השבוע נתקלתי בסט מעולה ששודר לפני כשנתיים במסגרת התוכנית "סוליד סטיל" בקול הקמפוס. הסט שילב קטעי רוקנ'רול, Fאנק, ג'אז ואלקטרוניקה קלה (החל מסטריאולב ועד זאפה וג'יימס בראון) ומיקסס ביניהם בצורה מאוד מדוייקת. הופעתי לגלות בסוף השעה, שאת הסט ערכו ומיקססו חברי להקת The Bees הבריטים. מי ידע שהם בכלל כאלו? The bees, או בשמם היותר מדויק Band Of Bees מוכרים לכל שומע 88FM ממוצע. הם משלבים יסודות של רוק פסיכדלי כמו של Love, קלילות כמו של הקינקס, מילים מעופפות כמו של דונובן ואווירת סיקסטיז-סבנטיז מאוד חזקה. לתיבול כל אלו, הם חוטאים מדי פעם במקצבי Fאנק שהופכים את העסק [...]

Yesterday, we asked for any leads on Octopus , the soon-to-be-released album from Idolator-beloved U.K. band the Bees. Normally we wouldn't be so needy, but Octopus is so far scheduled for an overseas-only release, and we know that if/when Astralwerks decides to put it out here, it will get 1/1000th the marketing budget as some terrible new Fatboy Slim album. Anyway, thanks to your diligence, we now have Octopus in full, and we can testify to its shaggy greatness; for proof, here's "Left Foot Stepdown," the first single: [...]
2007's not even here yet, and we've already heard tastes of great new records from the Arcade Fire, Deerhoof, DMST, !!!, Menomena, LCD Soundsystem, Explosions in the Sky, and the list goes on. Well, you can add the Bees ' (aka a Band of Bees ) new LP Octopus to that bunch. I was a huge fan of their debut LP, Sunshine Hit Me , and subsequently completely ignored their follow-up, Free The Bees , for no apparent reason (is it [...]

This has never happened before...I have fallen for two bands with the same name...(and the name isn`t that good) A few months ago I mention The Bees (U.S.) and talked about how much I was enjoying the album High Society ... Now the british version of T he Bees (U.K.) have a new album coming out in 2007, and yours truly got to hear it...Its funny cause they sound so much alike but your still able to decipher who`s who...They [...]
The Bees - Got To Let Go Enfin...! "Octopus", le 3e album des anglais de The Bees, pointe son nez... Malheureusement, apr
Do the left foot stepdown!
Okay, so perhaps you, like me, enjoy some chuckles from the audacity and obvious illiteracy of the spam that you encounter in your daily email life. I always wonder to myself, "Hmmm, self. Could 'Lotts of plesure waits for you right after you take this medicine ' from a Romanian email address be, in fact , honest medical advice? ORRR perhaps that 'small-cap ivesssting hint!!!' that I've been needing is just right there in my inbox! I never have the guts to actually engage the spammers, mostly for fear that they will somehow firebomb my [...]
Well now that the Anniversary has past and the 125 Albums is done is time to get back to some regular blogging...I wanna first get off my chest that Lost made me "Lost" again last night....I have no idea where they are going with Locke`s character...and what`s with the unbelievable Polar bear shit...I like it when they have story lines that are semi-convincing...it was still good though. Just not as good as the other story lines... (Why The Plane Really Crashed) [...]
I haven't made a post in a long time. Not a substantial one, anyway. After making that new header yesterday, I realized that it was ridiculous to spend so much time on how this thing looks and not make a POST, for pete's sake. So here I am to correct the situation. I've been listening to a lot of older stuff lately. I went from listening to things I liked in high school a couple of weeks ago, to digging further back to my childhood this week. There was a lot of music in my house when I [...]
We send our wishes of peace to anyone involved in that new war getting started over in the Middle-East, this should bring a realization. In (much) lesser news, Weezer has finally called it quits and decided to split , like they should have after the Green album. Their first two albums were brilliant, but it was all downhill from there. I also hope Zidane doesn't know what YouTube is. So, let's tune into some good music... --------------- The Killers - When You Were Young [...]
