Ho ho ho, assholes! With the Christmas holiday coming up this weekend and we're already two days deep up on the Hanukkah tip, it's very much time to drop the annual The Decibel Tolls Holiday Mixer . You know the deal - a carefully curated collection of skewed, brain-burning, monolithic Christmas gems that totally sleigh. Get it?! Sleigh? Slay? It's a homophone, you guys! Ugh... never mind. Tough crowd. Anyway, these yule-time canticles exalted on high can crush shopping malls and magically spike egg nog, true story. For this year's mixer, you'll recognize you'll recognize some jams from previous year's mixers, [...]
It's that time! Time to eat, drink, be merry and write some lists! If you've been following the Blog for a while, you'll have noticed that I approach the whole list-compiling thing with some trepidation but as the days move on, I get in to the spirit, and by the end, well… So, here goes: Seven Records I Should Own (and am a bit embarrassed that I don't) (yet…) In the past I think I've used this list to give a cursory [...]
16. Cam Deas – Quadtych 1 & 2 Vier stukken, verdeeld over 2 lp's, van de Engelse gitarist Cam Deas . Wanneer ik voor de zoveelste keer John Fahey en de Takoma style aanhaal, weten de meesten al in welke hoek je de muziek moet zoeken. Dat zou zijn talent tekort doen. Geïnspireerd door het improvisatiespel van Anthony Braxton en minimalisme zoekt hij de grenzen op van zijn gitaargeluid, zodat Quadtych (uitgebracht op zijn eigen label Present Time Exercises ) een moeilijk album genoemd mag worden. Zijn [...]
30- The Black Belles - The Black Belles Jack White acertou a mão. Suas pupilas do The Black Belles , que lançaram recentemente seu debut pela Third Man Records, são provavelmente a melhor aposta do workaholic ex-líder do The White Stripes . Sombrias e delicadas, com um toque de anos 60 ali, outro toque de sanfona aqui, a música feita pelas meninas possui um resultado bastante charmoso, representado com maestria por faixas como Wishing Well e Leave You With a Letter . O trabalho mais impecável [...]
Not sure of it's the credits from Emusic, the proliferation of end of year lists to peruse, or maybe just the season, but I have a load of great records buzzing around in my earphones just now… Moon Duo (Actually, "buzzing" really is the word for this lot. They like a fuzztone for sure. ) I was going to apply my generally haphazard levels of research (ie none) to this article but at the last minute had a quick look online, which is probably a good job. I'd been all set to [...]

![[105 - 91] 150 Tracks de 2011!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3917066_lg.jpg)
Poco a poco nos vamos metiendo en los puestos 'mas importantes' de este conteo aunque al final, cada uno de estos tracks tiene algo que los hace unicos y especiales dependiendo de los momentos en los que los hayan llegado a marcar asi que... No importa el numero en el que esten apareciendo sino ese valor que hayan tenido para algunos de ustedes durante el año aunque claro, esto tambien sirve por si no conocian a alguna banda pues tengan la dicha de conocerlos antes de que termine el año. En esta nueva entrega encontraran algunos fragmentos de debuts que [...]
Como lo venimos haciendo por estos días desde hace 2 años, les presentamos nuestro Mixtape "Bailable" para que puedan hacerse odiar un poco más durante la época decembrina. En esta oportunidad nos dimos el lujo de mandar al carajo todo lo que nos sonara medio eléctrico, porque al juzgar por lo leído en nuestras sucursales de "redes sociales" eso es lo que pulula en las ondas de Cortesía de la Casa . Hay que buscar algo de balance. Abrimos con ese clásico de Capsula , que al parecer nos estarán acompañando durante el mes [...]

woh Allow me to preface this list by noting the following: I don't really know what "psychedelic" means. According to the OED, the word translates literally as "soul-manifesting," which I suppose is another way of saying "mind altering," which I suppose is another way of saying "having to do with drugs." Regardless of the word's exact meaning, however, it's clear that a lot of excellent music can be properly described by it. You might think that most of this music was made in the 1960s, but, like cassette tapes and porkpie hats, psychedelia has been [...]

Another week, another taped bit of softcore nudity from the fuzzed-out cable channels. - Wooden Shjips - Crossing from Thrill Jockey Records on Vimeo. Wooden Shjips West is one of the great albums of the year, and this video for "Crossing" only makes me sadder that I bailed out on a free show by them last month. [...]
[photo courtesy of Robert Loerzel ] Last week in the underground Pink Floyd live music collector community, a recording surfaced for the first time in over 40 years. A 1967 performance of the original band with Syd Barrett in Stockholm was recorded by a local archivist and at long last reached collectors around the world. The proto-psychedelic music was groundbreaking in the mid-60s, but across four decades even this technologically-challenged recording is still fresh and exciting. The palpable energy of the songs and the ferocious nature of the improvisation is breathtaking. Its no wonder that [...]
Old Delhi. Walking distance to the Red Fort. This was just at the perimeter of the backstreet bazaar area, which is filled with vendors selling produce, books, medicines and more. The Red Fort. Designed by Shah Jahan in the 17th century, it served as residence for the Mughal emperors in the walled city of Old [...]
...and then, in an act of reverence, they took their melodies, their intervals between notes, their rhythmic variation and burnt them, a sanctified offering to the great god of fuzz. And listeners looked down upon their offering, so burnt that none might partake. They smiled, nodded, and even bobbed their heads when the occasional mood
As the temperature begins to drop and darkness overshadows light in Philly, we start to hideout in our caves in preparation for winter. Well, winter hasn't entrapped the city just yet so I suggest that you make it out to Kung Fu Necktie tonight, and warm up with some whiskey and blankets of reverb nestling you into one of our favorite cavernous watering holes. And don't worry. The music of Moon Women might seem frightening at first with their jagged guitar work accompanied by husky, ominous vocals, but fear not of the sounds in the night for the [...]
