It looks like Shakira needs a little more attention these days. In a bid for more eyes to be on her for a change, Shakira decided to share with everybody how she believes she was born with the ability to belly-dance: "For me, it was, and is, more of a natural thing. It's something that was practically given to me at birth, and for which I never had to train myself. These movements, they are inside me and I can call them back whenever I need them." How wonderful that is! We have a superhero among us! Now Shakira can [...]

The NYC-based Cinema 16 series--which screens silent, "art-house films" along with live accompaniment by various musicians, a la Lee Ranaldo's Text of Light--lands at Galapagos tomorrow night with... Continue reading "One Time Only These Are Powers Performance Tomorrow at Galapagos" >
Brooklyn's These Are Powers are at the frontier of noise rock, and yet call back to the earliest days of industrial--before its metal infusion.The trio's lyrics and jerky beats let go of every musical inhibition ever invented, creating an atmosphere that's slightly sexual and always uncomfortable. "Candyman" an unreleased track from the band. So, it sadly has no home on any TAPs album. However,
by charles lear I met up with four out of five members of Frogwell at Duff's on Marcy Ave. and talked with them while recording on my handy Zoom H2 digital recorder. Duff's is a Metal joint and portions of the captured conversation with these particular art/noise/experimentalists in the midst of crushingly loud macho strang and drung, might find their way into one of my own performances. I'm sure they would approve. [...]
Hey yall. As yall know, I spend most of my time on the internet, but sometimes I like to escape 2 a different reality by playing some video games. Decided to 'smoke a bowl of marijuana cigarettes' and unwind by playing this new chill game. Had to go on a 'mission.' Damn. This game seems 'mad violent.' Like stuff that they use to train terrorists/miscellaneous evil people in the world who do things like 'shoot up high schools/colleges/work places.' I wonder if it is good to have progressive games like this. [...]
ARGENTINA: Zonaindie Entre Ríos - Frontera Finally we get the chance to showcase this great indie-pop band from Buenos Aires on MAP.

Their first albums were recorded with Isol as the main singer, but since her departure in 2005 they've featured different guest vocalists live and in the studio. Frontera is a MAP-exclusive [...]
Okay it was over a week ago really, but I think I can be afforded some poetic license for the sake of an Indeep reference. The Internets Celebrities had been invited by Checkmate co-star Ben Popken to attend the first Consumerist meetup, show some of our videos and talk to the crowd. The event was indeed a " great success " as we definitely won over some new fans that night. Meanwhile, just outside the private room, Botanica bar was crawling with attractive marketing folk peddling their [...]

Penúltima edición del MAP de este año, esta vez con la participación de una banda que ya venía haciendo ruido desde hace tiempo. Nuestra historia rockera es larga y grande, es algo que quizá estábamos olvidando, pero aquí están Los Protones dándonos un boleto de ida y vuelta a nuestros inicios con un rock instrumental que se acopla perfectamente con más de una circunstancia que vivimos a diario, son garage, surf, o como quieras llamarlos con la esencia sesentera en sus venas. Próximos conciertos *20 nov 2009 22:00 Concierto pro fondos 2do [...]
Once more, here is November's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. No new MAP countries were added for this edition, so we're sitting solid at 34 countries. If you'd like to be considered, drop by the comments section with a link to your site and I'll [...]

Here for your pleasure then is the world's greatest monthly mixtape... SCOTLAND: [...]
