»This is the Hummingbird Revolution, this is a prayer for peace.« … »The little hummingbird is a warrior, with the largest heart relative to its bodysize of the animal kingdom.« Dies lässt die Singer Songwriterin Lesley Kernochan verkünden. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world In the past, the time between December and February would see a dearth of quality new releases hitting the shops. But, as with many things, all that has changed in recent years. The music industry never stops, and this winter has found some fantastic new slabs of wax arrive on our shelves. This month we’ll both be looking back to some of the great releases which came to light at the end of 2019 and raving about some which are making the year 2020 a great place
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the year and decade coming to an end it is time for taking stock and reflecting on what has been and gone. Not wanting to break with tradition I decided to trawl through twelve months of releases to bring you my albums of the year. As usual, it is an extremely personal affair. Looking back, I picked the records which had some form of emotional resonance with me. From alt-pop to hip hop, ambiance to house, these were the albums which cut though the torrent of
Musik | Free Jazz, Free Space & Impro Hergewehte Jazzmelodien, angekommen wie Flaschenpost, gebracht als Briefpäckchen, geschickt als Datei, herbeigeflattert als Neuigkeit, Erinnerung, Anspieltipp. You can see open space. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With September and October’s usual slew of releases it can be easy to get lost in the onslaught of new wax hitting record store shelves. Who has the time these days to browse in ignorance, not knowing what it is they seek? That’s why I have done the hard work for you, sorting through the crap to bring you the best new records any discerning music fan needs in their life. This week we have the lush, languid rock of Moon Duo, the post everything pop of
Musik | Textminiatur und »Biermusik« Zwischen Nacht und Morgen auf dem Nachhauseweg in dem Viertel, in dem das Oktoberfest stattfindet. Aus einem Fernzug und aus’m Bahnhof heraus, der von auf dem Fußboden schlafenden Personen, die auf den ersten Zug in der Frühe warten, offensichtlich zum Camp umfunktioniert wurde. Am Gehsteig weggeworfener Firlefanz, Flaschen, Essenstüten. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the autumn season firmly upon us most of us want nothing more than to lock our doors and peacefully hibernate for a month or two. What we need now are records made for listening to in the cosiness of your own home (or at least a club with a decent heating system). This week I will be raving about some new releases which make the perfect soundtrack for escaping the perils of the outside world. By JOHN BITTLES
Musik | Daughter Of Swords und Fellows Hatte in jüngster Vergangenheit jemand Blumen im Haar? Trug jemand Blumen in Shows? Vielleicht Daughter Of Swords. In süßen Performances und schönen Symbolismen. Und im Format traditionellen Liederschreibens. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER
Musik | Album: Fettes Brot Keine andere Band hat die Hamburger Hiphopszene so geprägt, wie »Fettes Brot«. Die Gründer: Doktor Renz, König Boris und Björn Beton sind seit 1995 aus der deutschen Musiklandschaft nicht mehr wegzudenken. Besonders legendär aus diesem Jahr war und ist ihr Titel »Jein«, mit dem sie deutschlandweit bekannt wurden. Und das lange, bevor die Herren von »Deichkind« mit dem Hinterteil zu »Bon Voyage« wackelten. ANNA NOAH hört in die allerneueste Brot-CD namens »Lovestory«.
Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world Usually when I am sitting on the street with my placard reading ‘I write about music for a living, please give generously’ people will take pity and throw a few coins in my lap. The other day though, someone took umbrage at my sign, demanding that I follow them home. After a hearty meal of pot noodle and chips he insisted that I watch coverage of the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend Festival. 20 minutes of charmless pop later he switched the TV off, turned towards me
