feb 07 Cranes - EG Shining
I leaned about Cranes with singles like Everywhere and Shining Road, loved it but also was quite happy surprised to find out they started a lot noisier.

feb 06 Be Forest - Florence
With the Olympics starting today in Italy I thought I'ld choose an Italian band. Be Forest with a song about Florence, not Milan.
I really like their debut album (2011)

feb 05 Dinosaur Jr - The Wagon
In 1991 was a festival in Rotterdam called Ein Abend in Wien. I didn't go but there was a cheap sampler released which sold very well, on it also this song which I liked a lot.

01 Sonic Youth - Cinderella's Big Score
You have to start somewhere, why not here. Discovering SY in 1990 working my back though their albums surprised everytime what sounds they had created. And then came this live ep... just wow.

My favourite version of this song is on the live album Name of this Band, but already in 1975 they played it live, still slightly searching for the final sound.
