Lindstrøm & Christabelle
Real Life Is No Cool
Released by Smalltown Supersound / Feedelity
The Norwegian maestro of disco, Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, teams up again with Christabelle (also known as Solale), and together they craft a masterful 10-song pop album. They have worked together since 2001, and begun working on the album before 2008’s epic Where You Go I Go To.
Even though Lindstrøm is famous for his retro futuristic space disco, it never sounds like he’s working within a format. Real Life Is No Cool lacks the long masturbatory jams, and is tighter and more formal than his last few releases. The album is filled with new-wave pop melodies and piano house keys. It's sharp and chunky with heavy stomping basslines and wobbly arpeggiated synths. Wrapped in a warm and organic analog production, it's as dreamy as its title suggests.

These days there are more than a few musician-themed gallery shows, and they tend to be hit-or-miss affairs. Anthony Malzone’s upcoming San Francisco Art Exchange show of album covers, tour posters and web art he’s designed for , I mean Prince, reminds us of everything we like about Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson’s touchingly earnest sense of wonder, and of the fabulous: cosmic fireballs, rainbow-crowned keyboards, lotus flowers, neon fantasies, and costume changes. It also offers the process-obsessed (and Prince-obsessed) amongst us the chance to speak with the artist about working with…The Artist. Friday’s event begins at 5PM and is open to the public via RSVP: info@sfae.com 1.800.344.9633
The Art of Prince/5PM onward, Friday December 11th/San Francisco Art Exchange/458 Geary Street San Francisco, CA 94102

For some of us, homegrown late 90’s New York nightlife will always mean Bobbito, Rich Medina, Giant Step, Organic Grooves, Body & Soul and DJ Spinna. Wherever one of their parties pitched its tent, coveted multiculti urbanistas that worked hard, played hard. They didn’t know it then, but just about a decade later most of them likely would vote the first black President into office. It was during these years that DJ Spinna began throwing his now internationally famous and poignant “Prince vs Michael Jackson” parties. …MORE
Despite directing a spate of Xenia: Warrior Princess episodes, Sam Rami still rules. So hopefully the yeti related feature that he’s slated to direct doesn’t disappoint. Maybe Harry and John Lithgow finally have it out in an alternate universe…we’ll see.

This is obviously not the Nirvana that you May have believed it to be – GOTCHA!
Anyway, the band only released three discs, each receiving only a modicum of attention, although the first – a concept disc – is heralded today. Regardless of that, “Christopher Lucifer” was supposedly written to reference Island Records founder Chris Blackwell who had a bit of a disagreement with the fellows in Nirvana. The track’s a bit fey, but in that acceptable Brit Psych kinda way.
