The Buzz effect

By Don Tercio | Published: 14/02/2010

Not many people saw it coming, but it was probably the most logical move for Google to make. They’ve been trying very hard for the past few years to succeed in the attractive yet ultra competitive social networking environment…. and all their previous attempts (Orkut, FriendConnect, flirts with Facebook, twitter…) never got them anywhere.
Seems [...]

Four Tet dreams back

By Don Tercio | Published: 04/02/2010

We’ve been expecting this album for 5 years. A lustrum in which Kieran Hebden hasn´t stopped creating for a single bit…. The Exchange Sessions, Tongues, NYC…. all collaborations with free-jazz drummer Steve Reid, a 12″ vinyl with his friend Burial,  a song for Quantum of Solace’s OST with David Arnold….. as if he couldn’t [...]

Avner, the lost android

By Don Tercio | Published: 07/01/2010

Last December Sincerely Yours unveiled the latest clip from Avner’s album “Lyssna”, a video directed by Annika Aschberg & Jenny Palén which may have not become an instant hit (none of SY artists have) but raises the Swedish music scene prestige even higher.

Avner’s debut album is like gliding, or even better… like any of [...]

      This is not the first time Msft launches an expensive campaign for their Bing “decision engine” or that they position themselves against the “information overload” you get from Google search results, but it is a first for the UK, where big G holds an even higher market share than in the States…

    • Music: the punisher
      11/03/2010 | 9:26 pm

      Most European bands (and by European we don’t mean Brits) have very little visibility outside their home-countries, even more if they don’t use the Queen’s language….. and there is so much good stuff out there….. We just received a little message from Lonski and Classen today asking if we liked their vid by by Britt Dunse…. well, what do you think?

    • Whim: nissyoku
      11/03/2010 | 9:19 pm

      Alberto Vasquez and Dániel Lőrincz are behind igendesign and this great “nissyoku” lamp concept for those relaxing & intimate moments / rooms. A double light “inspired by the solar eclipse”… which reminds us of Sony’s Rolly (don’t ask why).

      We find Brendan Wenzel’s human illustrations are funnily enough similar to Hugo Pratt’s style… a mere coincidence that he studied at the Pratt Institute? (although it’s not related at all). He’s probably more well known for his fauna & flora illustrations…
