![The Present: World I See [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1457772_lg.jpg)
Written by Fense It begins with static, not quite white noise, maybe feedback. Gradually, decipherable sound fades in, but the original noise remains. Combined, "Heavens On Ice" is numbing, a drone blessed with the prickly icicles of a hazy winter morning fog. Then it morphs into... something... say, something along the lines of a less psychotic Wolf Eyes, but just as far out in space. There's a dichotomy here that must be relayed, two opposing sides at war. One is the light, the other is [...]
This month, The Bay Bridged proudly turns three years old, and with much to be thankful for, we've decided to throw a birthday celebration! We've asked three of our favorite local bands to join us for a great night of music celebrating the amazing Bay Area music community that inspires us as much today as when we started in January 2006. We'd be hard pressed to come up with a stronger lineup than these three bands, all of whom released some of the Bay Area's best albums of the past few years. Equally important, all three [...]
I'm back from visiting my family and I return with a new turntable. Despite the cripplingly small nature of our apartment, I still need to collect music in all of it's glorious analog and digital ways. Tapes, CDs, and vinyl all have their special place in my heart and now, NOW! I can transfer my record collection of new and old with the Audio Technica AT-LP2D USB Turntable . Thanks Mom! As we speak, Hototogisu & Burning Star Core's self titled collaboration on Yik Yak is making it's way from vinyl to iPod. Soon to [...]
From Yahoo.com: " Britney Spears has reportedly swapped the two choreographers who helped launch her recent comeback appearances for the director of Madonna's recent world tour.

I Did It Again series of live dates in 2000 and the Material Girl's Sticky & Sweet Tour. King replaces Wade Robson, who directed the star in her first major US tour in 1999, and Andre Fuentes, who choreographed for [...]

PRESENTE, ULISES HADJIS Independiente, Venezuela **** Rating: 81 By Carlos Reyes You know how I'm always referring to Lisandro Aristimuño or Juana Molina as maximalists, as opposed to most music journalists that see them as minimalistic personas, well Ulises Hadjis stands on a borderline between those artists maximizing their musical vision and those recurring to nominal ways to express themselves. These conditions would [...]

The Present is the new music project of NY producer Rusty Santos. And if this guy's connections to Panda Bear and Animal Collective don't make you interested in his music, his uncanny ear for sound should. The Present has everything that should turn off your average pop fan: experimentation, free improvisation, and a slew of other unpredictable elements. However, there's something overtly pleasant about the sonic casserole that Santos has concocted on this project's debut, World I See . There's no shortage of studio trickery on this album, and how they would recreate some of [...]
The Present -'World I See' (LoAF Recordings) * Sigh * I have really, really struggled with this album. I have now played this three times and I have to confess, I like it less and less with each listen. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy listening to challenging music. I enjoy the work of noise artists like Merzbow, Yellow Swans and of course, Wolf Eyes; albums this year from the likes of David Grubbs, Hair Police and Fuck Buttons have been challenging but they make for rewarding listens. This on the other hand, seems like [...]

A Milli. Yep. Baby gave his son a million dollars in cold hard cash for his born day last week. Of course, do the falling price of the American dollar, it turns out the Louis Vutton suitcase Baby delivered the money in is actually worth more.
Our latest Bay Bridged Presents event is without a doubt one of the biggest local shows we've seen occur this year, a triple CD release party for three of the Bay's most promising indie bands. The show is headlined by Tartufi , a duo who have captured widespread acclaim by building and deconstructing layers of guitars and vocals above tight frenetic drumming. Celebrating the release of Thread Productions' Dragon Slayers, Volume III compilation at this show, the band's upcoming CD, Nests of Waves and Wire , finds them further exploring an omnivorous sound palette, [...]
