The Almighty Oracle

…and I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ll be back around the 12th.

I know I have neglected this website lately but since I have an excuse, for once, I shall just as well use it!

Thanks to everyone who’s sent me emails with links to new music, I promise to check them all and get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for the “love your blog” emails as well, they’re very appreciated! Keep the messages coming!

To celebrate my vacation, here’s a cool live version of CocoRosie’s Japan from their Amsterdam concert with the Koninklijk Concertgebouw on April 29, 2008.

The new CocoRosie single is out and it’s surprising.

The Casady sisters have mastered the art of mixing all kinds of musical styles together, from their original lo-fi Folk to their slightly more Hip-Hop influenced 2007 release, The Adventures Of Ghosthorse And Stillborn. God Had A Voice, She Speaks Through Me sets Bianca and Sierra’s greatness in an atmospherical electro/lounge song. It’s unexpected but it works (at least, for me).

Check it out :

You can pre-order a limited edition 7″ picture-disc and receive an immediate free mp3 download of the song or buy the mp3 alone on the Touch and Go official website.

Last night (quite late, I must admit), I was nicely surprised to catch the Casady sisters playing a re-worked version of Werewolf on TV. Here’s the video, enjoy :

Audio only here, if you prefer (especially without the very silly and unnecessary comments):

Somehow I can’t get the song out of my head today so I’ll share. This is a live version, because I like it better than the original one figured on La Maison De Mon Rêve.

Yesterday [Monday, July 09, 2007], I went to my second CocoRosie concert, at the Sébastopol Theater in Lille. [The first one was in Liège, Belgium on June 03, 2007]. First of all it took me more than an hour to get to the concerthall even though it’s theoretically a 20 minutes long drive. All I was thinking of then was “Damnit, this is a seated gig and I’m so beyond in time I’ll have to sit on the second balcony!”. Luckily, it was raining so there was only about 30 people waiting. I set myself in the waiting line, center door [That's the one they always let people in through], set my mp3 player to Bat For Lashes‘ Fur And Gold album [More about that one another time] and text M. to know whether he’s coming to the gig or not. He didn’t make it, after all. Continue Reading »
