The Kills
The Kills, the Anglo-American duo of VV, aka Alison Mosshart (guitar, vocals) and Hotel, aka Jamie Hince (drums, vocal, guitar), will release their sophomore release No Wow, March 8th on Rough Trade/RCA.
No Wow, the follow-up to 2002’s Keep on Your Mean Side, is teeming with some of the most alluring love-hate dichotomies ever put to tape. The duo’s chemistry is evident in every lyric and every fuzzed out guitar chord. The album gnaws at you in the best possible way, like an itchy sweater of libidinal bliss. The first single “The Good Ones” is raw and sultry with lyrics adapted from a diary entry. Ahh, but whose diary? Listen and decide for yourself.
If you thought I was exaggerating about the duo’s chemistry, check out the video for “The Good Ones” (Hot, hot, hot)!!!!
The band will be performing at SXSW in March and will follow with a full US tour.

Sónar 2010 – Barcelona, Spain

Summer Party Naval Styles at Seven RestoLounge
Oysters, like wine are affected by terroir and these Miyagi’s flavor profiles ranged with one showing a cleaner, almost tropical profile and the other being more salty, marine driven. As I was devouring the seemingly endless plates put in front of us, I sipped on a glass of fine sauvignon blanc.

Predictions 2010.. and beyond!
So 2010 eh? Almost but not quite (no year zero they say) another decade? It seems like just yesterday that the world was waiting for Y2K. R4NT started publishing in March 2001, so we’re not quite 10 years old yet, but in internet years we are already a senior citizen.

Invictus
No matter what, the reality of Nelson Mandela is something that deserves screen time. Should this film even remotely intrigue the masses to take interest in this figure, the world would likely benefit greatly from it.
