Snoop Dogg ft. Soulja Boy: "Pronto" (video)

Dec 27, 2009, 7:42am soundsblog
Snoop Dogg Ft Soulja Boy - Pronto [Music Video]
Come intitolare il nuovo video di Snoop Dogg ft. Soulja Boy ? "La rivolta dei camerieri"? Mah, vedete voi! Ma ad essere sinceri, se proprio vogliamo dirla tutta, gli unici a dover intraprendere una sommossa devono essere i grandi dell'hip hop. Perchè? Beh: da un pò di tempo a questa parte il caro e vecchio Snoop sta avendo una "calata" fortissima infangando non solo il suo trascorso artistico ma anche il mondo del "bling bling". Le sue canzoni da divertenti, innovative, simpatiche e trascinanti stanno diventando insulse, senza pepe, scontate e ripetitive. Ed infatti le [...]

Pronto - "The Cheetah"

Sep 10, 2009, 9:52am Atlas and the Anchor
Pronto - "The Cheetah" The Cheetah is the second release of 2009 for Pronto, the side project of Mikael Jorgensen, instrumentalist for Wilco. Where All Is Golden was a snapshot of all things pop, The Cheetah is more of a historical experiment with musical technology. Mikael used outdated computer-based programming platforms such as MAX/MSP by Cycling '74 and vintage 80's synthesizers along with guitars and drums to create the ambient soundscapes that became the 12 songs on the album. Written and recorded between 2001 and 2003 and put on a shelf as Mikael has been busy [...]

The Cheetah (mp3), an instrumental lullaby from PRONTO (Wilco's Mikael Jorgensen and friends)

Aug 9, 2009, 3:37pm Luxury Wafers
The Cheetah (mp3), an instrumental lullaby from PRONTO (Wilco's Mikael Jorgensen and friends) The Cheetah [mp3] A dozen tracks snuggle in on this blurry, easy-going, instrumental release, The Cheetah (Contraphonic, 9/8/09), from PRONTO (the side project of Wilco keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen ). The Cheetah is a complete departure from PRONTO's earlier collection of more Wilco sounding, 70's rock-inspired sing-alongs on All Is Golden (Contraphonic, 3/09). Even though Marsella Rambla tiptoes near the tulips of Jean Michel Jarre 's neighbor's backyard and The Monster pulsates with [...]

Songs of the Day - 4/19/09

Apr 19, 2009, 8:55pm Indie Muse
Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a quick mix. I've been out for a bit, so I'm gonna give you the accelerated version. As I occasionally do, here's a little stream-of-consciousness mixtape of my recent musical findings. (On the go? Here's the entire mix as a ZIP file [zShare].) First, from a fantastic compilation a friend of mine picked up in Northampton, just a slice from what is one of the grooviest collections of funk I have ever heard. Get it. Dance.

The Local Weekend: Moz, Bloc Party and Much More The Ting Tings (via band's myspace) Guess it doesn't matter that half of the regional artists are in Texas or slowly making their way back home, because there are some absolutely stellar shows this weekend to check out. Loads of huge names, plus quite a few locals that you don't see much of. Friday The Ting Tings are at 9:30 Club for a sold out show (seems to be a lot of them recently). Along for the ride is [...]

Review Pronto All Is Golden today and always

Mar 12, 2009, 10:35pm Review Stalker
Review Pronto All Is Golden today and always The early description of 70's icons like Randy Newman, Jackson Browne and Glen Frey come to mind when listening to Pronto's debut All Is Golden . Under the analog edge is a indie band playing retro, sparse and working to let the core of the song bring it on home like a inspired yelling carpediem. No massive amounts of compression, comfortable sweaters, or studio trickery can fool the good song radar. The tracks are purposely sparse with just enough musical layers to keep it honest and golden. ha! In the middle of the record there is an [...]

Pronto Tours Local Freight & Service Elevators, Release New Album March 10th! Sorry couldn't resist the press photo being possibly the most staged band shot I have seen in months. That is not saying much, as I don't see that many "press" shots for this blog...I wonder why?? Well, all the Wilco lovers are looking to pick up the new "side project" of the uber indie band. That side project or stand alone project is "Pronto" and the new album is "All Is Golden" due out on March 10th. (I apologize right now for saying "side project", if this sounds like it takes away from what these guys are doing, [...]
