Daedelus is a perfect Victorian gentleman who makes beautiful records about wars no one cares about and the virtues of handmade clothing. 2011 marks ten years of his recording, celebrated now with the release of his latest Bespoke, as well as a third Magical Properties tour, and shows at SXSW and Coachella. This is truly his year, as it should be. He speaks now about this world’s many failings and the oncoming alien battle we’re all going to face. This interview by Lainna Fader.

COACHELLA DAY 2: ARCADE FIRE + SCISSOR SISTERS + SUEDE + WIRE + BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE + JENNY AND JOHNNY + BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE + THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS + BRIGHT EYES + ERYKAH BADU
April 18th, 2011 · 1 Comment
Other things I saw: Erykah Badu in a set that ended with the plug being pulled, appropriately trippy kaleidoscope visuals accompanying Animal Collective, and a spontaneous, irony-free high five after One Day as a Lion’s Zack de la Rocha stage dove to punctuated their performance.

April 17th, 2011 · 2 Comments
By far the nicest new surprise this year has been talented beatboxer Beardyman from the U.K. Using a blend he claims is 100% on-the-spot recorded vocals, his beats move the room while evoking a format of hip hop we haven’t seen since Doug E. Fresh. In fact, he even makes me reappreciate my sworn enemy, [...]

April 16th, 2011 · 1 Comment
Wire did a million things by taking guitar-bass-drums music as close to the minimum as they could and then rebuilding it according to rules of their very own.

Suede fell out of bed into Britpop and Britpop controversy about Blur and bisexuality and who was doing what to who in what direction, but between episodes of public drama was glammy rock ‘n’ roll in the most classic English tradition. After years off duty, Suede is substantially re-united (without Bernard) and active and playing their first stateside gig at Coachella. This interview by Chris Ziegler.
