Hace unas semanas hablamos en Cuchara Sónica de la firme conexión que ha existido siempre entre las drogas y la música , especialmente en los años 60, cuando nació el rock psicodélico. Repasamos algunas canciones de grupos como Jefferson Airplane, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Birds y Black Sabbath, pero muchas otras no entraron en esta primera selección de canciones alucinógenas. Repasando vuestras sugerencias, hemos visto que la mayoría coincidían con temas que también habíamos pensado para el anterior artículo. Por eso, vamos a intentar aportar alguna que otra canción más relacionada con el mundo [...]

As we stretch into another week of high temperatures in triple digits, thinking is a challenge. (it's easy to be distracted by the bead of sweat rolling down my nose) So, it’s time to pull up an old Billboard magazine Hot 100 chart and note the songs that debuted that week and, today, it's 1983. As the 4th of July hullaballoo was fading in the rear view of 1983, I was getting back to summer life as a kid in one of the last responsibility-free summers I would have. And that [...]
Un bel progetto, che porta la firma di due artisti magari non notissimi al grande pubblico, ma sempre capaci di ottime canzoni: Roberto Angelini e Pier Cortese , due cantautori della scena romana si sono messi insieme ed hanno creato " Discoverland", una interessante rilettura di successi della musica internazionale. Un progetto a scopo benefico fra l'altro, il cui totale ricavato sarà devoluto ai progetti per l’infanzia in difficoltà in Kenya sostenuti dall Amref. Non un semplice disco di cover: un disco in cui dentro ogni cover ce n'è un'altra. Versioni della stessa canzone mescolate insieme. [...]
Rory Gallagher - Notes from San Francisco When Rory Gallagher died from complications following a liver transplant in 1995 at only 47 years old, the music world lost one of its most influential and respected guitarists. Hendrix rated Gallagher as one of the best guitarists in the world and many others like Brian May, Eric Clapton, and The Edge cite him as an influence. This posthumous two CD release from the Irish guitarist archives features a studio album of previously unreleased material recorded in 1977 which finds Rory in fine form [...]

A original member of the Wailers, Peter Tosh was easily one of the baddest dudes to ever roam the earth. A true revolutionist who took Reggae music's rebellious message to a whole new level. Tosh helped take Reggae to an international level with the help of the Rolling Stones, whom he frequently toured with. While most associate Reggae as laid back "stoner" music, Tosh definitely brought a sinister vibe to the genre and his militant stance against injustice led to his demise and eventual assassination, damn just realized almost every great Reggae artist passed way earlier than they should have.

The estate of the groundbreaking reggae artist announced on Tuesday, Aug. 9, that it will be launching a series of partnerships with Amnesty International and Greenpeace.

These discs tell brilliantly the story of Tosh's first two utterly essential albums, from the struggle of Legalize It to the bursting creativity and anger of Equal Rights . When Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Bob Marley parted ways in 1973, you'd think that the end of such a fruitful and tight bond between players would have had a negative effect. Instead, Bunny Wailer put out the lush and excellent Blackheart Man and Marley hit the Top 10 in the U.S. with Rastaman Vibration. It was Tosh, though, whose work would prove most vital after his [...]
