I don't often find myself clamoring for more past the token encore these days but then not many bands can turn a venue into a party quite like Cansei de Ser Sexy . Download: CSS - "Left Behind" The release of Donkey earlier this year found the Brazilian group trading in the unrefined approach of 2006's self titled debut for a slightly more polished pop sound, but its celebratory essence remains the same and that sets [...]
CSS were big crowd-pleasers last Thursday at the Echoplex, filling the large space with dancing fans and balloons floating overhead. We came in just after openers Natalie Portman's Shaved Head , so I can't vouch for them aside from a cool name, after talking to some people outside about what they thought of CSS's new album Donkey . The general consensus was that it was something of a sophomore slump, but since I really liked the single "Rat Is Dead", I had a feeling I wouldn't agree. I have since gotten the album and discovered that [...]

Although the first post on this blog appeared over a year ago today marks the anniversary of the first post about music with mp3's, so I consider today the true anniversary of the blog. So whilest everyone is travelling across the country today and tomorrow to visit family, spending hours upon hours in the kitchen cooking and baking or just relaxing I thought I'd take today to thank everyone for visiting, commenting and emailing me. I know the past few months have been difficult for bloggers, especially some of my cover loving friends, but as long as there are people [...]
Let's Reggae All Night by Cansei de Ser Sexy (CSS)
What do you get when you combine Brazilian electro-pop and English piano-rock? Too many words and a great pop remix definitely worthy of a post. With two giants like Keane and CSS , there isn't really any more background needed...but Keane just released their latest LP titled " Perfect Symmetry " in early October and CSS's " Donkey " was released in July of this year....so if you haven't checked either out I suggest you do so now. [...]
As long as there have been bands, there have been songs about women, from Marilyn Monroe to Monica Lewinsky to Queen Elizabeth. So why not Paris Hilton, the modern era's most disposable tartlet, a perfect subject for the modern era's disposable pop songs. Which isn't to say that all of the below are lousy, but unlike say "Alison," "Melissa" or "Angie," won't likely be remembered generations from now. Nor for that matter will the lasting cultural contributions of Ms. Hilton. Cansei de Ser Sexy - "Meeting Paris Hilton" Attempts to set [...]
In keeping with the other day's theme about iconic women in rock (and kidney stone related songs/puns ) here's Cannonball originally by The Breeders , covered almost to a 'T' by Brazillian electro-post-punk-rockers CSS aka Cansei de Ser Sexy . CSS - Cannonball Enjoy! (and again sorry for the spotty posts, still illin' from the stone) LS
On the second day of its second year, Monolith solidified its place as a festival to be reckoned with. Also, Jesus took the stage in a glowing cloud of blue light -- oh wait, no that's Band of Horses . Close to divine. Although the attendance this year was a ways from capacity, Monolith is still one of the better festivals I've been to recently, with its diverse lineup of acts --from hip hop to acoustic indie, cock rock to electronica-- and gorgeous Colorado scenery. Maybe it's [...]
Sunday sunday Sunday! Sunday is a day for prayer............ for some. Sunday is a day with the family........ for some. Sunday is a day for sports...... for some. But Schitz son, Sunday is a day to shag.......... well......... for some. Songs to shag to....... or something.....

CSS - Blackwing (mp3) (b-side from the Left Behind single )
Photo Courtesy of Chris Proud I am glad I am getting around to doing this post - I have been listening to so many great albums the last few months it would be a crime not to share them with you. 2008 has been a fantastic year for the artist album and there has rarely been a week that where I am not enjoying something new. Bloc Party – Intimacy Everyone was extremely surprised when Bloc Party suddenly [...]
stringer Okay, old news, Sarah Palin is in. I don't talk much about politics on this blog, well I don't talk about anything really other than music, and by all means I won't go into any depth, but I couldn't pass this one up. I know that if you're here and you're wondering why you're at a music blog, you searched 'Sarah Palin hot legs' or something of that matter. I'm not sure what the republicans were going for with that move, most forward thinking women vote for democrats because [...]
Llámenme conservador o cualquier cosa pero para mi Move es la mejor canción de Donkey , el segundo álbum de los brasileños CSS . Este es de los pocos temas que siguieron la misma tendencia electropop de su álbum debut y, no es que me haya quedado estancado con su anterior sonido, pero siento que les salió mal el intento de sonar más punk al estilo The Donnas. De cualquier manera, es de admirarse que trataron de proponer nuevas cosas. Dirigido por Keith Schofield, el videoclip muestra a los integrantes de CSS viajando [...]
unknown Another great track from Phrenzy . Definitely heard this great track by Van She many times, a remix of it can't hurt. I'm definitely loving it! Second is a rather old remix by Frankmusik of CSS . He's kind of the underrated version of Calvin Harris, he deserves way more hype than he has. And lastly, the Vega remix of Justice . Why hasn't there been more remixes of this track? I love Valentine . It's [...]
2008 Sub Pop Buy (Amazon.com) Charo/10 I'm grasping at straws. "Oh boy! Another metareview about writer's block. How creative - it's only been, what, 5 weeks?" Broken Social Scene 's 2002 release You Forgot It In People is an indie rock milestone. This Toronto collective has fina--- "That's Broken Social Scene, B SS. You're reviewing Cansei de Ser Sexy , C SS. Get it straight!" [...]
Después de presentarse hace poco tiempo en el Summercase, CSS regresarán a España para presentar su último material Donkey que, a muchos decepcionó por el fallido intento de cambiar su sonido electropop por un más punk, estilo The Donnas. Sin embargo, los buenos shows que realizan en vivo nadie se los niega. Los paulistas visitarán tierras ibéricas a finales de octubre y principios de noviembre. Harán fechas en Madrid y Barcelona: 31 octubre - Barcelona - Razzmatazz 2 01 noviembre - Madrid - Sala Caraco [...]
With the onslaught of tickets I've bought for Hadouken! , Utopia Rave , Freedom Festival , Parklife Festival , Homebake Festival & now MGMT and soon to be Global Gathering Festival , my wallet capacity is now on the brink of existance, pleading for some peace. So, I've decided its time for some more free shit that makes me happy. And what perfect way to acheive complete and utter happiness than with some cracking new music that gets the juices flowing. Remix legends [...]
Happy Birthday Madonna! When I'm 50 may I look half as good as you do (except how you've been looking the past few weeks...not so good)! There is nothing I could possibly say about Madonna that hasn't already been said, enjoy the covers, I have a ton, so maybe we will see a part II some day. If I had money I'd see her on her upcoming tour, it looks like she'll be pulling out an awful lot of the classics, I hope her foot heals quick for all of you that do have tickets! Tracks in chronological order, or [...]
