[UPDATE december 2012 : The album is now free download, on Clewn.org audio section (bizarre navigation tools on this site warning applies) ; the link featured in this post never worked, sorry]
Okay, okay,
When I started this webzine, obviously, I knew that I would not review my own music in the "reviews" section. Instead of that, there's a "Your own recordings" session in which any band can speak about any of their releases, and I posted there from time to time to tell about albums I issued that I liked.
But, by a strange side effect, I almost never post news about my own projects here. Which is a shame, since, you know this if you read some of my reviews, my taste is just perfect and so is my music. Ahem, at least, for me.
So then, I'm proud to announce that the live recording from Me In The Bath's 2012 live concert in Janneyrias is now available in a pay-to-download manner straight from the Slcnc Music record label. The price is 0.7€ per track, and also, you can stream it for free in its entirety.

News from afmusic
Hey !
Once again I received the afmusic label newsletter, and once again it was great... But this time, this is even greater than that !
First off, their excellent March compilation, after going sold-out in its physical form, is now available for free download. If you still haven't listened to it, now you can also download it for free, and, well, it is excellent.
Then, oh wait oh wait, The Nightchild is back with a new release, that you can download from the label website real soon now, and if you subscribed to the newsletter, you can already do so, just like I am doing currently.
Another download that is now running on my desktop is from another band that I never heard about, but I liked the title of their album... It has been issued on CD, is now sold-out, and available for free in digital from. It's Aeon Sable's debut release : "Per Aspera Ad Astra".
And this, is only a small sample about what's new with afmusic, a label that is, definitively, the kind of label you can trust for releasing excellent music and for doing the job seriously.

Nique Dindon Caramel Bonbon strikes back
Roughly seven years after the band's split, happened what many, many people has been waiting for long, with much hope : Nique Dindon Caramel Bonbon is currently, finally, publishing some songs.
Yes, yes, until now their music only traveled onto antiquated MiniDisc format, among band members exclusively. But now these days are over, and the audience at large, from the hardcore fans to the total newbies, is now given an opportunity to get its hand on their recordings.
Nique Dindon Caramel Bonbon saga has been short, intense, historic. Maybe the greatest saga of all time, and even Gil Gamesh would agree, I think. They achieved a total and definitive shift for history of music. Beyond this, history of culture. Beyond this, history of mankind.
During about two or three years of noise and fury, Ism (bass and voice), Mika (guitar and vox) and Yo (drums) just wiped out everyone. I was lucky enough to be among the crowd for several of their gigs. When I pushed the "play" button on my computer's screen, I've been instantly taken back to atemporal fields, in the land of eternity, in the land of the essence of music.
Being raw, straightforward, while extremely subtle, being as innovative as strongly rooted into the greatest rock influences, this power trio changed the world forever. It's a slow and sure move, it's only the beginning. Over years, you'll hear about them, more and more often, you can be sure. I don't know how much time it will take but someday, this band will simply be over the top.
They operated in the Lyon area, in France. The band's member all came from a small town in the far suburbs. Mika and Yo are friends since childhood, and used to jam together for years before they actually decided to really start something.
At this time, I used to meet them quite often. They told me they were looking for a bass player. I told them about Ism, who is an old friend, who had no band at this time, and who was luckily playing bass since a recent era. He was already sort of local hero at this time, especially for having been a member of Euh, a band that was probably the best one in the local scene just a few years before.
Ism met Yo and Mika. They liked each other's approach to music. The band was born.
Then the story began. As I said, it only lasted for an handful of years, but it's an intense story, and telling it correctly would require much research. I won't tell their story now. Now I will give you a link. Be patient the page takes time to load. Download their song from Wumzle Radio's website. DO IT NOW ! For now there's two. Expect more in the near future.

The Psy Gangnam Style Video Thing
After two years of break, Psy came back recently with a sixth album. In July was released the "Gangnam Style" single's video on Youtube.
When this post is being written, there's 396 952 590 views on the counter. Currently #1 in Youtube 100.
According to some sources, 20 millions views just for yesterday.
If you want a quick view of how big is the phenomenon, watch the live version of Gangnam Style on the same video site where Psy plays this song in a crowed stadium for the Summer Stand concert and the magic is here and real.
I think Europe is about to fall in love too.
