Annett Louisan – in meiner mitte 2011

For her fifth album, Annett Louisan opted not to work with her usual producer and lyricist, Frank Ramond. Instead, she struck up a musical partnership with Danny Dziuk (a regular musician and songwriter for Stoppok) and producer Peter Hoffmann, with additional material written by Annette Humpe (Ideal, Ich + Ich), Ulla Meinecke, satirist Wiglaf Droste, and, for the first time in her career, Louisan herself. The record features chanson-like, guitar-based pop songs about relationships, and like Louisan’s previous two albums (Das Optimal Leben and Teilzeithippie), In Meiner Mitte reached number two in the German album charts.

The Unthanks: Diversions Vol 1. – Live From The Union Chapel, London [2011]

buy

A live album of a show that made The Independent’s Gigs of the Year list 2010

“Quite simply, Antony & The Johnsons and I have been blessed by angels. If I had to take a single summary of what Alfie and I have being doing over the years to the proverbial desert island I wouldn’t take one of our own records. I’d take the crystal clear interpretations of The Unthanks.” Robert Wyatt

“I am flattered and mystified! Their voices are so pure.” Antony Hegarty

Recorded at the Union Chapel, Islington, London on Dec 8th and 9th 2010.  There are no overdubs on the recording.

Catching Up Thing [2] [2011]

Thank you all for the comments and remarks. I’ve been doing some research on my posts from last year. If I look at my posts and the downloads, there are no significant differences between the posts with links or the one’s without. I have about 60 or 70 (custom/steady) followers who like the music I post and the average downloads are about 80 per post. I got 20 comments on the issue ( 50% like 50% don’t like links > some are clear about the motivation > don’t like to look for that myself > they said that in other words 🙂 ).  40-50 of 60 or 70 followers who are downloading my posts didn’t comment on the issue and downloaded the files without making remarks / comments.

Means: a minority like to have links, info etc (thank god it’s a minority), feel free to look for info, buy and listen links (when it’s not included) on the website of the artist or his/her myspace , bandcamp, soundcloud or whatever site you can find.

And indeed I have a job and some householding to do > Catching Up Thing goes on 🙂

btw I didn’t realize the blog was a reading club, Greets Jotien

Catching Up Thing

I’ve been doing this 4 times > no info, no listen or buy link included, well tagged (LOL) > much easier for me > should I do this in the future ?? Let me know what you think about this issue> greets Jotien pls do not rate this post clicking on the stars > I need comments, no stars in + or – > thnx again
