PARSON RED HEADS
Os Fantásticos Parson Red Heads, de Los Angeles, vão lançar um EP novo em abril. Depois de lançar o debut em 2007 e um EP em 2008, ambos MUITO bons, eles voltam com mais algumas musicas para a alegria dos alternativos mais sessentistas. O som deles é uma coisa que te lembra um pouco aquele clima Woodstock, com muita influencia de anos 60, mas ao mesmo tempo com um 'que' de coisa nova. Tipo um sunshine indie, saca? Eles são ao todo 9 pessoas na banda, só se vestem de branco nos shows e moram todos em um grande apartamento-estúdio em Los Angeles. Alguns deles são parentes, 2 são realmente ruivos, o vocalista é casado com a baterista e eles ainda tem codinomes na banda, todos terminando com 'Parson', mesmo que esse não seja o sobrenome de nenhum deles. Não sei vocês, mas eu achei bacana.
Sobre o EP novo, ele será lançado em Abril, e ainda não tem nome. Para resolver esse problema, eles fizeram uma votação no myspace deles. Lá você escolhe entre dois nomes tão esquisitos quanto a banda em si: Unicornicopia ou Orangufang.

"Clicking on a PES film is to open a safe and suddenly see a million ideas glittering and exploding"
...this is what Michel Gondry says about PES, Animation Filmmaker from Harlem / New York.... and PEZ definetly is one of these directors with the weirdest ideas and the most amazing choice of objects to be used in his Stopmotion Short movies. "Western Spaghetti" has just been selected for Sundance, the Time Magazin named it the second best Viral of the Year!

JESSY BULBO / LA EXPERIENCIA CITRICA (SAY HOOO! REMIX)
Jessy Bulbo from Mexico City has just been releasing her second album on the ultracool art label NUEVOS RICOS. The Album has been produced by Martin Thulin (Los Fancy Free) who is just turning into one of the best indie producers of DF.
On her first record Jessy already had 2 amazing hits - Maldito and El Sexo Sin Amor - now on the new one called TARAS BULBO i really fell in love with one of the noisy tracks called La Experiencia Citrica. really fun turning this into an electro track!
I know there are millions of new stuff to post, some of them brilliant, and I should be posting some of these new stuff. Maybe next time... Today's post is about a guy that, in my opinion, is the best musician of the alternative scene. Also, he has been releasing fantastic albums, one after the other. Andrew Bird graduated in violin performance, and also plays guitar, glockenspiel, mandolin AND whistles. All of them brilliantly. By now you should be able to tell he is part of that 'baroque' team, that includes Joanna Newson and Fleet Foxes.
In 2007 he released his album Armchair Apocrypha, which is one of these albums that I HAVE TO listen to at least once every two or three days. Filled with a mix of nostalgic and melancholic mood, it carries you from song 1 to 12 smoothly, without that urge to skip a track. Bird uses his proficiency in violin, glockenspiel and whistling to create elaborated, yet conforting and warming melodies. And as opposed to many other violin players, he isn't annoying at all. That makes Armchair Apocrypha one of my favourite albums of the last years.
Now he returns with a new album, Noble Beast, that's due to be released on the 20th of January on the US and on the 2nd of February on the UK. I am waiting for it eagerly, and as soon as I have listened to it properly, I will write something about it here. Until then, I leave you with a track of the brillian Armchair Apocrypha.
FUCK YOGA! GREAT STORE - GREAT PRODUCTS
It started as a joke. My ex-wife was extremely passionate about her yoga practice. As a gag for her birthday I made each of us a fuck yoga t-shirt. She refused to wear hers. I wore mine for thirty-nine straight days and was stopped everywhere I went. A write up in The New York Observer and a photo in GQ Magazine got it rolling. An appearance on Sex and the City made it interesting. The first on-line sale came from two brothers in Bogotá, Colombia and the second from a cheerleader in Grand Island, Nebraska. Since then we’ve filled in a lot of the map. Jackie Gleason didn’t do yoga, either did Jackie Robinson, Eleanor Roosevelt or any Pope ever.
Yoga has survived for thousands of years and will survive for thousands more. It’s just that it has gone unopposed for too damn long.
