festival

Lots of news accumulated while we’re away on vacation, a short wrap up here:
* Ultra rare kitsch records & bargain bin finds, comedy 12″s, spoken word and all kind of odd stuff

Villette Sonique festival in Paris this year will be eccentric, noisy, unhinged but also melodious, charming, classy and of course, sonic. The festival takes its name from Parc de la Villette the iconoclastic park project done by master architect Bernard Tschumi with theoretical supplement from Jacques Derrida and it will take place next weekend.

Well, the hipster festival SXSW has begun. The rise of SXSW from a relatively unknown festival (at least for me) 2 years ago and becoming a huge worldwide acknowledged event in 2 years is pretty interesting. There’s probably lots of blogs attending & covering SXSW, but you know I’m not really into most of the hipster college indie rock stuff.

Just as I was worrying that I may be wrong by not including Liars in my top 2006 lists, Ear farm comes to the rescue from a full bootleg @ Cabaret, Montreal, Canada – 22 June 2006, including a cover of Nirvana’s “Territorial Pissings” as encore.
