Round up of recent news

Posted by

A round up of news/updates you may have missed

Photos

Added quite a few candid photos from the past few weeks including Albert at the premieres for Anonymous and The Rum Diary and Nick DJing at the All Saints/Not For Sale Hollywood launch on October 24

Also some pictures from the Corona Capital Festival last month.

Voting time

Vote for The Strokes in the Best Alternative Band category at the MTV European Music Awards, today is the last day!

Also NME have a best album of the last 15 years poll running so don’t forget to show Is This It some love by rating it 10/10

Live Streams

There are two live streams this coming weekend

The Strokes at Personal Festival (O4 November 2011)

When: 23:20 (Local Time – Buenos Aires) / 22:20 (East Coast) / 19:20 (West Coast) 02:20 (UK) / Other Time Zones 

Live Stream : Watch it here

Recording :  Update: The stream quality is appalling so its very unlikely I will be recording it, sorry!

The Strokes at Planeta Terra Festival (05/06 November 2011)

When: 01:30 (Local Time – Sao Paulo) / 23:30 (East Coast) / 20:30 (West Coast) / Other Time Zones

Live Stream: Watch it here

Note: It seems like the stream is only for Brazil /other Latin American countries and possibly the US so I will not be able to record it which really sucks so if anyone can do it please let me know either here or on Twitter.

Misc

After Stereogum did a  cover/tribute album for Is This It earlier this summer it seems like Rock N Beats  has done its own version with Brazilian bands! More information at their site

Toxic Radio the new domain of the Hard To Explain forum has been down the the last few weeks but fear not it is now back!

    the Live Stream for Planeta Terra Festival is for the entire America (if I understood it right).. just to let you know so you may contact another Strokes fan site in US to record it if no one contact you :)

    Thanks for the info, if its being shown in the US there will hopefully be a better chance of a rip!

    Hey! I can confirm the information that the Planeta Terra live stream will be available in the US as well (link to info in portuguese http://www.agitobrasil.com.br/blogs/ontheroad/2011/11/01/planeta-terra-festival-2011-e-o-indie-rock-dominando-14-horas-de-musica-seria-o-strokes-ou-o-playcenter-parte-1/), not sure about Canada though. I’ll be watching it (I’m from Brazil but unfortunately I couldn’t make it to the Festival cuz the tickets were sold out in 14 hours!). Just so you know it’s daylight savings time in Brazil right now so might want to double check your timezones :)  
    By the way, this website is amazing! XOXO

    Thanks for all the info! Still annoying its not being shown in other places but hopefully someone will upload it.

  • Malkiewiez Priscilla

    I can record it to you if you’d like (still got to figure out how do to it since I’m far from being a technology expert) and send it to you so you can post it here. Anything to help out!

  • Malkiewiez Priscilla

    Oh, for people interested this site is airing the Personal Festival in Argentina. It’s only audio though http://www.metro951.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=9&Itemid=31

  • http://twitter.com/shesfixing Lou

    I would be so grateful if you manage to record it!

  • Malkiewiez Priscilla

    Ok, I’ll get you the audio for sure! The quality of the live streaming is HD and is perfect so I’ll try to figure out how to video record it (told you I was a technology handycap :/

    It’s okay video ripping is a lot harder to figure out but I look forward to the audio!
