I'm slowly getting out of the funk I was talking about before. Today I was in the mood for new stuff, so I listened to a lot of new releases (good, bad and in-between). I also found some older - but really nice and unknown to me - bands that I shall look into in the future. For now, thanks to my brother, I have this new obsession. I was really missing the feeling of love at first hearing. The whole album is really good, but this song's killing me. Lovely artwork, too. [...]

*bunătăţi de sub copertă* Sunt trupe care pur și simplu trec neobservate. Iar de unele e chiar mare păcat. Pe Eksi Ekso i-am găsit intr-o noapte, când am decis să-i ascult pentru că mă amuza numele, dar mai ales pentru că-mi plăcea coperta. Am găsit un album în principal post-rock, dar unul ceva mai special; cu un amestec de instrumente excelente, și o voce pe măsură din când în când. Am mai menționat albumul I Am Your Bastard Wings [...]
So apocalyptic, yet so beautiful! And the ambulance men said "There's nowhere to flee for your life" So we stay inside, And we'll sleep until the world of man is paralysed. ( Rooks by Shearwater ) Filed under: cherry treats , musics
I think this is the beginning of a huge crush Tell me I'm ugly But tell me you love me Tell me you cannot go through this world without me ( Weak by Asaf Avidan & The Mojos ) Filed under: cherry treats , musics , video
As some friends said, this is how the love-child resulted from a Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and Patti Smith threesome would sound like Love at first listening! She peeled his skin away, so every day he'd cry And in those tears he'd lie to find some peace She broke from all his words, but she was made of mercury, She'd come together later piece by piece ( Maybe [...]

I've got three hearts, and one's all mine. In it, I can loose all sense of time. It's filled with paper dolls, and parasols, and notes in crumpled balls I left behind for you to find. Keep out, it says upon the wooden sign. ( Octopus by 2 Foot Yard ) big thanks for this musical discovery to lanternativa photo by Frederika Posted in cherry treats, moods, musics
A few days ago I was browsing through my music folder and came across this band I haven't listened to in about a year, but I could vividly recall I liked. They're called Eksi Ekso , and I haven't been able to take their album - I Am Your Bastard Wings - out of my playlist ever since. Post-rock/experimental at its best. With a really nice artwork ( Mavri [...]
Cum m-am obişnuit deja, postul de faţă fiind al treilea de acest gen ( 2007 | 2008 ), sfârşitul de an mă stimulează să trag linie şi să fac măcar un top de moment. Am ascultat multe albume, unele nu mi-o plăcut deloc, altele mi-o fost total indiferente, de altele m-am îndrăgostit. Unele trupe m-o dezamagit complet (despre asta probabil o să pun un post separat), altele m-o surprins deosebit de plăcut. Aici sunt cele 50 de albume lansate şi ascultate anul ăsta; în ordinea descrescătoare a preferinţelor. Mă repet, ca în fiecare an, e un top [...]
Apologies this is coming in so late. Blame the weather. Last year sucked. Thankfully, the music didn't. Our picks were all over the map for the most part, but are winners are clear. Here's what we liked, graded with a weighted system of points. We're breaking our picks into two posts. This post is the second half of our list. the top half will be posted later. Album names are buy links. Please
Ultimele zile din 2008 şi primele din 2009 o fost pline de evenimente mărunte pentru mine – între care cel mai important fiind revederea cu frate-mio pentru 2 saptamani, după 3 luni jumate – de azi lucrurile intră în normal, aşa că m-am hotărât şi eu să adun să scad, să ascult, să ordonez, şi să fac iar topu ăla – top 50 albume preferate ale lui 2008. Am ascultat mult mai multe, mi-o păcut mai multe, mi-o mai rămas de ascultat, şi îs convinsă că o să mai tot dau de albume [...]
2008 was not only a year of comebacks but a year when, contrary to the declining viability of the music industry as a means by which to make an above average living, new artists emerged and those waiting in the wings made their debut. and nkotb have been gone so long they count as a new act in my book. these are my favourites of 2008. download 2008 newcomers candy hill - head gone don't know much about [...]
despite declining sales, labels continued to throw money and effort into album promotion instead of finding new and creative ways to make money from music. which is now basically free, let's face it. i enjoyed these the most of all the comebacks last year. download the comebacks of 2008 anthony hamilton - the day we met consistent and underrated, anthony hamilton's new album 'the point of it all' is a little more punchy, i think, than his previous efforts. it's worth seeking [...]
He can't not be. After releasing two great albums last year: a Procupine Tree and a Blackfield , other two this year: No-Man and Bass Communion , he still has ideas for his solo project, Insurgentes . I've only listened to Insurgentes 3 times so far but I'm already hooked and I'm sure it's gonna end up to be one of the best albums of the year in my personal top. The title track - Insurgentes - is absolutely [...]
This is definitely one of the best songs this year has to offer. I still surprised by the album Goldfrapp released. It's so different, so naive, sincere and beautiful. Favourite track, for sure, Eat Yourself
Deşi ştiu că există - cam ca în orice gen de muzică - şi hip hop mişto, tot timpu am o oarecare reticenţă când vine momentul să ascult astfel de trupe. În cazul de faţă nu am ştiut ce mă aşteaptă, pentru că Late Night Cinema , a celor de la Blue Sky Black Death , l-am luat pentru copertă. Ca şi în alte cazuri de care am mai scris pe aici, sub copertă am găsit ceva deosebit de mişto. Blue Sky [...]
In a few days, The Kora Records will be releasing Future Blues (For Me and You) , an album signed by The Piano Creeps . The Piano Creeps is the collaboration of Billy Coté , Mary Lorson and Kathy Ziegler , all with plenty of previous musical experience. The music tends to creep till it gets to your ears and settle there. With clean sounds, nothing complicated or too complex, beautiful female vocals and clear lyrics, the album got my attention [...]
Justin Vernon secluded himself in his father's cabin in Wisconsin for 4 months, after his former band found it's end. That was the place where For Emma, Forever Ago , Bon Iver 's debut album was born. Justin recorded the CD all by himself, with just some mics and some recording equipment. He then released it, and the album was so well received by the media and the critics that it was properly released this year, under a label and everything. The album is able to communicate such [...]
