Ranking Mr. Lionel
Flairs somewhere in the top 3 positions of my favorite new artists list is not only based on originality, my love for the sound of bass, & the fact that 'Better Than Prince' & 'Truckers Delight' rawks... I'm sure about it because i was priviligded to be one of the few lucky people who got to listen to the flairs album months ago & i assure you when it out you'll be able to experience a live gig sound blended with electropop right through your speakers
.I'm really proud of the
interview i did with him back in January which led to a sort of a honory long-distance-friendship! Anyhoo... he also recently did this brilliant video interview with 'The Art Pac/Fat Cat Films' where you'll see him talk'n'play and get to know a bit more about him!
** Past the middle part of the interview one of my favorite tracks from the album will be playing in the background, i can't reveal the title but i'll hint 'Shape Gender' lol.
Here are some recent updates from the man himself:
"The video's here! I've seen it last tuesday, it's foooooooookin cool, I cannot wait to send you the link when it's online (should be middle of next week.....)!"
"So far the 12" 's sold out, so we're pressing another 1000 when the video's out...."
"I'm flying to Bangcock/Thailand for some gigs in early May!"
And here's his reaction to the DVNO video post: "ha ha ha , read your blog today, the DVNO thing, same as DANCE was not totally made by SoMe.....He only gave a few drawings, and the guys from machine molle
(www.machinemolle.com //// soft machine in english) did most of the idea & motion 3d stuff which is pretty amazing... That's what really pisses me off with SoMe, is that he always ends up saying "I DID THIS VIDEO" when he did 10% of the foookin job.... (he did exactly the same for We Are Your Friends and D.A.N.C.E.) But I agree , he rocks !"
