So… después de meses de contrariedades y corajes, al fin conseguí mi nuevo juguete musical. Sí, será entry level audio interface y todo lo que quieran, pero funciona a las mil maravillas para mis necesidades.

De hecho, ya tengo planes de uso para esta cosa, en la medida que vaya aprendiendo a tocar bien. Aún no diré nada, pero esperen algo bonito para el próximo 2010.

Update: A freebie!

Kyuss - “Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop”

The genre of stoner rock probably has a somewhat maligned reputation, by virtue of its misleading name. Certainly, the genre used to be known for its artists and fans being stoners — it’s said that the effects of marijuana complement the music quite well — but there’s no reason anybody can’t enjoy it, provided slow-to-mid tempo, low-tuned guitars, melodic vocals, and a whole lot of bass sounds good to you.

Stoner rock’s influences go right back to the 1960s if you look hard enough, with the likes of Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Grateful Dead, and Iron Butterfly being notable influencers. But Kyuss are said to have made the first true stoner rock album with “Blues for the Red Sun” in 1992. The release of “Welcome to Sky Valley” (1994) marks their finest point, as far as I’m concerned, and this track is from that album.

The most interesting thing to note about Kyuss, for my money, is the history of its band members. Josh Homme was one of Kyuss’ only continuous members, who of course later went on to form Queens of the Stone Age. That’s the most notable mention, but far from the only one: members of Kyuss at one point or another have been responsible for great bands like Fu Manchu, Eagles of Death Metal, Slo Burn, and Mondo Generator. Stoner rock seems like a fairly incestuous genre in that respect, with a lot of bands sharing members, which is true, but it was also a lot of shared talent, and they’ve been responsible for producing a lot of music that still sounds great today, 17 years after Kyuss started making music, and 14 years after Kyuss broke up.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - “Hanuman”

A strange thing happened to me this morning. As I was sifting through my unplayed podcasts, something emerged from my speakers that I wasn’t sure I’d ever heard before. It sounded like it rocked, it felt like it rocked, but it was early and I hadn’t yet had a reasonable amount of coffee, so I wasn’t sure my brain could be trusted. I asked a few friends with good music taste if my uncaffeinated brain was playing tricks on me, and as it turns out, I was right; this music rocked.

The rocking music in question is Rodrigo y Gabriela, a Mexican guitar duo with a flair for metal-infused flamenco. Yes, you read that correctly, they basically play acoustic Mexican folk metal. And it rocks. “Hanuman”, the lead-off track to the band’s latest record, 11:11 (which is a collection of 11 songs, each dedicated to a specific artist), is dedicated to Carlos Santana and features some breakneck guitaring with a Santana-esque feel. How could that not rock?

Metric - “Help I’m Alive” (80Kidz remix)

Just when I thought I was going to have to retire Metric’s wonderful “Help I’m Alive” from my personal playlist due to over-listening, 80Kidz has gone and reworked it into a dancier, equally wonderful version of itself. Brilliance!

“

Why would you use a full on, heavy pair of headphones when you’re out and about? The people that do this are such fucking posers and look ridiculous.

“I have a passion for music, I want good quality no matter where I am, I don’t want people disturbing me”. You can get all this from earbuds. You’re walking about, probably on your way to college or work, there’s no need for fucking huge ass things.

Sí, bueno, en un principio los 凛として時雨 no me agradaron mucho, las voces me parecían más bien intolerables. Pero la semana pasada decidí darles otra oportunidad y definitivamente son un “acquired taste” al menos para mí.
