eyecandy. enjoy:

Vid du jour: CSS

Let's make love and listen to deah from above by CSS

hipsters swore their legitimacy by this album all summer. damn it. damn it, damn it. how come i just found out them? (thanx to dani for that xD) i probably would have missed out on so much...luckily their latest (i think) album was available on mininova so anyone can download it and become tres joyeux.

their sound is indietronic-catchy songs with even catchier lyrics. oh and they are from brasil. CSS stands for Cansei de ser sexi.

here's a live version of ALALA (way too catchy):

live. Kinky.

para las personas "quebradas" que gustan de la buena musica asi como cof* moi cof*, existen oportunidades de ver a bandas muy buenas de a grapa. En el 2006 o 2005, no me acuerdo bien, Vaquero estuvo tocando en la macroplaza y fui a verlo. i la verdad si estuvo muy bueno el pequenio tokin que se aventaron, hasta el sonido estuvo fregon y la raza pss bien prendida. por ahi dicen, no se yo verdad, dicen, que puro "naco" va a la macro. pues saluditos especiales para esos que creen eso porque no es cierto. para nada. todo tipo de gente va a la macro. hipsters, nacos, fresas, y todas las subdivisiones populares de la population (saludos gera!)y pss si ir a la macro me hace "naca" pss que se la coman, porque (jajaa) como dice la camiseta "ser naco es chido" y punto.

bueno la cosa es que "latin alt rock sensation" kinky (como la describen en sites gringos) se va a estar presentando en la explanada de los heroes este viernes 31 de agosto ahi por la 8. se va a poner especial, nunca los he visto en vivo pero buscando ahi por la red me encontre unos comments que dicen que si tocan muy bien en live. me dare la vuelta por ahi y posteare fotos y si se puede asta un vid feliz.

happy weekend! (como decia la tipa fresa que hablaba al d99 todos los viernes en la maniana hay con ivan.lastima del cambio de horario. :P)

Vid du jour: She Wants Revenge

Written in blood by She Wants Revenge

this is the new vid for the upcoming She Wants Revenge album: This is forever. it comes out october 9. the vid is perv stuff but the noir cinema likeness makes it very appealing besides the song really fits. thank god for the existence of depeche mode and the release of albums such as music for the masses and black celebration, because without them bands like this one would not exist. still loving the 80's! (despise the hipster love of niu rave).

Vid du jour: Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird's showcase at La Maroquinerie (Paris) by Fargo, March 2007.

Watch the way he plays his violin at the begging, and how he whistles!

very entertaining and different from the studio version. but that's the magic of his live show. you'll never know what you'll get.

similarities.

the new ads for autumn/winter 2007 by Paul & Joe are very similar to the covers of both kings of convenvience studio albums: two guys, one girl, hanging out at home, looking nice.

This next add could be their next cover for the upcoming album.

Riot On An Empty Street

Quiet is the New Loud

complaints about fashion.

here's a list of complaints that have araised throughout this past 2 weeks about fashion in the USA.:
#1 holland t-shirts: henry holland's widely popular in your face slogan t shirts (and similars) have been around in europe for like the whole summer, how come they just popped in the USA?
#2 nu-rave: nu rave is a trend that the klaxons started just to get noticed, it was supposed to be a JOKE. then, suddenly everyone started copying it and voila! there's the hottest trend. now hipsters are bringing it to the USA as if it was the best "new thing" while it has been around for ages like the slogan shirts.
#3 PEOPLE IN THE STATES DONT KNOW HOW TO DRESS, well maybe a few know how,but most dont. i've watching some shows about benefactors and stuff,and they have tons of money and cant afford a simple beautiful dress, instead they wear stuff that looks like it came off an army store (and u can find even better things there.). horrible sick-yellow gowns with absolutely no shape, they cant even coordinate colors, (imagine that yellow with brown.. ugg gross), that not even the queen of england would wear, fuck not even my grandma. and i cant understand, they can have everything but not an stylist, wtf. not even actors know what to wear, if it wasnt for those "great" stylists (that even sometimes fuck up) they got, they would be totally lost. i mean when u see "celebs" anywhere elese than the red carpet, they look like vagabonds. fucking horrible.
4#THE BORDER MALLS SUCK or maybe i just saw the light of european fashion, but there's nothing good there anymore, everyone here at my town goes to laredo or mcallen to buy clothes and the effect of that is that many people buy the same item and you end up pissed off cause other 20 people got ur same "original"shirt. that sucks. all those stores got the same shitty clothes.
#5 CLOTHES ARE NO BETTER THERE THAN HERE AT MEXICO. fact: all the clothes u see in the mall are actually made here. most of them, or in china. so no weeping about "quality" here and there its the fucking same thing.

#6 THERE ARE NO STORES LIKE TOPSHOP AND THEY ONLY GOT ONE ZARA AND ITS NEW YORK. shops like topshop, h&m and zara, bring the trends of the runway to the common people who cant afford designer stuff. they actually have beautiful upadated clothing. while in the USA the stores are pretty common, with no designer like stuff.

note: the past 3 complaints are truth for only the states of the north of mexico and south of the USA.

note 2: actually most of them have to do with the border states cause that's "my reality".


ahh. im glad i got that off my chest.
i have more complaints but i cant post them all here. i thinl those are the main ones.

forgot one:
#6AMERICAN VOGUE SUCKS. really nothing to do with those from europe. teen vogue is at least a little better, but still short.

live.

Get this widget!

luckyly for those of us who couldnt make it, projekt reovlution, one of the most awaited tours of this year, featuring such amazing bands that barely have to do with each other, is gonna air live through myspace this wednesday.

Featuring HIM, Placebo, my chemical romance, taking back sunday, linkin park and others, the show is gonna be streamed live and the hours will vary depending on the area you live in.

for mexico i think, it starts at 4.30 pm.

enjoy.

Vid du jour: Beirut.

*beirut, the arcade fire and others playing the gulag orkestar.

wow?

WOW.

can't get enough of this vid and of this band.

the sound is that of a truly epic march to the cementery, or like this is the end of something, or more like it, the begining : beware of what is to come.

that song sounds amazing on the album played just by beirut. but add to that members of the arcade fire and other equally amazin bands. that song is played by more than 8 trumpets and all that people are reaally getting into it, its just wow. blowed my mind.

epic, no better word to describe it.

The Whitest Boy Alive en Mexico

Erlend Øye pasó varios meses a principios de 2007, tocando tanto con The
Whitest Boy Alive como con Kings of Convenience y después se fue a las playas de
Puerto Vallarta donde pasó tiempo componiendo nueva música. Ahora, junto con su
grupo the pop suave, mandaron un comunicado.

Basicamente dice que van a pasar dos meses en Puerto Vallarta para
seguir con el nuevo disco -posiblemente grabarlo- y que en el proceso le
gustaría tocar en toda la república mexicana durante los fines de semana. Quizá
también conseguir unas fechas en California y que necesitan rentar un montón de
equipo. Interesados en apoyar a la causa pueden comunicarse a
bubbles(arroba)whitestboyalive.com - vaya que les gustó México.

Extrañamente parece que ya no está el post en su blog de Myspace, pero
en there
goes the fear hay una transcripción de sus obscuros planes :-).

-tomado de la cuchara sonica.

ojala que si se den una vuelta por aca, y todavia mejor que sera en fin de semana. :D

felicidad a medias.

no soi feliz completamente
pero tampoco estoy triste.
pero me siento muy mal.
pero todavia estare ai.

i le tengo k decir a alguien k si me entienda.
aunke sea demasiado patetico.

me kitarion mis boletos de AA para MCR.
el estupido ticketmaster nos iso "fraude".una mona me dijo k tiketmaster a estado aciendo eso desde hace mucho, que t dice k t vendio los boletos, pero no.

nos dijeron k si se abia echo el cargo y k todo estaba bien bonito.y ya estaba bien segura de ke todo abia kedado bien y ke mis keridos boletitos me estarian esperando para recorgelos.

no.

fui el viernes por ellos y resulta k no abian echo el cargo. y k para akabarla ia no abia boeltos de AA.
ia no abia boletos.
me puse a rayarles la madre ai mismo.i se la fui a rayar a taquillas y al banco.
pero no les importo.
me kitaron mis boletos.
y les raye la madre como nunca.
i no me pelaron.
i termine comprando en A.
i escribo mi infelicidad en un blog.;
fuking pathetic.

okay estoy en A, si pero, AA nadamas eran 5 filas y no importaba muchoa que ora llegara komo kiera los iba atener enfrente.y en A me tengo k ir desde mucho antes.porke no es numerado tampoco y A es mas de la mitad del mendigo auditorio.
orita me estoy muriendo.
los compro desde el primer dia y luego luego y con lo k me salen.no puede ser.
io keria estar en primera.esa es una de las pinches bandaaas k me kambio y lo k asen.me kitan mis boletos comprados conmuchos aorros.
ia no soi feliz.

me kitaron mi felicidad, me la dejaron a medias.

denme un tiro...

sencillo.
un pum.
y zaz!
se acabo.

fin de semana lleno de
a)alcohol feliz
b)tarea
c)musica depresiva.
jaja k mal me leo.

cruda? para nada.

just a little self-pitying.
it helps.

maniana.nuevo.dia.
pff...
babe, its time we give something new a try.

Europe, the wolf and the twat.

damn it.
quisiera ir.
pero no se puede.

ahhh..the money-issue. braker of dreams and maker of lives. god-money as nine inch nails puts it.

ahh.friend broke the enchantment.shows pic of some guy that looks like gerard way. one would doubt if she is an admirer or a stalker.


.......................................................
back to self-musing.
the libertine by mr.patrick wolf is playing constantly. no effort to change it. very nice, neat song.meanwhile 9 year old sister is blasting Mika's relax through her headpones....


makes me remember that blog he posted
mika is a twat

which maybe he is. i dont know. but i get mixed feelings about it. i mean patrick's music is way more ...mmm..cantfindtheword..mmm lets just say music that haunts you. tres genial and for the educated ear (i mean for people who have liked this kind of music for a while...not for first listeners..well maybe yes..ah i dont know how to explain it. lets just say i dont think its possible to like mainstream music like hip hop or something like that and jumping suddenly to the next big thing..ahh.talk about hard to explain..). while mika is like....its definitly more ....welll..mmm.mainstream..mass digestible para todo publico en cierta manera. y tiene ese algo de freddy mercury que es muy appealing..peroo sigue sonando a the magic position.

i got lost again.

back to topic.

what i wonder is will europe sound like this?
through the songs of musicians from the other side of the pond i imagine europe.
i construct my trip to europe through travel stories, sounds, artworks....
i imagine the perfect trip and soudtack to it.
but is it really like this?
will i find the cafes, and the street artists and the beautiful architechture?
maybe i got a very romantic vision about it.
maybe that exists, deep in.
or if i go there i will meet the horrible truth?

will the "actually be there" brake the enchantment?

i read in a review that beirut's the gulag orkestar sounds like someone got into the real heart of the este de europa.

i el new york times sigue poniendo articulos de como ahorrar lana en el viaje. damn it.l

..............................................................................................................................................

damn i lose the point always. i divagate a lot.....divagoooo...divagooooo. y me pierdo.

Forum Monterrey 2007

Despues de gastar una lana haciendo proyectos inutiles de urbanizacion y adjudicarse conciertos que ellos no habian planeado, algo bien deebian de haber echo los del forum. Resulta que los monitos estos se pusieron las pilas para los espectaculos y se trajeron unos muy, pero muy buenos. Ase varios dias una lista de eventos fue revelada y esta bien largotaaa...entre ellos me encontre la grataa sorpresa de que el senioron Goran Bregovich iba a asernoos muy felices con su presencia. wow. fue lo uniko que pude pensar. algo bien tenian que hacer. pero k no lo vayan a cancelar.

esta listaa de eventos no ha tenido mucha difusioon en los medios: muchos se perderaan de eventos de primera.me tuve que enterar por los blogs we shall be free y ocho cuartos para saber de ella.

otra buena noticia es que estan tratando de que la mayoria de estos eventos sean gratis o de muy bajo costo...asi que no habra que sufrir tanto por eso.

CexCells

Davey Havok and Jade Pugent, both memebers of AFI, are releasing the new album for their side project Blaqk Audio on august 14. The album is streaming entirely rigth now at the duos myspace. i am currently on track 6 and i have two words to describe it: DEPECHE MODE. the sound is totally depeche mode- esque. the album isnt very ambitius but it doesnt fall short, it is just a good dance-to album...actually on some tracks it reminds of she wants revenge. dont know why....

Andrew Bird: Armchair Apocrypha

Leyendo por ahi unos blogs me entere ase varias semanas de un musicoo llamdo Andrew Bird. Baje el album mas recienteee i oh gran sorpressaa! un muy buen album. no tengo idea de komo describir su musicaa peroo sta buenisimoo.

‘Armchair apocrypha’ no es un disco que puedas llevar en tu ipod a hacer la
compra, a menos que veas algo dramático y apocalíptico hasta en los botes de
Nesquik y Mimosín,...
