no quise verlo ayer para no arruinarme la sorpresa de mañana.
no sé qué dice la gente que fue a M83... pero se me hace una banda para ver en full set, cero en festival.

uffffff

it struck me that the people you choose to work with, to surround yourself with in life and those you choose to love –these people say as much about you as you could ever hope to express in your own words.” –Kindness

excerpt





so if you´re in love or in pain, this might just be your medicine.


download all.

clouds

are the origin of dreams.

no surprise here

the song hadn´t even gone 5 seconds through and i knew the hype was true.
though i predict this is just a crumb of what the album´ll be. i´ve been waiting for this one for a while.

they´re cominggg and the line-up´s INSANE.



playing with my best friend/a couple of talented young musicans.

yes, this time, i´m bragging.

agua

rainy days & heartbreaks

dream is in this heart. season in these years

Noise

nicolas jaar is my favorite thing to happen to music in seconds.

gracias jose.

his new album does a great job at swaying me to sleep, though i´m not sure if the previous sustains my statement too well.



i´m obviously attracted to his space is only noise title, also part of my "metabiography".

HEALTH INTERVIEW

HEALTH on PFAS Interview from Jose Manuel Espínola on Vimeo.

via PFAS

as i mentioned a couple of posts back, i was scheduled to interview HEALTH when they visited d.f some time back...
for reasons that go beyond my own physical capabilities/internal GPS, i didn´t make the interview, long story short, i got lost in a horrible part of downtown, horrible to the point of thinking i would never see daylight...
a good samaritan actually got into his car and escorted me to where i was going. even though in mexico city, this could also be a trap (yes, you read correctly, trap), his intentions were pure; it was the desperation on my face.

HEALTH one of the best live shows i´ve seen in 011.
the lost and thinking i was going to die part was worth it.

ps. HEALTH mentions PICTUREPLANE in this interview, some friends claim he´s the best thing to happen to music in seconds, now it´s all clearer...
HEALTH being one of those bands that´re underrated, yet the quality of their sound is rare, they´re way way better live than on tape, it´s not something you can say about a lot of bands nowadays... Pictureplane played DF on friday, didn´t go bc i was out of town, but if he´s backed by HEALTH, he must be carrying a worthwhile gig, I see where those conclusions are coming from... even if in the end, it´s all about the post-punk nostalgia.

neverland

it´s difficult to resume what happened at sxsw because by now it´s all a blur. what i do know is that i never wanted it to end.
the downside of attending such a mind-bottling event is that you are forever inclined to frown upon bands playing huge venues. this had been the case beforehand, i´d always preferred to see bands at small joints (who doesn´t), but living austin i´m officially boycotting the whole thing.
the strokes, M.J huge? really? don´t get me wrong, i´m a huggeee strokes fan, but austin made the biggest fuss to see their show. i ended up seeing it on a bridge, way better than a three hour line. at least there i could sway from side to side.

james blake at fader with half the people talking/looking the other way? bummer. upside is i made friends with some rappers from L.A.

but charles bradley, mount kimbie, OMD, psychic tv, grimes, trentemøller, GAYNGS, !!!, glasser, and a couple of others i´ve blacked out on, killed, murdered, annhiliated it.

so if i could make one suggestion to people reading, is never ever ever go to sxsw. less lines for me.
it took forever to go, the festival is my age, and i´ve heard it´s changed so much, it´s mainstream now and blablabla, but isn´t everything mainstream nowadays?... i don´t know what it was before, or what that actually means, but i do believe you can still find those little spots still keeping it how it was intended to be kept. and if my analysis is off, it all basically felt amazing.





















ps. i made two notes to myself on my phone stating:
1. "michael cera is eye-fucking me."
2. "stupid people with initiative rock my world, but they don´t".
i´m thinking really hard to who i was referring to but i honestly cannot remember. i really wish i could, then i´d know where all my anger comes from...

DISCO RUIDO!/ SISTEMA SOLAR

me tardé en esta.. en fin.
me es un honor anunciar que mi hermana y soulmate mercedes ya tiene un disco circulando, ella escritora y vocalista, mancuerneando con julps y los originales disco ruídos en todo aquello que tiene que ver con sonido.
para los que no han escuchando, aquí les dejaré algo, y para los que sí, vayan vayan vayan a mixup y pidan sistema solar para que se aprendan las canciones.
estarán de vuelta por varias ciudades de méxico.

**este fin en querétaro.




y el último cover que le hicieron a caifanes

aire

if a soundtrack to your most mind blowing daydream, best dream, and worst nightmare existed, air would be behind it.

you and i

seems like this was just what i needed for hot afternoons/not being able to concentrate on work, in mexico city.
top post, washed out.

GIRA CÓMEME en MÉXICO
Feat. MATIAS AGUAYO, DIEGORS & REBOLLEDO
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

Después de posicionarse el año pasado como una de las casas disqueras mas propositivas, CÓMEME está listo para rechinarnos los dientes. Tras el éxito de las gira europeas y sudamericanas, tres de los artistas que han definido el sonido CÓMEME estarán juntos en MEXICO compartiendo los decks para nosotros. DIEGORS, REBOLLEDO Y MATÍAS AGUAYO vienen a enseñarnos que la experiencia en el DANCEFLOOR puede ser mucho mas rica que como la conociamos antes.
Para quienes todavía no están infectados por los húmedos sonidos de Cómeme, deben de saber que las miradas de la crítica internacional ha puesto especial atención en sus actividades; han fascinado (sobre todo en Europa) en como se han apropiado de los ritmos de las periferias latinoamericanas, unidos a los 4/4´s, han convertido sus tracks en poderosas JOYAS DE LA PISTA DE BAILE...

CUT ME UP

paso a escribir, para compartirles de una excelente colaboración q se dio entre mi universidad and two extremely talented mennn..
estos son toy selectah (control machete), zuzucu/blanquito man desde los new yors and a group of very lucky college people..
yo, incluída en esas... se trata de un taller q he llevado durante un año, (zona c) con diferentes colaboradores y directores.. este es el último q me tocará y el q cerrará con broche de oro..

el tema_ globalización
la técnica_ "the cut up technique"... una instituída por none other q william s. burroughs, inspirada por la corriete dadaista a principios de siglo.
***lo q se hace es q se corta y se pega, textos, sonidos, imágenes, y se crean nuevas a partir de un tipo de collage sonoro/visual.
ese es el proyecto_
la plataforma_ centro y MIMA which stands for the mental institute of music & art click click click on the link.. honey´s.
**MIMA desea ser una base de apoyo para proyectos nuevos, talentos emergentes y colaboraciones entre toda su red de contribuidores.
the outcome_ hoy pasamos varias horas en el estudio de grabación armando el track.. toy, como director de orquesta.

me quedé en shock al ver cómo estos hombres viven, respiran, hablan, cantan, bailan_ música, and they effing lay it out, as if it were breathing, or drinking water. MAGIC.

entonces... me senté, escuché, observé y pensé... i could do this my whole life.
grandes lecciones el día de hoy.
cada vez me doy más cuenta, lo tanto q me motiva la música, y lo feliz q me hace poder participar en un asunto así.

a new found respect.


so stay tuned....

PLANET HEALTH

When i arrived on planet health
In the state of being well
So i altered my self conscious messes
And body images

I visited the food pyramid
In the desert of vitamins
I found a desired heart rate
And a mouth to resuscitate

I am feeling great tonight
I am feeling great tonight
I am feeling great tonight
I am feeling great tonight

I was trained in diversity
In the garden of puberty
Where they heimlich maneuvered me
And they showed me how to make a baby

I found my friends in the forest of loves
Where we just said no to drugs
Our intercourse was well protected
We made love with each others' eyes

We're feeling great tonight
We're feeling great tonight
We're feeling great tonight
We're feeling great tonight

Then i found out where you're sent
When you're sick and sad and old
They kick you off of planet health
Into a universe of cold

Stop drop and roll
Just stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Gotta stop and put out the fire

Stop drop and roll
Just stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Gotta stop and put out the fire

Feeling great tonight
I am feeling great tonight
I am feeling great tonight
I am feeling great tonight


me encanta la letra de esta canción de chairlift, es tontísima..
stop drop and roll es mi parte favorita.
