SYNTHETIC DIVISION
RE-UP
ORIGINAL POST: "martes 2 de octubre de 2007"
Una de las intenciones de mi blog es, por lo menos intentar que todo aquel que pase por aqui se sienta interesado en los variados discos que posteo, porque es NECESARIO que abramos nuestras cabezas duras a la cantidad inmensa de bandas nuevas que andan por ahi, y a todos los estilos musicales que son buenisimos y nadie les presta atencion por estar ensañados en un solo genero o pequeño grupo de bandas. NO, no les estoy diciendo que hacer o diciendoles que estan equivocados, solo descarguen, escuchen y opinen, luego si no les gustó: borrenlo, o mejor aun, piensen en alguien a quien le pueda gustar ese disco y pasenselo y asi, FUCK! podemos joder a todo ese maldito regueton y vallenato y pop mexicano... Esa es la razon principal por la que pongo los videitos, para que escuchen y vean y decidan si o no: DOWNLOAD THAT SHIT!!!



DOWNLOAD 84 fuckin' HERE

A partir de hoy se pueden ver los horarios de las presentaciones de las bandas que estarán en el Electric Festival el próximo 30 y 31 de mayo.

Iré "sólo" a la jornada del viernes, pongo 'sólo' entre comillas porque las bandas que veré ese día no tienen desperdicio:

+ Biffy Clyro
+ Millencolin
+ Serj Tankian(vocalista de System of a Down)
+ The Cavalera Conspiracy (Max e Iggor Cavalera!!!)
+ Iggy Pop & The Stooges
+ Offspring
+ Rage Against The Machine (la principal razón por la que iré)

...y para cerrar la noche con broche de oro:

+ Queens and the Stone Age, que ya los ví en febrero, pero no me importa repetir.

Más temprano tocarán Nothink y From First to Last. A los primeros no los he escuchado, y los segundos creo que son algo Emo, por lo tanto no me interesan.

Los horarios:

A las 0:25 de ese viernes/sábado, cuando Zack de la Rocha diga: "Good evening, we are Rage Against the Machine from Los Angeles, California", estaré cumpliendo uno de mis sueños:

Ay ay ay, eso será memorable.

Queria subir el 'I Don't Want To Grow Up' pero acabo de darme cuenta que lo perdi ... una pena. Pero este post no sera un reemplazo porque esta banda (donde militan los Descendents con otro vocalista) es similar, y este disco perfectamente podria haber estado firmado por los Descendents. Las tematicas amorosas y lios juveniles tambien se citan (tematica preferida de ambas agrupaciones), bañados con un punk-pop que solo a ellos se les perdona y le dan el status de 'clasicos' (aun siguen vigentes). Un lindo disco para terminar el jodido mes de Abril.

01 Pretty Little Girl
02 Hooidge
03 Sex In The Way
04 Alfredo's
05 Sugar And Spice
06 Allthymn
07 Just Perfect
08 Paper Tiger
09 Auto Wreck
10 #10 (Wet)
11 A Muse
12 Don Quixote

    Mucha gente dice que todo tiempo pasado es mejor, eso si viendo los lados positivos y luego de reflexiones. Yo naci el 87' y me hubiera gustado haber nacido antes para ver bandas de ese tiempo, (a lo mejor otro me cambia esa idea, debido al gobierno de Pinochet aqui en Chile y la dictadura), por ello armo mi propio pasaje recopilando cosas interesantes de aquella epoca. Pese a que no conozco Colombia y muchos me lo describen de manera bastante miserable (por los altos niveles de corrupcion e injusticia,segun me cuentan la gente de alla), aqui a base de compartir este tipo de trabajos, me arma el mapa de Latinoamerica en los 80 en la escena Under y Punk (a ello la importancia de los registros y rescate de estos).
    Hablando de este trabajo, a gusto personal me ha gustado bastante, Colombia tiene muy buenas bandas y sonidos muy puros y crudos (musical y liricamente). Con una voz gutural y sucia, escupe mensajes putrefactos refiriendose en su mayoria a la injusticia y lo cotidiano. Un gran trabajo y gracias a la gente de Colombia que me envia siempre cosas de por alla (su escena).

    01 Paz y Democracia
    02 Sindrome de La Ultima Decada
    03 Sin Nacionalidad
    04 Modulo X-21
    05 F.M.I. Asesino
    06 Violencia y Muerte
    07 Frente Pro-Inquisicion

    A pedido de Jenny (con insistencia incluida jejeje), subo este trabajo de esta banda colombiana con voz femenina. De Fertil Miseria en lo personal habia oido un par de temas solo por compilados y no les tome mucha atencion, pero gracias a un amigo que me facilito este disco y aqui lo subo. Es bueno, con beats muy punks y temas relativamente cortos. Recomiendo oirlo por etapas, al menos en lo personal me cuesta oir un disco tan largo, pero eso va segun la resistencia auditiva de cada uno. Pd: Quien tenga el EP 'Cadenas' se agradece compartirlo, sino, mueranse.

    Claramente Minor Threat nunca fue 'del rebaño' o del monton. Su mensaje e ideas fueron transgesoras frente a las mentes cerradas de la escena Punk de aquellos años (sin planearlo dieron paso a una ideologia a estas alturas, el 'Straight Edge'=Vida Sana). Este 12'' supuso un paso mas alla en lo musical, con mas matices y un Brian Baker (quien en anteriores trabajos toco bajo) pasando a la guitarra y demostrando su habilidad para depurar y arreglar los temas con su toque. Son un clasico y por desgracia no volveran, punto.

    .
    The Spanish Civil War has been referred to as the last noble cause, or the last heroic war. It's also been said that if the British and the Americans had bothered with Spain, they could have prevented World War Two. The war lasted from 1936 through 1939 and by the end Fransico Franco had overthrown the democratically elected government.
    The election prior to the outbreak of the war had seen a coalition government formed among moderate and socialist parties. The Republican government's goals were to reduce the power of the aristocracy and the Catholic Church and try to redress the economic disparity in the country.
    Needless to say that went over like the proverbial ton of bricks with those who were going to have to surrender their power. Calling themselves The Nationalists, they formed an army under the leadership of Francisco Franco to overthrow the Republican government. They were supplied with weapons, air support, tanks, and troops by the governments of Italy and Germany almost immediately.
    The Republicans received little or no official help from any government, save some assistance from the Soviet Union that was too little and too late. In some ways the Republican side was a typical venture of the left and centre in those, and even these days, where internal fights over power, took precedence over an enemy out to destroy you all. Soviet aid only became available after a faction acceptable to Moscow controlled a goodly portion of the doomed government.

    The Spanish Civil War was also notable for two other reasons. It was where the Nazis first put into effect their practice of targeting strictly civilian targets for the sake of the effect on morale. First Guernica, rendered forever immortal by Picasso, then Madrid suffered through bombings.
    The other was the fact that in spite of their own government's refusal to oppose Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco (until Hitler signed his infamous non-aggression pact with Stalin, he was actually seen as a bulwark against the Red hoards by far too many Western pundits) young men and women from around the world came to Spain on their own to fight for the Republican cause.
    The International Brigade was composed of German, American, Canadian, and others from across Europe who came to fight the fascists. The American soldiers served in what became known as the Lincoln Brigade and became part of the 15th International Brigade. Since their own governments had refused to aid the Republicans, and in some instances had tried their best to prevent people from doing so, it wasn't very surprising that the returning soldiers at the end of the war were ignored in their own countries.

    Some, like the Germans and the Italian, had to become refugees because they couldn't go home. When it became obvious that nothing was going to be done to honour their efforts, and in fact official policy has been to ignore the veterans of Spain almost entirely, Pete Seeger and the Almanac singers recorded seven songs that had been sung by the Lincoln Brigade while marching. In 1943 they were released as part of an album called "Songs Of The Lincoln Brigade".
    It has been next to impossible to find this and other music of the Spanish Civil War. But now thanks to a Spanish label, Discmedi, the songs and other music of the war have been released on a great CD called "Canciones De Las Brigadas Internacionales (Songs Of The International Brigade)".
    The first seven songs are the aforementioned tracks from "Songs Of The Lincoln Brigade", which have been beautifully digitally remastered so they sound great. The six songs following that were originally released in 1940, but had been recorded during the war. The German actor Ernst Busch, who was already living in exile from Hitler due to his politics, recorded six songs with a chorus of soldiers called "Six Songs For Democracy".
    They were recorded in the men's barracks so if you listen closely you can hear background noises of wartime activity. Again the sound is great, and it's really nice not to hear these songs like they're being sung to you via a sewer pipe. The only previous recording I had heard of them was so full of echoes it was almost impossible to hear what was being sung.

    Following these 13 tracks, the producers of the disc have gathered together some performances of these and other songs of the period by different performers as bonus tracks. Six of them are by Ernst Busch again and are Spanish versions of some of the songs that had been performed by Pete Seeger and The Almanac Singers on the "Songs Of The Lincoln Brigade" album. Again he has recorded them with soldiers serving during the war, and in fact this recording was interrupted by Franco's bombing of Barcelona. On occasion you can hear where a brown-out is occurring as the sound starts to fade away: life during wartime indeed.
    Ernst's voice may not be what a North American audience would expect from a musical theatre actor, but he had been working with Bertolt Brecht in Germany, and they had a different attitude towards what sound they wanted on stage. Brecht wasn't interested in pretty, or in polish; he wanted the audience to listen to the words being sung to them, not to just sit back and enjoy the music.
    After Busch, we have a brief visit from Woody Guthrie as he sings his version of "Jarama Valley". What's great about this song, as you will have noticed in The Almanac Singers' version earlier on the disc, is that the tune is "Red Rive Valley". The soldiers who wrote these songs had done what was fairly typical for the day, and just changed the lyrics of songs they were already familiar with to make them suit their needs.
    The last four songs on the disc are from what I consider two of the United States' finest treasures; The Weavers and Paul Robeson. Paul Robeson was a star football player, Broadway and Hollywood actor, and amazing singer. He was also Black and left wing, which in the 1940s and 50s meant he was considered a threat to society.
    He had his passport revoked by the American government so he could no longer do concert tours in Europe. This pretty much guaranteed the end of his singing career, as very few venues in the States would book anyone who was blacklisted by Joe McCarthy. But here we find him in full beautiful voice singing two of the songs he learned from the soldiers when he went to Spain during the War to lend his support to the cause. His version of "The Peat-Bog Soldiers" has to be one of the best I've ever heard.

    The last two songs included are by the Weavers. Somehow or other the Weavers were able to play the music of the Spanish Civil War during the 1950's in places like Carnegie Hall without people really twigging to what was going on. Included here are two of those songs; both were recorded in Carnegie Hall but one in the fifties and one in their reunion concert in the eighties.

    In Spain today the soldiers who fought in the International Brigade are still considered heroes of the country, in North America, where they came from, they've either been almost completely forgotten, and even worse some were treated like criminals by their own governments. Canciones De Las Brigades Internacionales is wonderful tribute to men who have been ignored for too long.

    Posteo este video sólo por su estética Steampunk, porque sinceramente esta canción no me va. Pero por si a alguien le interesa saber más sobre la banda, decir que son Victory Pill, grupo creado por Jim Davies (guitarrista de Prodigy y ex-Pitchshifter).

    Lo que realmente quiero resaltar es el trabajo de Sam Hayles, radicado en Francia, y todo un artista que se desempeña en distintas ramas, no sólo en lo audiovisual, sino tambien en todo lo que respecta al diseño gráfico. Ver para creer.

    The Soulbreaker Company - Granollers 19 Abril 2008


    Crónica
    Ya queda un poco arcaico eso de decir que "si tal banda fuese inglesa o americana pues verías como tendrían más éxito y/o venderían mucho más". No hay que darle vueltas a eso, The Soulbreaker Company son españoles y lo hacen mejor que muchas bandas extranjeras pero eso importa poco.... Gran concierto, gran banda y gran disco que defienden en directo. "The Pink Alchemist" es de lo mejor que se ha publicado a lo largo del año, sin lugar a dudas. En el concierto que dieron en Granollers para unas 200 personas sonaron muy conjuntados, bien engrasados y sin ningún tipo de inseguridad sobre el escenario. Todos los componentes estuvieron a la altura pero cabría mencionar de forma especial al cantante, Jony. La verdad es que me dejó bastante impresionado. Le sobra talento, voz y presencia escénica. Repasaron su nuevo disco y tocaron varios temas de su anterior (y primer) disco, "Hot Smoke & Heavy Blues". Sus nuevas canciones en directo suenan casi mejor que en disco y eso es mucho decir. Que nadie se los pierda si pasan por su ciudad y si es necesario el desplazamiento para asistir a un concierto suyo que nadie dude en realizarlo.....

    The Berkeley/East Bay scene is still going strong and growing. Fang keeps playing and getting better. Teenage Warning isn't from Berkeley, they're from Hayward, but they play here a lot and they're rad (no places to play in Hayward anyways). Rebels and Infidels are from Oakland. New bands: Deviants (check 'em out, they're good), Boneless Ones, and Kwik Way (from Oakland). Peace-punk bands are Atrocity, Treason and Trial. Deadly Reign and 13 have broken up and are missed.
    Lotsa punx coming over from the city to berkeley gigs since San Francisco's On Broadway closed down. Some fun outdoor gigs recently in Berkeley and San Francisco. Also punx putting on punk shows which is nice for bands and audience. Lotsa great out of town bands playing Berkeley too. OK, here's some good San Francisco bands you should know about if you don't already: Condemned to Death, Dicks, Breakouts, Sluglords, Unity Instigation and Barely Human.
    A word or two about us: this is our second release. Our tape "8 Songs to Kill By" was our first. Steve has replaced Erik on drums and we're tighter. We've been together since Ausust '83. Some people love us and some hate us. We hate and love some of them, too. It's all a matter of personal taste I guess.
    We were gonna write out our personal philosophies but when we did they looked kind of dumb, at least for this info sheet. If anyone wants to know, you could write us. You tell us yours and we'll tell you ours. Or... if you wanna trade scene reports, or you liked or hated this record, or you wanna send us sticker designs, or you want to get a copy of our old tape or some stickers, or you want us to play in or keep away from your town, then write us. We'll answer you. Sometimes we're slow about it but we will write back. OK, bye.

    This release is stunning rock and roll, from start to finish. Naked Raygun is slotted in the record stores with the hardcore punk/noise bands like Big Black, Fugazi, Einsteurzende Neubaten (the old stuff), Revco, Scratch Acid, Butthole Surfers and a ton of other bands that, frankly, do nothing for me. There are two artists in that section, though, that stand out from all the noise. The first is Husker Du, and the second is this band, Naked Raygun, which writes and plays rock and roll anthems like they were meant to be played. Go ahead, click on the free sample of Walk in Cold, track 3 and play it loud. Stunning.
    Since you've read this far I'll also make a brief pitch for one of the above reviewers, jvish. He has a four part "best of the 80s" list on Amazon which is higly recommended, and in fact I'm wondering if he is my lost twin brother since he has identified most of what I consider to be the best of the less well known music.

    Has it really been over a decade since this album was first released? Oh man, do I feel old. I was just finishing up my second college degree, and although you might think that would be a good time to grow up, get jaded and quit listening to hardcore, I didn't. I was lucky. How could anyone get jaded when bands like CAP CAS were just taking off? This band and this album made a huge impact on my life. It helped me realize there was a major resurgence of high octane hardcore happening. Power Violence, as it was about to be known, was the bait and I took it hook line and sinker. For me, and for many, "Disassembly Line" was, is, and will continue to be, a yardstick album� in other words it is a record that others will forever be compared to. You think your band has a great thrash record? Well how does it compare to "Disassembly Line"? Even after 10+ years this album manages to sound as pissed, as raging, and as furious as when it came out. The hardcore ante has been upped considerably since 1992 and yet this was so ahead of its time that even by today's standards it'll rip you a new one. If you don't own the original, get this. If you do own the original (I own it on CD, record and cassette) you still should get this. It's not unlike the early DRI albums. No matter how many versions are released, you should own them all. --- By: Jeb Branin

    Mind Funk nace a base de músicos de seattle y sus alrededores, formada por integrantes de diversas bandas como los son Uniform Choice, M.O.D y Celtic Frost. Para su formación estarían Pat Dunbar (vocales), Louis J. Svitekist (guitarra), Jason Coppola (segunda guitarra), John Monte (bajo) y Reed St. Mark (batería). Lanzan su primer álbum en 1991 el cuál llamó la atención por su diversa mezcla de sonidos por lo cuál tuvo una buena venta en tiendas locales. Para su segundo álbum la banda tuvo que tomarse un tiempo debido a la partida de dos de sus miembros, Reed St. Mark y Jason Coppola (batería y segunda guitarra respectivamente) quienes fueron reemplazados por el baterista Shawn Johnson y por el ex-guitarrista nirvana/ex-bajista soundgarden Jason Everman. Dejados por Epic para sus álbumes la banda toma parte en Megaforce Records, compaía con la cuál editan su segundo disco llamado irónicamente "Dropped" por lo sucedido con Epic Records. En 1995 la banda desaparece dejando su último álbum "People Who Fell From The Sky".

    Jim O'Rourke es un músico y productor estadounidense, asociado por largo tiempo a la escena experimental de Chicago. Conocido por tener gustos excéntricos y como un experto en música moderna experimental, O'Rourke ha lanzado discos de jazz, noise y rock. Ha colaborado con gente como Bobby Conn, Derek Bailey, Stereolab, Loren Mazzacame Connors, Nurse With Wound, Fennesz, Organum, Henry Kaiser, Flying Saucer Attack, y más recientemente produjo el álbum Ys de Joanna Newsom. Ha producido álbumes para artistas tan variados como John Fahey, Smog, Faust, Tony Conrad y Beth Orton. O'Rourke mezcló el álbum Yankee Hotel Foxtrot en el 2002, el disco más popular de Wilco a le fecha. El 2004 mezcló, para el mismo grupo, A Ghost is Born, que ganó un Grammy en la categoría "mejor álbum alternativo". Durante la grabación de Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, O'Rourke collaboró con Jeff Tweedy, integrante de Wilco, y con el veterano de la escena de Chicago Glenn Kotche, que luego se uniría a Wilco. Juntos lanzaron un disco bajo el nombre de Loose Fur, disco homónimo que fue lanzado el 2003. O'Rourke ha lanzado una larga lista de álbumes y ha sido miembro de Gastr Del Sol y de Red Crayola. Desde el 2000 ha tocado bajo y guitarra en Sonic Youth. Este es el segundo de sus discos "rockeros" tras el aclamado Eureka (1999) en el que deja de lado la experimentación más radical de otros trabajos y se ocupa de hacer canciones clásicas donde el pop y el rock se dan la mano, siempre con una calidad guitarrera excepcional y mucha imaginación. Discazo!

    Formed by 4 mates at the end of 95', 8°6 CREW first played OI! and SKA. Quickly joined by others musicians (keyboards & horns section) to make the ska compositions richer, they played some few gigs in 97' and released a 4 tracks demo tape (including 2 ska & 2 oi! songs) at the end of the year. Three of these tracks were on "HATE" compilation out in january 98 & 8°6 CREW started to play much more and appeared on several oi! and ska CD/tape compils. They decided to stop playing oi! music that year because they were now 10 musicians in the band & oi! was played by only 4 of them! Released in october 98 in Germany, their first album: BAD BAD REGGAE was out in february 99 on Mad butcher rcds. The album was sold out 6 months later & repressed; the band played much gigs & kept on doing compilations. The year 2000 was much more peaceful, 8°6 worked on some new songs & put out a 6 tracks CD"MENIL EXPRESS" in march 2001 + another repress of "BAD BAD REGGAE" on BIG 8 rcds...just to wait for a potential second album of the CREW !

    .
    The inclusion of Joan Baez's version of "Joe Hill" on the Woodstock album has been single-handedly responsible for keeping Joe Hill in the public consciousness.

    Sad but true, for Joe Hill, poet, songwriter, and organizer, was the most popular intentionally proletarian artist in American culture. Not an easy feat, especially considering how many people have tried to be popular proletarian artists.

    This album, named after Joe Hill's famous last words before he was executed by the State of Utah, is a testament to Hill's power as a musical and cultural figure. It also attempts to secure his place in our memory.

    The album consists of two elements, Hill songs performed by important interpreters and songs about Hill, again in historically important performances.

    Among the former, number Harry McClintock singing "The Preacher and the Slave," Pete Seeger doing "Casey Jones (The Union Scab)," and Cisco Houston's version of "The Tramp."

    The latter category contains the more varied and more interesting contributions. Among these are poet Kenneth Patchen's spoken word piece "Joe Hill Listens to the Praying," Billy Bragg singing Phil Ochs' "Joe Hill," and both Paul Robeson and Earl Robinson performing the Robinson-penned number Baez made her own, "Joe Hill," with its classic line, "I never died said he."

    Excellent as an album and as a cultural document, hopefully this album will not let us forget the important legacy, a sense of purpose, Joe Hill bequeathed to our culture.


    Biography of Joe Hill:

    Joe Hill was born Joel Emmanuel Haggland in Sweden, the ninth son of a railroad worker. His father died when Hill was eight years old, and he went to work in order to help support his mother and six siblings. When Hill's mother died in 1902, he emigrated to the United States. Until 1910 practically nothing is known of where Hill lived or what he did. It is known that he was in San Francisco during the 1906 earthquake, as Hill sent back an eyewitness account of the horror and devastation caused by this disaster to Sweden, where it was published in a local newspaper. Somewhere along the line he changed his name to "Joseph Hillstrom," possibly to avoid arrest. By the time Joe Hill finally surfaces in San Pedro, CA, in 1910, it is clear that he had been working a long time as a migrant laborer, and was on intimate terms with the suffering and misery experienced by the families of his fellow workers under the conditions of this era.

    In San Pedro, Hill joined the I.W.W. (International Workers of the World, or as popular slang had it, "the Wobblies"), a Chicago-based labor organization which set itself up as a worldwide advocate and agitator for the cause of worker's rights and the unionization of industries. Towards the end of 1910, Hill published a letter in the I.W.W.'s in-house publication International Worker, identifying himself as a member of the Portland, OR, chapter of the I.W.W. and signing off as "Joe Hill" for the first known time. At the beginning of 1911, Hill is found in Tijuana, attempting to mobilize an I.W.W. offensive to assist the overthrow of the Mexican government. From then until January 1914, Hill's trail once again runs cold, this time not due to a lack of information, but to an impossible wealth of Joe Hill sightings; Hill became such a legendary "wobbly" that he is accredited as being present at practically all I.W.W. functions nationwide.

    It was during this time that Hill established himself as the main event of I.W.W. rallies, singing songs he had written that pilloried capitalist bosses, "scabs," glorified the ordinary American worker, and urged on the creation of unions. The lyrics to these songs were published in the I.W.W.'s Little Red Song Book and achieved wide distribution therein, but most of the thousands who got to know such songs as "Union Maid," "The Preacher and the Slave," "There is a Power in the Union," and "Workers of the World, Awaken!" heard them sung by Joe Hill in person. The lyrics were usually simple, easily memorized, and set to tunes that were already known to the assembly at the I.W.W. meetings. "A song is learned by heart and repeated over and over," Hill once wrote, "and if a person can put a few common sense facts into a song and dress them up in a cloak of humor, he will succeed in reaching a great number of workers who are too unintelligent or too indifferent to read."

    In January 1914, Joe Hill was apprehended in Salt Lake City, UT, on a still controversial, but seemingly entirely circumstantial, charge of murdering a local grocer who also happened to be a retired law enforcement officer. During Hill's trial he offered little to no evidence in his own defense, and was more openly hostile to the volunteer attorneys representing him than he was to the prosecution, who sought the death penalty. Hill was convicted and executed by a firing squad on November 19, 1915, over the protestations of the Swedish Ambassador to the United States, Helen Keller, and President Woodrow Wilson himself, all of whom had pleaded with the governor of Utah for a new trial for Hill. Hill's own unexplainable behavior under these dire circumstances suggests that, though innocent of the charge, he had resigned himself to the notion of becoming a martyr for the cause of the unions. To be fair, it should be stated that Hill's fellow inmates at the Utah State Penitentiary believed that he was, in actuality, guilty of the charges against him. After his execution, the coffin containing Hill's body was hastily transported to Chicago, where it was joined by a crowd of 30,000 mourners in a massive I.W.W. funeral procession through the city streets.

    Joe Hill's 30 or so songs were once thought so dangerous that many would dare not sing them in public or risk arrest. To this repertoire was added an additional powerful anthem of the left, entitled "Joe Hill" and written in 1925 by poet Alfred Hayes and set to music by Earl Robinson. This was sung at workers' rallies in the 1930s and 1940s, when millions were in attendance and the I.W.W. itself was no longer even a factor. Although the red-baiting of the 1950s put a damper on the American left, by this time, the work of Hill had already left its mark on such singers as Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston, and Pete Seeger and other left-leaning folksingers who would further influence Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and those who would become leading voices in the 1960s protests against the Vietnam War. Baez sang the song "Joe Hill" as the first number in her appearance at the 1969 Woodstock Festival.

    Joe Hill never found himself in a situation where he could be recorded, and his influence was mainly spread from singer to singer. Only in the late '90s did historians take much interest in Joe Hill as a performer and artist, and the study has already revealed much about the origins of politically oriented folk songs in America. It appears that Joe Hill, whether guilty or innocent of murder, was truly the first protest singer in America, and certain of his specific metaphors, such as his notion of "pie in the sky when you die," are encountered repeatedly in subsequent generations of folk songs that deal with social and political change.

    Para la próxima semana, según se puede leer en varios sitios.

    A ver si es cierto, llevo esperando la actualización de los iMac desde hace rato para poder pillarme uno, pero el tio Jobs se hace rogar. He pasado de comprarmelo antes para no encontrarme al día siguiente con que han actualizado los procesadores o han aumentado la memoria. Que suele pasar, y no mola en absoluto que de una día a otro ya te hayas quedado atrasado.

    Hace algunos días tuve una conversación con un tipo con respecto al Grunge, de cómo se fomento este estilo y cómo es que sobrevivió a los nuevo tiempos. Cada uno tenía una visión bastante diferente de cómo se ha visto influenciado el movimiento por los países sudamericanos y cómo los jóvenes hemos tomado esta "moda" para mantenerla en el tiempo.

    Él me decía que el Rock y el Grunge en particular había que vivirlo, que los pendejos de ahora sólo saben apreciar esto como una moda y que ya los rocket de la vieja escuela no aparecerán, que los chicos de ahora no entendían el espíritu Grunge de la época, que en las tocatas ya no se veía lo mismo que hace 10 ó 15 años. Sin lugar a dudas yo no estuve de acuerdo de todo con su postura, ya que para comenzar quiénes somos nosotros para juzgar a un chico que no tuvo la oportunidad de vivir el apogeo del Grunge en su juventud, ya que en esa época él era sólo un niño, no podemos pensar así, ellos tienen el derecho de gozar el Grunge a su medida y como ellos quieran.

    En lo particular, el Grunge ahora no es un estilo de vida, el Grunge fue un estilo muy arraigado a la realidad del norte a fines de los años 80, una realidad de drogas, suicidios, y mucha lluvia era la que estos jóvenes tenían que lidiar en esos tiempos, es por eso que nosotros no podemos decir que los "rocket de la vieja escuela ", tenemos el derecho de disfrutar nuestra música, marginando a las generaciones más jóvenes.

    El Grunge en sí, fue un estilo de vida como ya dije en el norte, pero que pronto se transformó en una "MODA", ya que las grandes industrias se encargaron de masificarla a través del mundo, con todo lo que ello significa, muchos millones de mangos, firmas multimillonarias, contratos por años, yates, fama, muertes, mujeres, drogas, mansiones, estrellas del rock, y un sin número de otras vanalidades que mataron de apoco un estilo de vida que muchos odiaban, pero que pertenecían a la idiosincracia de los alrededores de Seattle.


    Yo aún vivo el Grunge, aún vivo mi música como en aquellos años, obviamente que ya tengo que lidiar con el pelo más corto, con zapatos y otras responsabilidades, sin embargo aún en mi pendrive suenan mis bandas favoritas, aún en mi computadora está toda la información que necesito, de lo que me gusta, aún en mis recuerdos veo y escucho esos sonidos que me marcan como si fuese el primer día que escuché a un Nirvana o quizá a un Pearl Jam, es por eso que a todos los chicos que no tuvieron la oportunidad de vivir el Grunge la primera mitad de la década de los 90, les digo que no importa, que lo vivan a su modo, y si tienen que pronunciarlo de manera caótica en alguna tokata, háganlo, ya que son libres de hacerlo.

    This cd starts out with a bang with a song called "Fall In" and it just dosen't let up. I think alot of people have the idea that "B-Sides" means "Not so great". Well, take it from me, this is NOT THE CASE on this cd. I literally can't get enough of it. This is a very special collection of songs that were WAY ahead of its time. If you played most of these songs for someone, and didn't tell them who it was, they would think it was a brand new song. Beat My Guest is just the best dang song. No wonder it has been covered as many times as it has. Nine Inch Nails covered "Physical" and "Redscab" two songs on this cd. Human Bondage Den is one of the greatest songs ever written. And let me tell you Mr "Goody Two Shoes" was NO Goody Two Shoes at all. He was a dirty boy! Heh heh!

    1. Fall-In

    Formed in the squat punk communities of London in the late 70s, Charge, led by the inimitable Stu P Idiot, stood out from the crowd by incorporating elements of sexual deviance, high camp, glam and baroque punk, alongside an engaging and often surreal sense of humour. They were one of London's best live acts of the period, cultivating an impressive fanbase, and were especially popular in mainland Europe where they regularly toured.
    This new Cherry Red release sees them immortalised on CD for the first time, featuring all their studio recordings for the Kamera label, including the much cherished album Perfection, and three Independent Top 10 hits, notably the hugely amusing 'Fashion'. The deluxe package also features the band's extremely rare debut single 'King's Cross' for the Test Pressing imprint. It was compiled as a tribute to the late vocalist with contributions from the musicians and friends who knew him, who have also provided exclusive photos and memorabilia.
    Record Collector - 4 stars "a band that refuses to be pigeonholed", "a fitting tribute to a unique talent"

    This is a live recording from an all-original member reunion show in 1991. Because they had lost the legal rights to the name T.S.O.L., the show (and this CD) had to be listed under the members' full names. They sound pretty good, despite a few minor musical miscues. Most of the material is from "Dance With Me" and the first 2 EPs. Good stuff and recommended if you are a fan of that era of T.S.O.L.

    Possibly the greatest band to emerge from the Chicago area in the '80s, this is the band that would eventually spawn Pegboy and forever secure a place in the punk rock hall of fame. Naked Raygun redefined all the rules of punk in the '80s, being melodic when thrash was in, noisy art-damage when pop was in, and calling it quits when they were on the verge of going mainstream. But who cares? They were punk and there were no rules then. Now time warp to 1997. 2,000 screaming punk fans, two final sold-out shows and 22 songs recorded live. All the classics are here and they sound just as vital and important today. This is a great collector's CD – and for you new guys out there, this may be your only chance to check out America's premier punk band in its natural environment – live!

    Despite being pioneers of Montreal's '80s hardcore scene, Genetic Control never released an entire album. Brave New World includes the band's 1984 EP First Impressions and "Suburban Life," which was also recorded in 1984 for a compilation. After forming in 1983, Genetic Control fast became known for their love of breakneck speeds and oozing talent. Drummer Louis "Lewis" Levesque was known as the "best punk drummer in town" and guitarists Rob Porter and Rob Huppe demonstrated well-crafted tempo changes that led into nice little bass breakdowns courtesy of Doug Crevier. Brave New World kicks off with 19 live tracks recorded in 1998 when the band played an anniversary show to commemorate a Montreal venue, and despite all the time that had passed since the band's quick demise in 1985, the live material captures the magnetism of Genetic Control's music. The First Impressions recording has been digitally remastered and this is the first time it has appeared on CD aside from poor quality bootlegs that have been floating around. With 26 tracks in all, this is a comprehensive guide to an outstanding band whose career was unfortunately far too short. (Shadoks)

    Back in 1979 when the original Mod revival took the UK by storm there were a handful of Mod bands that stood out proud above the others The Chords, Secret Affair, The Purple Hearts and Squire to name just a few Hot on their heels were the Killermeters, not quite so well known but well accepted by the music press of the day Full pages were written in Sounds and the NME and a minor hit was nicely tucked under their belts courtesy of RCA Becoming the pride of the North the Killermeters stuck around for a number of years until they split in the early 80s Like so many others the Killermeters started life as a punk band the Killer Meters as they were then, split in 1978, reforming in the October as the mod band The Killermeters, kicking back into life with a new song that said it all; Back In Business During their time they were warned by John Peel that the Mod image would lead them down a blind alley but they were also raved about in Sounds by Gary Bushell, supported Secret Affair and the Undertones and finally went on tour with Eddie and the Hot Rods Unfortunately the tour was to leave them badly in the red and as a result the Killermeters finally came to an end, coming back to life as Soldiers are Dreamers in 1981, taking their name from the Sassoon poem This album takes the listener through the legend that was the Killermeters With tracks taken from various sources this is the definitive Killermeters recordings including demo versions of their better known tracks Twisted Wheel and SX225 Finishing with six of the best tracks from the Psychedelic period of the Soldiers Are Dreamers this album could be described as the This is your life CD

    La antorcha olímpica ha pasado por la capital de Australia, Canberra, donde se han podido ver algunos pequeños enfrentamientos verbales entre partidarios chinos -en masa- y organizaciones ProTibet -muy pocos-. Tambien hubo represión por parte de la policia local, dejando 7 detenidos, uno de ellos por quemar una bandera China.

    Ahora Nagano recibirá la dichosa antorcha. Ya hay montado una gran dispositivo en Japón para que nada se les vaya de las manos.

    Reznor anda de culo inquieto desde que terminó su gira mundial el año pasado. Primero nos sorprendió con Ghosts I-IV, 4 discos rellenos de temas instrumentales. Ahora, casi 2 meses después, Trent hace sonar en varias estaciones de Estados Unidos lo que es su nuevo sencillo, titulado Discipline.

    La canción va muy en la onda de Only, lo cual quiere decir que aborrecerá a los detractores del With Teeth. Mientrás que el resto de los mortales no le haremos ningún feo y la bailaremos, con la esperanza de que algún día podamos volver a escuchar algún tema en plan Gave Up o March of the Pigs marca de la casa.

    .
    For the uninitiated, rembetika sounds exotic, from another time and place, which is true enough. Rembetika's origins are a bit murky, but one thing is for sure, it flourished in the cafes and bars of Greece in the late 1920s through the '30s. It is outlaw music; the music of the Greek underworld sung by Rebetes (those who are social outsiders, they lived on the margins of society and crossed the line more often than not to stand apart from it).

    It has been regarded as dangerous music even by the country's government, who nearly banned it: they tried to censor its content in recordings but failed. It has been called the Greek blues, and that's not far off. This is a place where the complex patterns of Middle Eastern modalism and the repetition of form that exist in the blues meet in one place. This collection on Nascente brings together the work of a number of rembetika's finest from two different schools, or "scenes" actually, the Piraeus and the Aman tradition:

    "Café Rembetika" features four of the greatest stars of the Piraeus scene that later formed the first Rembetika supergroup: Markos Vamvakaris, Stratos, Batis and Artemis. Also featured are leading singers from the Café Aman tradition: Rosa Eskenazi, Rita Abatsi and Marika Papagika.

    Here then, is a collection of some of the greatest songs from the golden age of Rembetika:

    Hay una actitud que siempre ha estado bastante en vogue en el indie rock: la del niño bueno que canta cosas irónicas. Se trata de sonar flojito, delicado, con guitarras inocentes y ritmos informales y poner encima una voz de “yo nunca he roto un plato” cantando letras ingeniosas. El nerd norteamericano que en realidad tiene un corazón muy sensible. Bueno, no está mal, hay grupos como Death Cab for Cutie y, sobretodo, The Shins, que lo hacen, y que, gracias a maravillosas canciones, le dan un sentido a esa actitud naïf y dulce. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin me parecen mucho más del montón que esos dos referentes. Porque cuesta encontrar buenas canciones, que llamen la atención en algun aspecto. Y si no hay canción, uno se centra en el sonido, y si el sonido es ya conocido, el disco se convierte en mediocre. Seguramente se pueda disfrutar si a uno le va mucho este género, incluso hay algun tema notable como “Think I wanna die” que al igual sí que pondría en la posición 15 o 16 del CD que me llevaré de vacaciones, pero en conjunto me parece un disco más del descafeinado catálogo de Polyvinyl.

    Este grupo me recuerda a estos grupos españoles que no saben muy bien si les gusta más el grunge, el noise, el pop, o todo lo contrario… Se me ocurre Balboa, Liquid Sun… o guiris como Scheer o Die Monster Die, grupos con cantante femenina haciéndose la dura al frente para hacerse un hueco entre guitarras que no hacen nada especial, encima de una base rítmica que camina lo justo y con canciones que no tienen absolutamente nada remarcable. Además, la portada de este disco es de lo más desagradable que he visto en tiempo… una chica atada, tirada en el suelo con un cuchillo clavado en el culo… por dios… y mira que el digipack, blanco, con letras en barniz, podría ser precioso, de no haber un motivo tan de mal gusto como protagonista. Lo único remarcable es que es un grupo esloveno, lo cual no significa nada más ni nada menos que eso, que es esloveno…

    "Sing For Freedom: The Story of the Civil Rights Movement Through Its Songs" is a moving collection of 26 songs - hymns, speeches, spirituals, gospel songs and prayers - recorded in churches and mass meetings during the early 1960s in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. It includes classics like "We Shall Overcome", "This Little Light of Mine", and "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize".

    This compilation captures the irrepressible spirit of that era and reveals a determined and triumphant African American culture. It is a collection of glorious songs and heartstopping selections by The SNCC Freedom Singers, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, and others.

    "...there is wonderful singing here, great conviction, and the immediacy of living truth...powerful documentation of the most important social movement of our time."

    If you ever need an emotional and spiritual pick-up, then this album is for you. The beauty of these recordings is the courage the speakers and singers had in the danger of what they faced. Hopefully this will inspire listeners to similar courage in the problems they may face today.
    Sing Out!

    "If you can't run - WALK, and if you can't run - CRAWL, just KEEP MOVING ON!" (Martin Luther King)

    Duke Reid (born Arthur S. Reid ca. 1915, Jamaica, died in 1974) was one of the initial producers in Kingston who developed Jamaican music. He started in the early 1960s with ska productions, developed the rock steady style and took part in the early days of reggae music.

    This is the original, 41-track, double CD collection, with all the classic rock steady hits by the great groups (Melodians, Paragons) and singers (Alton Ellis, Phyllis Dillon). Digitally re-mastered, "Duke Reid's Treasure Chest" is a collection that truly showcases the label's greatness, and captures the magic of Treasure Isle rock steady. Pure soul magic from start to finish.

    "Duke Reid's Treasure Chest" provides quite a proficient overview of the formative years of reggae. It compiles tunes from the vaults of his Treasure Isle label, perhaps second only to Studio One in terms of success and influence.

    .
    For all the Kurt Weill completists here´s another release of the "Threepenny Opera" recordings from RIAS Berlin, November 1988, posted in an older version on this blog some month ago.

    Ute Lemper shows with her interpretation of "The Threepenny Opera" her understanding of Weill's vital irreverence. Her star performance within this ensemble cast is a pleasure to behold.

    John Mauceri, a passionate advocate of Weill's less well-known works for the Broadway stage, achieves a tight sense of ensemble from the composer's iconoclastic scoring and gives the abrupt transitions of the piece a highly effective, jagged-edged quality. The spoken part of the text is drastically cut, and on the issue of which musical direction to pursue - operatic technique or cabaret campiness - this version sensibly recognizes the diversity of authentic Weill performing styles, making room in its cast for the classically trained Helga Dernesch and René Kollo as well as Ute Lemper's cabaret smarts. The result is engrossing and gives the spotlight to "Threepenny Opera's" subversive blend of irony and humor.

    Performers: Ute Lemper (Soprano); René Kollo (Tenor); Helga Dernesch (Mezzo Soprano); Milva (Soprano); Wolfgang Reichmann (Spoken Vocals); Susanne Tremper (Soprano); Rolf Boysen (Bass); Mario Adorf (Voice)

    TEN YEARS AFTER - RECORDED LIVE - 1973

    ten years after en vivo nuevamente! a diferencia del undead (que ya habia subido) este es mas largo, tiene mas temas [y tambien me vuela la cabeza y me deja alucinando] pero tambien es de algunos años despues, por lo que creo yo, nos muestra una banda mas madura, y totalmete experimentada en lo que es un concierto de buen rock n roll!

    que mejor que comience a sonar one of these days (del disco a space in time), relajada, mas bien lenta, pero despues bien rockera con harmonica y todo!. you give me loving le da un toque mas bluesero al disco, buen riff y mucho feeling lo hacen un muy buen tema. quieren escuchar algo del shhh en vivo??? good morning little school girl es para mi uno de los mejores de la banda, el riff es genial y el solo es a toda raja. me gusta mucho esa parte por la participacion que tiene el bajo en el solo, va marcando un ritmo diferente, pero sin provocar una confusion entre lo que hace las figuras ritmicas quer hace el bajo y el solo de la guitarra. que sigue? hobbit un tema rockero, pero se le da paso a ric lee para que demuestre lo suyo y haga maravillas en la bateria en cerca de 8 minutos. bajando un poco las revoluciones continua help me, un tema bien lento pero con matices de intensidad le va dando peso al tema, que poco a poco se va transformando a una especie de blues. tiene muy buenos momentos el tema, (que dura cerca de 10 minutos) los cambios de intensidad y las pausas le dan el toque blues rock que caracteriza a la banda.

    el segundo disco comienza con unos interludios, el primero (dura menos de 1 minuto) son unas frases en guitarra, y el segundo es un duelo guitarra/voz. luego i can't keep from cryn sometimes continua con lo que seria la linea de temas mas bien lentos, pero con el caracteristico toque de ten years after. pero luego se da paso a la improvisacion y entre medio del tema tocan el riff de sunshine of your love de cream. luego de la improvisacion se retorna al tema original. continua otro interludio de cerca de 1 minuto y la banda prosigue interpretando show blues inc, otro tema blusero y de larga duracion. me gusta mucho el solo de guitarra y sobre todo el de teclado, que crea un ambiente relajado y unico. gran pieza del disco, muy buen tema.

    ya finalizando la banda comienza con im going home. gran interpretacion de alvin lee en la guitarra y en la voz, acompañados siempre por ric lee en la bateria, leo lyons en el bajo y chick churchill en el teclado. sin mas comentarios para este gran tema, creo habla por si solo. se debe escuchar si o si!!!! y el ultimo tema de la presentacion es choo choo mama, gran blues rock que en precisos 3 minutos da un buen cierre al concierto.

    espero que les guste, porque al menos ami me vuela los sesos.

    NASHVILLE PUSSY - LET THEM EAT PUSSY - 1998


    bueno, esto es nashville pussy (por si no los conocen), grupo proventiente de norteamerica, pero fue formado en georgia a fines de los 90's. su "filosofia de vida" claramente es el lema sexo, drogas y rock n roll jajaaj. se supone que tras lo que fue la epoca del grunge, los nashville nacen tratando de revivir todo lo que es el hard rock setentero, pero le dan mucha mas energia; es como una fusion de hard rock con punk. el resultado un rock sucio y callejero, con letras basadas en la diversion!!

    una de las cosas que me llamo laatencion de la banda fue que estaba compuesta por dos hombres (blaine cartwright como guitarrista y vocalista y no se como cresta se llama el baterista XD)y dos mujeres (yeah!!!!): ruyter suys en la guitarra principal y corey parks (en ese momento) en el bajo.

    los nashville son mas una banda en vivo que en estduio; sus presentaciones son su punto mas alto, es un completo show verlos, desde que no paran de cabecear todo el rato hasta ver a una ruyter como la version femenina de angus young (terriblemente hiperactiva XD) etc.

    si te gusta este tipo de musica, no te va a decepcionar el album, pero si no (creo q ese es el unico punto debil) creo que te va a aburrir un poco. personalmente hay 3 temas que me gustan mucho; go motherfucker go, i'm the man y eat my dust. espero que les guste!

    ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!!

    viernes 18 de abril de 2008

    Estas cosas a veces pasan. Había visto a Dälek un par de veces en directo y no me impresionaron mucho. Unos cuatro años más tarde escucho su último disco por casualidad y, como por arte de magia, lo que antes me parecía simplemente correcto, ahora me hace disfrutar.

    El cuarto disco de Dälek (sin contar un par de Eps en los que colaboraron con Kid 606 y los italianos Zu) demuestra que se puede hacer un disco que recuerde a My Bloody Valentine tanto como a Eric B and Rakim. De hecho, llevan unos diez años haciendo algo parecido: bases rítmicas de ascendencia old school acompañadas de abstractos collages sonoros que beben de Faust, Eno, Stars of the Lid y el ensimismamiento en general. Y por encima de todo ello, el pausado recitar de Dälek, en deuda con emcees clásicos como Rakim o Guru.

    Iba a escribir que "Abandoned Language" es una obra maestra del hip hop más experimental y abierto de miras, pero es que sus anteriores discos, sobretodo el imprescindible "Absence" (Ipecac, 2004), también son discos con enjundia. Así que simplemente diré que su cuarto disco representa un eslabón más en la estimulante carrera de este dúo de New Jersey, la clase de disco que uno espera encontrar en el año 2008.

    Gracias por enviar tremendo material. En lo personal jamas he visto esta cinta (cabe decir que esta es la banda sonora de una pelicula), pero musicalmente puedo opinar. El disco es bueno, trae muchas bandas antiguas, algunas mas inclinadas al punk de barrio (las primeras) y otras con tintes mas metalicos (las ultimas). Es un buen documento de la escena Under de Colombia de finales de los 80, mas no podria decir si no he visto la pelicula. De todos modos dejo un link a Wikipedia donde habla y da ciertas referencias.

    En un mail de esos laaargos que solo exigen (tipo cartas al viejo pascuero pidiendo regalos), nombraron que por favor subiera este EP si lo tenia (junto con mil peticiones mas). En fin, Toreros After Ole son de España, bastante viejitos, y este es un 12''. Lo que hay es Punk vieja escuela, tiene buenos temas, en lo personal no me llama mucho la atencion y lo escucho bien poco. Pero no me hagan caso y escuchenlo.

    Cuando uno dice 'punk en Brasil' irremediablemente cae el nombre de Ratos De Porao (bueno, para ciertos informados), pero hay montones y sobretodo a mediados de los 80 salieron muchas agrupaciones y muy potentes. Inocentes es una de ellas, y este un EP que data del año 83', cantado integramente en portugues (algo se entiende). De los integrantes cabe decir que venian ya de otras bandas, pioneras en Brasil, que venian desde el 79' incluso haciendo ruido. A mi gusto es altamente recomendable, el primer tema quizas sea lo mas flojo y es que el resto son solidos tracks de breve minutaje. Punk al hueso.

    First off i just want to say everyone can stop bitching about xAFBx. I don't care if you are a close minded fuck. I listen to all types of music, Everything from Grindcore to underground hip-hop like atmosphere and eyedea. Punk and hardcore will always be my favorite, but still if you don't like something here keep your mouth shut about it. I do this to turn people on to new music. I thought us punks were supposed to be open minded. You guys have fun worrying about how many studs are on you jacket and how tall your mohawk is, i will have fun going to shows and listening to the music i love. So please if you don't like the music on here, stop coming here, im not making you. And as always thanks to the users who actually support the site! Now with that out of the way, onto Hellkrusher. I'm sure you all know this band. Some great d-beat here. This album was re-produced by bomb factory records but, originally released by r.k.t. as an lp. thats pretty much it.

    .
    Here´s anther Richie Havens album, called "Cuts To The Chase". Although this recording from the 90s doesn´t have the same resonance as his great 1960s LPs, Guitarist and composer Richie Havens keeps making thought-provoking, poignant and intensely personal music, with few (if any) romantic songs and frank discussions of issues without violent or sexist rhetoric.

    This was Havens' first solo release after some years of rest, and it contains only one original. But his covers of songs by Sting, Kris Kristofferson, Bob Lind and Marty Balin become his own memorable statements, while guitarist Billy Perry and guest guitarist Greg Chansky provide three new compositions. This album is a worthy vehicle for the 1990s.

    Here is another hardcore/metal straight edge band. Until the End formed in January of 2000, due to the necessity for a sXe hardcore band in South Florida with a modern twist. The band aspires to pass on their ideals they formed growing up, playing the music they love, and returning an affirmative message to the scene. Until The End is a favorite in South Florida, with an enormous fanbase. They are probably most known for their unruly shows with wild crowd participation and enthusiasm that is hard to forget.

    Tercer disco en solitario producido por TIMBALAND Saldrá en septiembre con INTERSCOPE RECORDS

    Chris Cornell ha aplazado su próxima gira europea, inicialmente prevista para comenzar en Holanda el 31 de mayo, hasta el otoño. El aclamado, multi-platino ex vocalista de Soundgarden y Audioslave esta trabajando en el estudio con el super productor Timbaland, en continuación de los trabajos de su tercer CD en solitario, tentativamente programado para salir en septiembre de 2008 con Interscope Records.

    "Debido a un prolongado horario de la grabación, voy a llevar a cabo el concierto delante de mis fans europeos unos meses más tarde de lo previsto. Con esto dicho, planeo viajar extensamente por Europa y el resto del mundo a través de 2008-2009 ", dijo Cornell.

    Una reunión curiosa, el ex frontman de Soundgarden y Audioslave, reclutó al productor de moda, Timbaland.

    Y parece que la cosa rindió sus frutos: Timbaland dijo que esta colaboración con Cornell ha sido "el mejor trabajo que he hecho en mi carrera, este será el disco favorito de todos este año".

    En tanto, Cornell comentó que "esto es completamente diferente a todo lo que he publicado". Y se encargó en aclarar que él venía de una escena de rock independiente, "donde si eras productor, no eras músico ni compositor".

    ¿Cómo trabaja Timbaland? "Es una persona a la que le gusta experimentar y te puede decir se una canción es muy larga o muy corta o necesita ser más agresiva", afirmó el vocalista. "Tim es un compositor, así que trabajé con él como en una colaboración, como si formáramos parte de una banda".

    Es curioso como es el mundo del friquismo. Mientras una gran parte de los músicos y artistas en general se pasa la vida intentando ser distinto al resto, ser personal, ser genuino, ser único, la otra mitad desea pertenecer a una u otra movida y confunfirse entre la masa. Con el mundillo de las series B o Z pasa lo segundo: siempre se recurre a una estética muy concreta, la de las películas de ciencia ficción y terror de bajo presupuesto. Yo no entiendo mucho de ésto, pero observo que hay todo un mundo alrededor de estas directrices. Musicalmente pasa lo mismo, la estética cutre-fantástica se une, casi siempre, al psychobilly. En el caso de los Horrorpops, la banda toca, desde luego, muy bien, técnicamente muy precisos y imaginativamente bastante correctos, su psychobilly no suena excesivamente reiterativo y le dan un toque de sonido moderno que se agradece en lugar de la tendencia general a sonar retro del género. Tambien le dan un giro a lo Social Distorion en algun tema, otro a lo Misfits en otra. Dentro de los encorsetamientos del género, me parecen una banda más que correcta, aunque la voz no hace justicia a la música. Se parece en algunos momentos a Gwen Stefani en los primeros No Doubt, algo de Courtney Love cuando suena enfadada, y poco más a la hora de resaltar su personalidad. Pero hay algo a su favor: esta cantante, Patricia Day, resulta que es además la contrabajista del grupo, tan solo acompañada por un guitarrista y un batería. Con lo cual, lo que le falta de personalidad cantando se compensa por su trabajo en conjunto.

    A dios pongo por testigo que he intentado escuchar este disco con mente abierta, pero es imposible, por mucho que la haya abierto: no me gustan ni las canciones, ni la voz del tío-tía que cantan, ni los instrumentos que usan, ni la producción, ni nada de nada…
    El grupo de nuestras antípodas Architecture in Helsinki mezclan en Places like this muchos estilos (demasiados) en una amalgama postmoderna de indie actual y sonidos ochenteros, que en mi caso se me ha empachado. Por ochentero me refiero a la concepción que tienen de los ochenta los oficinistas square: o sea, Cindy Lauper, coros de chico-chica, ahora-tú-ahora-yo y sintetizadores con sonidos raritos como de videojuego del Commodore 64, y no a Gang of Four, los Feelies, Rites of Spring o los Jasmine Minks.
    No sé porque Polivynil Records sacará estas cosas hoy en día, imagino que para quitarse el sambenito de "emos" que les habían colgado por culpa de las bandas que formaban parte de su escudería de un tiempo a esta parte: Rainer Maria, Paris Texas, Sunday's Best, Braid y compañía, pero me gusta más que saquen cosas como Saturday Looks Good to Me (eso sí ha sido un acierto), que aunque el nombre suene a grupo de emo-rimmel-adolescente son una banda de pop atemporal entre Belle and Sebastian y Beach Boys, por decir algo, que sí han conseguido colarse en mi corazoncito.
    Pero supongo que esto es mucho más moderno y menos demodé que ese punk entre melódico y melancólico que era su marca de fábrica (y que, por cierto, a mi me gustaba más). A mí Places like this a ratos me recuerda a la banda sonora de "Lío en Rio", esa horrible peli con Michael Caine, esa especie de Calypso blanquito comercial que tuvo durante 5 minutos su momento de gloria. Otras veces la canción se basa en un ritmo hip-hop old school sobre el que suenan unos sintetizadores usados como si fuera la boda de vuestra prima y el cantante cantando con gran histrionismo con mucho yeah-yeah-yeah, baby baby y arrastrando las vocales al final de las estrofas como si le estuvieran retorciendo los cataplines (¡oaaaaooooeeiiiiiiiiii!). Incluso en algún momento puntual me recuerdan incluso al punk con sintetizador de Milemarker, pero con mucho menos empuje hardcore y bastante menos gracia.
    En resumen, no me andaré más con subterfugios, que a mí no me ha gustado nada. En una onda parecida (por los ritmos, por la mezcla ecléctica y por lo bailable) me quedo mil veces con The Go-Team, más que nada porque carecen de esta pesada carga de horterismo eighties intrínseca en Architecture in Helsinki.
    Pero bueno, lo que yo opine no deja de ser una opinión personal intrascendente y, en el fondo, lo que importa hoy en día y el rasero por el que se mide a los grupos es su éxito en los festivales (ya nadie compra discos). Y la verdad sea dicha, esto va a triunfar en todos los festis del verano, porque es intrascendente, extremadamente bailable (sí, Michael Jackson también lo és) y porque suena a "los ochenta", esa década tan graciosa de la que todo el mundo se disfraza para hacer el gilipollas en el quateque de navidad de la empresa.
    O sea, que no me hagais ni caso, vosotros poneros la pulserita y a lo vuestro.

    Os propongo una reseña un tanto peculiar. En vez de escribir el típico artículo comentando el nuevo disco de Headcharger, "Watch the sun", voy a realizar un análisis DAFO del CD en cuestión. Para quien no tenga ni idea de qué es eso de un análisis DAFO, explicar brevemente que se trata de una técnica del marketing que se pone en práctica antes de lanzar comercialmente un producto con el fin de estudiar su futuro comportamiento en el mercado (nivel de ventas).

    Así, el análisis DAFO se compone del estudio de las siguientes cuatro características de dicho producto: las Debilidades (facetas negativas internas), las Amenazas (facetas negativas externas), las Fortalezas (facetas positivas internas) y las Oportunidades (facetas positivas externas). Según todo esto, así quedaría el análisis DAFO de "Watch the sun" de Headcharger:

    • Debilidades: las facetas negativas internas serían las propias del género musical en que se encuadra este disco. En efecto, al ser "Watch the sun" un álbum de Rockin' Hardcore, entonces el problema es el de casi siempre: demasiado rockero para el público Hardcore y demasiado Hardcore para el público rockero. El segundo disco de los franceses Headcharger pecaría pues en demasía de unos riffs muy rockeros y de algún que otro solo de guitarra.

    • Amenazas: el Rockin' Hardcore fue un subgénero que nunca acabó de cuajar. Nunca ha obtenido el reconocimiento masivo que tal vez se merecía y buenas bandas como Within Reach o Like Peter at home (a las que, indudablemente, recuerda este disco) se cansaron hace tiempo de seguir intentándolo.

    • Fortalezas: la principal característica positiva de "Watch the sun" es que, al fin y a la postre, se trata de un buen disco. A los hechos me remito: "You wanna dance you gotta pay the band", "Every tick of the clock", "Up to you" o "Adrift". Suena fresco, precisamente porque el Rockin' Hardcore no ha sido un subestilo masivo ni sobreexplotado (no se puede decir lo mismo de otros como el metalcore, el emo o el Hardcore melódico). Además, títulos tan ingeniosos como "Si quieres bailar tienes que pagar a la banda", "Cada tic del reloj" o "El síndrome de Bill Murray" de buen seguro que esconden letras interesantes.

    • Oportunidades: la actual escena Hardcore está saturada y necesita cosas novedosas y tal vez un tanto mestizas. Parece que lo que está pegando ahora es el rollo ese del mathmetal, pero pronto empezará a aburrir a más de uno. Es entonces cuando discos como "Watch the sun" y grupos como Headcharger deben aprovechar la oportunidad de interesar a ese público que tenga la mente y los oídos bien abiertos.

    Una vez hecho el análisis DAFO y el lanzamiento del disco, poco más puede hacer la empresa, es decir, el sello discográfico y la banda. Ahora la decisión es del consumidor.

    DEADLINE fue el primer grupo de un bisoño Brendan Canty que en el 82, me imagino que fascinado por sus conciudadanos, grabaron 11 canciones de furioso hardcore, que los descubre como uno de los grandes nombres olvidados de la primera hornada hardcore de Washington D.C. Y es curioso que afirme esto porque sus canciones para el recopilatorio de Dischord "Flex Your Head", siempre me parecieron un tanto justitas aún a pesar de gastar la misma mala leche y ferocidad que se gastan aquí.

    Para encarar este disco hay que mirar a los primeros días del hardcore estadounidense en la costa Este y pensar en la velocidad y mala hostia de MINOR THREAT, la técnica de SCREAM o BAD BRAINS y el acople cacofónico de VOID. La lista se podría hacer todo lo grande que quisiéramos (JERRY'S KIDS, SSD, CAUSA FOR ALARM, NEGATIVE FX…) ya que estamos ante un grupo que no aportó nada nuevo al hardcore, y que en su momento y fuera de su escena debió pasar bastante desapercibido por ello, pero que visto con la distancia que dan 25 años se me desvela como realmente bueno, gracias a un sonido compacto y muy potente y a un vozarrón de los de rompe y rasga. Está claro que hay que hablar de Brendan Canty, por ser quién es, pero creo que este disco debería convencer más a los hardcoretas interesados en la vieja escuela (si es que queda alguno) que a curiosos buscando los orígenes del mito.

    Este grupo me tiene fascinado. Me enerva y atrae su portada, sin duda maliciosa y abierta a múltiples interpretaciones, tanto como ese logo suyo parecido a un pentagrama satanista con más líneas de las debidas. Pero lo que de verdad me fascina es la foto interior de un miembro del grupo con la chaqueta en llamas posando tan tranquilo, ante la pasividad de sus compañeros. No sé si alguna vez habéis sentido la necesidad de pillaros un disco viendo las fotos de los tipos que conforman el grupo (yo sí), pues esa foto es de las que me atrae hacia el grupo más que nada. Más inclusive que la música. Me obliga a querer saber de ellos, a querer verlos en directo, porque me augura cosas muy buenas.

    Pero CPC Gangbangs no me atraen solo por sus tonteos con el fuego (de KISS a MURDER CITY DEVILS pasando por Steve Albini ya ha habido unos cuantos pirómanos en el mundo del rock), hay algo más en su garage-punk marrullero y ruidoso que fascina y desconcierta.

    Pueden jugar a ser BEHAVE AND THE BARRACUDAS en "Jeff Starship", ser los niños brutos del garage tirando pedradas como "Teenage Crimewave" o "One More Girl", dejarse querer por el acople cacofónico y aparentemente sin sentido de "Mechanical Man" , machacar el wahwah a lo MUDHONEY en "Gone Black", o incluso ser más punkis que ninguno en "Driving Me To Habit" y "Coke Blues" pero para mi tienen un "je ne sais quoi" irreverente y ceporro camuflado de amateurismo que les hace altamente recomendables. A su favor diré también que oyendo este disco me he tropezado con cosas que me han hecho acordarme de ZEN GUERILLA, BLACK FLAG, MC5, JESUS LIZARD o PISSED JEANS (más los nombres anteriormente mencionados) ordenados sin ton ni son en un discurso propio, dentro de lo que permite un estilo tan limitado como el garage.

    De todas formas y por lo que he podido ver en Youtube creo que sería mejor recomendar uno de sus directos y no este disco. Hasta que llegue la hora de poder verlos en directo (si es que algún día llega) no nos queda más remedio que disfrutar del disco.

    La (grata) sensación que se tiene al tratar con los miembros de MARGARITA es que van por libre. Y eso se plasma en su música. Junto a sus compinches de GINFERNO y GRABBA GRABBA TAPE forman un núcleo de bandas muy originales y con cosas que decir, que tienen como único denominador común su amistad y su residencia en Madrid.
    Con paso firme y ayudados por muchos amigos van haciendo que su nombre esté en boca de muchos, aunque muy pocos tengan claro quienes son. Desde su primer EP donde se dejaban querer por DRIVE LIKE JEHU, SUPERCHUNK y FUGAZI han ido trabajando con el punk rock para acabar con un sonido personal, poliédrico y cubista que insufla personalidad a una materia prima más que sobada, pero que en sus manos sorprende, convence y reinventa el genero.
    Hace poco nos regalaron un precioso split con GRABBA GRABBA T
