FEATURED ARTIST: BEASTIE BOYS I'm back and work and feeling loads better. Finally my face is starting to calm down and just in time too - Holy crap is TONIGHT is a loaded night for shows. Beastie Boys ARE playing a secret show at The Henry Fonda - AND I GOT A TICKET. I....AM.....SO......FRIGGIN'.. .....STOKED. I have [...]
Gabriel Orozco - Cats and Watermelons On a sunny day with a frisbee in hand, a dog is man's best friend. But in the freezing rain, it's definitely a guitar. And when one-third of Congressmen are millionaires, the frigid sky will never stop falling on us. Drenched strumming voices are composing humanistic umbrellas, but the millionaires are too busy raping their beaurecratic slave boys to notice. Eric Bachmann's subdued strength lyrically wards off the burden-weighted beast and Damien Rice hints a familiar safety [...]
No Show Today... We're pre-empted (again) today by women's soccer action on the home station. In House will be back in its usual spot and (presumably) its usual form tomorrow. In the meantime, MP3s for your enjoyment... Tom Waits , from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards (due 11/21): "You Can Never Hold Back Spring" (MP3) Juana Molina , from Son : "Micael" (MP3) Andy Partridge (xtc frontman), from Fuzzy Warbles [...]
I bought a couch today! And I'm thinking of buying an electric piano tomorrow, I've played for ages but never actually owned one. It's second hand, but about one third the normal price. Yeah, I think I will. I have to say, though I heard almost nothing ever from them before, The Essex Green are pretty damn good live. I especially liked the way the drummer's wife watched the show over the internet. And we watched her! She smoked and had a [...]

Juana and Her Sisters It's quite the miserable rainy day, isn't it? I was considering doing what I often do, and putting up a happy peppy tune in contrast, but just to shake things up, I thought I'd play into it and put up something a little downtempo. Juana Molina's family fled Argentina after the military coup in 1976, after six years in Paris, the family returned and Juana became the country's most famous comedienne. Deciding that was not for her, she moved to [...]
Here's some pretty hazy Augustish music huh? Juana Molina 's been talked about a lot for her new album Son and maybe that's because it's so awesome. All sung in Spanish, I don't know what she's saying but I've kinda stopped trying to and just let it wash over me. I think it's a good way of listening to it as a non-Spanish speaking person. Juana Molina-Micael Sorry I didn't post over the weekend. I wasn't at Pitchfork I was just [...]
Two things about Juana Molina 1) I trust Vin Scelsa, and he recently had her on his Idiot’s Delight Show. Generally, when Vin turns me on to a musician, I like them. This is the case with Juana. She was a guest on his show a few weeks ago. I was impressed with her articulation for a second language. Plus, this was my first exposure to her music. Me gusta mucho. 2) There is an interview in the Believer I blogged about last Friday ( Dave Eggers ). Did you know she [...]
Juana comes from a background in television comedy, a bit of trivia thrust upon me by a friend as she handed me a copy of Tres Cosas a few years back. Latent stereotypes took hold as I pressed play on...
You can (and should) catch Juana Molina at South Street Seaport tonight, free from 7-9 pm. [ Stereogum review .] Her set at Bowery Monday night was magical. Son is one of my favorite records on the year. Great "come down" music after a night of debauchery. Perfect for sunrise. Or candles. Juana Molina â€" “Micael†(MP3) Juana Molina â€" “Malherido†(MP3) Juana Molina â€" “No Seas Antipatica†[...]
Once again MS.com seeks to mine tracks from the best albums, and rescue tracks from questionable ones, in service of creating an unstoppable time capsule of a season's worth of music. Spring time had its hits and its misses, but there was good to be had, friends. Let's take a second, as rainclouds and crippling humidity ruin our lives to remember the beautiful days we once loved and the soundtrack filling our ear buds as we loved them. We're taking a few days off to enjoy the extended weekend, celebrate our break up [...]
En Unión y Libertad - no se banca más Argentina. The Argentine. La República Argentina. Home of the gaucho, the Patagonia, the bonkers military dictatorship and some fine beef . But home of rock’n’roll? Maybe not quite so obvious. But, as with any repressive regime, dissidents will out and under Galtieri’s military junta, punk rock was one of the most direct critics of the government (a risky proposition in those days: although not quite the ‘disappeared’ of Chile, don’t think Louis de Bernières was as fictional as might first appear in The [...]
The following is a selection of songs from artists who: a) I've been listening to lately. b) All just happen to be from some diverse places around the globe. c) Are brilliant. Camille - Ta Doleur This amazing French singer produces some of the most original vocals from a throat I've heard in a long time. Not afraid to overlay vocals, use effects or put emotion in her voice, her latest album 'Le Fil' which translates as 'The Wire' or [...]
