Feist - Graveyard (live)
A little while ago I had the opportunity to see Feist live again. Hell, it was amazing, and I can only recommend everyone to go to a Feist gig, if she’s playing nearby (or even a little further away).

Tied & Tickled Trio - La Place Demon
The past year seems to have been a busy year for the Weilheim scene around the members of The Notwist. Their collaboration with Themselves of Anticon fame under the moniker 13&God will be releasing a new album this year, Martin Gretschmann revived his own band Console and released Herself last autumn. In the meantime the Acher brothers have been busy as well, with their bandmates of Tied & Tickled Trio (apparently named after a Japanese sex game) and collaborated with the drummer Billy Hart. The fruits of their work are called La Place Demon and will be released on April 1st, 2011. However, their fusion of Dub and Jazz is far from being a lame April fool’s joke, and it is another album to look forward to this year.

Themselves, Glasgow Stereo
Ladies and gentlemen, if your favourite rapper doesn’t rap fast, it is because he can’t.
Dose One of Themselves can rap fast, and this is what he demonstrated with Jel’s support on July 23, at the Glasgow Stereo. A video, so you can hear for yourself and some pictures from the event, including the support band, whose name I unfortunately forgot Dam Mantle.

New 13&God album in 2011?
According to a post by Dax Pierson in the 13&God facebook group I know ’13&God’ has nothing to do with religion, the supergroup consisting of members of the Notwist and Themselves, returned to the studio in January. Thus, when Themselves played in Glasgow yesterday, I asked Jel about the current state of the new record: Apparently there will be another brief recording session in Autumn, and they hope to have the album mixed down by February. That’s definitely something to look forward to.

Le Peuple de l'Herbe vs Beth Gibbons
Another live video with Beth Gibbons, this time with the French Hip Hop group, interpreting “Roads” and “Glory Box” by Portishead. I really like the added trumpets and flugelhorns.
