* Currently listening to Ben Frost’s « By The Throat ». I love it. You can stream the whole album on http://benfrost.bandcamp.com/ (yeah bandcamp rules!)

* Currently reading to Amin Maalouf’s brand new book. I don’t know if it has been translated in english yet, but if you do read french, go to get it. To my opinion, his books are usefull tools to anticipate our daily world. http://www.aminmaalouf.org/

You may know we’ve got a new album waiting to be spread all over the world. After many releases (album, ep’s, singles, remixes), we are looking for a brand new human dynamism in order to promote it.

So, we’re searching for people who is/has.

- knowledges about music buisness and new medias.
- ambitious, available and attracted by challenges.
- english and french speaking.
- attracted by electrical thistles, italian karaoké and pretty Chihuahuas.

We’re a looking for someone reliable and really hard worker. In fact, we’re looking for a killer.

Interested ? Send an email with cv, motivations and hugs to management@thotweb.net

Thank you.
Grégoire.

- Connaissance du marché de la musique et des nouveaux médias.
- Ambitieux(se), disponible, aimant les défis.
- Maitrisant l’anglais.
- Attiré par les chardon électriques, les karaokés italiens et les jolis chihuahuas

En clair, on cherche quelqu’un de fiable et vraiment bosseur. Enfin non… plus exactement, on veut un(e) tueur(se).

Shannon Wright is back. Her new album, called Honeybees Girls, will be out on September ,21th, in Europe. What a nice day to release a new album, autumn’s day…
Shannon Wright is one of my biggest influence. I saw her twice on stage and everytime, i had a shock. A new track is available on her myspace : http://www.myspace.com/shannonwright

I must confess i am pretty disappointed with this song. BUT i can’t wait listening to the whole album. It is said that, « Honeybee Girls is undoubtedly a red-letter in Shannon Wright’s career ».
Ok. It is true her last album, « Let in the light » was quite different from her past albums. « Let in the light » was less sharpened, more serein than « Over the sun » for example, which was an extreme album, hot as a summer’ sun. But the emotional blast was still here.

However, if you doesn’t know her yet, have a look to this live video. You may understand what i mean when i say ‘i had a shock’.

Comme vous le savez peut-être, pour avoir le droit de diffuser des chansons sur une webradio, il faut s’acquitter de droits d’auteur. En Belgique, c’est la Sabam qui s’occupe de les percevoir.

Radio Bodink et une de ces webradio et trouve leurs tarifs injustifiables. Elle a donc décidé de leur envoyer une lettre ouverte. N’hésitez pas à la diffuser, c’est fait pour ça !

Just fell in love withe The Sedan Vault !!!

Catch’em on myspace : http://www.thesedanvault.com

I recently spent two weeks in France, in my country. For me, it seems to be the best place to have a break. I took a lot of pictures, for Thot’s artwork but also for a contest the mayor of my village just set up. I enjoyed doing this exercice, looking for the best picture among streets and fields i know so much. And as Thot’s new album is now finished, i feel i have to look further than these hills.

Yeahyoureadwellthot’snewalbumisfinished. Enfin ! Cool ! Prima ! Super ! Great ! I don’t fucking care !! … ok, but don’t be too excited, because the release is not planned for the moment. We don’t have found the right person that could help us to make it the way we want.
I read a lot of blogs and websites about the music market and the way it is changing. And i feel really excited about it. So, i want Thot’s new album to be part of this kind of revolution. But be sure i’ll make the best i can to offer you something very strong and intense. Be patient.

(Feel free to contact us if you feel you are the right personn that could take part of the release of you new album. And if you’re just a fan or someone that enjoy Thot’s music, feel free to leave a comment and say hello or send me thistles’ pictures you took !!).

Don’t forget our Summer’sales are still running. I thank the people who already bought some stuff. I wish you keep our tees when you’re going to bed.

Thank you for supporting us. Enjoy the summer. Take care.
