Morkobot have a new album out, and this time it's heavy. Since we last met them, Lin, Lan and Len have stopped with the giant interstellar robot routine, and now they're some form of monstrous Mayan death god. Or maybe they're both at once, you never can tell. What we have here are a drummer and two bass players making sure that lumbering never sounded so good. There's some satisfyingly experimental psychedelic bludgeoning going on in Ultramorth , the opening track from Morbo . If this is what being smacked in the head [...]
Il corpo alieno MoRkObOt torna a farsi sentire sul Pianeta Terra nell'anno di disgrazia 2011 e lo fa nel modo più rude, furioso e compatto possibile, dando alle stampe "Morbo", opera monolitica e magmatica allo stesso tempo. L'ascoltatore tapino, cioè io, non può fare altro che infilare le cuffie migliori e lasciarsi atterrire da volumi e tiro disumani; come disumana è la musica forgiata dal trio delle meraviglie Lin , Lan e Len , nel mio immaginario sempre più simile ad un Marte tricefalo che picchia come un pazzo su due [...]
Do you like wonky, off-kilter and challenging instrumental metal? Do you have a penchant for the doom and the sludge? Do you enjoy Intronaut, Dysrhythmia, Coalesce and East of the Wall (shit, let's even through The Austerity Program in there for good measure)? Lady and gents, have I got something for you: Morkobot. The three [...]

I didn't do anything today, and I loved it. Actually, I didn't love it, because I woke up with one of the all-time worst hangovers I've ever experienced. Last night I was treated to the company of Jack, Ken and Katie. We decided -- after little deliberation -- to play a drinking game. You see, The Simpsons Movie was on television, and someone (I think it was Katie) decided on a simple set of rules. We had shot glasses and a spinner set up in front of us. Rule number one: whenever a main character (Bart, Homer, Lisa, [...]
roba fresca, roba opposta. Justin 'Dave' Hawkins, ex mastermind dei The Darkness torna con una nuova band Hot Leg che sembra la continuazione della prima, una mano sugli AC/DC e una sul culo, stessa attitudine cazzona e festaiola. Album in dirittura d'arrivo per i Morkobot dal titolo MoRtO ( o l'ordine tra maiuscole e minuscole è il contrario, poco importa). Casco spaziale allacciato e luci accese anche di giorno (cit.) che là sotto è sempre buio.
Are your brackets busted? This was the first year since I was a wee little one that I neglected to fill out an NCAA tournament bracket in advance. March Madness is only marginally interesting when there are no dramatic storylines or Cinderella teams. Two one-seeds and two two-seeds in the Final Four is about as captivating as the Patriots making the Super Bowl. With all this (one paragraph of) sports talk, I've probably lost my entire Sunday evening audience of sexually ambiguous, mildly anorexic, ironic-shirt-wearing, antisocial music snobs. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With [...]
