, was put out after approximately every 15 clock a cymbal crash. Given little or no singing. Dead Meadow were still the more melodic, with a touch of blues-tinged, of the two. Recognized I had it but because of the preliminary - listening session no more. When you make a lyrical message was delivered, then very incomprehensible, which was unfortunately due to the often rather weak sound, in at least one of the two cases, but on the condition of the person behind the mic. Who needs to sing already, but if one also in the middle of the stage in Position placed empty whiskey bottle and a box can smoke cigarettes. Wonderful. Just closed my eyes and through.
After so much dust in the lungs but I needed urgently a beer, stupid just that I happened to be passing by at the main stage, where My Bloody Valentine rang in just the last third of her concert. More specifically, I could not narrow, since, as I assembled at me, already the start of the heaviest Shoegazer missile was already completed. This, never before in such a way as giving evidence, sound growth that was about to tear up the plant into a thousand pieces, was so badly affected that I am again impressed. In Cape Canaveral like it probably sound completely identical, only one is in a safe distance to the object and the whole spectacle is over in minutes. The founding fathers of the Shoegazing know, of course, how to prevent a mouth approximately 20 minutes out to close again. Incredible, and as loud as I "music" had never heard before in my life. I knew not that it is so loud at all.

The distraught face

Ponytail picked me up then back down to earth reality, or maybe because I was already in another Galaxy. In any case, the nervous Herumgekreische of singer Molly Siegel incompatible with my condition. I'd even "terrible" call.
So I went to a jump to Aphex Twin who screwed lonely and alone on the stage before him, and his set relatively chillig began. Until the very end that I could not even cope with, therefore, briefly walked over to Wavves , which still sometimes delivered should have a sound explosion on the Pitchfork stage for gondolas then a night bus in my bed. The start was promising, but succeeded in any case.

The faces and there's more here:

Primavera Sound Festival - Barcelona / Slide 2


The Fresh face

Day two started early for me then. After all, was placed with Bat for Lashes a long-awaited event in the early evening. The first contact I had on this afternoon but that was the one with Andrew King, guitarist of the incredible Crystal Antlers . Given the thousands of people a rather funny moment.
first time presented to me the site also on the sunny side and the British in Malta to the whole thing perfectly with its dreamy music. It must feel like a festival. Even the outfit from Natasha Khan and the associated Bühnendeko helped to believe in another world. In addition to the gazelle trophies and a hundred other gimmicks just more of the open fireplace was missing on the stage. Instead, there was but the window to the sea. However, that was wide open, and thus helped her mix of dream songs, craziest, and instrumentation in the songs a lot of latent desires also not towards ending horizon send. When I click on "Moon and Moon" turned to the reactions of the public to be heard, and still experienced the already slightly visible in the sky moon because this was the perfect complement. "Daniel" then set the end point behind these artsy at all levels valuable performance. A wonderful Openingact for a day, which then should play but mainly before Pitchfork stage, and thus in the realm of the young guns.

The crazy face

I started following directly on the way to the crazy Vivian Girls , but spotted only three songs, but another Crystal Antler . Sexual Chocolate was in fact the man at the Girls Group Tambourine and fit perfectly into the picture. That the girls were a bit beside himself had then but probably other reasons. had Lower than low-fi Around since the trades before my eyes. had passed - as if one just the second hour of "lesson How do I take an instrument in the hand." The last song was still flying instrument changes occurred, which led to chaos than ever before we left then with the Knicks stage. Very sexy and I'd be bad but do not call it then, even more than funny - but the music should be yes.
Then I lost my way a bit, was in never-ending discussions depend to strangers, enjoying the last rays of the sun and relaxed a little. By the way I looked at Spiritualized , yes I did not know very well, but not me only by virtue of their cover of UB40's "Can not help falling in love" convinced.
on time and again with a sharpened sense of perception, I found myself again in front of the band who deliver probably the best indie soundtrack for the upcoming summer.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart . A not only for their music through and through friendly ties. What really surprised me here, and where I part my prejudices about the music perception of the Spaniards was proved wrong, was that there was almost no point, was not with the loud singing along. Of these, the New Yorker clearly impressed, and were to statements carried away with high emotion authentic values.
"This is our first time ever in spain, and you make us all incredible happy right now. Thank you so much. "- Sounds awkward, but obviously came straight from the heart.

The most, most beautiful face

What I then to the beginning of Crystal Antlers , well, there is still not occurred to me until now. When I do a timetable but that look, I can at this time every-performing act with absolute certainty of my list of groups seen deleted. Somehow, amazingly, but so be it. With the thoughts I had all day anyway with the madman from Long Beach. That this but so extreme transportation, which was already difficult to sustain. Swept the Crystal Antlers to date of five from one another gig, so they changed because of some time ago and live on the second guitar Errol Davis rummaging around this time to a six-hurricane level. Unpackbar which button to burn down these gentlemen simply no long need by moving around before a gig. With the hand in hand walking Opening track "Painless Sleep" / "Dust" she shook those who could perhaps aufkriegen still or again not the eyes, perk properly. The dust settled for a second but on the contrary. "Andrew" was referred to also bring the soul, which all also began circling her hips, while a hand reached out permanently for the stars. The gig turned into a absolute highlight in my concert endless list. The best final song of the new era in rock and roll they did with "Parting Song for the Torn Sky" anyway already on hold forever and a day. That they then also the entire staff, plus the Vivian Girls are accompanying friends as reinforcements brought to the stage, that will not soon happen again, especially not in Spain. The concert ended that means on programmed Gosh, I stripped a bolt of lightning and the Lord walked with me in the truest sense of the word from a. What was yet to come, other than the usual Ringing in your ears.

The bearded face

The Mae Shi for example. But all was still, no matter how fundamentally different the music might be, was automatically measured by the sextet of the West Coast. So I'll describe this concert is absolutely just as a tightrope walk between stroke of genius and madness unacceptable for me in a negative sense.
also waited Jarvis Cocker already on the Estrella Damm stage, the biggest of the festival. I knew even fleetingly, the new album had but thanks friend Ostermann sneaked in time for heavy rotation in my playlist. And although we really dishes up many acts a rather washed-out sound, a thing which I've also found it does not, Mr Cocker shone with the exact opposite. Crystal clear, strong and actually delivering the most uniform concert, presented itself to the ex-Pulp . Here one could find everything again. He showed us that you can also play on the tiny electric guitar the straight most blues, had the part scream, to exchange created with "leftovers" the perfect song to each other around in the realm of affection, casually stumbled with a microphone in the hand across the stage, and also his his disco outfit was well-presented, he pass us. Incidentally, I learned in addition to "Andrew" and "Daniel" also know "Angela". Wonderful, and so the round nearly complete. That all this came from the most stylish fucked up, this one was very casual. And because I felt so comfortable in his presence, Shellac unfortunately pulled the short straw.

The destroyed face

then went with me not much, I am allied with a photographer and together we made the site a bit more uncertain. Bloc Party I appreciated then but still a short trip. However, without any expectations, but was pleasantly surprised although the audience seemed to be finished already clear. Kele Okereke had at least as his trouble a few sparks to be skipped. But then
was finally concluded with guitars. Came so lately not very often that I had seen the same for several hours at a stretch bands in the classic sense. Much more likely to be limited to the techno two turntables and beats. So I finished my phase of recording and processing, took the sails and the anchor and let myself drift a bit. When, about six clock morning chased Michael Mayer his latest tunes through the speakers, since we already welcomed the first bright scraps of the sky. Good morning and this time it was Spain by metro from the springs.

Can You Masterbate With Fruit

Primavera Sound Festival - Barcelona / Slide 3


The nondescript face

I first registered on Saturday so right that I had already survived two days. Without a Trace had passed me this, although I thought the reins pretty short, but then not. Drum, I decided it again a little looser address what happened then but by themselves anyway. By the late start, limited to the list to see the ending massively. Neil Young
played so far in my life not really matter, and almost would have led to the fact that I would let him fly too. Then I was pretty happy when I got at least a good hour of his sets of ears. The sound was certainly with Jar vis' the best of the whole festival. His show, I would describe as absolutely authentic, his voice as a legal institution is still explosive, but his face as indefinable. The progress on that day was but a noticeably heavier, which was not due to the already capitulating feet, but also to the extra number of visitors. Also, the average age was a few years, on the last day, and Sonic Youth Shirts for advanced fashion accessory Number one. Generally, it was but the very last days of a beautiful phenomenon to seeing, because there will be such a loose cooperation of so many ages we just never - just as such a festival. I got myself in this regard with a little photo project also the absolute certainty, and got on my rather unusual questions over a radiant "Si, por que no" back.
It would be idle now, many words about Hr. losing Young that it still felt cool "Rockin 'in a free world," times not to hear from the second vote Eddie Vedder's, but the one already mentioned. Carlos and yes, I'd like you beside me had. As the good but the last song with a clever plan of the pages of his guitar abfädelte that I will not yet understood. Probably because I lack the years and the knowledge of this instrument.

Probably the craziest face

And because Deerhunter opposite played, I looked over and there still. Which could then also one of my highlights at the Primavera Sound . Why exactly I do not know, but I could not just remove it from this platform. Quite compelling was that stoned sound that they passed it calmly standing on stage with us. Only the annoying camera crane in front of the stage I had to give myself beaten. Yes move, not even I wanted to. gave power to see but nothing, not because eh's really something.
Then I followed the advice of a pretty cranked London Derse, with whom I had depended on the previous day for some time. Well, Lomo and Holga simply fit well with each other. Terms of style I can not keep up with a black man, of course, nor to his camera when not bribed in the Eastern bloc usual colors, special shone most violent in silver from a lovely Ledertascherl. I would like to see absolutely Gang Gang Dance thought of. His words in my ears, and good it was. For what am I to face was that I suddenly could provide the same level as the Crystal Antlers . However, a different genre assigned. Unbelievable what
sprayed this game for power. Something there was in any case not above board, and the lonely alone before the band bouncing around Asian (but obviously it was part of the entourage) confirmed my suspicions. Here reigned the dance floor, the raging crowd and the individual members had their hands full on stage. A myriad of electronic chaos, effects, flashing control towers and logically synths piled to get around the charismatic singer. That this by the way ever so perfectly in line with the best drummer I saw at this festival their congas and floor toms had served that helped the already unpackbar crisp beats played on a vastly immense catchiness. No longer to get out of my head since then numbers such as "House Jam" and "Desert Strom" are.
I had then been really scared of Simian Mobile Disco be disappointed. And although I admire this duo hard, so it interested me that night actually not true anymore. Somehow, the powerful, true haute in, the i-dots on Simian were not available, as was the truly wonderful rendition of "I Believe" nothing not change. Otherwise one can imagine a show like SMD the famous game "musical chairs". Instead of a chair, but there's a wild, flashing command center in he middle of the stage, and sit in any case is prohibited. How much show the whole thing ultimately comprises the I can not say, but actually I was already on the way to another long anticipated happening.

The black face

The Black Lips from Atlanta gave us three clock in the morning that is still the honor. They were indeed my discovery after last year's Benicassim and I therefore always be a summer band. However, the drunks of all. Unfortunately, here the drum failed - Sound at all levels. Each beat sounded so right terrible and even if it may sound should be all a bit vintage, so they had exceeded a certain point. A considerable amount of felt good because of a song title of the new plate over the subject matter is also animated in any exaggerations. Songs such as "Short Fuse" and "Starting Over" function that is already in the normal state quite well.
was then for me the festival as an observer, but finally ended, it was only once neatly to party at A-Trak DJ Mehdi and what then worked wonderfully.

If really to say is: a wonderful festival, not least because of its different faces was really fun.
I will then just see what life until the next festival so before me has. However, you will hear again soon.

And stained face

And all those who are still looking for an experience for the history books next summer, which is the highly recommended 08/19/2009. On this day rises in the Arena Vienna namely an evening under the motto "Veni Vidi Vice", where are certainly no eye dry. At least I come now the tears that I have this night with the Black Lips, will miss the Crystal Antlers, and Deerhunter Glint .
