Let's be honest, but this last month, was in terms of music, a huge boiata, nothing new, surprising and with the addition of that perilous latrine San Remo.
But wandering here and there I went to listen to many different kinds are looking for something to review from the novelty of the moment.
So in search of something good I came across the super Reviewed Lightspeed Champion with "Life Is Sweet Nice To Meet You" that deserves the trash (and tell me otherwise); to Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg, Okkervil River's keyboardist with the archipelago that there golden mast step to the bone, Popa Chubby doing the homework with "The fight is on" (but in comparison is a luxury), Danny & The Champions Of The World with "Streets of Our Time" is too much with a folk dated but without backbone, the soundtrack of Animal Collective ODDSAC the council but in small doses, and so I take refuge in a safe with Ted Leo & the Pharmacists and the cd out The Brutalist Bricks and the always great Anton Alfred Newcombe and his " Brian Jonestown Massacre .
Preface 1: Ted Leo was born in South Bend, Indiana on 11 September 1970, the brother of two songwriters Chris and Danny, he graduated in 1988 in English children's musical trio Weller, Strummer and Bragg began making music with Citizen's Arrest, Animal Crackers and Chisel to form the non-group Ted Leo and the Pharmacists already that the first is nothing but a solo album dated 1999. From 2 cd
formed the group itself, but the singer / guitarist Ted Leo has been the band's main songwriter, creative force, and the only constant member. The band's music combines elements of punk rock, indie rock, traditional rock, and occasionally folk music and dub reggae as best 70s tradition. I had left a typical punk album-oriented model and was quite skeptical about it working but I must say it deserves more than just listening, not the album of the year but is at least one of the most cheerful of the last two weeks, perhaps he has served the hearing live the Pearl Jam already that have been the openers for six dates in the United States in June 2008. 3 stars.
But let the juice: The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Who Killed Sgt Pepper? is nothing more than yet another "journey" musical (?) Anton to heaven. For the unbelievers
tell the story of a little group is nothing but the story of Anton Alfred Newcombe.
Born August 29, 1967 in Newport Beach, California, the multi-instrumentalist (he is credited with knowing how eighty playing instruments), songwriter and head of the neo-psychedelic rock project "The Brian Jonestown Massacre", formed the group in 1990 in San Francisco and after a public mini cd the first long job in 95. Known for his eclectic musical tastes, along their 11's work all over the fact that you are over 60 alternate members in the band mainly due to its controversial nature and its problems with drugs and alcohol. Our
is nothing but a modern and Syd Barret with what I have summed up the whole.
For those who approach his world this is not the best of the lot but by far a cut above the average of current productions.
misunderstood genius.
The disc begins with a mantra very similar to the work of Ozric Tentacles.
name due to the sum of Rolling Stone Brian Jones and the Jonestown Massacre, or the mass suicide that occurred in 1978 in the homonymous spiritual community founded by the "guru" American Jim Jones in Guyana. 3 stars. Now to
Citay .
A nice confirmation from the cover that reminds me a little of the Rain Parade Emergency Third Rail Power Trip, remember the balloons (for those who do not know which is the album Start pouring the approach).
Citay I like the aforementioned are Californians Rain Parade, San Francisco, and the music of the bay are based, taking heavily from all that was heard in Frisco since the late 60 today.
Maybe it would be fair to say until yesterday, because this their third album, despite previous Little Kingdom (Rain Parade squashed) mainly repeats the sounds that are very dear to Jefferson Airplane when I want to give a comparison to their way of making music, guitars and tastiese psychedelic go-go, and choir due to the godfathers of that freaksound taken if we are to this day. Between rides and epic choruses sound you get to where coverizzano Tugboat Galaxie 500's huge.
3 stars.
The other album of the session is Booker's Guitar Eric Bibb.
The story that gave birth to this album has the flavor of legend, like the one that tells the story of Robert Johnson and his covenant with the devil. It all started a few years ago. After performing in London, the bluesman Eric Bibb was in his hotel when he was approached by a fan holding the custody of a guitar. Inside that case there was a National Resophonic guitar of the '30s, belonged to the Delta blues legend Booker White (cousin of BB King). To have that guitar in his hands was a kind of epiphany for Bibb, an event that has given knowledge of their origins and that led him to rediscover the blues tradition from which everything is born. That meeting in London has inspired a song (recorded with his then guitar Booker) and the song later became an album, "Booker's Guitar," which captures the spirit original delta blues and reads with the eyes of modernity. 3 stars.
Finally I propose the work of poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron , born in Chicago, spent his early childhood in Tennessee, and lived in the Bronx during the years of high school. After a year of attendance at the University at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, published his first novel, The Vulture (the vulture), which was very well received.
started recording music in 1970 with the album Small Talk at 125th & Lennox with the assistance of Bob Thiele, co-author Brian Jackson, Hubert Laws, Bernard Purdie, Charlie Saunders, Eddie Knowles, Ron Carter and Bert Jones, all jazz musicians. The album included the aggressive diatribe against the major media owned by white men and the ignorance of the middle class of America on the problems of cities in songs such as Whitey on the Moon.
Pieces of a Man of 1971 had more conventional song structures than the free speech and free the first album, even if the classifications were reached only in 1975 with "Johannesburg". His greatest success was in 1978, "The Bottle", produced by Heron and his longtime collaborator Brian Jackson, which peaked at number 15 on the charts R & B.
During the eighties, Scott-Heron continued to affect, frequently attacking then-President Ronald Reagan and his policies conservative. Scott-Heron was left without a contract from the air in 1985 and ceased to record music, although he continued to tour. In 2001, Gil Scott-Heron was arrested for drug offenses and domestic violence. Apparently, her mother's death, the expenses for the funeral and cocaine led him into a downward spiral. Released from prison in 2002, Gil Scott-Heron worked with Blackalicious and appeared on their album Blazing Arrow. In recent years he has suffered other problems related to drug court up to this Now I'm here a beautiful album with Notre where poetry touches the strings of the soul and those of hell, elegantly tapping Blues, pop, country, Leonard Cohen, gospel and Captain Beefheart. To have. 4 stars.
