M83

Yeah this is a new band over my iPod, i just discovered this great electro rock band that can add a smile or a tear to my life. Ive been watching their videos and they have this weird something about Halloweens, which i think its fun, make me remind Donnie Darko (love that movie!). Anyway, they sound nostalgic but bright and as this kind of bands with a lot of sound and not a single empty spot on the capacity of your speakers, they go under the flag of... echoed voices and pretty guitar riffs.

The videos remind me of one particular young little female, but actually i should be honest and admit that this kinda reminds me of me, a teenage little me. Do you remember how we used to spent all afternoon wondering around, nothing to do but daydreaming? fair enough, we were 15! but yeah, i was (im still) a professional day dreamer (as well as a professional critic of music haha). Anyway i was going to say this is a pretty video, it brings back memories of youth crushes and night dreaming haha.

She Wants Revenge

So.. they played the Estacion Indianilla museum which i think made an awesome venue visually, but for a concert was crappy, acoustically was shit (what i know about acoustics and musical resonance?) and the going to the restroom thing was a nightmare. Tequila Cuervo brought them as a headline show for their battle of the bands and they put up a tight set of amateur bands before we had them on stage. The show was fun i cant deny it, but the sound was crappy and if it wasnt for me knowing the songs and the loads of tequila combined with my jumpy youngster friend, it would have been really boring.

I think She Wants Revenge is a great dancing electro rock band, its fun.. the beat lets you go sensual and the melody makes you sing, they have this slight touch of rap you can sing too. I think its great for clubbing and even though its a two members band they come out with 4 members playing instruments which can be great for bands that put up a show with great equality sound, but for SWR... i say they should stick to what the are, a Dj and a guitar singer guy.

I had to find a video i could post because Universal Music decided to deactivate the video insertion thing... i could have tried the typical live video but i wanted to post this one because i think it was finely done by Joaquin Phoenix.

The Kills

This guys do justice to their name, they fucking kill it!

The kills is a two members band, an american girl that makes it to the tops of the list of cool singer front chicks, and this english guitar killer gifted with a creative mind to the fullest! A duo worth seeing live, they are agressive, sensual and fashionable, this couple could sound a little simple but giving emphasis to what they have, cool beats, guitar riffs with attitude, and a savage sexual voice.

This girls my role model!

hahaha nah but shes way cool.

The Doors

A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it's quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.

This reminds me my infancy, the Doors were a constant over my child years. My parents were great the Doors fans, my mothers used to put their records while my sister and i were playing around, i recall sunny days spent at the garden listening this song, i didnt really care about the equality of this track, as a kid, it was just a rhythm to follow with a soft melodic voice i could sing to. When the door of the studio was open, as an invitation to come inside, my father could be sometimes just sitting listening to the Doors, i would go in just trying to get his attention, i knew he left it open for me to come in and spent sometime together. It has taken part in my lifes soundtrack, it comes with good and bad memories, it comes with this mystic view of early dawns, it comes with this lonely joints smoked on my beds, it comes with soft and wild movement, it comes with nonsense meanings, it comes with a path for me to follow.

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line

The Crystal Ship - The Doors



One of my favorite bands all time since i was a little girl... i miss those days.

Death in Vegas

Well... let the guys from BRMC take a rest so we can move on to check up some other things (not that i will not post BRMC videos later on haha).

Mary Ann Fedick, 34
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
After asking her sister to take care of her kids, the mother of three, a cocaine user, killed herself with a shotgun.

Death in Vegas reminds me of this times in life when your voice sound rusty, things are pretty dark and quite.. scabby, specially this track takes me there. They do this dark rock and mix it with electronics, they are usually very electronic, but the guitar arrangements are a constant and a protagonist roll its well intended for the ambiance section of their songs.

This video i found its very creepy, i was going to post the typical live video as i always choose to do, but this one i feel transmits the fucked up society feeling i recall it made me feel.

BRMC week post #6

Oh but Robert is a great show man, it kinda surprised me when he came out alone with his guitar for playing a few solo songs, he even sat down next to the people... it was a perfect moment... even though as he said "im not that good at this" and he actually mistaken the first notes, he apologized and started again which was kinda... human hahaha.
