Дружелюбные вибрацииДружелюбные вибрации 7.7: NIN, Doja Cat, Geese, Tame Impala, AFI, Wednesday etc.Поздравляем (или не поздравляем) с зимой. Релизов вопреки расхожему мнению все еще полно (или мы их медленно разгребаем). Короче, слушайте наш новый подкаст ДРУЖЕЛЮБНЫЕ ВИБРАЦИИ и слушайте музыку.0:00 Nine Inch Nails – "Tron: Ares". Ожидаемый саундтрек к большому фильму оказался спорным. Набор атмосферной музыки или полноценный альбом?8:25 Jerskin Fendrix, композитор последних фильмов Йоргоса Лантимоса, в сольном творчестве создал личную вселенную из фортепиано и призрачных мелодий. Изучаем, как звучит его альбом "Once Upon A Time... In Shropshire.16:30 Новая глава в карьере Doja Cat, альбом "Vie" — безупречный поп с идеальными битами, за которым скрывается... что? Мнения фаната и нехейтера21:18 "BPM" от Sudan Archives - смесь соула, фанка, R&B и электроники, которая не перестаёт удивлять с первого до последнего трека. Кому зайдет один из самых замороченных релизов года?26:03 Один из самых главных музыкантов прошлого десятилетия (не, ну реально) Perturbator выпустил полноформатник "Age of Aquarius". Рассуждаем, как слушать синтвейв в век, когда он уже всем надоел.29:21 Кевин "Tame Impala" Паркер на альбоме "Deadbeat" окончательно прощается с гитарной психоделией, чтобы покорить танцпол. Звучит свежо, но заставляет задуматься — а не лучше ли было раньше? Да и было ли когда-то хорошо?43:38 Легендарный Bruce Springsteen перевыпустил свой минималистичный шедевр "Nebraska", в котором наконец отпустил на волю полумифическую электрическую версию альбома. Обсудили, почему эти записи к одной из главных пластинок в истории лучше бы и оставались мифом.36:50 Пластинку "Getting Killed" от Geese окрестили чуть ли не главным рок-альбомом года. Разобрались, что раздражает в этом новомодном коллективе, и так ли хорош / плох новый релиз.52:27 Артистка Neko Case нынче редко выпускает релизы, поэтому вот вам тезисы, почему ее "Neon Grey Midnight Green" точно не стоит пропускать1:00:50 Музыка Skullcrusher наверное черепа не крошит, но вполне себе убаюкивает. При этом альбом "And Your Song is Like a Circle" очень даже оправдывает свое название.1:03:40 А вот и настоящие скулкрашеры: возвращение немецких треш-металистов Sodom с пластинкой "The Arsonist". Есть ли еще топливо в огнеметах стариков?1:12:02 Егору, т.е. почти главномупоклоннику группы Wednesday, не зашел их новый альбом "Bleeds". Что? Да! А что Сережа?1:18:40 Панк-ветераны AFI записали альбом в духе готик-рока 80-х. Рассказываем, как они к этому шли, и почему "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun..." получился одной из лучших пластинок в их дискографии

The Brutally Delicious PodcastAFI "Behind the Clock" Single Review by Marina DiFor more than three decades, AFI has been in a nearly constant state of reinvention. The band have made it a point to evolve with every album—sometimes dramatically so—never allowing themselves to become too comfortable in one genre or rest on any of their impressive career laurels. It’s an approach that has grown their audience but also challenged it with a sonic identity that can shift in wild, unexpected directions. Now with their twelfth album, Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, AFI are once again at the start of a bold new chapter, only this time they’ve even ma...

Drama unfolded in the last event of the day at the 'Big Lotus' stadium when the women's 100m hurdles was stopped after the gun was fired.

Playing FavoritesTodd HitchcockFew people have influenced and encouraged my foray into the film world quite like Todd Hitchcock, Director of Programming at the AFI Silver Theatre, and our splendid guest tonight. After years of talking all things cinema it's a wonder we still have more to discuss, but as always we managed a fascinating deep-dive into what makes great movies great - this time, Scorsese's Taxi Driver.
Our chat also encompassed the Neolithic wonder of the Orkney Islands, the AFI Silver podcast Silver Streams, and Todd's remarkable lyrical expertise. It's Playing Favorites.
