We all know I hate Best of Lists that come out before the year is over so nearly 4 weeks into 2012 I finally present my best albums of 2011! (Still a day faster than last year !) Below are the top 10 albums from my 2011 followed by 10 honorable mentions. The list was compiled by weighing total play counts along with longevity. Not only did I listen to it a lot, but was I still reaching for it months after the honeymoon phase. These are those albums. Since I can't be bothered to rank these [...]
Yes! In time for NYE! This is my favorite year-end list to make because its obviously the most fun. And I give it the least amount of stress. Read on for all my favorite party/dance jams split into three increasingly heated sections. Almost all these tracks could fit into the last one but I had to split them up somehow! There is not much organization here, just grooves for miles. So polish those dancing shoes and get limber because I wanna see you bounce! Note that the list ends with a very appropriate title (and song) for New Years [...]
Gli ultimi giorni dell'anno sono giorni di classifiche. Questi sono gli album che ho ascoltato di più, sono parecchi perché quando ci son da fare delle scelte non riesco mai a decidermi. Non c'è un ordine, ho aperto la cartella della musica scaricata quest'anno e ho copiato e incollato i nomi dei dischi che son stati la colonna sonora del mio 2011, tutto qui. Come al solito puntando la copertina vengono fuori nome del gruppo, titolo dell'album e cliccandoci sopra si arriva a qualcosa da ascoltare. Divertitevi. [...]
A friend of mine...let's call her "Megan"...turned me on to this instrumental band from the UK, and I thought this track would be the perfect way to melt away your hump-day stress. Don't really have the energy to say much here. If you want to check out more of Civil Civic, you can stream their latest album ( Rules ) in it's entirety here or here . For me, the track below entitled "Mayfield" is the highlight...as you'll probably notice, it's most easily described as an indie version of Explosions in the Sky. [...]
'Rules' is an apt name for this curious first outing from Civil Civic . Their own rules are something they adhere to rigidly, resulting in an album that's low in variety but high in energy, as they threaten throughout to cross the fine line into the Pendulum school of juvenile electro-rock bombast. It's something they avoid, but only just. These ten tracks are entirely instrumental and comprised of fuzz-treated bass and crisp, clear guitar lines accompanied by occasional electronics and, of course, 'The Box'; Civil Civic's robotic third member who not only acts as a [...]
I gave up meat almost thirteen years ago (the actual anniversary will be on Thanksgiving). Since that time I have only eaten it once, though it wasn't on purpose. I was working at a health food store, famished after having eaten nothing all day. We were closing for the evening and getting ready to throw out some mashed potatoes. I decided to eat some, not wanting these veggie delights to go to waste. After a few, it was apparent that what I had thought was potato skins was actually pancetta. The cook had left that part out. It didn't take [...]
![[LP] Civil Civic – RULES (w/ "Less Unless" "Run Overdrive" and "Street Trap")](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3844499_lg.jpg)
♫ Civil Civic - Less Unless ( previously posted ) ♫ Civil Civic - Run Overdrive ( previously posted ) ♫ Civil Civic - Street Trap ( previously posted ) A lot of songs come through the hallowed pages of TBE and many of them leave me wanting to hear more from a band. Many of them are even part of EPs that seem full of promise. But few have ever had as pumped for new material as the internationally Australian duo Civil Civic. Ever since "Less Unless" not so gently removed [...]
Va un chaval a una farmacia: - Oiga, me puede vender un preservativo, porque esta noche voy a cenar con la familia de la chica con la que salgo desde hace tres meses y después, a ver si cae. Bueno me va a poner dos, porque esta chica tiene una hermana que no esta nada mal, e igual cae también. Bueno mejor me va usted a dar tres porque la madre es una cachonda que pone los cuernos a su marido y ya metidos en harina... LLega la hora de la cena y aquí tenemos al [...]

RULES by CIVIL CIVIC My favorite electronic rock duo right now has officially dropped its debut full-length, Rules , for streaming on Bandcamp. Listen to it above. It's like playing a game of Megaman 2 on NES while eating pizza and riding a skateboard.

![[MP3] Civil Civic – "Street Trap"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3707650_lg.jpg)
♫ Civil Civic - Street Trap A sock-hop on speed, a go-cart race with Ferrari engines, grandparents on MTV's The Grind . Something that should be wrong but feels so right has to be Civil Civic. The international purveyors of instrumental freak-out surf rock have returned with a new taste off their upcoming debut LP Rules and you bet your ass I'm as pumped as can be. "Street Trap" is a million mile an hour whirlwind of shredding guitars and eardrums as you are hurtled face-first into the world of CC. If you [...]
MP3 Teasing toward their full-length debut, Civil Civic has dropped another track from it. If you've been into all of the fuzzy drum machine rock the duo has put out thus far, this new track, "Street Trap," should hit the spot. With a driving bassline and shimmering guitars, the sounds here are feeling as claustrophobic as ever. Maybe that sounds bad to those who have personal space issues, but I don't mind. Records that get right up in the faces of listeners are a must. Also, do I hear a cowbell in [...]
You've got to love Civil Civic. Not just because they write their own ace press releases. Not because their third member is a drum machine. And not just because they are providing us with a steady stream of scuzzy, noisy electronic rock goodness from their Dalston base. That's not all. ...
civil civic - "lights on a leash" (download) Civil Civic are an instrumental duo (trio if you count their drum machine) from Australia. They put out this limited 73 back in December. At points, they sound like Ratatat on speed, and at other points, they morph into their own unique, high energy sound. They have a whole bunch of stuff that you can pick up over at their Bandcamp page, and they also have an Indie [...]
