  • My mid-year review of 2008 releases

    28 Aug 2008, 03:26 by FinalPizzaHut

    Alright, so we're well past the halfway mark of 2008, and while it's a bit early for me to start making a top 20, I still like to make a journal of all the releases I've heard in a year, to keep track of them for myself, and hopefully to help someone else find something good. This will be updated on pretty much a daily basis, as I have a substantial backlog of music that I have yet to really piece together my thoughts on, or to even listen to at all. Also, I encourage recommendations, and nothing is off limits, so don't be afraid to toss something out there!

    Oh, and feel free to let me know if I should perhaps re-evaluate some of these albums. Sometimes really great material can get lost in the mix, and I'm sure I'll be periodically changing some of these ratings as it is.

    Italicized text indicated album ratings added at last update.

    Bold text indicates albums that should be picked up pretty much no matter what. Note that these are not necessarily the albums with the highest scores, but ones that have stood out as something special. These are the best of the best.

  • Albums que recomendó Conozca Mas (Mayo-Julio)

    22 Aug 2008, 22:14 by tinosoft89

    Scarlett Johansson - Anywhere I Lay My Head

    Calificación: 5/10
    De no ser de la participación de david bowie y nick singer (de los Yeah yeah yeahs), y de la feminidad de la misma scarlett no tendria sentido bajarlo, mucho menos comprarlo, a mi me pareció mejor el disco Mediocre de Ximena Xariñana cantando que esta actriz de woody allen.

    My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges

    No la encontré en last.fm, asi que no lo voya reseñar :D xP

    Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs

    Calificación: 8/10
    Un buen album que me pude bajar, una voz suave y sencilla jutno con tecklados melodiosos hicieron que mis oidos fueran un poco mas percerptivos a lo que escuchaba, antes de bajarmelo pensé... a ver si esta banda emo sale mejor que The Used y fue verdad teh used se estancó con sus cursi-mecortolasvenas-canciones, mientras esta banda se reinventa a si misma y da lo mejor de sí.

    Various Artists - Café Cubano

    Para aquellos que les agrada la salsa, guagancó, merengue y musica tropical hecha en cuba, este disco es para ustedes.

    Ratatat - LP3

    Cuando oí el nombre de la banda pensé O_o? rakata, ratatatatatatatata como la metralleta de rambo xD (cada vez que escuchas reggaeton te pudrirá las neuronas), en fin, no he oido este disco y tampoco está en last.fm por lo cual no lo podré reseñar...

  • "Dibder" - Music From The Motion Picture

    12 Aug 2008, 11:55 by CvaldaVessalis

    Though I have indulged in this iTunes shuffling fandango previously since my introduction to all things last.fm, and even submitted my very own rom-com soundtrack as a 70-minute playlist (which proved to be even more annoying than I realized, seeing as I was getting annoyed with good songs as opposed to Working Title/Hollywood standards or overplayed chart hits this time around). In any event, I decided that, if I were to try this soundtrack-shuffling exercise one more time, a little refinement in my shuffle technique needed to be put in order. Firstly, only five-star songs from my library would constitute this CD-long roster, so as to make sure that consistency wouldn't be compromised this time around. Secondly, I am keen to propose that life doesn't necessarily constitute a set list of key rites of passage (Wedding? Birth of child?? Waking up!?!), so, as per my present life experience and my own pre-supposed life trajectory, I have established new criteria for each soundtrack cue. Thirdly, given my last.fm friend Popicn's ridiculously appropriate playlist, I am guessing it's OK to cheat on this playlist just a little...? Forgive me, this is how much time I have to myself at work...!

    Just for reference, the title refers to my karaoke pseudonym during the last three years of my young and carefree life wherein I was allowed to be a dirty little stop-out and be privy to all kinds of illicit goings-on without recrimination or condescension from loved ones and friends... or, to put too fine a point on it all, my university years! Those years where you didn't feel self-aware when chatting bullshit about international relations, half-baked semi-religious philosophies, the responsibilities that leading powers of the world have for more impoverished nations and the resulting exploitation on both sides of the argument or how pissed off you were that your favorite singer always gets voted off halfway through The X Factor... That lovely time when becoming a professional and "five year plans" were the least of your worries. Though some of the cues on this list were composed and released after my graduation, they still remind of one of the best times of my life. This is dedicated to Deborah, James, Jessie, Richard and Rob, my housemates on Brading Road for two years, and five people I really need to spend some time catching up with:

    "Dibder" - Music From The Motion Picture

    01) You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby by Bobby Darin
    02) PlayNannou by Aphex Twin
    03) PlayABC by The Jackson 5
    04) PlayHarm of Will by Björk
    05) PlaySleep to Dream by Fiona Apple
    06) PlayArchangel by Burial
    07) PlaySkin Of The Night by M83
    08) PlayLet It Take You by Goldfrapp
    09) PlayLoose by Ensemble
    10) PlayRoads by Portishead
    11) PlayJust Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode
    12) PlayWake Up in New York by Craig Armstrong
    13) PlayMy Heart by Lizz Wright
    14) PlayInstrumental by Rob Dougan
    15) Shove It by Santogold
    16) Good Morning Heartache (feat. Chris Botti) by Jill Scott
    17) PlayI Don't Wanna Grow Up by Scarlett Johansson

    So, in an effort to make this journal a more discussion-based effort, try and guess which songs fit with the following scenes:

    Consensual Breakup/One Last Fling
    Disenchanted Club Scene/Meet Cute/First Night Together
    Family Emergency/Night Journey Home
    House Argument/Storming Off
    Self-Evaluation Montage
    Credits Sequence Following Sex Scene Interrupted By Projectile Vomiting
    Getting Back Together/Slow Dance
    Seminar/Drinking/Lecture/More Drinking/Partying Montage
    Promiscuity Rampage Montage
    Final Day/Moving On
    Graduation/Group Hug
    Morning After/Opening Narration Montage
    Nightlife Observation/Lonely Walk
    Morning After (Blissed Out) Montage
    First Night Out/Shots Montage
    Comedown/Sobriety Enforced
    Making Up With Friends

    Make of it all what you will, I'll be off pitching to whatever production house is interested!

  • bilan musical mid 2008

    30 Jul 2008, 19:47 by _g

    Cette année, ma consommation de musique déjà quasi boulimique a ENCORE augmenté. Oui quand tu travailles entouré de musique, tu es obligé. J’ai eu énormément de coup de cœurs et de baffes dans la gueule ces derniers 6 mois… Essayer de les résumer risque d’être dur et long mais je vais quand même essayer. Bien sur je ne peux pas parler de TOUS les CDs que j’ai écouté mais juste de ceux qui m’ont vraiment VRAIMENT marqué en ce début 2008. ALLEE JE ME LANCE !

    Commençons par les déceptions. Parce que c’est plus drôle comme ça.

    Déceptions mid-2008



    ___ # 알렉스 – My Vintage Romance: Album solo de la voix masculine de Clazziquai Project. Donc grande a été ma déception quand je me suis rendu compte qu’il ne s’agissait que d’un album de lover a deux balles parmis des millions… Je ne pense même pas avoir pu l’écouter en entier. Une ballade larmoyante vers la ballade remplie de guimauve et d’autres de miel sucré… Trop de ballade tue la ballade quoi. Déjà qu’a la base, une ballade c’est chiant. Je suis aussi heureuse de ne pas avoir continuer mon apprentissage du coréen sinon je pense que ma déception aurait été encore plus grande. La voix féminine de Clazziquai Project a elle aussi participé a un side project… De même augure. Donc ce qui prouve que le vrai génie de Clazziquai Project n’est d’autre que le troisième membre, caché dernière les platines. Kim Sung-hoon aka DJ Clazzi.

    ___ # J – RIDE: J abandonne son registre punk efficace pour de la pop rock facile. Mais moi je ne suis pas du tout.

    ___ # Julien Doré – Ersatz : Je m’attendais sérieusement a un truc beaucoup plus déjanté et décalé de sa part… Il y a des bons titres oui… Mais je reste quand même sur ma fin:/

    ___ # Mindless Self Indulgence – If : On copie colle ce que j’ai dit plus haut.

    ___ # Epik High – Piece, part one : Sur cet opus (premier d’une série apparemment); ils se sont tenté a l’electro, très en vogue ces temps ci… Et ça ne leur va pas du tout. Mais alors pas du tout. Au bout de quelques chansons, j’ai envie de passer a autre chose. Je préfère largement leurs deux derniers opus.

    Mais aussi :
    ___ - Madonna – Hard Candy : Aussi elu Pochette la plus laide de l’année.
    ___ - Scarlett Johansson - Anywhere I Lay My Head : La personne qui lui a dit qu’elle pouvait chanter voulait avant tout voir ce qu’il y avait dans le décolleté.
    ___ - Timbaland – Anciennement un de mes héros musical. Il est devenu en l’espace d’une année l’équivalent d’un supermarché musical distribuant ses productions au plus offrant. Je ne me suis pas encore remise de la collaboration avec M. Pokora.
    ___ - Metallica et la promotion de leur nouvel album vaseuse a souhait. C’est du foutage de gueule de grand augure (et de grand prix). Ils nous prennent vraiment pour des cons finis.

    Surprises mid-2008



    ___ # the studs – and hate: Oui je le crie sur tous les points : j’exècre Daisuke. Mais la fan de Deadman qui vit en moi, me pousse a continuer a suivre l’actu de ce groupe. Après un mini album fort pourri avec un chanteur aussi emmerdant qu’une piqûre de moustique sous le pied, voila l’album ! Et surprise ! J’aime ! la voix de daisuke qui, même après plusieurs tentatives d’adaptation, m’irritait au plus grand point, passe bien ! Même super bien sur quelques chansons ! Un album que je ne m’attendais pas du tout à apprécier. Il ne s’agit pas de l’album de l’année mais il est plaisant, mais devient emmerdant vers la fin.

    ___ # 雅-miyavi- - THIS IZ THE JAPANESE KABUKI ROCK: Plus sa garde robe se dégrade, plus sa musique devient intéressante… Bizarre. Le personnage est toujours aussi insupportable mais la voix s’ameliore. J’avais déjà apprécier son avant dernier mais grinçait encore des dents des qu’il ouvrait la bouche mais ce nouvel opus passe beaucoup mieux. Enfin a petite dose. miyavi mélange les genres et réussit a me donner envie d’appuyer sur repeat sur certains chansons. Comme the studs, mon taux de tolérance s’arrete au bout de 5 6 chansons.

    ___ # The Last Shadow Puppets – The Age Of The Understatement : C’est sans trop d’espoir que m’était intéressé au side-project de Alex Turner (NDLR : Chanteur des Arctic Monkeys).. Mais après deux grosse sdéceptions qu’était les deux albums des singes de la banquise, j’étais très méfiante vis-à-vis de cet album. Beaucoup mieux que ce que j’aurai imaginé. Bonne surprise. Par contre les deux comparse ont beau etre issus de deux groupes différents, on dirait des clones. Physiquement et vocalement.

    Coup de coeur mid-2008



    ___ # The Gossip – Standing In The Way Of Control : Enorme. Dans tout les sens du terme.
    ___ # INORAN – Photograph : Un album qui m’a fallu du temps pour l’apprecier a sa juste valeur.
    ___ # Elle Milano – Acres Of Dead Space Cadets : Un groupe qui ne se prend pas au serieux aux paroles sarcastique a mort. J’adore j’adhere. Meme si les demos m’ont plus marqué que l’album, je devais quand meme parler de ce groupe et attends avec impatience qu’ils se fassent connaître en France !
    ___ # J – URGE : Puissant, punk, rock, sueur, testostérone, hombre… Du J quoi.
    ___ # Joy Division – Unknown Pleasures : En 2007, je n’avais aucune idée qu’il existait un groupe du nom de Joy Division. En 2008 je me rend compte que je suis débile et decouvre la puissance Joy Division et comprend beaucoup mieux pourquoi cet album fait partie des albums cultes du rock anglais.
    ___ # The Kills – Midnight Boom : Il m’a fallu 30 secondes chrono pour adorifier cet album. Pourtant je n’adhérais pas du tout a la musique de The Kills auparavant. Le seul défaut que je puisse lui trouver est sa durée de 30 minutes.
    ___ # Sia – Colour the Small One : J’ai beau me creuser le cerveau je ne trouve pas de mot pour décrire Sia. Juste magnifique.
    ___ # Emily Jane White – Dark Undercoat : D’habitude le genre folk féminin m’emmerde au plus haut point. Un peu comme Sia, Emily Jane White a quelque chose de plus. Je ne saurai dire quoi par contre. Une pochette laide qui cache un bijou.

    Mais aussi…
    ___ – Yoav – Charmed & Strange : Titre d’album est assez explicite.
    ___ – Nneka – No Longer At Ease : Pas aussi puissant que son premier opus mais ca reste du Nneka c'est-à-dire le bien de la soul.

    ET LES GAGANTS MID 2008 SONT…



    ___ # ムック – 志恩:
    Un album très différent de ce qu’ils faisaient avant mais tout en restant du ムック. Aucune chanson ne se ressemble mais le tout reste homogène. ムック explore des sons différents ne se contenant pas au rock. Au début ça surprend énormément. Apres on aime ou on n’aime pas. Moi j’ai ADORE ! Il faisait partie des albums que j’attends le plus en 2008 donc j’en attendais beaucoup. ムック ne m’ont pas déçu :D Seule petite déception : L’absence de chansons brise cœur comme ils ont la recette.

    ___ # N*E*R*D – Seeing Sounds :
    Apres 4 ans d’absence, une separations temporaire, un album solo signé Pharrell fort decevant, la sortie de cet album m’effrayait un peu. Est-ce que Pharrell allait nous concocter un In My Mind 2 ou bien son comparse Chad Hugo aura assez de force pour contrer son plan auto destructeur ? Ce dernier a du bien faire son boulot parce que cet album est une merveille. Certaines chansons me rappelle la douleur que j’avais vécu a l’ecoute de In My mind mais cela s’efface au fil du temps.

  • Spoiled Rich Girls and B-List Actresses

    20 Jul 2008, 19:39 by lostmyway

    I've noticed a growing trend in Hollywood between spoiled little rich girls and B-list actresses. That trend... releasing an album. Just off the top of my head... Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, Brooke Hogan, Heidi Montag, and now... Hayden Panettiere. Why oh Why do these chicks think that just because they can act (not really... but whatever), or have a rich relative or were on some Vh1 reality show, they think they can sing too? It doesn't work that way. Not one of them has released anything that would be considered good by... well, anyone.

    Another thing that grinds my gears (channeling Peter Griffin here), is when Britney Spears is grouped in with them. Now I don't mean to sound all Chris Crocker-ish here, but Britney Spears has been working since the early 90's. She has worked more than these chicks have ever even dreamed of, and it's noticeable from the roughly 18 million scrobble difference between Britney and the rest of them.

    This also applies to musicians who think they are actors. I'm so sick of seeing artists who just put out a debut album quoted as saying "Well... now I want to try acting!" Yes, because after a week of releasing your debut album... you've already conquered all that can be in the music world.

    Sorry, I just had to get this mini-rant out.
