How do I know the summer is officially over? Because all the music industry folks are working. How do I know all the music industry folks are working? Because the Consequence of Sound inbox is chock full of emails, many of which feature brand new mp3s. Thus, our Friday Mixtape is again jam packed. We have new singles from Kanye West, Memory Tapes, Fang Island, and The So So Glos, plus remixes from Ariel Pink and The Gaslamp Killer. And, as always, our partner site, Cover Me , provides a whole bunch of quality covers. So please enjoy everything [...]
"O Relógio," off the band's self-titled debut, saunters along as an electro-folk groove.

Filed under: News , R.I.P. Tony Peluso , who played lead guitar with the Carpenters before becoming a successful producer, died on Saturday, June 5 in Los Angeles of heart disease, according to the Hollywood Reporter . Peluso, 60, was a four-time Grammy winner who made an impressive mark on the world of pop music, performing and producing on records that, in total, sold in excess of 150 million copies. Peluso got his start working with teen idol Bobby Sherman in the late '60s and [...]

Hoy se conmemora la batalla de Puebla y yo solo voy a subir canciones representativas de la cultura mexicana, en un intento de reflejar su esencia en unas cuantas canciones, sin importar el género por qué hablar de las batallas históricas, revolucionarías y de independencia o sea la que se, no es de mi agrado y mucho menos motivo para celebrar…Ya que en la época tan hedonista en la que vivimos resultan completamente fallidas las principales razones por las cuales se inician las batallas más bien, el motivo muere al conseguirlo ya que los líderes como cualquier ser humano frágil [...]
Café Tacuba , the Grammy and Latin Grammy winning outfit out of Naucalpan, Mexico, is getting ready to celebrate its 20th anniversary. And what better way to celebrate/get fans in on the fun as well then with a twentieth anniversary tour that will take the rock legends across Latin America, North America, and Europe over a 20 date span. Get it? 20 years = 20 dates. Talk about cleverness. The real kicker to this is, not only did the band survive the Mexican Rock movement of the 90's, but it did it without losing a single casualty. The [...]

Café Tacvba cumple este año dos décadas de haber tocado por primera vez aquel 27 de mayo en el Hijo del Cuervo en la Ciudad de México por lo que celebrarán con una gira que visitará 20 ciudades, llamada ingeniosamente "20 años, 20 ciudades" . Dentro de sus proyectos más cercanos, además del tour, se encuentra la realización de un documental, al mando de Ernesto Contreras ( Párpados Azules, 2007 ) en donde se incluirán imágenes de su gira anterior (SiNo) y la actual. También publicarán un par de libros: el primero [...]
Por coincidencia o simple curiosidad, el último tiempo he estado escuchando mucha música que, más allá de la diferencia de estilos, tiene algo en común: el usar lo tropical - en un sentido amplio de la palabra - como inspiración. Con esto no me refiero a que la primera imagen que venga a la cabeza con su música sean palmeras y cocos, pero sí que hay una intención de darle un colorido especial a

With the Outside Lands Festival coming up this weekend, we thought it'd be awful helpful to pull together playlists for each day of the festival so you can sample to a bit of each artist before you go. I've tried to find representative and/or live songs for each artist to give a good idea of what you're in store for. With our fancy new media player, you can even hit the little play button next to any song and listen to it as a mix even without downloading anything. Saturday: Tom Petty [...]
El reloj oficial para el inicio de Coachella marca 2 días, 14 horas, 3 minutos y 6 segundos, por lo cual su servidor se lanza a esta aventura una vez más en menos de 2 días. Cada vez es más la emoción: estamos afinando los últimos detalles para partir el jueves por la mañana junto con 5 grandes amigos, 2 de los cuales visitarán Indio, Ca. por primera vez en sus vidas. Ya no me queda mucho tiempo para recomendaciones, así que aprovecharé para dejar buena música y hablar muy brevemente de algunas bandas. BATTLES - [...]

Mexico's Café Tacuba have been on the forefront of Rock en Español for over a decade now, and they have yet to misstep, in m opinion. Their last album, Cuatro Caminos , offered up their sound with a healthy dose of quirky electronics that left me curious as to where they'd go next. Interestingly, their new album Sino is less experimental than their last work, but perhaps more across-the-board successful. For those who don't know them, Café Tacuba began [...]
I have to admit that - up until now - I kinda underestimated the importance of Café Tacvba . You have to forgive me: my first contact with latin music was only four years ago, when the hype following their 2003 masterpiece Cuatro Caminos was settled down, and the band members decided to take a sabbatical. Proof: when I dared to write the band had dissolved in this post , irate reactions of the extensive 'cafeta' fanbase followed. No, Café Tacvba is very much alive, and they are probably Mexico's [...]
