EPIC!

27 Jun

Hace tiempo no escribo un post. Lo sé. He estado ocupado en diligencias, hot dates, basura y más basura de la universidad, muriéndome de calor, apostando, gastando dinero en porquerías, leyendo, escuchando Michael Jackson y ensayando con una banda nueva que se llama Similar. Fuck yes! La vida de rock star está cada vez más cerca, lo siento en el aire.

100 Words or less, part three

23 Jun

Yes, yes! I took a long time writing these. Just so you know, I have been planning the next weeks, so more reviews will be up sooner than later. Besides the main reviews, i’ll be introducing “50 words or less”, which will focus exclusively on capsule reviews of albums I may have missed along the way.

Along with these, i’ve got quite a few coming out next week, including a battle of the classic guitar bands between Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth, the weirdness that abounds Sunset Rubdown’s new one, and an exclusive review of Idlewild’s pre release for fans “Post Electric Blues”, plus many more.

Just one more: Nirvana

15 Jun

Though Nirvana has been turned into the era defining phenomenon that Kurt Cobain would probably vomit over, you can’t help but really wonder what was coming next from this band. The thing is that there was no problem with Nirvana the band, the problem was with the mass hysteria, the psycho fans, the posers calling it god’s music and record execs wanting to milk the cow for all it was worth.

Just one more: Soundgarden

15 Jun

Out of all the bands I could think of that I would love one more album from, topping the list would definitely be Soundgarden. Yes I am a child of the 90′s and no I will not apologize for it. I wear plaid and I wear it proud and when I look at my musical collection, Soundgarden definitely stands out from other bands because few groups got that much better from album to album than Soundgarden.

Just one more

15 Jun

There are some bands that meet an early demise. Could be drug use, a death or maybe everyone in the band just hated each other. What is an undeniable truth is that most times, people are left wanting at least one final album from the band. These people created music that influenced your life but their run was cut short, or maybe it just felt short, because three albums for us can be eight years for a band.

If I take time to think about all the bands I wish I could have had one more go with, well the list would be long as hell… so why not write about it. So consider this a would be post series of bands I wish I could have gotten one more for the road.

Leak Review: Rancid

6 Jun

rancid
Me voy a adelantar a Ruben que lo mas seguro también escriba un review de Rancid Let The Dominoes Fall. No he hablado con él sobre este disco pero se que le tiene mucha fé, que este puede ser el regreso de una banda ya clásica a su mejor forma. Yo no tenia tantas esperanzas pero si queria que sacaran un buen disco, algo que en realidad mostrara la calidad que tienen como musicos y la habilidad para innovar dentro del genero del punk.

Real men like it Deluxe

2 Jun

I’m not referring to lap dances, your favorite chicken sandwich or the motel room you frequent. This is about the Deluxe Edition box set for Ten. Seems as though diehard Pearl Jam fans are in store for one hell of a year and though I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, it took until today to finally get it together, sit down and put my thoughts into little jumbled letters in a sequence.

I’m gonna get some cuz I need it

2 Jun

Simply put: now is the best time to be a Pearl Jam fan. Between the deluxe edition I’ll be writing about soon and the upcoming album, I just can’t think of a better moment to be a Pearl Jam fan especially since I’ve been a fan since just about the time I turned 12. But as I said, that’s another post.
