The Waxwings
On behalf of our friends at Schnitzel Records, we have the pleasure of presenting to you The Waxwings and the video streams for their latest single, ‘What’s Needed Now’.
Finally The Waxwings are crossing the Atlantic to make their mark in Europe. The Waxwings may be slightly out of step with what listeners have come to expect from a Detroit rock n’ roll band?even though they have toured with The White Stripes and The Strokes.
The Waxwings rather show a sonic alchemy of late 60’s Rolling Stones, vocal weavings of The Band and the Parson-age of eight mile high flights of fancy in the deepest of basements. Here is the video to ?What?s Needed Now? the first track to be taken off the double A side single of the grant album ?Shadows Of?.
“The Detroit based Waxwings are delicious with their smooth guitars and perfect three-part harmonies!” Spin
What?s Needed Now displays spaced-out harmonies that descend into a spectacular guitar guitar incoherence. Just give ?em a go, no way they?re going to give you the blues.? Records Collector ?Single Of The Month?
Artist: The Waxwings
Song Title: ‘What?s Needed Now’

Sónar 2010 – Barcelona, Spain
The festival attracts a lot of outsiders, but the Mediterranean, Spanish and more specifically Catalan nature of the people makes the festival what it is. Catalan people are passionate and this passion is infectious. The atmosphere is electric in Barcelona as a city and heightened by music and intoxicants at Sónar.

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.
