Hoy me siento muy feliz, supongo que habrá influido en mi estado anímico que la seleccion española de fútbol haya conseguido su pase a los octavos de final de la copa del mundo (muy rácanamente, dicho sea de paso). En cualquier caso, ahí estamos, y mucho me temo que llegaremos lejos, tiempo al tiempo... Y para los que no entendemos la vida sin música, ésta debe adaptarse a nuestra situación emocional en cada momento, así que apartamos momentaneamente los sonidos suaves, la canciones melódicas e intimistas para dar paso a ritmos frenéticos [...]

Slim pickins for lifting those post-holiday blues. Friday is almost a complete wash and Philly is completely barren the entire weekend. At least DC is giving us something to look forward to.

With We Prefer Not To... , MakeUpBreakUp dishes out six cuts of low key electronic pop suitable for lazy dance floors and, well, cleaning your room or something. What I mean by that is every time I attempted an active listen I found myself suddenly occupied with other activities while the album droned on in the background. This is a major flaw for me. Granted, music can have different purposes for different situations (driving, sleeping, ritual sacrifice, making an unborn fetus more intelligent, et al.), but music should also certainly be engaging when given your direct attention.

On September 9th, Boston's Mr. Lif will release the first single and title track for his latest album I Heard it Today (Bloodbot Tactical Enterprises, Jan. 20th, 2009). Lif, one of the most powerful and insightful political rappers of his generation, has a unique plan for this album. He will write and release 1-2 songs every three weeks until Election Day (November 4), following which he'll release one more single based on his post electoral thoughts. Bloodbot is Lif's new label, and production on the various tracks will come from Edan, J Zone, Illmind, and others. [...]

As you can see with this week's Graboid, there are a lot of great releases out there to spend your hard-earned cash on. Seriously, I don't even know where to start with this list. A few releases that I can definitely recommend include Ra Ra Riot's The Rhumb (really dig this one - so happy for these guys), Jaguar Love's Take Me To The Sea, Lykke Li's Youth Novels (finally gets its US release) and Stereolab's Chemical Chords. I really had high hopes for The Stills' third album, Oceans Will Rise - thinking they would make [...]
