I like to be ahead of the game. My journalistic instincts have been honed over the years to provide me with virtual antennae, picking up breaking stories almost before they happen. I love being the first person to know something. I cherish the responsibility of passing the knowledge on. And so it is with music. Discovering a new band for the first time delivers such a thrill, and sharing this music with friends not only earns peer kudos but (in my humble opinion) plays a vital role in the world of music. I [...]
Just a quick heads up about a nice offering from Modiba Publishing. They have online a 16-track sampler of music, ranging from West African and Iran to Brazil and New Orleans. You can download -- free! -- individual tracks or the complete album. One-click full album download at: www.modiba.net/pub The Swarm - Noble Society (Guyana, USA) Barap Barap [...]
So here we are. The end of 2006. *Ahem*. I think the year has been not quite as strong as past years, but there were some great albums released nevertheless. So take a gander -- see what you still remember from last year. GIDDY MOTORS - DO EASY At first glance, this music can seem as if it's standard metal, but for some reason it slipped through the cracks for me. Normally, I'm not really into "heavier" music such [...]
J'ai mal aux pieds, cela fait plusieurs kilomètres que je suis ces bandes de soiffards, les morceaux s'enchainent, les clameurs s'intensifient au fur et à mesure que le cortège rentre dans les artères de l'enfer. Je marche à présent sur mes os. La Baron Samedi, à n'en pas douter, c'est moi ce soir. Quelle idée de se placer juste à côté du cet inusable Tuba, les basses ricochent dans les rues
This music is hot . Really, this group is phenomenal. They play music that is strongly influenced by the New Orleans brass sound, but they are not a strict brass band. They also combine elements of hip-hop into their music, as one member not only drums, but raps as well. For me, the best hip-hop around has very musical beats. And how much more musical can you get than a live brass band? The band has such a great sound, even without the hip-hop component. Add that in, and you have something [...]
Suite et fin des sélections 2006 de la Blogothèque. Après ce dernier billet, le mp3blog revient dès ce lundi. MAN MAN - Six Demon Bag Un album tellement original et intriguant, pleins de trouvailles, de mélodies, de jeux de ch?urs, de chansons barrées et d'autres à chanter à tue-tête. Il est nécessaire d'y jeter une oreille. Six Demon Bag n'est pas un simple album, c'est un univers pop mêlé d'ambiances bastringues. Et dire que, déjà, en 2004, Man Man m'avait déjà intrigué. We are Man Man Ecouter Engrish Bwudd Un (...)
Comme chaque année, c'est avec frustration, crainte et appréhension que je livre ce qui semble constituer le haut de mon panier 2006. Frustration de devoir faire des choix parfois cruels ; crainte d'être peut-être passé à côté de l'essentiel (cet album estampillé 2006 mais pas encore écouté aujourd'hui) ; appréhension de devoir justifier ensuite une sélection pleine d'incertitudes. Il n'en reste pas moins une sélection d'albums que j'aime et qui, ensemble, constituent un assez bon reflet de ce qu'aura été une bonne (...)
Maybe its because its the last weekend of August and essentially the last of the Summer but I can't remember another weekend when there was so much going on. So tonight Troubled Minds have a party at 333 with Radioclit , Matthew WOWOW , TapeDeck , Adventure Playground (live) and a million other people - check the full line up on they're myspace . Adventure Playground are three dudes from LDN that make noisy guitar based electro hip hop punk. I fucking love them and you should defo cop these tunes but [...]
