no longer not a cult

it's almost painful to imagine how the sales are gonna be going through the roof as soon as the chapman family's long awaited debut 'virgins' is out by the end of october...their first second single is definitely a killer.

squirky

You know you are an artiste extraordinaire when journalists & blogger have to come up with new words to define your sound. Right now I make up "squirky" to describe the sound of Metronomy. From the gazillion remixes being posted on blogs every minute I think I could always identify such a "squirky" Metronomy remix. But this remix of Late Of The Pier's "The Bears Are Coming" I just found on tastes like caramel is different. Rather minimal, very un-metronomy. And I'm lovin it! The quirky sound from the original plus the Prince-like (...acid rain) voice... metronomynal!

time to predict the future

This very morning my coffee grounds told me the following:

"Of his knowledge a man should never boast,
Rather be sparing of speech
When to his house a wiser comes:
Seldom do those who are silent
Make mistakes; mother wit
Is ever a faithful friend."

And then something that I did not entirely understand: "Sprengjuhöllin"

So I googled it. What I found might be one of the most promising bands of 2009.
Sprengjuhöllin are from Iceland, so far all their songs were in icelandic, but they translated some of them now. I saw an interview at Iceland Airwaves in 2006 where they already seemed to think about changing their name to "hall of explosions", "hall of stars" or >ehem< "starcastle". I hope they won't.

Here's a video of "Worry Till Spring" in the original version: "Verum í Sambandi"

What could be a band name or the title of a short story by Miranda July is actually part of the rather complicated band history of Seattle based indie band Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band. But since keenplan is more about the music and less about the gossip you would have to go to Pop Tarts Suck Toasted for more details on this issue.
Here's the music.
