  • Quick reviews 3

    4 déc. 2009, 6h26m par dx_xb

    Dr. No's Ethiopium - Oh No [2009]
    Instrumental hip-hop with okay beats. Kind of hit or miss song-wise.

    Real Estate - Real Estate [2009]
    Sounds like a Death Cab for Cutie demo, but with more post-rock and a dash of shoegaze influence.
    The vocals are distorted so that it sounds like your in the room next to the singer, and you've got your head pressed up against the wall struggling to hear him sing.
    I do like Snow Days quite a bit though.

    Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones - Aceyalone [2009]
    A rap tribute to 50's/60's pop music.
    A fun album, with an interesting idea, that's executed well.

    Collaborations ep - Amon Tobin and guests [2009]
    A rather unremarkable release for amon tobin, but excellent release for anyone else.

    Get Color - HEALTH [2009]
    Catchy mixture of rock and electronic with dreamy, disconnected vocals and delicious jungle drums.

    The Bay of Future Passed - Microfilm [2009]
    One of my favorite post-rock bands.
    I didn't like this as much as their previous releases.
    ÉcouterBlood Sample is such a good track though. I suppose the band thought so as well since they included a piano rendition of the melody as the last song on the album.

    an anxious object - Mouse On The Keys [2009]
    Post-rock with piano and sometimes jazz too.
    Wavers between boring and bad.

    Polly Scattergood - Polly Scattergood [2009]
    Gentle indie pop with female lead singer
    There's a heavy emphasis on the lyrics, which kinda suck
    There's not very many female-fronted bands I like, and I feel bad about this.

    There Will be fireworks - There Will Be Fireworks [2009]
    Post-rock with a singer who has a heavy Scottish accent.
    The accent makes me dawwwwww.

    Daisy - Brand New [2009]
    A pistache 90's alt rock sound with a little bit emo/screamo vocals thrown in.
    Not that great.

    Gutter Tactics - dälek [2009]
    Moody rap with rock/metal samples.
    Almost sounds like they sample SUNN O)) or Sleep or something similar on Who Medgar Evers Was...
    Los Macheteros / Spear of a Nation has a power electronic feel to the beat.

    3P - MNDSGn [2009]
    Clumsy mixing of beats that don't really go together

    just A moment - 凛として時雨 [2009]
    j-rock/pop
    I'm not very knowledgeable about Japanese music, but it doesn't stick out to me as being very good or bad.

    Moen - Immanu El [2009]
    Post rock with hushed, crooning vocals. Has that typical Christian band sound.
    I have nothing against Christian bands; I'm just against boring ones.

    Further Complications - Jarvis Cocker [2009]
    Terrible, like 70's rock, but without any of the soul.
    I hate the lead singers voice so much.

    Seek Magic - Memory Tapes [2009]
    Neo-disco sound with ambient and idm undertones
    Good, but not for me.

    Eating Us - Black Moth Super Rainbow [2009]
    J-pop plus Boards of Canada and 70's prog.
    Enjoyable twee album.

  • My views on the Grammy nominations.

    3 déc. 2009, 3h13m par tjms

    Just got done watching the Grammy nomination concert on TV. I'm slightly disappointed with this years nominations. Black Eyed Peas, Taylor Swift, Kings Of Leon, Lady GaGa, and Beyoncé all had a bunch of nominations. I think the category that most upset me was Album of the Year. Nominees were:
    Beyoncé
    Black Eyed Peas
    Lady GaGa
    Dave Matthews Band
    Taylor Swift

    However, I looked on grammy.com and the Best Alternative Music Album nominees are pretty good. They are:

    Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
    Brian Eno & David Byrne

    The Open Door
    Death Cab for Cutie

    Sounds Of The Universe
    Depeche Mode

    Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
    Phoenix

    It's Blitz!
    Yeah Yeah Yeahs

    & the Best New Artist nominees are OK. (2 of them are, anyway)

    Zac Brown Band
    Keri Hilson
    MGMT
    Silversun Pickups
    The Ting Tings


    Overall, glad to see Phoenix, Silversun Pickups, Pearl Jam, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and MGMT nominated.
    That being said, I still think a lot of the nominations suck. That's my opinion. Last year seemed better because Radiohead was nominated and performed (well, Jonny & Thom did).

    There. I'm done.

  • Divagações Sonoras #6 - Cultura pop: Mais Radiohead... Mais Lady GaGa...

    1 déc. 2009, 1h28m par RaulRoque


    Uma pequena análise da cultura midiática atual...
    Por Raul Roque - São Paulo/SP - 30 de Novembro de 2009


    Meados de 2003, 2004... Estava mais um dia na casa da minha vó, compondo alguma ocasião familiar usual. Estava na cozinha, comendo alguma coisa, quando repentinamente uma música atrai meus olhos ao televisor. Estava na MTV e o clipe, era de ÉcouterThe Scientist, do Coldplay. Nessa época não conhecia quase nada sobre os britânicos e não precisa nem dizer que essa foi minha música favorita durante muito tempo, não é mesmo? Lembro que na época também gostava de R.E.M. - ao menos um pouco mais do que atualmente, ainda considerando que hoje conheço mais do que antes - e tinha uma leve e, talvez inconsciente, admiração pelos anos oitenta. Aos poucos fui conhecendo o mundo da música mais a fundo e percebendo algumas situações e conceitos inusitados. A partir de então comecei a me enturmar: visitar grupos de discussões, observar as reações de cada um, conhecer as perspectivas de cada ouvinte. Tudo isso agregou bastante. Aproximadamente em 2005, 2006, Coldplay acabara de lançar seu quarto e popularmente aclamado álbum de estúdio. Essa foi mais ou menos a época em que eles começaram a ser concebidos, por significativa parte dos seus fãs, como "pop", grudento e meloso demais. Houve-se então, o início do divisor de águas e a minha primeira e definitiva experiência com o movimento cultural que minava-se naqueles dias: a postura "underground." Pode até parecer que esse fato tenha sido esvanecido atualmente e, para o nosso bem, muitos dos jovens hoje em dia conseguem distinguir, com boa autonomia, o que é bom pra ele e o que não é bom. Consegue ter, felizmente, senso crítico próprio. Mas as coisas não eram bem assim alguns anos atrás...

    Hoje em dia a postura "underground" é comungada, em maior parte, por indivíduos jovens, que necessitam se impor, adquirir auto-segurança e, antes de mais nada, deter a plenitude máxima do tão objetivado conhecimento, tanto no campo musical quanto no intelectual. Geralmente ela é feita por pessoas solitárias, reclusas em seus particulares e quase impartilháveis espaços. Elas querem ser únicas e diferentes. Porém, há de se haver extremo cuidado nessas afirmações: o movimento "underground" é constituído basicamente da atitude de se vangloriar por conhecer artistas obscuros e, principalmente, caçoar tudo o que beira à rotulação pop. Mas veja bem, estamos falando de 2005 e 2006, e não dos tempos atuais, que mudou levemente em relação ao que nos deparávamos antes. O blogueiro que aqui escreve denomina a revista digital norte-americana Pitchfork como uma das responsáveis pela cultura indie/alternativa no mundo nos tempos modernos. Ela talvez seja o equivalente ao Google aos indies nativos. Não foi ela, mas ajudou, a ascender o Radiohead na América. Isto posto, voltemos a 2005... Tempo em que Coldplay começou a perder seus Radiohead's fãs em virtude da sonoridade mais palatável, acessível e afetuosa. O Coldplay trilhava ao pop com hinos como ÉcouterFix You, ÉcouterSpeed Of Sound e ÉcouterThe Hardest Part. A crítica especializada não gostou nada disso, argumentando que eles perdiam a essência e inspiração dos tempos áureos - e rock - de "Parachutes" e "A Rush Of Blood To The Head", sendo este último, o álbum predileto de quem venera guitarras e sons mais robustos. O Coldplay virava sentimental, quase "emo"... Em outras palavras, dispensável aos orgulhosos e conservadores que sedentos são por experimentações sônicas e coisas que, por si só, soem estranhas, porque a cultura Creep havia se consolidado. A cultura "Creep" de forma alguma é algo maléfico; talvez pelo contrário: as pessoas começaram a se interessar por música e a levá-la de uma forma muito mais séria. Todos aqueles excluídos, que não tinham nenhuma dominância social, que tinham aversão pelo pop medíocre, superficial e nefasto que borbulhava-se na indústria, foram incentivados a refletir e a chegar a conclusão de uma triste confirmação: que eles de fato eram miseravelmente excluídos. Assim como a cultura "Creep" teve seus prós, ela teve seus contras: a arrogância, presunção, cinismo e vaidade tomaram-se conta dessas pessoas de uma forma horrendamente impressionante. Era como se fosse uma resposta radical à cultura amigável e vivaz que eclodia-se constantemente entre os adolescentes. Éramos preto, não mais coloridos, porque o preto é sério, porque o preto é luto, porque o preto é neutro, porque o preto é um protesto. Radiohead em termos culturais chega próximo ao Nirvana, a meu ver, e é por isso que devemos chamá-los de fenômenos contemporâneos. Eles acertaram em cheio o espírito da época. São fenômenos, não muito pelo talento e competência (ênfase ao pobre lírico), entretanto pela influência imensurável que jorraram - e jorram - no indie. O Radiohead também acertou no zeitgeist em termos de experimentações na música (experimentações inusitadas (Kid A): fazer isso, com o rock, é mitificação na certa). Esse fator, óbvio, atraiu e atrai muitos dos seus assíduos.

    Então estávamos lá... Com o Coldplay, o expoente do Radiohead e uma das bandas mais promissoras, sendo gradualmente desconsiderado, porque virava pop. Virava pop alegre e bobinho, segundo projeções dos que reprovaram o novo perfil da banda. Estávamos nos anos 2000s. Ano das megalópoles. Ano dos crescimentos tecnológicos desenfreados. Ano da superficialidade. Ano da artificialidade. Ano da melancolia. O ambiente é propício ao Radiohead e aos seus inúmeros filhos largados pelo mundo... E também é propício a mais uma menina, natural de Nova Iorque, que faz eletropop e teria tudo pra estar no lugar errado e na época errada: Lady GaGa. O "hippie" da GaGa está em fase de crescimento atualmente... O "The Fame" não foi inteiramente bem compreendido e aprovado, mas o seu figurino, sua audácia, sua excentricidade, sua singularidade e sua arrojada personalidade, a fizeram ganhar expressiva alocação até mesmo no alternativo. O "The Fame Monster", CD bônus e extensão do seu antecedente, captura parcialmente a aura que inclusive o Radiohead suportou durante algum período. Mesmo sendo descaradamente pop, GaGa tem o hippie a seu favor. O mesmo hippie de diversas bandas no alternativo. Ainda que não tenha sido intenção de Thom, aquela imagem que muitos veem dele pela internet (esta acima, por exemplo), ponderado e analítico, se tornou uma representação fiel do movimento culto-jovial que tem ele como um dos principais líderes.

    E o alternativo finalmente consegue ser pop em 2009, com Crepúsculo, que traz Muse, Death Cab for Cutie, Radiohead e vários outros artistas nebulosos, enigmáticos, góticos, com estigma intelectual e melancólicos que produziu-se ultimamente. E esse sem dúvida alguma não é o fim. Porque o zeitgeist manda (não entender como referência ao famoso e contraditório filme, mas sim ao sentido literal da palavra, que significa, em alemão, o espírito da época). Porque os tempos são outros. Porque o ser humano tem se tornado cada vez menos importante pra si mesmo... Ele precisa de respostas, se valorizar de alguma forma. Ele está triste. E está hostil, desprotegido e vulnerável, porque foi deixado em segundo plano. Em primeiro está - e sempre esteve - o capitalismo.

    O meu medo é que a hipocrisia ainda prevaleça.
