Neste ameno sábado, continuo o TOP TRACKS 40-2012, com mais 2 temas que vão ajudar ainda mais a aquecer o dia de hoje. Assim sendo, ponho os Dirty Projectors em 15º lugar com o fabuloso tema "Gun Has No Trigger", retirado também de um fabuloso álbum 'Swing Lo Magellan', álbum este que se encontra entre os 20 melhores de 2012, na minha opinião. Na posição #14 temos
I'm speaking to the Justice League of America. The U S of A, Hey you, Yes you in particular! When it comes to the judgement day and you're standing at the gates with your weaponry, You dead go down on one knee, Clasp your hands in prayer and start quoting me, 'Cos we say... Our father we've managed to contain the epidemic in one place, now, Let's hope they shoot themselves instead of others, Help to civilize the race now. We've trapped the cause of the plague, In the land of the free and the home of the brave. If [...]

Photos and words by Leslie Kalohi Well-dressed business folk and trendy youths made up the diverse Osaka crowd for UK’s Spiritualized at Umeda Club Quattro, many of whom arrived well before doors opened. An excited fan greeted frontman Jason Pierce by name as he took his seat on stage wearing sunglasses. It didn’t matter that Pierce did not respond, as he and the rest of his six-member band successfully delivered a solid evening of music filled with fuzzy layers and sonic textures. The completely attentive audience swayed along with eyes closed as each song [...]
Now it's that time to announce our 20 most played/obsessed about/loved records of the year. And in case you missed it yesterday, check out 13 albums that almost made this list in our Honorable Mentions. Happy #holidaze and thank you for ... Continue reading

Last week we started our "Best Songs of 20123 lists . There's no order to them. Why should there be? You should check them all out and decide for yourself. We'll be listing our favorites all month, and we've continued to do so in today's show. So, here's the playlist from today's My Old Kentucky Blog Radio on SIRIUS XMU , Channel 35! Tune in to channel 35 on either SIRIUS or XM at Noon ET or 12am ET/9pm PST each [...]
Our year end lists are wrapping up at this point, but we wouldn't be a legitimate music site without a list of the top songs from 2012. Personally, I feel like this list is a thousand times more difficult to compose than an albums list because we're dealing with close to 400-500 songs in the running. It's been a long process trying to narrow that iTunes playlist down to 100, and I know some incredible tunes from this year are missing, but we hope you enjoy. Ladies and gentlemen, follow the jump for the ATH version of top 2012 songs. [...]

Spiritualized, "Hey Jane"
Our friends over at NPR Music have made their list of Top 100 Songs for 2012 available for browsing and streaming over on their website. Featuring selections this year from a number of albums and artists covered here, including Spiritualized , Mala , and Wiley, it felt only right to share the link here.

An interesting project, continuing Cage's foundational relationships between environment and otherwise, on performance pieces. The group at Create Digital Music highlighted " WOW ," citing it as the most minimal record ever, during their brief synopsis of the release . ...a single, ultra-low-frequency pitch (hear it on YouTube below, provided you have some speakers or headphones with enough low-end response). WOW is, then, about where it’s played as much as what it is. WOW: One Album, One Really Low Sine Wave, Most Minimal Record Ever [via CDM] [...]

SPIRITUALIZED La Cigale (Paris) le 8 novembre 2012 par Marguerite Il y a des albums qui s’imposent à vous dès la première écoute pour ne plus vous lâcher. Sweet Heart, Sweet Light de Spiritualized est de ceux-la et est sans conteste mon meilleur album de 2012. Je ne pouvais donc pas rater le passage du groupe par la Cigale le 8 novembre dernier, [...]
Our friends over at Hardly Art have picked up a new artist that definitely adds more differentiation to their catalogue, Lost Animal . For me, this is unlike anything else on the label, with smoky vocals and carefully orchestrated songs being emphasized by various samples. It makes sense that the group has booked a few dates with Spiritualized . The song below comes across like an old Brit-pop crooner re-imagined to win over fans in the new world. If you enjoy what you hear, look for the band's album, [...]

A este par le fue de maravilla con su álbum debut, Shrines , y es que no es para menos. El disco incluye unos nuevos clásicos (como su primer sencillo, " Fineshrine ") que no podían pasar desapercibidos. Tal es el caso de " Lofticries ", el último corte de dicho material, para el cual reclutaron a AG Rojas como director; lo podrán recordar por haber dirigido el magnífico video para " Hey Jane " de Spiritualized. Otro golazo por parte de Purity Ring .

Kate Moross In all honesty, I intended to write up Jessie Ware's debut Devotion today whether or not it took the Mercury Prize last night or not - it went , as expected, to the heavily-favoured and bewilderingly dull Alt-J - I don't need the validation of a shadowy cabal of British music industry types to tell me what the best British (or Irish) album of the past year is. Not to say that I'm bestowing that title on Devotion myself, but with [...]

Ellis Haizlip interviews Imamu Amiri Baraka Mr. Soul! The Movie: A documentary film about the first "black Tonight Show." Before Oprah, before Arsenio, there was Mr. SOUL! ( Link , official website ) Hat tip to Wax Poetics for pointing the way!
Arqueó la punta de los pies para estirar su brazo por entre medio de los fármacos. Su infancia aún se ufanaba, sin éxito, en alcanzar el metro cincuenta de alto. Sobre las góndolas aledañas, se apilaban desodorantes y dentífricos, fijadores de cabello y algodones. Promediaba la década del ’70 a orillas del río Avon en la ciudad inglesa de Rugby, cuando el niño del relato en cuestión entró a una de las tantas sucursales de la histórica cadena de droguerías Boots , con el único fin de ayudar a su madre soltera con las compras semanales. Quiso el absurdo [...]
