After a week away, it was nice to be back in the studio. This week I played several folk-related tunes, a few garage-based ones, and a small handful of indie pop tracks. With the amount of indie-folk I've played of late, I'm thinking we're in store for another dreamy mix and maybe even a garage rock mix in the near future. Andi and I have been on a DIY kick of late and a recent project has been homemade laundry detergent. With the three ingredients displayed in the photo above, along [...]
esto no pretende ser una lista de "lo mejor de 2011". necesitaría tres vidas para escuchar todo lo que se ha publicado este año, así que seguro me pierdo auténticas joyas. son cincuenta canciones presentadas en orden alfabético, escogidas de entre las que más me han gustado este año y que, como ocurre con las del resto del blog, están disponibles en la red en descarga legal y gratuita. pueden bajarse individualmente, pero yo recomiendo pillar las dos carpetas y escucharlas del tirón. ojalá las disfrutéis [...]

La historia de The Beets comienza en Nueva york, cuando se conocen Juan Wauters y Jose Garcia y deciden comenzar a tocar juntos. Poco después la banda se vería aumentada con la incorporación de un nuevo miembro, Matthew Volz, tras lo que comienzan a dar conciertos, actuando junto a bandas de la talla de Pavement, The Vivian Girls o The Mountain Goats. Tras un par de álbumes en el sello Captured Tracks, recientemente han publicado su tercer disco de larga duración, "Let The Poison Out", esta vez bajo el sello Hardly Art Records . Se [...]

100. Daniel Maloso - "Hijos de José" Monterrey DJ and self-proclaimed disco caveman Daniel Maloso stands on the ephemeral viaduct between a disco performer and a disco auteur. It's this stance of Maloso as a sort of middleman that makes him such an interesting (if circumstantial) character in dance music. Because, really, with all the artists moving away from the all-comprehensive and universal magnetism of the genre, when Daniel Maloso sighs that "we are all sons of José," we're back to family business all over again. - Reyes [...]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars Three years ago, back in 2008, The Beets began their garage-y, sporadic, and minimalist percussion rock up in New York. After a few years of scraping under the radar and keeping to punk scene of up north, The Beets have made their way into the eye of those previously unfamiliar with their lo-fi stylings. Although still lo-fi in nature, this band has come a long way from their original sound, which was muddied to the extent that it consumed the entirety [...]

Let The Poison Out, The Beets Hardly Art, USA Rating: 79 by Souad-Martin Saoudi The Beets could easily be described as just another innocent lo-fi act from New York, but this Jackson Heights band of outsiders manages to compose atypical tunes that create an inimitable and infectious slacker rock garage sound and a delirious washed out image. Their loose, laid-back approach has influences as broad as The Ramones (their self-proclaimed idols), The Beach Boys, Queen, Uruguayan cult band Chicos Electricos, and singer songwriter Eduardo [...]

Within the first few seconds of "You Don't Want Kids to Be Dead", it's clear that The Beets ' move to Hardly Art hasn't drastically changed their sound. The familiar guitar jangle established by the Ramones-loving New York band on their previous albums, Spit in the Face of People Who Don't Want to Be Cool and Stay Home , is fully intact, as is singer Juan Wauters' seemingly carefree lyrics. Let the Poison Out finds him sounding clearer than ever, while the music is a pleasing variation on the formula they've been working toward [...]

I almost killed the site. When I decided to take a week break from posting I didn't expect for such a long dark void to follow. I had become bored with posting mp3s on the site, I wanted to do something new but couldn't figure out what that would be. After a couple harsh words from blog contributor Jen Graciano, I soon realized how stupid it would have been to shut the site down. A few weeks later we had figured what direction we wanted to take the site and began the planning stages soon after. As [...]

For his latest project, Swarvy has taken a trip into the future. He's gone to the year 3011 to be exact, where he's still making left-field hip-hop for equally experimental MCs. At least, that's the vibe I'm getting across 3011 MC BEETS , a seven-track project featuring some rappers you'll want to take note of. Oh, and Swarvy's spitting on here, too. Ill. Hit the skip to purchase and stream the EP. Purchase: Swarvy - 3011 MC BEETS [Bandcamp]
