UNA DE COVERS


Moka ha tenido el magnifico detallazo de dejarme participar en este blog. Para empezar me voy a presentar.
9 de cada 10 dentistas recomiendas chicles sin azucar, pues yo soy como el hijodeputa (con perdón) que los recomienda con azucar. Asi que empezaré recomendandoos unas covers que en algunos casos superan a los originales.

javier alvarez - aserejé
be my guest - highway to hell
Devo - I Can’t Get No
ass trio - caravan
fanfarre ciocarlia - bond
Mardi Grass.BB - Zen Rodeo -Kung Fu Fighting
Gotan_Project - Paris_Texas

Y como extra os invito a ver una cover gesticulada y lo que puede denominarse como una variación del Gay Bar de los Peaches, a cargo del cantautor protesta de la temporada.

Dodge has gone cover-frenzy over at my old kentucky blog and has uploaded a good amount of nice versions for songs like “there is a light that never goes out” by the smiths and “god only knows” by the beach boys, among others (specially check out the 34 covers of “love will tear us apart” by joy division, one of my favorite all time songs).

Take your medicine published yesterday one of the most entertaining mp3 blog round-ups I’ve read, Impifree bloggus anthropological study. I wish I had the time to write something like this.

I’m proud to announce that Berberecho has joined our team. For those of you not akin to his name, berberecho lives in Spain, he’s 28 years old and he happens to be a very talented designer who has mastered the work of collage and digital manipulation winning several awards each year under film production companies “berberecho productions” and “requetechunai pictures”. He’s also guitarrist of the legendary spanish rock-funk band “La familia rustika“.

Summer List No.5 (Lazy Saturday edition)

I am not sure where everybody is, but I’ll post an update for lazy saturday. It’s for that breezy saturday late afternoon after eating one too many tatter tots and your brain just shuts down and refuses to do anything else beside breathing and sun bath in the back yard. Here is the soundtrack list. Slightly rustic, vaguely unseasonal, neither here nor there, cheerfull and above all…… day time mellowness. It’s reverse waking up list…. enjoy life peeps, before it gets really hot.

01. Es - Kaikkeunen
02. More Dogs - March to the Scaffold
03. Amadou & Mariam - Sénégal Fast Food
04. Pieta Brown - #807
05. Voice of the Seven Woods - An Hour Before Dawn

Juana Molina’s fourth full lenght since the appealing “tres cosas” will be released worlwide on June 6th. Molina is one of the most talented manipulators of organic and electronic music today and her unique vision of argentinian folk backed up by an ominous electronic discourse continues alive and breathing on Son. She will be hitting road in North America in June with Jose Gonzales and Psapp. For information on tour dates please visit her label, domino records or her website.
