La mattina del 13 dicembre le ragazze scandinave indossano vesti candide e una corona di candele accese. L'oscurità della notte di Santa Lucia , che secondo il Calendario Giuliano era la notte più lunga dell'anno, è ormai alle spalle e la luce può ritornare. Ci si scambia doni, si preparano dolci tradizionali, si canta in coro e prende il via il periodo delle festività. Come già gli anni scorsi , anche "polaroid alla radio" ha deciso di entrare nello spirito natalizio e di provare a farvi un piccolo regalo. Ho chiamato un po' di amici e di [...]

Il nastrone di polaroid per l'estate 2011 Tutto quello che riesco a pensare in questo momento lo dice già il titolo del nastrone, che poi è anche il primo verso del primo pezzo. Qui c'è il link per scaricare lo zip , con copertina instagrammata fai-da-te e tracklist. Insomma, è un piccolo nastrone per augurarvi buone vacanze. Quindi, sì, buone vacanze. 1) Sonny And The Sunsets - I Wanna Do It 2) [...]

Tagged by some as the love child of a Beach Boys and Vampire Weekend musical DNA blend, Italian three-piece Karibean cavort in delectable male harmonies, vinyl smudged sonics, glee-filled surf-pop rumblings and hipster guitar licks that when pumped through speakers or earbuds, basically make you want to reside on some beachside malt shoppe with whoever you're going steady with for all eternity. To put it simply: their music is sheer indie-pop bliss, and it makes little sense why they aren't already being championed by every music blog around as The Greatest Thing Ever This Moment as their current [...]
Our Italian's a bit rusty/nonexistent, but Karibean seem to be from the east coast of da boot. Here's our favorite song from their Love, Tears, and Spiritual Blessing EP, all of which can be downloaded at their Bandcamp page.

Las disculpas por el retraso no bastaran. La situación fue que estas semanas tuve que dedicarme por completo a finalizar algunos asuntos en la universidad. Pero vamos, aunque con días de retraso, es hora de cumplir con aquel deber casi sagrado en el que se ha convertido MAP . La edición de este mes, se presenta particularmente especial, ya que cuenta con la participación de Iván Fajardo , vocalista de ERA, banda que inauguro las contribuciones de Perú en el Music Alliance Pact, en octubre del 2008. Por desgracia ERA [...]

It's that time again! The Music Alliance Pact is a collective of 36 blogs who choose a song by an artist from their home country and post the entire selection on each of our sites on the 15th of the month, which you can download for free individually (right-click on the song title) or in a compilation album via MediaFire. You won't find a more eclectic mixtape anywhere. This month I've picked SONG OF RETURN to represent Scotland. Trajectory will be familiar to anyone who has [...]
SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Humming Kitten - Monochrome Little is known of Humming Kitten, and we get the impression they'd like to keep it that way. It is a little disconcerting at first, approaching this musical project without any preconceived ideas of who or what the band members are, and appreciating their musical ideas purely at face value and on first impressions. However, once you soak it all in, you might feel [...]

Conoscevo già il nome di Enrico Carletti per via delle serate mensili Cosmic Love , appuntamento che tra dj set e ottimi live movimenta un bel po' le notti della costa adriatica meno scontata. Quando però qualche giorno fa mi ha spedito un link di Bandcamp lì per lì non avevo capito che avesse anche un gruppo. E invece la sorpresa è stata grande. I Karibean rappresentano l'ennesima conferma che alcune delle cose più interessanti in Italia negli ultimi tempi stanno arrivando dalla nostra East Coast. L'ep Love, Tears & Spiritual Blessing [...]
