Debe ser la ominosidad de los tiempos que se vienen, pero de veras que qué ganas de fiesta nos dan por estas fechas. A los niños no les queda más remedio que fumarse un camello o atragantarse de diversas bebidas para soportar el placer. Al final solo quedan sonidos, vibraciones, recuerdos, quizá algun ligue y polvo, mucho polvo. El censo “clubber” no acaba de tener el encéfalo de un Hegel pero a la prensa les da por rebuznar tanto sobre el estigma de “lo psicotrópico” que ponen a los dancers a la altura intelectual de un Chomsky. Les confirmo que el cuenco de vitriolo no es un arma precisa. Palabra de una conciencia y venas limpias, a mí solo me gusta ver como parpadean las luces.
Moviendo el tema unos grados, el día de hoy les ofrezco unas joyas de retachas de cosmic y house minimalista (no me explico como este año me han salido tantas adicciones a los sintetizadores y a los bpm) que me han hecho las últimas noches insoportablemente deliciosas. Disfruten su fin de semana.

If you like a mix of wurlitzer in psychedelic indie rock, you probably know Rogue Wave and their drummer Pat. Well time to spread the words, donate, or attend their San Francisco concert, they are doing a benefit because Pat need a second liver transplant. (boo to insurance company)
Their last album “Descended Like Vultures” is a mix of up tempo power pop with light texture here and there. Think happy California sun. They are afterall from SF. … etc. go click some stuff already.
- The Benefit Concert : September 30th 2006, San Francisco.
- for more information and donation go Rouge Wave webpage.
Rogue Wave - Every Moment
Rogue Wave - 10:1
Rogue Wave - Endless Shovel
Rogue Wave - Publish My Love

There’s something about the female figure that has this special je ne sais quoi….

So here are a couple of songs of women I find irresistably sensual.

It’s 1:13 pm. I just woke up and I could use a warm bath and a cup of coffee (someone is taking care of this futile demands of mine while I’m writing this). In the meanwhile, I leave you with 6 artists I found this week that balance their sound between indie, pop and electronic + a song from Charlotte Gainsbourg’s new record that was written by french duo, Air and a Looper remix by Pulp that’s a bit old (1999) but I feel it fits well within the context of the post (check out the shoegaze influence on the intro and the unmistakeable Pulp touch on the last minute of the song). All of them come highly recommended. For more info on each one and additional mp3’s please click on band link.
Kama Aina - hotaru
Andrea Liuzza - elephant serenade
Detektivbyrån - dansbanan
Artisan - I hold my breath (amether remix)
Charlotte Gainsbourg - the song that we sing
Fontan - beautiful bastards
Looper - up a tree (pulp remix)
Samuraj cities - saturday is never fair to everyone
