Satin Dolls


One month ago I found Karen's Space, she is the vocalist of Satin Dolls, a Mexican rock band with a singular sound and composition. Karen has a pretty voice, her tones, screams and words give a special taste to their songs.

This monday I just find their first E.P., if you are looking for a retro soft punk sound you should get it.

They have 2 versions of many songs, one in english and other in spanish, for example: Vuelve (Spanish version) is Maybe (English version)

I really like very much their song named: "Vuelve". The electro sounds and Karen's voice are a pretty good combination.

This year the Satin Dolls have been playing in several places in Mexico, for example: Bulldog, Hard Rock Live and Pasaguero. And they are working on their first album.

By the way, after you saw the pictures of Karen, you will understand why I found her in MySpace, hehehe, she is so pretty and sexy, there's no doubt about it.

I leave you two videos of their songs:

Vuelve by Satin Dolls (Maybe - english version)





Dulce Obsesión by Satin Dolls (Sweet Lust - english version)





Have a great Friday.

Transformers

By Michael Bay, this is a movie of the Transformers a cartoon of 1980's, it's an amazing film with impressive visual effects and a good story. The best parts are all the scenes were Megan Fox shows up, wow she is really a beauty.

Here's the trailer of this movie. If you have the oportunity to go to the cinema and watch this film you should, it worths too much.




Transformers movie's theme




P.S. Don't drink too much water or soda before watching the film, its duration is about 2 hours and 20 min, and if you drank too much then you'll miss a great part of that movie.

A little green bag

Who doesn't remember this song? well, maybe not all of you know the name, but this is the first song played in Reservoir Dogs a film by Quentin Tarantino.

This weekend I bought the soundtrack of this film, it's nothing but awesome, I just began to listen this disc and a lot of old memories came to my mind, wooowww an incredible amount of sounds and images that were buried for a long long time.

Listening "Stuck in the middle with you" you'll automatically will remember that "ear cut" scene, and the singular movements of Mr Yellow, chuckle. I really love this movie, Reservoir Dogs is a master piece by Tarantino, you don't know what is going to happen in the next scene up to you are watching the credits and you begin to link all the stories.

Here's the promotional trailer of this film, if you haven't watched it, you should. It's a good movie, and as any movie directed by Tarantino, it has a lot of violence and blood (one of the Tarantino's sign)




Have a great weekend.

Diegue.

This is called: The Black Magic Show


As the title says, the latest album of Elefant is named: The Black Magic Show.

Elefant is an Indie Rock Band, their members are:
Diego García - Vocals
Jeff Berrall - Bass
Mod - Guitars
Kevin McAdams - Drums

They have a good sound, and several songs have a characteristic rythm that you want to hear again, again and again. Many lyrics are existencialist and this is like the sign of Elefant for each song.

I just listened this disc and inmediatly this band got a place on my 40 best rock bands :-D. They are a very new band, their first album was released on April 2003, The black magic show was released on April 2006 (3 years later), you can find a difference between their discs, not a big one but it's notorios the band's grew up.

Their vocalist Diego Garcia is being considered as a new sex symbol of rock, just a curious note, I don't know if really it is or just their fans consider him in that way.

As usual, I leave you a video of one of their songs, this time it's "Lolita" from "The Black Magic Show", listen them and let me know your opinions.




Personally my favorite songs from this band are:

  1. My Apologies

  2. Black Magic Show

  3. Sunlight makes me paranoid

  4. Lolita

  5. The clown

  6. Make up

  7. Now that I miss her



Have a nice week.

Vicious Delicious

The last wednesday I bought Vicious Delicious by Infected Mushroom, they are an Israeli duo, their music style is psychedelic trance or sounds like pyscho. Infected Mushroom are: Erez Eizen (I.Zen) and Amit Duvdevani (Duvdev) both from the city of Haifa, located in the northern parts of Israel.

I knew them by listening their albums: Im the supervisor and Classical Mushroom and I really like them since the first time that I listen their songs. They have an original sound and use different kinds of rythms to make their psycho sound better in each disc.

Vicious Deliciuos is not the exception for they singular rythms, sounds and silences, they are serious when doing music. My favorite songs for this disc are:

  1. Forgive me

  2. Becoming insane

  3. Artillery



This new disc comes in a great time, when they are touring around the world and after a period of 3 years without a new release since Im the supervisor in 2004, I just can say: "It was a worth waiting :-D".

I leave a video from youtube.com of their first track from this album: Becoming insane.




This disc is a five stars worth buy if you like of electronic and psycho music ;-), if you don't maybe you should listen many songs from their space and then get your own decision about if you like them or not.

If you have listened Infected Mushroom, please leave a comment and tell me what do you think about them and their sound.


Have a great week.

Cuando tienes un sueño y haces todo para conseguirlo.

Navengado por Internet me encontré con la siguiente animación, es bastante buena y me dejó sin palabras la primera vez que la vi, sinceramente es bastante emotiva.

En pocas palabras: Cuando tienes un sueño debes hacer todo lo que es posible para conseguirlo, no importa hasta donde te lleven tus sueños.

Tal vez con eso se puede explicar el porque me comporto de cierta manera en diversas ocasiones.


When you look for a dream and you must get it.

Today I was surfing at Internet and I found the following video, it´s great and I hope you find it as good as I do.


In resume: when you look for a dream, you must do anything to achieve it, it doesn´t matter where your dream will take you :'-)

We are dangerous and we are moving

Chuckle, the last weekend I went to a world of magic and fantasy, it was great, obviously, with a trip there's always good music to listen.

This time I began it listening the tATu girls, I like them more than their music, and I have to admit that they sound pretty good, well the first song was:

Dangerous and moving



Then the random played other songs of theirs, but I don't know how to write their name because they are in russian :-S, I only can say that those songs are from their debut album at Russia.

After these songs, I listened Streetcar by Funeral For a Friend



Then Duran Duran was played and their more famous songs: Come undone, Ordinary World, Too Much Information, etc.




then I cannot remember the songs that were played, but they were adhoc to the moment, I just was seeing the sky and the stars, as I said a trip to a world of magic and fantasy.

Turismo Cup, Mexico

First of all I apologize for not posting these days but, you know, when you have business to do you have to take time from another hobbies.

Well, today I was at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez, it was another date for Turismo Cup Mexico (Copa Turismo México), this Cup has many categories, there are a category with stock cars (1.6 liters, 100 HPs) like Chevy (Corsa B in Europe made by Opel), Chevy C2 (exclusive mexican car made by Chevrolet, mine is one of them), Mexican Pointer (made by VolksWagen) and Beetle (the old one by VolksWagen). I like these races because you can see everything that a daily car can do in certain conditions. In certain categories the cars are just modified from their suspension and tires ONLY. In other categories many cars are tubulars and have awesome engines.

Here are many videos that I got from there, but it´s better to be there :-D, unfortunately I had issues with YouTube.com and I couldn't upload more videos :-S, I´ll post them ASAP.

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.

The band consists of:
Mire Molnar - vocals

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).
