BRIAN WILSON | Love & Mercy

Domingo por la tarde y sonando este genio, BRIAN WILSON



I was sittin' in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin
Oh the violence that occurs seems like we never win

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

I was lyin' in my room and the news came on T.V.
A lotta people out there hurtin' and it really scares me

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

I was standin' in a bar and watchin' all the people there
Oh the lonliness in this world well it's just not fair

Oooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo
Oooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo-ooooooo
Ahhhhh-ahhhhhh-ahhhhhh-ohhhhhh-ohhhhhh

Hey love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
Love and mercy tonight

Love and mercy.

FRANKIE KNUCKLES | House Masters | Disco Recomendado

FRANKIE KNUCKLES murio el año pasado a los 59 años. Disc-jockey y productor era uno de los grandes pioneros de la música HOUSE y mentor para muchos Djs en actualidad. Lanzan un discazo titulado "Frankie Knuckles: House Masters", una colección de temas reflejando su impresionante trayectoria.

Un trabajo muy recomendado para los amantes de la electrónica y de la música dance, una auténtica joya. Lo que bien recoge este lanzamiento es la capacidad única de Frankie Knuckles para impregnar y transmitir emociones en lo "electronico". Puso el SOUL en el DANCE, que es el HOUSE.

Disco Recomendado!

A$AP | 2015

Te guste o no su estilo o su música, el rapero A$AP Rocky esta en la cima del Hip-Hop. Lanza su segundo álbum titulado "At.Long.Last.A$AP" dos años después de su impactante debut. Han pasado muchas cosas desde entonces, la fama y la muerte de un colega por sobredosis, área que el artista balancea en su vida privada y proyecta en su música.

Este segundo trabajo es algo más "moderado", en fin para vender más hay que poder sonar en medios comerciales donde la letra agresiva, machista, violenta y sobre sustancias químicas no son bien vistos en exceso. La producción es más sofisticado, aparecen en créditos productores de la talla de Juicy J , Kanye, Danger Mouse, Clams Casino & Mike Dean. ¿Sufre la música con tanto retoque? Si, pierde el sonido auténtico, crudo y de barrio que hace este artista tan llamativo. Pero pasa a todos, la maquinaria de la industria diluye para que las masas (clase media) pueda dirigir. Aparte, tiene un equipo de marketing detrás tocando las teclas correctas.

Buen disco, que gustará mucho a los amantes del rap y hip-hop. Hay un buen uso de samples en los temas.

VALET | Nature

VALET es un trío de Portland (EE.UU), zona con cierta fama de albergar muchos grupos y comunidades "hippies". Verdad o leyenda el hecho es que salen muchas bandas con inclinaciones musical hacia lo psicodélica y/o alternativo. Valet es uno más y su nuevo álbum "Nature" es un encanto para los amantes del género.

JAMES | She's A Star

Buena banda JAMES. Si tienes tiempo e interés busca su material por la red.



Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore
Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow will always keep her small
So frighten that he wont lover her
She builds up a wall

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark

She's a star

She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming through

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark

She's a star

Don't tell her to turn down,
Put on your shades if you can't see,
Don't tell her to turn down,
Turn up the flame.
She's a star

It's a long road
It's a great cause
It's a long road
Its a good call
You got it,
You got it,

She's a star

JAMIE XX | In Colour

El productor de moda británico JAMIE XX saca disco titulado "In Colour" el día 1 de Junio. Sonidos muy electronicos con cierto sabor "comercial" para poder llegar a un público más "amplio".

Adelanto un tema de álbum con la participación de Romy (XX).

STEVIE WONDER | Superstition

No necesita esto palabras o rollos míos. Disfruta!



Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then we suffer,
Superstition ain't the way.

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problems, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't want to save me, sad is my song.

When you believe in things you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh.

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no.

THEE OH SEES (Banda)

Esta gente de San Francisco (EE.UU) son... llamativos. Se llaman THEE OH SEES y francamente aún no podria decir de que van - todavía. Cuando crees que lo tienes ya averiguado el tema siguiente te deja descolocado, es bueno no te deja indiferente. Escucha el video y si te gusta busca material de su nuevo álbum "Mutilator Defeated At Last".

HOT CHIP | A tiempo para el verano

Los ingleses HOT CHIP han tenido una carrera como una montaña rusa, buenos discos y otros infumables. Parece ser que el sexto y nuevo "álbum"  titulado "Why Make Sense? " les vuelven por el buen camino. Y lo lanzan perfectamente sincronizado con el verano y los miles de terrazitas-chiringuitos que están hasta arriba de gente para poder poner su música como fondo y ambientación musical.

Un buen disco que me ha sorprendido y que te hará mover el esqueleto, y más después del tercer mojito...

RADIO 4 | Recomendado

Desde Nueva York (EE.UU) RADIO 4 y un tema del disco "Gotham" (2002). Recomendado!

METZ | Ruido

Si buscas "ruido" prueba la música de los canadienses METZ y su segundo y nuevo disco "II".

SHAMIR | De estanteria

Si, Azealia Banks necesitaba una versión masculino, los de la discográfica se pusieron a buscar y encontraron SHAMIR. Ya sabes, que sea un artista que se diferencie del resto, llamativo y así pusieron a su servicio la maquinaria de "propaganda musical". ¿Que hace subido aquí? Pues el jodido (en versión cariñoso) lo hace muy bien y pienso que puede triunfar en los circuitos más populares y para la "generación You Tube". Decidi tu, ¿mola o no?

Album: "Ratchet"

SUNFLOWER BEAN 2013 | Nuevos

Algo novel hoy, quizás una apuesta, aunque hay que ver. Pero aquí se trata de describir y estos americanos (de Brooklyn) se llaman SUNFLOWER BEAN 2013 y en breve sacan single y supongo disco después de verano. Pastelillo, con guitarritas que molan y un look de actualidad que puede darnos una sorpresa. Esperamos su long-play.

VAN HALAN | Jump

¿Como va el fin de semana? Jump!



I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest all around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean?
Might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Aaa-ohh Hey you! Who said that?
Baby how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean?
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.

[Guitar solo]

[Keyboard solo]

Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Get it and jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.

RUN THE JEWELS | Recomendado

Desde Nueva York y Atlanta City (EE.UU) el duo RUN THE JEWELS con un tema de su impresionante disco del año pasado "Run The Jewels 2". Super Recomendado!



It be feelin' like the life that I’m livin' man, I don't control
Like every day I’m in a fight for my soul
Could it be that my medicine’s the evidence
For pigs to stop and frisk me when they rollin' round on patrol?
And ask “why you’re here?”
I just tell 'em cause it is what it is
I live here and that’s what it is
He chimed “you got a dime?
I said “Man, I’m tryin' to smoke and chill
Please don’t lock me up in front of my kid
And in front of my wife
Man, I ain’t got a gun or a knife
You do this and you ruin my life
And I apologize if it seems like I got out of line, sir
Cause I respect the badge and the gun
And I pray today ain't the day that you drag me away
Right in front of my beautiful son”
And he still put my hands in cuffs, put me in the truck
When my woman screamed, said “shut up”
Witness with the camera phone on
Saw the copper pull a gun and
Put it on my gorgeous queen
As I peered out the window
I could see my other kinfolk and
Hear my little boy as he screamed
As he ran toward the copper begged him not to hurt his momma
Cause he had her face down on the ground
And I’d be much too weak to ever speak what I seen
But my life changed with that sound

[Hook: Boots]
Get out, get out, get out, get out
Feeling this, feeling this too early
Get out, get out, get out, get out
Feeling this way, feeling this way
Feeling this, feeling this too early
Feeling this, feeling this early
Early (x4)

[Verse 2: El-P]
It be feelin' like the life that I’m living man, I don’t control
Cause every day I’m in a fight for my soul
All hands below, high seas in a rickety boat
Smoke o’s, so the kid might cope
You want cash or hope, no clash, matter fact get both
Go without get turnt to ghosts
You know that's the law, deal done by the shake of claws
It ain't a game if the shit don’t pause
And I find you odd, so convinced in the truth of y’all
That the true truth’s truly gone
And yes there's a they, any time a man say there's not
Then you know that he lost the plot, what can I say?
Truth’s truth when denied or not, like its true crews ride the cock
Fair enough, the way that the beat bump do sound tough
I made it in the dark like Civil War surgery
Woke up in the same air you huff, early
By twelve o’clock the whole Earth felt dirty
Street Lamps stare when you walk watch the birdie
They’ll watch you walk to the store they’re recording
But didn’t record cop when he shot, no warning
Heard it go pop, might have been two blocks
Heard a kid plus pops watched, cop make girl bleed
Go to home, go to sleep, up again, early

[Hook]

HENRY ROLLINS | Liar con letra

HENRY ROLLINS con "Liar"



you think you're gonna to live your life alone
in darkness
and seclusion
yeah I know
you've been out there
tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home
and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
and now you're desperate
and in need of human contact
and then
you meet me
and you whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
and you trust me completely
I'm perfect
in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
you feel so lucky
but your ego obscures reality
and you never bother to wonder why
things are going so well
you want to know why?

cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll tear your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
a liar, a liar

I'll hide behind a smile
and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know
so you can say
I really identify with you, so much
and all the time that you're needing me
is just the time that I'm bleeding you
don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
and I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me
you want to know why?
cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me

cause I'm a liar, a liar
liar, liar, liar, liar

I don't know why I feel the need to lie
and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside
maybe it's something I can't explain
cause all I do
is mess you up and lie to you

I'm a liar
oh, I am a liar

if you'll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
because now I see the destructive power of a lie
they're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
that I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
no, no
ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa
sucker
sucker!
oh, sucker
I am a liar
yeah, I am a liar
yeah I like it
I feel good
ohh I am a liar
yeah
I lie
I lie
I lie
oh, I lie
oh I lie
I lie
yeah
ohhh I'm a liar
I lie
yeah
I like it
I feel good
I'll lie again
and again
I'll lie again and again
and I'll keep lying
I promise

FOO FIGHTERS | The Pretender

Potente tema de un gran disco de FOO FIGHTERS - "Echoes Silence Patience & Grace"



Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began

Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in, again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense

Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

In time our soul untold
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend

What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
You're the pretender
(Who dares)
What if I say I will never surrender?

What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all pretend)
You're the pretender
(Who dares)
What if I say I will never surrender?

So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

TURNOVER | Recomendado

Nuevo y segundo disco de los americanos TURNOVER titulado "Peripheral Vision" a caer. Delicioso "dream-pop" que roza el "shoegaze", y eso que empezaron sonando "punk". Una banda que no se arruga cambiar y probar nuevos sonidos. Recomendado!

ELVIS DEPRESSEDLY | 2015

Quizás no les conozcas, son americanos y se llaman ELVIS DEPRESSEDLY. Sonidos electrónicos, melódicos y de ensueño. Lanzan un nuevo disco este mes - si ya no lo han hecho - y no esta nada mal. Se titula "New Alhambra". Buscarlo y darlo una escucha!

FAITH NO MORE | Por La Puerta Grande | 2015

Los americanos FAITH NO MORE lanzan nuevo disco después de 18 años!!! Titulado "Sol Invictus" sale el días 18 de mayo. Aquí hay un adelante, y si hay que volver asi hay que volver. Guay!

MY MORNING JACKET | Nuevo Disco 2015

Ya está disponible el 7º disco de estudio de MY MORNING JACKET titulado "The Waterfall". Un álbum que me ha dejado un poco vacío. Muy limpio y producido de p*ta madre pero falta la magia que tenían en anteriores discos. Aparte hay un "retroceso" en sonido que no me va, a veces parece que estoy escuchando "Chicago". Dicho esto, es solo mi opinión y ánimo que busques por la Web y lo escuches tú mismo. Esta bien, simplemente pienso que se han "desviado" un pelin.

CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG | Southern Man Live

He estado unos días fuera de la ciudad visitando amigos y familia este fin de semana. En un momento nocturno de juntarte con "viejos" amigos con unas birras, me sacan un disco de CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG y me pinchan el tema "Southern Man" en directo. Acojonante!!!

Te lo subo en formato video. Recomiendo que dediques 14 mins para escuchar esta pieza de arte... en serio, te va hacer buscar el disco y, si no lo conocías, buscar material extra de estos extraordinarios artistas.

PANDA BEAR | Lisboa 2015

Un nuevo single por PANDA BEAR de su disco "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper". Vídeo grabado en la ciudad de Lisboa (Portugal).



Are you mad?

Yeah I'm mad
With a treat
You made a bunch you bet
And you'll make more
Go on make some more
But you won't
Nope you won't
Ever make that one again
You don't make that one again
Don't make that again
This the last time
It's inside the one and all

Are you mad?

RED HOUSE PAINTERS | Recomendado

RED HOUSE PAINTERS llevan haciendo música desde los años 90 del siglo pasado. Ahora relanzan sus discos para una "nueva generación". Cosa que espero que puedan apreciar con toda la mier*a que se escucha normalmente. Hay varios discos suyos - todos d.p.m - pero "Red House Painters" es enorme. Un disco para sentarte y escucharlo bien. Buscar por la red material de esta banda que estoy seguro que te va gustar. Recomendado!!!

THE STOOGES - I Wanna Be Your Dog

THE STOOGES 

Un día de perros... un clásico para reflejar :)



So messed up I want you here
And in my room I want you here
And now we're gonna be face to face
And I'll lay right down in my favorite place
Yeah you know what that is

Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
(C'mon) (I want to be your dog you know it)

Ooh give it to me
Now I'm ready to close my eyes
Yes now I'm ready to close my mind
Now I'm ready to feel your hands
Lose my heart on the burning sand

Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
(C'mon) (I want to be your dog you know it)

Do it
Yeah that's right

So messed up I want you here
And in my room I want you here
And now we're gonna be face to face
And I'll lay right down in my favorite place
Yeah you know what that is

Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
Now I want to be your dog
(C'mon) (I want to be your dog you know it)

Well come on
I'll be your dog
