motel de moka

Cancioncitas de ayer y hoy embarradas de sintetizadores coquetos que me gustan. Increiblemente, una de estas canciones me la ponian en clase de pilates (bueno, la puso la instructora en una clase de las tres a las que fui), a que no me adivinan cual.

Notita cultural: Black Devil es una de esas joyas perdidas de los 80 (1978 para ser exactos) y es un poco dificil de hallar su disco hoy en dia. Si les obsesionan los discos oscuros, la disquera Rephlex (de la cual Aphex Twin es duenio) lo vende en una edicion alterna a la original (quitaron algunos cortes y aumentaron unos remixes que nunca he oido pero me dicen que estan bastante buenos).

Jamas hubiera pensado que desarollaria tal gusto por Kraftwerk al grado de recomendarlos.

Architecture in Helsinki - one heavy february
Kraftwerk - we are the robots
Zongamin - tunnel music
Cut Copy - Saturdays
Black Devil - h friend
Todd Terje - eurodans
The Knife - heartbeats

El frances es, para mi, uno de los idiomas mas dulces y melodicos que he escuchado jamas… Sera por eso y por su gran calidad musical que la musica en frances es mi debilidad.

Mansfield Tya - Pour oublier
Serge Gainsbourg y Brigitte Bardot - Un jour comme un autre
Clothilde - 102, 103
Georges Moustaki - La Meteque

A bit less playful than past Kinky collections. It’s a rainy day in my city and I haven’t seen my lover as much as I’d want. I still feel these songs are sexy, though.

Barth - banana monday
Suzanne Vega - caramel
The Doors - the spy
Can - she brings the rain
Toots & the maytals - sit right down
Stevie Wonder - boogie on reggae woman

Painting by Modigliani, by the way, just so you’d know I have a poster with this painting in my room.

Ester Drang’s LP “Rocinate” was released today through Jade Tree. The cd was produced by Scott Solter (Spoon, mountain goats) and I feel the need to point at the record’s production because Solter did a great job working with this excellent post-shoegazer band. Oh, by the way, they were backing musicians for hipster’s favorite, Sufjan Stevens, during the Illinois sessions. More info from them at their space.

Ester Drang - valencia’s dying dream

Electric President’s self titled debut Lp set its release date today at the Morr Label. Organical electronic pop songs which are very enjoyable. They practically came from nowhere and now they’re labelmates of wordly known people like Lali Puna and Mum. Pretty Amazing. Oh and the two men on this band are only 21 and 23, I’m very very jealous yet proud. I guess this are the sort of things that happen when you create solid and honest music.

Electric president - insomnia
Electric president - good morning hypocryte

Micah P Hinson will be releasing an EP entitled “the baby and the satellite” later on June 6. The Ep was recorded prior to last year’s “and the gospel of progress” during Hinson’s lost period. Even further this year he will be releasing some new material, I’ll tell you later when I get some more information about this. Noir-country for fans of Will Oldham or Smog.

Micah P Hinson - the leading guy

Nest is a Los Angeles based five piece which delivers an elegant mix of trip hop’s ethereal ambience and rock’s sexual angst. Highlight from the band is Ayana Havis’ voice, her vocals are really seductive,reminds me a bit of Tracy Bonham but I guess that’s just me.
Romantic songs with the correct amount of lush instrumentation. Here’s a song for your enjoyment:

Nest - ultraviolet

Hey hey my my is a two man folk band from France which create simple folkie-pop masterpieces “too much space” for example, keeps on building and descending for a real nice effect, I just listened to this song a few hours ago while walking around my house and I really think this is good music for housewalks. They get extra points because they took their name from one of my favorite Neil Young songs. More songs at their space.

Hey hey my my - too much space

Cuatro canciones que han llenado espacios, dias y meses muy especiales en mi vida. Sin duda, cuatro de las canciones que mas me han hecho sentir :)
Dream Theater - Trought her eyes
Spock’s Beard - Wind at my Back
Mr Big - To be with you
Mr Big - Wild world
