You didn’t think LCD Soundsystem’s final show at Madison Square Garden would fade into memory quickly, did you? Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace will be premiering a film about the concert at Sundance next year, described as, “A documentary that follows LCD Soundsystem front man James Murphy over a crucial 48-hour period, from the day of their final gig at Madison Square Garden to the morning after, the official end of one of the best live bands in the world.”

Austin, Texas survived her 10th year of the Austin City Limits festival. Thousands of Austinites and tourists flooded into Zilker Park last weekend for food, drink and, most of all, the sweet sound of music. C3 productions, the producers of this three-day event, thankfully worked out some of the kinks that plagued the festival in years past. In collaboration with Austin Parks and Recreation, C3 contributed to an irrigation system for Zilker, eliminating the “Dust Bowl” phenomenon two years ago. Adequate water filling stations, misters and an ingenious recycling system (fill a bag, get a free T-shirt) all contributed to pleasant and uplifting experience much needed by the folks in Central Texas recently ravaged by wildfires.

I could go on and on about the line up but why listen to me talk when you can just watch the official line up video:

If you were ever, at all, curious about what Kate Bush might have sounded like if she was in her prime 20 years later, she would likely sound like one Emilie Simon. Not quite the mercurial, witchy clone of Ms. Bush exactly, but vocally playful enough to sound like her, Emilie is coquettish and whimsical enough to be a worthy successor of hers, and is also, as it happens, not too shabby of a composer/arranger. Just a couple of years ago she single-handedly scored the soundtrack for 2005’s March of the Penguins and just a year later released her first full-length record “The Flower Book”. …MORE
