The Presets

It was at this new antro venue called Zoon, i have this vague memory of this 90s nightclub called Medusas placed around that Plaza Inn area, so this place could in fact be where Medusas was. And everybodys all crazed up by the gripe porcina thing, you get to the venue they put alcohol in your hands to wash off any viruses you might carry and they also give you the so called tapa bocas azul we see everywhere around the city these days, and you are ready to get in.

It was a small concert, fit for the band, fit for the crowd. Excellent sound, and I indeed had a great fun, i think i didnt dance like that since... its probably one of the nights i danced the most in my whole life haha! I even went out completely wet on sweat and wrapped on my jacket trying to avoid the cold wind from the typical door to car episode, i take off my top in the car and it was wet as if i had fallen into a swimming pool.

So yeah, perfect night, easy access to the venue even with a baby girl with no ID! We as usual arrived there late, intentionally just before the concert started, which i highly recommend to avoid crowds, that way you get there, dance and youre done and out faster. Their set list was great before the encore, they played a tight set including their most acclaimed tracks and then walked off stage, but came back to do an improvised encore that should have been skipped, its better to walk off in glory than to play longer and walk off tediously. So i did skip the encore (again to avoid crowds) and i didnt see the end of the concert but i dont think i missed much.

The sound was very close to the one here in this vid.

Watch out for la gripe del puerquito!

Garbage

Another kick ass 90s band. Garbage sounds really fucking good live, some people say its impossible to sound like them live, just a band with producers on board could be apt for this kind of tracks played with the same equality during stage shows. They are totally one of my most heard bands during the late 90s/early 00s, and of course tracks like: Push It, Special, Only Happy When It Rains, #1 Crush, are on my playlists and iPod very often.

This lady Shirley Manson definitely rocks, shes a role model and obviously a fashion creep (she comes up with very good ideas from time to time). I love her voice as one of my favorite female singers, she has worked with She Wants Revenge and i think shes in the new post apocalyptic TV Show of Terminator.

This tracks perfect.

Happy 4/20

How did you guys celebrate 4/20?

I decided to get high at work! hahaha

First i freaked out but everything went to a very well outcome. I think ill probably get a raise or something haha! i was highly creative and even though if i was a little distracted and sometimes i did forget a few pointers, i did perfect team work! But dont get me wrong, i do not recommend you to do it for all kinds of working activity.

Well Ill give you my special 4/20 present! Ta-Tan!



Thats a video i found that has one of the most impressive video game tracks i have ever heard. I love the track called Panic Of The Undead which its featured in the video game Zombies Ate My Neighbors!

The first time i heard it i couldnt help but laugh, and i heard it over an iPod, no images, no video game, this song has this something that makes it very special, makes you just laugh, its a melody that evokes your humor to laugh, which its something ive never heard before.

If you want to hear the track and get high, be my guest, its highly recommended!

And... I must give recognition to that kick ass zombie that our little YouTube user shares with us over this vid.

Friday On My Mind

Todays my Bday, wtf am i doing here? i mean i should be having a drink by the pool or at least getting ready to go celebrate, i would even take getting everything ready to welcome some friends coming over, not at work, not at work indeed.

The Wallflowers

So it was a bday present, i liked the song from the radio and everybody did, i guess it was a big hit back then huh? So when i got it i was exited, i dig music, even back then i did. Dont you think its romantic? Its a sad song indeed but i remember back then when i was way younger i always used to sing this, and i dont know why but it moved me, it sounds like some romance displaying over this 90s movie. Its hard to put in words those blurry memories but i remember going up to my room playing the cd and listening from track to track all that day, i get this funny feeling when i remember that, because i recall my friends there hanging out and talking about boys, and i dont see most of those girls anymore, i dont even know anything about most of them.

Yeah the song sounds like the past in that way because after listening this song over and over all that year, i forgot about it, but now it came back not long ago and brought back all that, i get a little nostalgic on that teenage memories. Now ill turn 24 in a couple of days and i get even more nostalgic about the past, tear tear haha.

Jakob Dylan, yeah, Dylans son, great voice and great song!

One Headlight - The Wallflowers live at the Isle of Alcatraz



Im gonna play it in all of my birthdays from now on.

Faithless

Its a natural grace
Watching young lifes shape
Its in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts

For tonight...

God is a DJ!!!

Remember that Matrix film where they make this huge party inside a huge cave that can house the rest of the alive human population? This Zion place? Remember all this people dancing like crazy and having like the best fun ever? Faithless can make you get close that.

Time to dance, time to heal, time to go crazy!

Vlad The Impaler

And Kasabians back!

Well we all may know them for hits like Empire, Reason Is Treason, Shoot The Runner etc. But we indeed have different favorites, they have many good songs and usually they know how to choose their singles. Well this time i believe its not an exception.

Vlad The Impaler, the song releases a strong riff and the usual Tom Meighan rap that hits the spot. At the start and at some point of the song you get this very electronic feeling with the delayed "get loose get loose" Serge Pizzornos calls to the people.

But being honest, even if a like it, its the worst single they have released to my opinion.

But the emphasis here, we have to aim it to the really nice video, this vintage styled horror movie like video. Cinematographic cliched but it does the job for this band, and well i like it, its funny. What you movie lovers think?
