The Blogotheque is a very welcome French blog on the web. Especially for a special feature that distinguishes it in view of the blogosphere: the concerts a emporter.

A confirmation of affection inspired, here are the new video of his “Body’sa Temple” made with the help of some fans. These two appointments Italian:

It ‘impossible to explain in a few words what has happened. It ‘difficult to say in short words, with a post, as has been one of the most eagerly awaited musical events of 2008. The “Sweet & Sticky tour” by Madonna in Rome yesterday was a true delirium in terms of the public: More than one hundred people already appostate by early afternoon the day before.

List and checks written without stop for 24 hours later, not without complaints for giving acquired from “furboni” to Make of jostling, with the minimisation of normal trade union and common respect.

But even for non-camped in the area parterre the situation was not simple: an interminable queue at the entrance gate of a single managed as in the worst herds for slaughter. No support of civil protection and people on the edge of fainting, people crushed the barriers even before entering (with a wounded, it seems) and much nervousness for a crowd poorly managed in his entry.

Creating security conditions can not mean having to create a human funnel just a few people to address the crowd, with a policeman at sbaraglio who said that perhaps someone had opened the safe of gun fault of spintonamenti and men of the collapsed ‘ nervosissimo inevitable power of the public.

So the story is this: on August 28 the Radiohead have closed the tour playing American Bowl at Santa Barbara but since the room is small and the concert of Radiohead an event that deserves the attention of everyone has decided to transmit it via webcast on Dead Air Space explaining the fact with these simple words of Colin Greenwood:

To celebrate the end of a brilliant tour, we’re going to webcast the last show here in America. We’ll be playing live in Santa Barbara, at the Bowl. It’s one of our favourite places to play, I think we’ve ended tours there before, once even playing a cover of [Neil Young's] ‘cinnamon girl’. It’s not too big, in fact it’s very intimate, a small arena with a dirt floor, set in pretty countryside. It should be a special night, for lots of reasons, and we’re going to try and share as much of it as we can on the webcast.

Unfortunately I, like many of you imagine, the streming webcast me are lost but on the web are always someone closer to you. So Pitchfork has found on the web all videos of the ladder official concert. Li found at this page, I put in the head post Paranoid Android (trivial choice but always having an effect).

The only Italian date for Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore, or the minds of Sonic Youth. The New York band is expected all’Alcatraz Milan on October 9. Pioneers of noise-rock, in over twenty years of activity the Sonic Youth have entered sfornato work of law among the “classic” and one of the most influential for new levers of rock’n roll. The next album of the band, the first after the expiry of the contract with Geffen, is currently in progress.

“There is already independent label very interested in working with us, but I do not think is right - for now - sbilanciarmi about certain details. Prefer to avoid the risk of being in the middle of a storm of shit, “said the historian guitarist Moore.

Let’s go back to talk about Jason Mraz. What we have here is a tormentone is common ground, time is fixed in the ranking of individual best-selling (and most of the songs broadcast in radio) with its “I’m yours.” By the way, to fund post there we see a live only with the guitar.
