We're moving the old blog to a new better place.

There are some great news you have to know, like Welcome Back Sailors' new video "Love's the answer, blame it" (premiere on Delicious Scopitone), nostalgia and Super8... Or their review by Enrico Veronese on September's BLOW UP (7!)
On the same magazine there's also Soda Fountain Rag's review (7!) of the new 10 inches vynil "Reel around me", which has been positively reviewed as well from Tom on indie-mp3.co.uk

We would like to know a bit more from The Calorifer is Very Hot! that moved to the US....they talk about great news, but for that we have to wait.

We've heard Horrible Present is setting up an awesome live show. updates soon on superfinepast.blogspot.com (where you can find new songs and a very funny video!)

Il 10 settembre, dalle 21 in poi, A CLASSIC EDUCATION + DEATH IN PLAINS + WELCOME BACK SAILORS. Hana-Bi, Spiaggia 72, Marina di Ravenna.

«Jaakko ja hänen mahtava ukulelensa vuol dire "G e il suo incredibile ukulele" in finlandese. G abita a Helsinki (tra poco si trasferirà a Strasburgo). G ha formato il suo primo gruppo in riva a un lago della Germania Orientale. La musica di G è ispirata ai dischi delle etichette statali AMIGA e MELODIYA. G non è un teenager da cameretta, è un adulto con un lavoro accademico e una famiglia.» (G - Jaakko ja hänen mahtava ukulelensa).

«Jaakko ja hänen mahtava ukulelensa (it means 'Jaaakko and his amazing ukulele' in Finnish) is formed by G and by a ukulele. G sings and the ukulele is played.
G lives in Helsinki, Finland (but he is moving to Strasburg). G formed his first band on the shore of an East-German lake in the summer of 1989. The music of G is inspired by AMIGA and MELODIYA records, the ones you can buy in fleamarkets in central Europe.
G is no bedroom tween, he is a grown-up man, has an academic job and a family.» (G - Jaakko ja hänen mahtava ukulelensa).

«Ecco un altro regalo rigorosamente fatto in casa. Bastano un paio di microfoni panoramici, tanto vino e una ventina di musicisti da tutto il mondo stretti tra la cucina e le scale con i più improbabili strumenti in mano. La più classica delle jam, o meglio una felice joint venture. Semplici melodie. Racconti di vacanze al mare. La prima fidanzatina spagnola. Le baie della California. La luce fioca della primavera svedese. Il tramonto sull'oceano in Australia. I messicani buoni e il messicano davvero buono. La storia della nebbia padana questa volta fingiamo di non ricordarcela, ma gli Still Flyin' ci stanno dentro a meraviglia. Portarli in tour in Italia è stato come avverare un sogno.
E poi, tra il tuono di uno space echo e le prove piene di risate e stupore, ci incantiamo su One Fell Swoop di Chris Knox. Suona come la bonus track ideale per questi giorni fantastici» (Nic - The Calorifer Is Very Hot!).

«Here's another homemade gift. All we need is just a couple of microphones, a lot of wine and a dozen of musicians from around the world caught between the kitchen and the stairs with the most different instruments in their hands. You can call it a classic jam, or rather a successful joint venture. Simple melodies. Tales of holidays. The first Spanish girlfriend. The bays of California. The dim light of spring in Sweden. The sunset over the ocean in Australia. Nice Mexicans and a very good mexican. We pretend not to remember that joke about the fog in Emilia but Still Flyin' suit the situation perfectly. Bringing them on tour in Italy was like a dream for us.
And then, between the thunder of a space echo and rehearsals full of laughters and amazement, we enchant ourselves on One Fell Swoop by Chris Knox. Sounds like the ideal bonus track for those lovely days" (Nic - The Calorifer Is Very Hot!).

Proseguono i festeggiamenti per il primo compleanno del We Were Never Being Boring collective e oggi siamo super felici di presentarvi I'll Be There, singolo di debutto in free download per Welcome Back Sailors, duo reggiano che in appena tre canzoni saprà trasportarvi dalla Bassa alle Baleari. Bedroom synth pop con una finestra ben spalancata verso un cielo terso: i ritmi sono flessuosi come le onde calme del pomeriggio e le melodie scintillano come il sole tra le foglie. Canzoni che lasciano scorrere la sabbia tra le mani, riverberi senza fretta, just chillin'.

Bedroom synth-pop with a window wide open to a clear blue sky: their beats flex like the calm waves of the afternoon and the melodies shine like the sun through the leaves. The songs slip by like the sand between your hands, reverbs without haste, just chillin'.

My bubba & Mi + His Clancyness (free download)

noreply@blogger.com (The DisqueMan) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 10:00:00 +0000

We Were Never Being Boring collective is super happy to release a new song by My Bubba & Mi, a present specially made for their recent italian tour. His Clancyness heard it and decided to join the WWNBB's birthday celebration and recorded a cover:

There is quite a distance in the music that we make but while attending and filming a radio session with My bubba & Mi I heard their jingle. Three girls ready to rough up the already bruised Italian land.
I was instantly taken in and tried to learn the lyrics on the spot. I remembered the melody but forgot to press start on the camera, therefore no video but an instant urge to run home, learn the song and record it. That's what I did. I love the lyrics and I love the fact of being a male singing them. I was also told the girls were pretty strict about their music making magic, so yeah, in the back of my mind I wanted to get it right, get some bliss in it, I added a verse. I hope I got it right. If not at least I have a new soothing melody inside me.
[Jonathan Clancy / his clancyness]

Still available, How It’s Done In Italy was released on March 8th by We Were Never Being Boring (CD and LP with amazing handmade covers!).

Questo singolo è una nuova canzone delle My Bubba & Mi, un regalo che ci hanno fatto in occasione del loro recente tour in Italia. His Clancyness l'ha sentita e ha deciso di unirsi ai festeggiamenti per il compleanno della WWNBB registrandone una cover:

C'è una certa distanza nella musica che facciamo, ma mentre stavo filmando una sessione radio di My bubba & Mi, ho sentito il loro jingle. Tre ragazze pronte a percorrere nuovamente la nostra penisola. Sono stato subito colpito e ho cercato di imparare immediatamente il testo della canzone. Mi sono ricordato la melodia ma ho dimenticato di premere start sulla videocamera, quindi nessun video, ma l'impulso immediato di correre a casa, imparare la canzone e registrarla. Ed è quello che ho fatto. Mi piace il testo e mi piace il fatto che sia un uomo a cantarla. Mi avevano detto che le ragazze sono abbastanza rigide sul loro magico modo di fare musica, quindi avevo in testa di farla bene, di aggiungere qualcosa di speciale e ho aggiunto un verso. Spero di aver fatto bene. In ogni caso ho una nuova melodia rilassante dentro di me.
[Jonathan Clancy / his clancyness]

How It's Done In Italy è uscito l'8 Marzo 2010 su We Were Never Being Boring collective in CD ed LP (con magnifiche copertine fatte a mano!).

Soda Fountain Rag: Bergen mon amour - Musica - RollingStone

Reel Around Me

noreply@blogger.com (The DisqueMan) — Fri, 28 May 2010 20:10:00 +0000

Soda Fountain Rag è Ragnhild Hogstad Jordahl. Nel 2006 pubblica un cdr autoprodotto che fa innamorare molti, uno tra i tanti (ma uno speciale) è Salvatore, curatore di Indiepop.it, (purtroppo ferma da fin troppo tempo) che di lei scriveva "Se per Ragnhild non esitiamo a parlare di Genio è perché le sue canzoni istantaneamente orecchiabili possiedono un doppio fondo, una qualità avvolgente e addirittura tenebrosa che sovrappone immagini di alba e tramonto in mezzo alla solitudine di Bergen". Sono proprio le canzoni vecchissime (del 2006) e vecchie (2007!) che finiscono su Reel Around Me, per la prima volta suonate dal vivo in studio, insieme ad Anders Kaasen e Nickolai Nilsen.

Il come e il perchè di questo disco sono in questo brevissimo racconto.

Reel Around Me esce il 28 Maggio per We Were Never Being Boring su LP 10" ed è coprodotto con gli indiepoppers irlandesi di YesBoyIcecream. Ecco qui la tracklist:

A:
1. Dogwalkin' Summer
2. New Dancing Shoes
3. Are Philosophers Lonely? (▼)
4. The Catcher
5. You are not Invited to my Wedding (▼)

B:
6. You Can't Stop Me
7. Give Yourself a Break
8. Pirate Love (▼)
9. Too Late for Us

All songs written by Ragnhild Hogstad Jordahl , but “You are Not Invited to my Wedding” was reinvented by Anders. Soda Fountain Rag are Ragnhild Hogstad Jordahl (drums, vocals), Anders Kaasen (guitar), and Nickolai Nilsen (bass).
Alessandro Scagliarini played trumpet and flute on “Are philosophers lonely?”.
Recorded at Perpetuum Mobile, Nave (BS) by Alessandro Paderno, except trumpet and flute recorded by Paolo Torreggiani. Mixed at Us Random Calculator, Ghedi (BS) by Alessandro Paderno. Mastered at Bluefemme, Montirone (BS) by Marco Franzoni.
Cover design by peterdanielsson.com.

How It's Done in Italy

noreply@blogger.com (The DisqueMan) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:10:00 +0000

Le tre fanciulle scandinave che prendono il nome di My Bubba and Mi sembrano quasi non voler sapere nulla della loro stessa musica. Preferiscono appropriarsi dei tanti piccoli dettagli oggi trascurati e dispersi tra gli zero e gli uno della traduzione digitale. Tutti questi particolari le My Bubba and Mi li hanno raccolti con cura e racchiusi in uno scrigno a forma di disco intitolato How It's Done In Italy.
L'amore per i tempi andati, per il banjo e il tè con i biscotti è stato raccontato, cantato e suonato dalle ragazze durante l'estate del 2009 in una vecchia casa nelle campagne bresciane, proprio dove cominciano le Alpi. Il suono è quello dei prati pieni di sole e delle passeggiate di notte. In mezzo ci sono anche tante cose che scricchiolano, non c'è nessun trucco né finzione, forse soltanto un po' di sogno. Ascoltare How It's Done In Italy è come entrare piano nella cucina dove le ragazze stanno suonando, tra una tavola e il camino. A chi ama infilare la musica nei cassetti, suggeriremmo di cercare in quello del pre-folk, o in quello dell'old-blues, oppure, più semplicemente, di trovare un cassetto nuovo e scriverci sopra My Bubba and Mi.

How It's Done In Italy esce l'8 Marzo su We Were Never Being Boring su CD ed LP (con magnifiche copertine fatte a mano!). Inoltre verrà licenziato per il BeNeLux da Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck.
Dal 25 Marzo al 30 Aprile My Bubba and Mi saranno in tour in Europa e in Italia per presentare le magnifiche canzoni presenti su “How It's Done In Italy”.

The three Scandinavian girls who go by the name My bubba & Mi don´t seem to make a big fuzz about their music. Rather, they focus on the small details that are neglected or lost these days - the things between the zeroes and ones of digital translation. All these little details have been lovingly collected by My Bubba & Mi and carefully placed in a record-shaped container entitled How It's Done In Italy.
During the summer of 2009 the girls sung, played and told of their love for old times, for banjo, and the romantic life, in an old house in the Brescian countryside, right where the Alps begin. The sound recalls sunny fields and night strolls. In the gaps there are things that creak - no tricks, no fakes, perhaps only the hint of a dream. Listening to How It's Done in Italy is like silently entering a kitchen where the girls are playing between the table and the fireplace. For those who like to place their music into drawers, we suggest you look into the pre-folk one, or the old blues one. Or just find an empty one and label it My Bubba & Mi.

How It’s Done In Italy will be released on March 8th by We Were Never Being Boring (CD and LP with amazing handmade covers!) and licensed for Benelux by Beep! Beep! Back up the Truck. From March 25th to May 1st the band will be on tour in Europe to share with you the beautiful melodies from the album. Not to be missed!!

My Bubba & Mi new album on WWNBB!

noreply@blogger.com (The DisqueMan) — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:26:00 +0000

We Were Never Being Boring collective is extremely happy to present How It's Done In Italy, the debut album by the lovely danish band My Bubba & Mi.
We put a lot of energy in this release. The first step was also the most difficult one: setting up a tour in Italy in spring of 2009, and on top of that a second one the following summer. By this point we were definitely "in love", we succumbed completely and we decided to record this album together at the studio operated by The Calorifer Is Very Hot!.
And then the girls found those wonderful vintage brown-paper record covers from the Fifties, and so we hand-made all 1500 LPs, and then new friends came along to collaborate with us... and now we have How It's Done In Italy, and we are so proud of it!
Here is what the girls had to say in an interview on Beep!Beep!.
The album will be released March 8th on CD and LP.

Still Flyin' in Italia!

noreply@blogger.com (e.) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:43:00 +0000

We Were Never Being Boring Collective e Headphonesman Agency, in collaborazione con Vitaminic, sono lieti di presentarvi una festa davvero speciale. Sul palco della Casa 139 saliranno due tra le band più estrose e sbracate del panorama indie. Da San Francisco arrivano gli Still Flyin', di recente invitati anche all'ATP Festival 2010 curato dai Pavement, e che vedono in formazione componenti di Lucksmiths e Aislers Set. Ad aprire le danze i nostri The Calorifer is Very Hot!, punta di diamante del collettivo che non si annoia (come sarebbe possibile con TCIVH!?). Una festa sgangherata e fatta in casa per concludere il tour italiano, e dove ognuno di noi porterà qualcosa: per esempio il fantastico poster della serata (in regalo ai primi arrivati) ce lo hanno spedito da Copenhagen le My Bubba & Mi, band di prossima uscita per il collettivo. Oppure la musica prima e dopo il concerto che metteranno per voi MarinaP di Vitaminic ed Enzo (polaroid blog) fino a quando la Casa non ci sbatterà fuori tutti.

Nel mese di febbraio gli Still Flyin' faranno una serie di date in Italia, questo il calendario completo:

Lunedì 15 - Bologna, acoustic set @ Radio Città del Capo
Giovedì 18 - Genova @ Teatro Della Tosse
Venerdì 19 - Cesenatico @ Retropop
Sabato 20 - Carpi @ Mattatoio
Domenica 21 - Ferrara @ Zuni
Lunedì 22 - Milano @ La Casa 139
Martedì 23 - Preganziol (Ve) @ Macaco

Me, You and Hugh

There's a new video for the Calorifers, made by Cakebycake.
Me, You and Hugh is taken from the third album of the band, Evolution on Stand-By.
The song is about Hugh Hefner (but you can call him Hef) because The Calorifer Is Very Hot! loves him!
