Arizona Amp And Alternator-Arizona Amp And Alternator(Thrill Jockey)

Arizona Amp and Alternator, or 4 A’s is one of Howe Gelb’s (Giant Sand) side projects which this time feautres M Ward, Scoutt Niblett, Grandaddy, Jeremy Gara (Arcade Fire), Marie Lorette Friis, Herniette Sennenvaldt...A sexy cowboy-esq “Hello darling” opens this record in accordance with the folky “I’ll keep you warm” feeling you get like a fuzzy bluegrass intro to the following surprise, an absolutely alluring jazzy, soothing bossanova tune, “Where the wind turns the skin to leather” in Howe Gelb’s manner and hushed-vocals. What follows is “AAAA”, a song you get in four different versions throughout the album, its lyrics alone could define Arizona Amp and Alternator’s sound much better than my review in fact “White man think you’re black, black one thinks you’re white, country man thinks you’re rock, and rockers say it just ain’t right, do you alternate their between, coming up with the best sound anyone has seen...and that’s my country.Only well...it’s not really country...That’s the whole irony with AAAA appearing in completely different sound arrangements, and those exact lyrics. And that’s why I love Howe Gelb so much. Traffic’s cover Low spark of high heeled boys, is followed by “Man on a string”, a duet with Herniette Sennenvaldt, who’s worked with Gelb on his previous records (“The Listener”’s Torque(Tango de la Tongue)...Another quality duet is that of Matt Ward and Marie Lorette Friis on “Baby it’s cold outside”, additionally M Ward makes another appearance on one of the AAAA’s with Howe Gelb, where the music arrangement is the recognizable M Ward sound. The record finishes with a Recital (I think Scout Niblett’s) followed by intense drumming by Jeremy Gara on “The leaving you”, also somehow relating to Scoutt Niblett’s characteristic solo sound. All in all, AAAA offers a truly amazing, unique sublime of many talented artists, brimming with improvisation and charm. Fantastic for a band with “no members in it”(as stated in the sleeve).

The Hotel Alexis::The shining example is lying on the floor::broken sparrow

This Sidney Lindner (Torrez, Golden Hotel, Northern) project could well be my number one for 2005. It was originally released in 2004 as a limited cd-r, but it's official date seems to be march, 2005...Anyway, not to be so pedantic, it is one of the most beautiful records I've been listening to, on repeat, since the beginning of the summer. It is the kind of an album which makes me cry and smile at the same time, creating mental images of an enormous, still, water surface...The slide guitars, combined with the utterly laid back vocals, and the powerfull lyrics will reveal this quiet undiscovered, or lost and forgotten part of you, which is perhaps why it seems all so magical...It is so brilliant that you can play it in the background and ignore it, and at the same time the lyrics are that captivating, that if you pay attention, you won't be able to do anything else really...'Something so permanent lately, has died in you...And I know you, weren't made for this, working the devil's work, for free'-The quiet life, or '..Buy a piano, if you get sad, play just the black keys, and die in your sleep, ain't this life sweet..'-Dapper dan.. Additionally all of the 11 songs seem to complete each other, subtly bridging gaps (exp. with Blue in the blackout), and creating this irresistable sweet shortlasting masterpiece.

Lofidelica August Promotion

All the promotional material that you have sent in August, will be promoted in September, when I get back in Macedonia. However, I am being regularly informed on what has arrived (Not Not Fun releases, What the Heck Fest compilation 2005\kelp..etc), so in any case, I will surely receive them. I appologize for not being able to promote it sooner.

Superwolf at Ypsigrock.it festival

7th of August, the evening, I had the chance to see Will Oldham and Matt Sweeney perform live in Castelbuono (Sicily) , a place with an architecture of a fairy tale...This concert opened the Ypsigrock festival, meant to last till the 9th of August featuring Ulan Bator and Patrick Wolf in the following nights. The venue was totally magical, a performance of Superwolf within remains of an ancient castle thoroughly captured the essence of the intimacy of this album...What I genuinely liked apart from everything, was above all, the warm welcome I got there, being the unique person from abroad, totally lost and confused.
First of all, I have to say I was also pleasently surprised by the powerfull sounding support band Poppy's Portrait, a band that sounded something like Shellac meets Sonic Youth...
Highlights of the Superwolf performance include: What are you, Rudy Foolish, Blood Embrace, Bed is for sleeping, My home is the sea, Beast for thee,and the wolf-esq howling which ended the performance...Some other things I found exciting were of course:the people asking me how is "Fuori" in English at the end of the concert, the camping located in a national park, me telling Will Oldham he made an amazing cover of Sweeter than anything by PJ Harvey, the beach in Cefalù...

A review I wrote was published today in Utrinski Vesnik http://www.utrinskivesnik.com.mk

Molto Grazie at Gianfranco Raimondo, Vincenzo Barreca, David...

Lofidelica Happy Month

Right. This Wednesday, the 20th July, I'll be playing music in the local club Jukebox again.
Thursday morning I set off to a mountainy place Krushevo for a week, then I am going to Italy, so I won't be back in Skopje untill September.

My radioshow-substitute for August will be M.Sh., possibly the best substitute you could hope for. He'll be mailing me the playlists and hopefully I would be able to post them on here.

French radio reports:POP (interview with Oliver Petkov)


As soon as I’m finally convinced that macedonian pop music is hopelessly dead, a few people come along to prove me wrong. Bei the fish, Robotek and Oliver Petkov are ones that come to mind. In a few days Oliver’s debut album French Radio Reporter is being officially released for Templum, book publishers that sometimes embrace kanal 103 FM recommended music.

Oliver is basically a charming guy from Veles, that apparently likes talking about himself in third person. He is also a Comparative Literature student that maybe has a lot to do with his weird sense of humour. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, he rips off Stereolab and The sea and cake...This is an e-mail interview I did with him somewhere around December 2004, before actually meeting him and working with him in the mutual Oliver’s geisha project.

Who is Oliver Petkov?
Oliver Petkov is a typical anti: hero, feminist, polish pope-ist...His weakness are the early winter mornings when he expects a parcel from Santa carrying a Pentium 4. Other weaknesses include: projects financed by NGO, he claims he never really got their point. He hates books with a beautiful cover and content because he is selling such to people with a not very attractive cover and content.
How do you make your music atmosphere-wise, and how long have you been doing this?Oliver actually believes in miracles. That is why he started making music a long long time ago. When after many attempts via liasons and corruption, he managed to get a B in maths, his parents bought him a guitar. So his musical beginnings are full of perpetual romance with a dangerous outcome. He makes his music at home, but it was never proved how exactly. It is assumed that he stays over in expencive hotels kneeling down a laptop and wishing to never leave the room. The scientists and former KGB associated with PASOK work hard to reveal his true identity.
Where do you find inspiration?
He always finds inspiration in bicycles. Once he said that if the album is of good quality then you can listen to it whilst riding a bike, without skipping once. The songs off French radio reporter have been tested with Pony Adriatic + helping wheels. It only skipped once actually...when a yellow Yugo 45A with register plates 345 AB ran into him.
What are your future plans(albums, songs, collaborations)?
His mother asked him exactly the same once...I don’t think the answer included any of the things mentioned in brackets.
How are you satisfied with our scene?
Generally we haven’t discussed that much. I don’t think he has a certain attitude towards scenes. But he likes the “our” in the question.
What is your album of the year?
It’s always been “Album of the year” by Faith No More.

As you can see he killed my interview, hence it never got really published.



**French Radio Reporter will be promoted on Monday the 27th of June in Tocka at 21:00h**
