Pink Logs

Every week we like to share with you pictures of The Pink Logs. These pictures are a mix of pictures we have taken and ones that our readers like to send in to us. This week, The Pink Logs have been spotted on a trip to the Beverly Center shopping mall in Beverly Hills. The pictures were taken by hushhush ATTACK's very own Josh The Intern as he followed the logs up and down the aisles of the mall, to get the money shots that you see here.

If you've checked your mailbox in the last couple of days, you should have received the latest NZ On Air Phase, Part 13. If you haven't received one as of yet and want one, just let us know and we'll send you one, while supplies last. The CD includes:


The Naked and Famous - Serenade www.myspace.com/thenakedandfamous


Grant Smithies of the Sunday Start Times (New Zealand) gives them 5 stars and says "Finally, a young New Zealand band so brilliant, so thrilling, so daring and delicious that I want to write their name in big red letters on my pencil case."


Sidekicknick - Something In Your Eyes www.myspace.com/sidekicknick

SideKickNick is the solo project of Auckland musician Nick Buckton.  Legend has it that SideKickNick was conceived in an orchestra pit by two classically trained musicians; we can't confirm it's true but hey, it's a great story


Ladi6 - Walk Right Up www.myspace.com/ladi6

Ladi 6 kicked off her music career as part of the groundbreaking NZ all-girl hip-hop crew Sheela Roc.  Over the years she's lent her vocals to albums by Fat Freddys Drop, Scribe & Shapeshifter.  2008 sees the release of her own record, featuring production from long-time collaborator Parks, and Mu from Fat Freddys.


The Exiles - Circles www.myspace.com/textiles

Their influences are varied, ranging from Basement Jaxx to Curtis Mayfield, Kraftwerk to N.E.R.D. and Sly Stone to The Clash. The debut album is scheduled for 2009.


Die! Die! Die! - Sideways Here We Come www.myspace.com/diediedienz

The hypnotic "Sideways Here We Come" is lifted from their latest album Promises Promises and showcases the emerging mix of sharp melody with trademark Die! Die! Die! musical angst that has seen that album widely praised.

MP3 of the Week

MP3 Cian - Climbing Trees (Unsigned)

Cork, Ireland's Cian is a songwriter fronting a two-piece electro-acoustic outfit whose melody-driven music is a fine fusion of acoustic guitars with electronic beats and synths, reflecting influences ranging from the sweet, sublime sounds of Jeff Buckley to the electro-pop confections of the Postal Service. From the beginning his life has been steeped in music: his parents were busy musicians, always either on the road or in the studio with their band. To Cian, this was normal life and he aspired to the same, furthering his goals by taking up the drums at age four, piano at six and guitar at ten. He got off to a promising start when his debut EP was deemed "Pick of the Fortnight" in Hot Press magazine's "Garageland" section and he's since shared stages with such acts as British Sea Power, The 4 of Us and Cathy Davey. Cian completed his first tour of the West Coast of America in late 2007, where his music was featured on the popular Los Angeles acoustic music show "Tied to the Tracks" on KCSN. He's just returned to Ireland from his second US tour, which supported his soon-to-be-released second EP, Closer.

Video of the Week

Polysics - Rocket (MySpace Records)

When it comes to Japan, most people think of computers and electronic products as their main export, rarely does music come to mind; for now. Formed in 1997 and raised on heavy doses of Devo is the Japanese quartet, Polysics. The New Wave/Rock band that was named after a brand of synthesizer and has released several successful albums before catching the attention of MySpace Records; not only is MySpace creator Tom Anderson a friend, but he is also one of their biggest fans. Another fan includes Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo, who loves the music so much that he has their CD on his office hold system, so when a caller is waiting, they heard the Polysics. Their latest album, We Ate The Machine was released in Japan in April and was just released in the U.S. on September 30th. Enjoy "Rocket" by the Polysics and discover other music and videos by the band at http://www.myspace.com/polysicsna.

Chart Analysis

Chart Analysis NO FEAR & LOATHING FOR GLASVEGAS: Scots quartet Glasvegas, who bowed with a bang last week at No.2 on the Mediaguide Alternative Specialty Song chart with the self-released "Geraldine," completes their assault on the top spot by garnering the pole position this week; in addition, the track picks up enough spins to also claim the top slot on the Album end. This Sunday the Glaswegian foursome will be at the Roundhouse in London opening for Oasis (one can only imagine the things the Pink Logs, who will be in town for the inaugural MUSEXPO Europe starting the next day, will resort to in their efforts to get tickets), prior to starting a tour across Europe and the British Isles on November 15 through December 16; for further details, check www.myspace.com/glasvegas. Staying hot on the heels of Glasvegas are Stereophonics, who move 3-2 on the Song side with "My Own Worst Enemy," propelling their new greatest hits collection, Decade in the Sun (Fontana), 6-2 on the Album end. Eagles of Death Metal, who'd topped the Song side the previous two weeks with "Wannabe in L.A." (Rekords Rekords/Downtown), drop 1-3 on that chart but still get enough play for the song to stay strong at No.6 on the Album end. Top debut honors on the Song chart this week go to I'm From Barcelona, which is an act composed of musicians from...Sweden, of course! They debut his week at No.6 with the song "Paper Planes" (not to be confused with the M.I.A. tune of the same name), helping full-length Who Killed Harry Houdini? (Mute) to a No.7 showing on the Album index. Speaking of impressive bows, debuting at No.4 on the Album end this week are The Little Ones with Morning Tide (Chop Shop), with the majority of airplay going to the title track, which clocks in at No.14 on the Song chart.
