ghostdogjr: October 2010

another iceland airwaves i'll miss but frankly i'm not too upset - the lineup doesn't strike me as super-exciting. at any rate these are some of the substitution i'd make for my own private airwaves....

~~autodrone~~ - what is this? faux-post-punk? ok, people have tried this before. pair a capable rock band with a poppy singer. it doesn't work. think garbage. sleigh bells is my substitution. yeah, they are kinda crap but at least you can imagine dancing to their music.
~~moderat~~ - not bad bud kinda boring. like depeche mode stripped of its charm. gui borato plays at my airwaves.
efterklang - danish sigur ros clones? not bad actually. i let them play but only to avoid having to let sigur ros play.
~~harrys gym~~ - at best they sound like a second rate blonde redhead. when they don't, they sound like crap. so i get the first rate blonde redhead
oh no ono - excellent. never thought that the band i was most interested to see at airwaves would be danish.
~~jaakko & jay~~ - the proclaimers? they don't get to play and i opt for replacing them with 35 minutes of silence.
dominque young unique - too fun and too cute to let go.
polipe - a lot of potential here so they get to stay.
~~ramadanman~~ - a little dull isn't it? aren't there dozen artists or so on hyperdub that do this better? i pick kode9
