Turn up the heat,
move your feet, and
feel your heart beat.
It’s PART 3 of Turn Up The Volume‘s yearly hot summer
playlists. A mix of adrenalin-infused dance/groove/rock
fireworks and some moony musings to end the party
when the sun comes up.
To honor OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN, who passed away on 8 August
at the age of 73, following along severe battle against breast cancer,
veteran Riot Grrls Sleater-Kinney, Aussie songstress Courtney Barnett
and American actor/comedian Fred Armisen teamed up at a festival
in Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington, a couple of days ago.
They performed her massive 1981 hit PHYSICAL. It became a lively celebration
of the late superstar. Almost everybody with hairbands (as in Olivia’s sweaty video
of back then). S-K’s Corin Tucker did the vocals and the ONJ gym dance with Fred Armisen.
Last month the top-notch Australian songstress COURTNEY BARNETT
released her third full-length Things Take Time, Take Time.
In between concerts on her current North-American tour she jumped into
the studio of the Jimmy Kimmel Live show this week to play one of the tracks
from the LP, the sticky lullaby called If I Don’t Hear From You Tonight.
To promote it she appeared on American TV show Ellen playing Make A List Of Things To Look Forward To one of the singles.
A country resonating jingle. Totaly catchy.
Pitchfork says: “The Australian singer-songwriter’s fourth album has
the directness of a collection of demos. Barnett sounds characteristically
laconic; she’s at her best when she lets her guitar take the lead.”

Band: IDLES Who: Passionate post-punks
from Bristol UK
NME says: “The Bristol band’s fourth album is a course correction,
one that dials down the aggression in favour of reflection. This appears
a stepping stone in the band’s evolution, rather than the finishing line.”
XS NOISE says: “With Imposter, Dave Gahan lets us hear what
influences him, and it’s clear these songs mean an awful lot to him.
He’s not an imposter, he’s the real thing.”
