La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
El sábado pasado tuvimos una pequeña celebración con motivo de our dear lad´s b-day ( @diegosynthetic ). Una noche muy divertida y perfecta musicalmente hablando, fuí FAN total del playlist de la nite. So, para este post dejaremos atras el "synthetic", quitando así los altos niveles de sintetizadores, beats y demás que nos acompañan frecuentemente en este blog, para darle más vida y presencia al "rocks"... Esperamos que este post pueda permanecer online y a nadie [...]
Tori Amos's holiday album, Midwinter Graces , is in stores tomorrow, as is the Pixies 17-disc Minotaur box set. Among the discs that have already been sent my way, I can definitely recommend Caroline Herring's Golden Apples of the Sun , Hyperstory's self-titled album , Loch Lomond's Night Bats , and Robyn Hitchcock's live album, I Often Dream of Trains in New York (CD & DVD) . Reissues this week [...]
074. Bebe. "Siempre me quedara" Pafuera Telarañas While most media and the general public grabbed on "Malo" for its furious socially-conscious topic, they forgot about this amazingly fragile song where Bebe literally turns herself into a mystical chantress. Her raspy voice has never sounded as beautiful and her lyrics peaked amazing heights. There's enough feeling here to spare out some tears and provoke wet dreams (ok, that sounded nasty, anything sounds dirty in front of such crystalline piece). CR [...]
click image to view artist in itunes Sounds like: Amadou and Mariam, Manu Chao, Bela Fleck, The Givers what's so good? Fool's Gold , a collective out of Los Angeles, let the groove be their guide on their eponymous debut. The music is thoroughly African in style and if I had heard the album without any other information I would have pegged them as a North African or maybe Middle Eastern group rather than a gaggle of white L.A. hipster types. While [...]

Pheugoo - Boom Bongo Pow [ mp3 ] Manu Chao - Bongo Bong Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow we are speechless... :D
100. Jumbo. "Cada vez que me voy" DD y Ponle Play After a compelling Restaurant and a jewel of a song titled "Fotografia", Jumbo's harmless music saw the light for the second time in one of the most conversational pop songs recently. Its self defining lyrics are warmly served by an almost effortless rock-pop accompaniment. In its most juvenile moment, Jumbo crafted a song as self-reflecting and fun as Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone." JSB [...]
Hoy hemos conocido que un juzgado ha condenado a dos empresas a pagar a Manu Chao 20.000€ y a su editorial 70.000€ de bellón por plagio usado en una sintonía de un anuncio . El juez ha considerado, que la sofisticada "Me gustan los aviones, me gustas tú" la habían "clavado" para realizar una campaña para el diario ADN (Grupo Planeta). Rumores dicen que hubo intento de acuerdo pero sin resultado, no sé si por no llegar a una cifra común o por la dignidad del autor protegiendo que su canción no sea utilizada para ampliar el [...]
The genre category world music i s often used to describe all the music produced outside northern Europe and the U.S. Bob Marley is the patron saint of world music--one of the few artists that has ever exported his unique brand of his nation's popular music to the U.S. and England. Manu Chao, while getting critical hosannas from Rolling Stone back in 2001, has achieved the merest fraction of Marley's popular acclaim. This album was a pretty killer blend of Spanish, French, hip hop, reggae and Beck, and for the most part this ungainly blend works on [...]
I had an OMG moment after I looked at last week's stats, I'm pretty amazed how many peeps stopped by. It's nice to know after laying off for so long that anyone would still be interested, it's extremely heartening - thanks to all of you! It's sure a lot easier updating knowing it's appreciated. Welcome to November, the month that starts the holiday cycle that ends with New Years Day in January. It can be the most hectic and stressful part of the year, no better time for good tunes to keep things running smooth - here's seven [...]
Qualche anno fa il successo dei Gogol Bordello è stato improvviso, ma certamente corposo: per un po' ce li siamo ritrovati ovunque (copertine, televisione, radio), ma stranamente nessuno di quegli strani individui che credono che la musica sia solo mercato ha pensato di buttare sulla piazza manciate di cloni della multietnica band newyorchese. Ora invece esordiscono quattro ragazzi, sempre da New York, e sembrano porsi proprio sulle tracce di Eugene Hütz e soci con l'unica ma importante differenza che il retrogusto etnico dei loro pezzi non è affatto zigano o balcanico, ma calorosamente latineggiante: allora il [...]
Que a pasado? Kings of Leon? buenisimo me dicen de muy buena fuente (thks my love) No mas Luz y Fuerza? Pues no hay varo Bastardos sin gloria? Me quedo con Pulp Fiction Cervantino? See [...]
Durante toda esta semana, Super 45 comenta lo mejor del ciclo "Armonías, música y audiovisual" del 16º Festival Internacional de Cine de Valdivia El francés Siegfried se ha convertido en un personaje en esta 16ª edición del Festival Internacional de Cine de Valdivia. Reconocible de inmediato por su look tipo Manu Chao, con el pelo largo y rubio sostenido por un turbante y su ropa de viajero errante, como una suerte de Arthur Rimbaud, tras internarse en el desierto. Su estilo de vida sale de lo común. Le Sig, como se hace apodar, [...]
Posteo dos discos de Rude Barriobeat, me encanto y por eso lo posteo. Aca un poquito de historia de este man: Luca Lombardo aka Rude es parte fundamental de la escena musical de Bologna. Nacido en 1964 en el seno de una familia de emigrantes sicilianos, Rude crece entre Alemania e Inglaterra y hoy vive en Italia, inmerso en la música desde 1984. En el año 2003 Rude colabora con Fermin Muguruza en el extraordinario álbum In-komunikazioa. En verano del mismo año se une a la gira italiana de Jai Alai Katumbi Express versionando el tema Mr Bobby de Manu [...]

I am thrilled to welcome Christopher "Evil Vince" May to Muzzle of Bees as a guest contributor. He has turned me on to countless artists in genres that I would never have gotten close to without his help. On top of that he's a photographer and world traveler. A couple times a month DJ Evil Vince will provide compilations of unearthed gems and classic favorites. First up is a compilation of Latin/Brazilian tunes. Enjoy.
