![Morakestra – Witness To Connection [Mix Tape Monday]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2553946_lg.jpg)
El Paso brothers David and Will Mora formed Morakestra and released this album sometime last year and I happened to come across it recently. They have a great knack for some very catchy and hooky riffs in there, and some good pop-oriented jams to roll to. It's not hard rock, but it is something good to bop your head to. Check these guys out here below. Morakestra - Angels - From Witness To Connection ( CD , MP3 , iTunes ) [...]

Motor's new single 'Kick it' out now, is posted here in the Sick Boy remix, which gives a good showing, plenty of driving white noise, hard synths and awesome basslines.

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that most of my "weekly" features never make it past the first or second week, but I'm gonna try and start up a new one and see how it flies. I get literally tons of mp3's and videos sent to my inbox daily, and more often than not, these end up staying there, locked away in solitary confinement. So, I figure that what I'll start to do is set aside a day a week to limit my usual bla bla, keeping the commentary brief as I share some of these findings with you [...]

++This isn't related to music, but I just saw an ad for Effen Vodka on The Onion today with the tagline "Effen Rocks." Gimmick? No, turns out that 'Effen' is an actual Dutch slang word for smooth or even. All sorts of interesting news in today's inbox: ++From December 11-17th, select theaters will present Larger Than Life in 3D , a film starring The Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper/Relentless 7 and [...]
Nothing qualifies the sound and essence of Morakestra more than El Paso. Founders and key creative minds David and Will Mora are twin brothers who were proudly born and raised in the West Texas border city. Fellow El Pasoan Jim Ward contributed to the rebirth of Morakestra via production and recording of the band's latest album, Witness to Connection, out June 2nd on indie label Stratking Records. A musical legend in El Paso, Ward founded post-hardcore innovators At the Drive-In, rock quintet Sparta and alt-country act Sleepercar. Witness to Connection is the first for Ward's new producing partnership [...]

It's baaaack. After missing last week, TEN TRACKS YOU NEED has returned with a slightly larger expanded edition with all sorts of stuff attached to it. If you're wondering where this post was last week, quite honestly there just wasn't enough material to do any sort of post with, so rather than doing TWO TRACKS YOU NEED, I figured I'd wait. Anyway, there's enough stuff on here to keep you busy for like an hour or so. And nothing says Friday better than sitting at work and downloading/watching/listening to stuff you shouldn't be! So get to it. [...]
