SYNONYMOUS.

SALAD DAYS

Summer 2000 I think. These really were the days of my life, skatboarding, weed and long summers. The last photo is a very young Jack Strange who left the skateboarding world to become pretty successful exhibiting fine artists.

DEVONTE HYNES IS BACK IN TOWN.

FOUND! BOX OF NEGS.

Im scanning loads of old negatives that I have found jammed between books. Lots of old memories flooding back, expect heavy photo based posting from now on.

This is from a trip to Spain in probably 2001, Happy times!

ITALIANS - HIS CLANCYNESS & BANJO OR FREAKOUT - ON THE PHONE

Alesso Natalizia, who records as ‘Banjo or Freakout’, the sonic sultan who can effortlessly turn the avant and experimental sounds he works with in to life effecting pop songs. Embracing everything from woozy old folk to dubstep, most notably on his cover of Burial's 'Archangel'. He releases through "totally on it" labels like No Pain In Pop and Half Machine Records.



Jonathan Clancy, the Canadian Italian has been a sturdy feature of the music scene in his Bolognan home, and on both sides of the Atlantic with his musical projects such as 'A Classic Education', and now in his slimmed down to one ‘His Clancyness’ a guitar and sample, faded pop project, which sees him sample and cover blog favorites such as Nite Jewel and Wavves.

These two old Italian friends chat over the phone about how location has effected their musical paths.

Let's eavesdrop on their phone call and discover a little bit more about them, how they operate and if Italians really do, do it better!
