Este Fin de semana me lanzare para este festival que recien se inaugura este año aqui en la Bahia, no sera un Austin City Limits pero se ve que tiene posibilidades de crecer en años siguientes, y de hecho la alineacion esta vez no se queda a tras. Estara muy diversa en cuestion de estilos musicales, por el lado latinoamericano estaremos muy bien representados por los regios "Kinky", que desafortunadamente para mi, se presnetaran el sabado, ya que yo solo asistire el domingo. Bueno aqui les dejo la alineason y poco de cosas mas. Esperen mas para el martes... [...]

Hey maybe we'll even see you there. Have a great weekend. For some tips on surviving the weekend head over to hypeful and study up. mp3's after the jump...

The Voodoo Festival has finally revealed the specifics on their stage lineups for the weekend of October 26-28th. There are far too many bands to go into extensive detail here, but if you click on this link you'll be magically transported to their website. The festival is sporting a pretty nice lineup this year, and certainly anything that brings money into New Orleans is a decent cause. I've posted a few MP3's from some of the big names below! Listen: BRMC - Lien On Your Dreams [...]

I was poking around the internet and found NME’s list of the 50 greatest indie anthems ever. It’s not a bad list, a little heavy on the Oasis maybe and I’m not sure what definition of “indie” they’re using but an ok list nonetheless. Here are their top ten: 1.Oasis - 'Live Forever' 2. Nirvana - 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' 3. Pulp - 'Common People' 4. The Smiths - 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' 5. The Libertines - 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun' 6. The Libertines - 'Time [...]

All is revealed... 5. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder There is no sitting in the fence with CYHSY. You either love them or hate them. I understand the arguments, he can???t sing, the lyrics are reasonably banal and there is little to speak of in the musical arrangements. I don???t care, I love them and for me Some Loud Thunder picked off right where their debut left off. Alec Ounsworth still has the ability to transfix my imagination in a way few [...]

As always, it pays to be passive-aggressive . Amazon's picks for the best books of the year so far . We're in the middle of our countdown, we could see some progress there soon. Oh, Ms. Allen... that's gross . (Go Fug Yrself) Wait-she's claiming exhaustion. ( Idolator ) Dave comes around to Junior Boys . Mike Birbiglia is touring pretty much everywhere you could imagine . Hot new Shara Lessley poem . (Agni) The long list for the Booker [...]

Sure are a lot of bands these days using the word “say” in their name. While, at least four that I have in my collection. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah ~ Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood Do Make Say Think ~ a tender history in rust LindSAY Anderson ~ The Sea & The Storm You Say Party! We Say Die! ~ Monster More randomness. Many of these artists are available [...]
Ok. You like The Arcade Fire. You like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Well done. You have good taste in music. Both bands releasing albums this year which in my opinion have been successful in emphasizing the sheer genius of each band. Neon Bible and Some Louder Thunder respectively. You should own both. (Jenny Dowdell, 2007) [...]
D id you think I forgot about you already? No way. Here's another batch of fresh Lollapalooza 2007 MP3 goodness. Can't wait! With all the festivals in Chicago, it is shaping up to be a busy next few weeks. Oh yeah, and how good is the new Against Me! album? Soooo good. MP3 | Blonde Redhead - 23 MP3 | Clap You Hands Say Yeah - Satan Said [...]
Garanto-vos: o Superbock Super Rock 2007 foi um excelente festival! Quem por lá passou gostou, certamente, do que viu. Os grandes nomes confirmaram a sua grandeza e os mais desconhecidos, sem serem surpresas, cumpriram muitissímo bem o seu papel. Esta edição do Los Camones para além de se chamar Pame Koritsia!! (Vamos meninas!!) também pode ser apelidada de "a edição grega". Outra coisa coisa vos garanto: não se vão divertir tanto a ouvir isto quanto eu me diverti nos 3 dias do festival: 01 - Arcade Fire - Keep The Car Running - Neon [...]
Dia 1 :: 03 - 07 - 2007 O Superbock Super Rock 2007 acabou por ser um excelente festival. É certo que o line-up tinha tudo para que assim fosse, mas nós certificamo-nos que assim tenha sido. Apesar disso a coisa nem começou da melhor maneira! Chegados ao recinto, dirijo-me à zona de imprensa para ir buscar as credenciais. - Sou da rádio assim assim, este meu colega também... - E tem a certeza que têm credênciais? - Perguntava ela. - Sim, acho que sim. Mas não tínhamos. [...]
As expected, the lineup for Lollapalooza this year is phenomenal. The scheduling , on the other hand, prevents one from having the full Lollapalooza experience, or as I prefer to phrase it, milking it for all it's worth. It's a pity to pay $195 for a ticket, but only be able to see half of the top bands. For example, the schedule pits Daft Punk against Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, Yeah Yeah Yeahs against Snow Patrol, Muse against Interpol, and My Morning Jacket against Modest Mouse. Bah! I am a disgruntled customer. Furthermore, the [...]

You might remember a post I did a few months ago where I introduced you to the concept of "Miis Meet Indie Rock" (if you didn't see it, go familiarize yourself ). Since that post, miis (which are those little avatars for Nintendo Wii) of the "indie" variety have exploded onto the scene and carictures of some of my favorite artists been popping up all over the place. I decided that it would only be right to do a "part two", and show you guys some of these. All of these Miis were found at MiiPlaza.net [...]

Last week, I presented my picks for the best albums of the year thus far . Here are some of the songs. I'll probably finding myself posting these all again at the end of the year. They're that good. Not a lot of overlap with the albums -- in picking favorite songs, I find myself drawn to tracks that stand-out from a record vs. trying to pick a winner out of a collection of great songs. So you can imagine how good the Spoon song below is if Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is my current AOTY. [...]

I saw Clap Your Hands Say Yeah about a year ago, and they were awesome. So much fun and energy, and the music just popped live. Hope that's still the same these days.

The Noise Pop peeps have done it again. In conjunction with Another Planet Entertainment, they've just announced an outdoor fall music festival on Treasure Island , the other mysterious land mass in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. It's been so long since I've been out there, it's just this exit on the Bay Bridge that I always used to speed past. But come September 15 . . . THE FIRST TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL [...]

Raté les Cold War Kids, certain disent qu'ils étaient meilleurs que Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah ce soir. Beaucoup de monde à La Cigale, il fait chaud et un con de poteau me gache un peu la vie et la vue. Un bon concert mais loin d'atteindre les sommets ... Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Let The Cool Goddess Rust Away (Black Session) Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some [...]
