The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spening A Night In - Thee Oh Sees [2008]

He vuelto despues de miles de millones de años de no subir nada. Ustedes disculpen, pero he estado tan pero tan ocupado que bloggear termina siendo casi imposible.

Regreso con Thee Oh Sees de San Francisco California. El proyecto mas reciente de John Dwyer mejor conocido por ser parte de la banda Pink & Brown. La banda empezo como un 'side project' de Dwyer por si solo pero lentamente fue evolucionando a una banda completa.

El sonido? pues... no es mas que puro rocanrol ahogándose en REVERB y delay pero mas mas mas RRRRRRREEEEEEVVVVEEEEERRRBBBBBB

-ahem-

Solo bajenlo... esta muy bueno y si tienen la oportunidad de verlos en vivo, haganlo.. a mi me dejaron voquiabierto:

Beyond Reinforced Jewel Case - BARR [2005]

No puedo escuchar este disco e ignorar lo indulgente que es consigo mismo.
Imagina que estas en un cuarto con un piano, un bajo, una computadora y tus pensamientos. Nada es escrito. De hecho, las letras y los instrumentos fluyen en párrafos. Hablas de tu vida, amigos , familia, conversaciones por teléfono. A veces cantas pero lo de mas es básicamente solo tu recitando.

BARR es el proyecto que define la mente de Brendan Fowler. Fowler tiene una habilidad de expresar su mente de una manera muy única y poética. Lo importante es claro las lyricas.
Fowler de plano se va al extremo con lo que uno puede incluir en una cancion pero aun asi mantiene las canciones cortas y simples.

Un álbum para la minoría la verdad. Muy difícil de digerir pero aun así recomiendo que entren en la cabeza de un ser humano que no tiene miedo a expresarse.

The Printz - Bumblebeez 81 [2004]

Bumblebeez81 no son perfectos. No tratan de cambiar la cara de la música. Pero aun asi hay algo en este disco que me grita: "ESCUCHAME".

No muchas 'white girls' son buenas rapeando pero hay excepciones como con Pia Colonna de bumblebeez.

Y bueno el disco esta repleto de beats minimalistas y desonantes. Un disco muy divertido y ruidoso y nuevo y positivo.

'Vila Attack' rapidamente se convierte en una de mis canciones favoritas para escuchar mientras condusco...

Ando con pocas palabras hoy. SXSW me roba todo mi tiempo y mi energia.

It Was a Good Day - Ice Cube

April - Sun Kil Moon [2008]

Mark Kozelek de la banda Red House Painters en su proyecto solista como Sun Kil Moon.

April, es un disco muy sencillo la verdad. 11 tracks de sinceridad pura que contrastan toda una variedad de sentimientos. Siendo el tercer disco, creo que April realmente es la definicion de lo que Sun Kil Moon realmente puede impartir. Largo pero con una buena razon. Intimo pero con suficiente cortecia para vagar lo suficiente que permite al que escuche se pierda en las canciones,
Kozelek define el termino de "artista" y April es solo otro disco sorprendente que muchos ignoraron en el 2008. April es toda una experencia que te atrapa y se gana el camino a tu corazon de una manera tranquila y silenciosa.

La pasion con la cual Mark Kozelek se expresa es realmente hermosa.

Heavy Rocks - Boris [2002]

Ya tenia mucho de no escribir en mi idioma original. Creo que regresaré a escribir en español ya que siento que asi me expreso mejor.

Boris es probablemente la banda mas pesada, oscura y misteriosa que he escuchado. Y aunque siempre habrá gente quien no este deacuerdo, tengo que decirlo otra vez.

Boris es probablemente la banda mas pesada, oscura y misteriosa que he escuchado.

Heavy Rocks es su cuarto disco y a diferencia de los discos pasados los cuales tenian un sonido dirigido mas hacia los sonidos del Drone y el Doom. Este disco se separa completamente de todo eso y enfatiza mas en los sonidos del clasico rock & roll y el stoner rock.

Un disco clásico de Rock & Roll con una esencia mas moderna muy ala 'Boris' que cualquier fanatico de este estilo deberia de agradarle.

Sun and Sinking Well - Josh Gibbs [2009]

Joshua Gibbs is a part of Sydney Australia's Bird's Robe Collective.

Josh Gibbs is an unsigned solo artist from Sydney Australia. His music incorporates elements of cut-and-paste minimalism; dreamy, guitar-based pop; year-long halls of reverb; and a humble, often playful sense of melody. His first EP, “Hardened Sparks”, was released in May 2008.

After playing several shows around Sydney with differing lineups in support of the release, Josh returned to his home-studio to begin demos on what would eventually become his second and most recent release, “Sun and Sinking Well”. SASW was recorded between April and December 2008, entirely on low-budget equipment, and mainly late at night, where his microphone was least likely to pick up the sounds of the family around his house as he desperately tried to record his fifteenth vaguely flawed vocal track.

Both Josh’s releases are currently for sale via his Myspace page."

NOMO - NOMO [2004]

When I first heard this CD, I could not believe this band was from, Michigan. A brilliant line-up of first-rate musicians worthy of packing the dance halls of Nigeria and the rest of the African Continent. Put this CD on and everyone in the house is shakin' it! Every track fabulous! Incredible horn section! Masterful solos that would bring a smile to Fela Kuti, Pharoah Sanders or Archie Shepp. A rockin' rhythm section and outstanding percussion. I couldn't wait for the next CD and when it came out I was not disappointed! When you put on NOMO, turn it up and get on down!

If you like this album also get Nu Tones imo.

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 [2000]

Shit son, what happens when you get one of the best MC's in history (Del tha Funkee Homosapien), the most musical turntablist on the planet (Kid Koala), and throw in the most underrated producer in the music industry (Dan the Automator). You end up with one of the most experimental, and "ahead of it's time" albums in hip-hop.
What you will find is an extremely lyrically gifted artist, laying down metaphors verse after verse. It may take you a while to absorb it all, but hey... it has substance. The music in the background may take a while to absorb as well. If you "feel" music, then this is something that you will like. Tthe concept album is based on a story set on the year 3030.

The album follows Deltron Zero's fight against an oppressive government and powerful corporations, while also battling to be the Galactic Rhyme Federation Champion.

Del's lyrics veer from serious social commentary to humor to epic sci-fi battles, while producer Dan the Automator creates an eerie and dense atmosphere.

A Haunting We Will Go-Go - The Ghastly Ones [1998]

The Ghastly Ones are a Horor-Surf Rock band from Cali and they're pretty much the shit. They have a late-night monster movie theme.

They infused their love of Halloween records, late night monster movies and Screaming Lord Sutch with inspiration from early sixties surf and hotrod acts like The Lively Ones, Avengers VI, and The Del-Aires to create the first 'spooky surf' band.

The band's first show was at Al's Bar on Halloween 1996, infamous in the punk world for several rowdy Misfits shows. During their early shows, the stage was often decorated with tombstones and cobwebs to give their performances the proper atmosphere.

Stress: The Extinction Agenda - Organized Konfusion [1994]

"How does one define an underrated classic at the level of 'Stress: The Extinction Agenda'. Sure, Organized Konfusion turned heads with their self-titled debut which can sort of be labeled as the underground's 'The Low End Theory'. As anyone familiar with hip-hop knows, Organized Konfusion possesses an extremely fluent poet in the form of Pharoahe Monch who literally gives probably the best rap performance ever on this record. His style is one of a kind, and those who label him as the second coming of Rakim are right on point. He has proven time and time again that he is a genius lyricist and his two solo records 'Internal Affairs' (1999) and 'Desire' (2007) are testaments to his prowess behind the mic. His partner in crime Prince Po delivers in an extreme contrast to Monch, his style is just as conscious but usually completely to the point which is definitely a nice counter to Monch's very hefty rhymes." - pixiesfanyo

I'm dead serious here. This is probably one of the greatest rap albums of all time.

Fucked up Friends - Tobacco [2008]

Tobacco sometimes runs with a group called Black Moth Super Rainbow. On Fucked Up Friends, his latest mission, he works alone.

Tobacco's tools are analog synths, tape machines, and deformed incantations from throats unknown. His music is a wash of distortion and melody over jagged beats. It amalgamates hypnotic, cosmopolitan pop, gritty, propulsive hip-hop and a night full of fevered dreams. It buoys the spirit, braces the nerves, and smuggles disoriented paranoia deep into the subconscious. These are anxiously driven, effortlessly smooth and unapologetically badass sounds of inner nature.

Fucked Up Friends is a collection of boombox rockers that sidestep lazy nominalizations as they weave their cryptic inferences. "Hairy Candy"echoes the summer-fixated celebrations of BMSR, but with a dark, fevered perimeter. "Hawker Boat" and "Dirt (Instrumental Version)" strain stadium-rock grandeur through a dirty filter and serve it with rocks and salt. "Side 8 (Big Gums Version)," "Backwoods Altar" and "Get My Nails Did" expose a deep menace beneath their enticing rhythms - they get stuck in your head like sinister get-rick-quick schemes.

As a whole, the album establishes a one-man genre. Even with the latest tape-to-tape dubbing technology, Fucked Up Friends can't be duplicated.

Tobacco hails from rural Pennsylvania. He does not desire contact with the public at large.

Brigadoon - P:ano [2005]

A 22-track masterpiece. P:ano's sound is a diversity of musical and thematic interests, and the band members play several instruments. The vocals on this release are beautifully executed by the band. There is a good mixture of male/female vocals along with some tremendous harmonies. P:ano is a band that reminds me of several groups that I already admire and listen to. You can hear bits and pieces of neutral milk hotel, magnetic fields, saturday looks good to me, and half handed cloud on this cd. To be specific tracks 5 and 7 sound like electronic pop songs of the magnetic fields. The female singer sounds similar to the vocalist in saturday looks good to me. (especially on pure evil) Overall the tracks on this disc are consistently great due to the high quality songwriting talents of band leader nick krgovich.
