The Teenagers

Listening my favorite station (Reactor 105.7 ) I heard a new band, they are "They Teenagers"

They have a pretty good sound, you can listen their musice while you are trying to forget anything about your life and listen anything about the life of others, or maybe I feel it because it was one of my worse months of this year :-S

You can get news about them from their official site (http://theteenagers.blogspot.com) or at their space (myspace.com/theteenagers)

Here's the video of their first single "Homecoming"



Listen them an leave me your comments about their songs and video. It's a quiet sound, and I just imagine listening them and driving on the highway on my vacations or Holiday, forgeting anything that I'm leaving behind.

Radio Vago's first album

After too much time I bought the unique Radio Vago's first album named as the band itself (Radio Vago) (only available at iTunes)

After listened it several times I just have to say: "WOW RADIO VAGO RULES!!!!!!!!"

Their sound is just better than good, it's awesome!!!!!!!!!, if you like listening Funeral for a friend, Lost prophets, Power man 5000, they are an Alternative rock band, unfortunately after recording their first album they just separate.

You can review their history at the wikipedia, a brief part of it is:

Radio Vago was originally formed in 1999 in Los Angeles as Radio Vagobond before changing its name. The band has released one EP and has been featured on compilations. The band recorded their full-length record which was produced by Omar Rodriguez of experimental rock band The Mars Volta, but the band broke up prior to its release, and it was only released for download.

The band consists of:
Mire Molnar - vocals
Jen Gillaspy - guitar
Olivia Parriott - keyboards
Jenny Vassilatos - drums
Nicole Fiorentino - bass
Sara Gross - saxophone


About the album, my favorite tracks are:
If today (this is the hymn to begin my day rocking)
The Sinking (This one rocks!!!!)
The Watcher
Neo Pacifiers
Radar
Memetik
Love and Thieves



If you have the oportunity just get this album, this is a recomendation with two thumbs up :-D

Avatars

Maybe it could be worthless but I don't care, hahahahahahaha.

Many times we use Avatars to display our image or feelings through Instant Messaging, Forums, emails, blogs and other places where we can say with an image how you are at that moment, many of them are too funny and others too sad.

Here are some of them that I use, I'm thinking about a new one for this second half of the year, but I don't get any idea.























































What do you think about avatars? and
what are yours?

Ima Robot in Mexico

The past tuesday I got one of the best news in my life, Ima Robot comes to Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible, I never thought those guys would come for this year.

They played at "Septimo Piso" (7th floor)
The sponsor for this event were "Revista Marvin", it's a magazine about music, I'll be buying many of their issues, then I'll tell you more about them.

I got 2 tickets free by Reactor 105.7 a radio station from Mexico City, they play rock and many alternative bands that are beginning, it's just fine but it could be better.

Now, about the concert, WOW it was incredible, those guys are exceptional, they turn all the people on just showing off in the scenario. All of them were great. The first song was (if I'm not wrong) "Dynomite" wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaa, after the first minute two guys began a fight between them, hey, they really hurt one to another I just see their faces and mouths bleeding in excess, my friend was freaked about it but then the party get better.

I cannot remember very well the set-list but I'm pretty sure they played the following songs (please ignore the order :-P ):

Dynomite (the beginning)
Alive
Disconnect
STD Dance
Dirty life
Let's talk turkey
12 = 3 (Here come the doctors)
Here come the bombs
Creeps me out
Eskimo ride
Lovers in captivity (The last one)

Aditionally they played two new songs, Alex Ebert said that one of those comes in a new realese for June.

I couldn't take too much pictures (it was a playing that I enjoyed instead of taking blog details :-P ), I share the best ones that I could take.















Finally this is the flyer that was used to promote this event by 7th floor.




Guys of Ima Robot really roooooooock!!!!!!!! and I hope you come back to Mexico soon.

New Discs to enjoy a Long Weekend

Last Thursday and Friday were holidays in Mexico so that I decided to buy new discs to enjoy it at home (there are too many people outside Mexico City and every beach and tourist place has a lot of tourist from Mexico City, it's not a good time to have vacations if you really want to rest :-P hehehehe).

I bought the following:
The Greatest - Cat Power







Teatro Metropólitan - Ely Guerra (Special edition 2 discs)







Sonamos Pese a Todo - Les Luthiers








All of them are good choices for a quiet weekend, specially Ely Guerra and Cat Power on the other hand if you want to have a funny weekend you should listen Les Luthiers, they are from Argentina and unfurtunately you need to have a good understanding of spanish if you want to get all their pranks, I wrote about them a time ago in Spanish and in English (you can see videos in the spanish section).

It was AWESOME, AMAZING, something never seen by me. The second song (I don't remember the first one) was "Liberty Bell", Anneke was simply TERRIFIC, wow, her voice and her energy in communication with all of us was incredible. The sounds, emotions and waves.

There are no words for this concert only INCREDIBLE.

I hope you guys have enjoyed this concert as much as we did.

The Gathering in Mexico City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorites bands is The Gathering, a band that is associated with Dark, Metal, Doom Metal and similar, currently it's a band of Progessive rock, Alternative rock and Ambient music.

They are from Netherlands, their sound and image is pretty singular, that's why they are a best band from this world :-).

Their current members are:
Anneke van Giersbergen - lead singer/guitars
René Rutten - guitars / flute
Marjolein Kooijman - bass
Hans Rutten - drums
Frank Boeijen - keyboards

Their first album was released in 1992, its name is: Always..., but in the second half of 1990's they came to fame, at the same time as Anneke van Giersbergen joined the band and honestly, she is a milestone for this band, they were completed up to her arrived.

Up to date they have 8 studio albums:

Always...	1992
Almost a dance	1993
Mandylion	1995
Nighttime Birds	1997
How to measure a planet?	1998
if then else	2000
Souvenirs	2003
Home	2006

If you look for them at Wikipedia you'll get more information.

About the concert, it was soooooooooooooooo AMAZING, there are no enough words to describe all the emotions and feelings that I felt that night, René Rutten was amazing at the guitars, Hans Rutten played so perfect, Frank Boeijen at the background and with an important part of the whole concert, Marjolein Kooijman was so expledid at the bass now she is one of my favorites bass ;-), and Anneke van Giersbergen was so AWESOME on both singing and playing the guitar, she is so pretty, beautiful and has a sign that can freeze and enchant everybody, if you don't believe me just take a look to the following picture and you'll understand what I'm talking about.



All of them look like enjoyed the concert as much as we did.


unfortunately I don't have time to post any more about this concert, just give me a couple of days, and I'll post pictures about it.

San Felipe, Estado de Mexico

The last weekend I went to San Felipe, a town from Estado de Mexico, Mexico, it's located at 44 kilometers (aprox) from Toluca to the north.

It's a quiet and very peaceful place, the people is very humble and pretty kind, every person that I found there just said me hello, good morning, good evening and goodbye. Maybe those are simple things, but up to day many of us have forgotten it and we are only thinking about our business without paying attention to the persons that are beside us.

There you can eat Barbacoa, a traditional dish from Mexico, in many towns from Estado de Mexico they prepare a pretty good and tasty barbacoa, if you have the oportunity just don't doubt and taste it with a good beer in your right hand :-D

I drove 1:45 hrs on the highway, it was a so nice trip, the traklist for this was:

Apocalypse release - Muse
Sing for absolution - Muse
Stockholm syndrome - Muse
Hysteria - Muse
Endlessly - Muse
Creeps me out - IMA Robot
Disconnect - IMA Robot
Happy Annie - IMA Robot
Dangerous life - IMA Robot
Seventeen seconds - The Cure
M - The Cure
A reflection - The Cure
Secrets - The Cure
Boys don't cry - The Cure
Cut here - The Cure
Lovecats - The Cure
Temptation - The Cure
Close to me - The Cure
Just like heaven - The Cure
Believer - Kill Hannah
The collapse - Kill Hannah
Crazy Angel - Kill Hannah

And others that I have forgotten but they did this trip a complete pleasure.











Obviously the Crown of the storm came with me :-D





Have fun

A funny commercial from EDS trilogy

A Crimson Place: A funny commercial from EDS trilogy

The third commercial.

This is the third commercial from EDS, it's about building airplanes.

I agree more with this vision of what do the developers, software architects, programmers, testers, project managers and others do on our daily activities :-).

Drovell: From Mexico To The World

This is a band from Mexico, they are four members and have a good sound. Yesterday I went to a show of them on a bar named Purpura at Mexico City.

They sound likely Dildo, Sunshine Underground, obviously with their respective diferences.

You should hear them, they are a good choice for a new sound and getting new music.


This is my advice for this week.

A new recommendation

Hi, I found this new group reviewing www.myspace.com/radiovago, one of their members now is part of Veruca Salta (www.myspace.com/verucasalt).

They sound pretty well, I'm looking for an album of them and then I'll write more about them and principally their sounds, silences and more.

Meanwhile here's a promotional banner of their latest album (up to date)
