Nos acercamos a fin de año y como siempre, empieza a verse las diversas listas de lo mejor que pasó en este lustro. En esta oportunidad la reconocida revista inglesa New Musical Express ya publicó su lista con los 50 discos del 2012. Como suele suceder en esta clase de rankings hay faltantes y sobrantes. Atención que puede haber controversia. Entre el top 10 de este ranking se encuentran Jack White y su debut solista [...]

A gig at Monegros Desert Festival in Spain influences Compuphonic's SP mix.
There's no season more intriguing than fall. The way brittle leaves dance on the pavement, varying colors paint the sky, and brisk, cool air cuts sharp - it's all so cozy and sensory-driven. Outside of the season's enticing facets - not to mention, its series of holidays - we're also ecstatic about the year's upcoming fourth quarter releases. Familiar faces, new talent, and long-awaited returns stockpile the next few months, which makes for exciting earbuds. Now, because there's so much on the way, we decided to handpick 25 of the more crucial releases hitting stores in the coming [...]
I had Friday off and ended up spending most of the day sanding down cabinets. They came out looking great; a natural light pine distressed with a hint of dark stain peeping through. Ultimately they will get two light coats of matte brown followed by white paint and distressed lightly. Yes. We are re-doing the kitchen. And I still had time to take a nice 25 mile bike ride through the countryside (hence this post's photo, taken just outside Rexville, WA). After the cabinet distressing will [...]
Twilight gets it right again. On the soundtrack at least. When New Moon announced their soundtrack of Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Sea Wolf etc we were pleasantly stunned. This was written off by some idiots (pitchfork) who didn't realize what a huge moment this was good music. The Jonas Brothers generation of teens was exposed to some really different music, and new artists. We should have praised Twilight more for taking this route. Now with this summer Eclipse the producers have assembled and equally impressive list of artists, and songs. Beck [...]
Goldest Egg If there's a rule that bands are supposed to mellow and get more introspective as they age, no one told Sunderland, England's Futureheads . After briefly making Newcastle the next epicentre of Brit-rock with their 2004 self-titled debut - Maximo Park and Field Music would emerge from the same scene - the quartet would release two more records of their distinctive, harmony-laden jerky New Wave with less success than their debut, some complaining that the breakneck rhythms and energy that made The Futureheads so infectious were [...]
1. The Antlers - Hospice The Antlers - Bear Brent: This album grew and grew over 2009 until it was pretty impossible for me to not put this at #1. I was positive I would have phoenix in this spot, but The Antlers hits me on a completely different level. It's not "fun" music but it is an album I can play over and over again, hearing new things. The piano roll on Atrophy always gets to [...]
You guys have waited pretty patiently for me to get off my lazy ass and get my best of 2009 lists out to you. I mean it's already 15 days into 2010, I need to get with it! So like I said in my #100-51 list , I didn't include singles that were released in 2009 that have 2010 album release dates (such as Vampire Weekend's Cousins) since I consider them 2010 releases! I did include artists like Local Natives however since I obsessed over them this year and their album did come out in the UK! [...]
Narrowing my list down to just ten was quite a task this year. But it was a problem I am grateful to have. With a year so heavily saturated with good new music, it has made it extremely difficult but tons of fun to come up with a list of my favorite albums of year, which I am happy to present to you today. 10. Regina Spektor - Far She can be a little kitschy but she is so [...]
While I thought the original video for the opening track of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, was fairly decent, I litterally fell in love with Sarah Newhouse’s take of the song. She basically mashed up several scenes of some 80s movies (The Breakfast Club, Footloose, Pretty In Pink, Mannequin) making it almost seems like the scenes were made with Lisztomania in mind and just waited for Phoenix to just release it … Natasha Khan videos always gave me the creeps, not as being afraid per se, but there’s always something odd [...]

If last year retrospective was called ‘ Laisse Moi Tranquille 2008 ’ since it was quite fitting considering the fact that I wanted nothing else from it, 2009 on the other hand was quite different, like I said in my previous post, it shared it’s own of ups and downs but the pace was more stable than 2008… leaving me time to breathe, which was a very good thing. Anyway, I’ve always found that making lists was a bit egotastic as everyone has different tastes and rarely you will find an universal list for anything, at least a [...]

While googling to find our readers the mp3 links for the Sirius XMU Top 41 of 2099 playlist, it struck me that all these songs have one thing in common. Almost all of these tracks are available via free + legal mp3 sites such as rcrdlbl , Pitchfork , The Fader , Prefix Mag , I Guess I'm Floating , etc. Record labels and upstart bands take note! If you want your new music to make a mark, make an mp3 easy to find and download. [...]
Come Metacritic anche AcclaimedMusic è un aggregatore di opinioni di alcune delle più importanti testate (o siti web) musicali a livello mondiale.

The end of 2009 draws closer, and so our Albums of the Year list is getting nearer to its conclusion. We're in the top 20 now where it all gets quite interesting. These are the albums that will really be remembered, by me at least, for some years to come. Read on: 20: Future Of The Left - Travels With Myself And Another Until this year I'd always found Welsh-rockers Future Of The Left a bit too in your face and scattered. But there was so [...]
