KAYO DOT Coyote music review by EatThatPhonebook

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

After the disappointing “Blue Lambency Downward”, Kayo Dot return with a masterpiece: indeed, “Coyote” is so far the best abum of 2010, and the best album of the band since their wonderful debut “Choirs of The Eye”.

Every Kayo Dot fan knows how this band never keeps one style, but always changes, so every album is completely different from the rest: “Coyote” is not an exception.

The sound is much darker, more sinister, more alarmed, and definitely more down earth than the first three albums. Mainly the reason is that a dear friend of the band had died before the recording of this album, and so it was dedicated to the friend.

The structure of the album is also quite impressive: five songs, just like the debut, but differently put together, thanks to the two parts of “Abyss Hinge”, the center of the album.

All the songs are amazing: “Calonyction Girl” is one of the most successful representations of agony I’ve ever heard, “Whisper Ineffable” is a breathtaking, eleven minutes of alternated moods, from calm and tense, to wild and somewhat confusing, the two parts of “Abyss Hinge”, the first one short, instrumental, and full of different sounds, and the second part, long (thirteen minutes), and in some moments relaxing, some tense, and the ending song “Cartogram out of Phase”, even this short but interesting.

A brilliant album, that you should give a try if you’re into progressive music.

country & rock music song to burn?

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

AMANITA L'oblio music review by ClemofNazareth

Monday, September 6th, 2010

I’m a bit surprised to realize and admit I’ve been sitting on this disc for a few years now and have never really listened to it. I picked it up along with some stuff from a couple other Italian contemporary prog artists like Sad Minstrel (well recommended!) and Crystal Phoenix (not so much). this one was only a fraction cost of the Sad Minstrel CD; I can’t recall but I may have only thrown it in my order to round up the shopping cart total and qualify for free shipping or something.

So for whatever reason I never bothered to really listen to these songs before now, and am quite surprised to realize that this is a pretty decent album all things considered. this is contemporary Italian music (contemporary being relative with progressive music but in this case meaning it doesn’t predate the introduction of CDs or digital recordings). while it was released in the latter nineties the music here sounds much older, but there are enough neo-prog nuances here and there to place it in the past couple of decades.

The band offers up a pretty decent opening with some sultry saxophone, grooving guitar solo passages and plenty of piano and flute that hint just slightly at jazz-like structure and end up morphing with the guitar at the end for a strong and rock-tinged ending. “Quando verr il tempo” had the potential to be the strongest track on the album with a gorgeous guitar/flute/hand drum opening, but honestly Mario Sacco’s singing isn’t all that strong and I personally think this would have come across much more powerfully had it remained an instrumental.

The basic lineup of the band is pretty standard fare with electric guitar, keyboards, drums, bass and a lead singer. I suppose what pushes them into progressive folk territory are the acoustic guitars, accordion and flute that are present throughout but especially on the first half of the disc. toward the end and particularly with “Il diavolo dentro” the band retains the flute/acoustic motif during short passages but also veers off into heavier territory with strong electric guitar riffs and borderline metal percussion. That song finishes with a beautiful piano passage although the first several minutes are quite heavy.

The closing “Arjuna” has a little of everything. The opening seems influenced by the neo-progressive bands of the early eighties (check out “Quinta stagione” as well for some faintly Marillion-sounding riffs and vocals passages). at the same time persistent percussion and variations on repetitive instrumental themes are almost post-rock, while the flute flourishes are undeniably folksy and the closing is a blend of ambient and ethnic percussion. a very interesting composition.

This is a much better album than I thought when I first bought it, which just goes to show one really needs to take the time to get to know the music in their collection and not jump to quick judgments. a strong three of five star album and well recommended if you’re looking for something that blends a rock and folk foundation with Latin inflection.

Exploding In Sound (delivering good rock music since 2008): Tera …

Monday, September 6th, 2010

[spinner.com] Artist: Tera MelosHail from: Sacramento, Calif.Song: ’Frozen Zoo’Album: ‘Patagonian Rats’Sounds Like: The Flaming Lips, Health

In Their Words: “‘Frozen Zoo’ was a warped experiment on our version of a pop song. It was very unorthodox in how it was conceived/recorded. In the past we have tried to emphasize the atypical pieces of our music, but on this track the emphasis is pushed towards the simplicity found in nearly all elements of the song: Drums, guitars, melodies, structure etc. The trick is to then tweak those elements in an unusual way that can take the listener out of their comfort zone while still maintaining a classic ‘pop’ feel.” — Guitarist/vocalist Nick Reinhart

My Chemical Romance Tickets – See A Tragedy-spawned Rock Band …

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

When fans think of rock and roll, they usually think of happy times, celebrations, positive vibrations and the like, but have used My Chemical Romance tickets have seen something completely different. very often inspired to start bands because of their influence in a singer, songwriter, band or other, and they serve great inspiration during their time in the music scene? Ne. Again, My Chemical Romance is unique. a look at their formation and direction to help an understanding of what musicians are all about.BeginningsMy Chemical Romance formed in Newark, New Jersey in September 2001. clearly there is a terrible moment in U.S. history at that time, and band came together just a week after the attacks of September 11. Frontman Gerard way has personally witnessed the planes smashing into the Towers of the World Trade Center, shook him and such a case in point that he decided to take a new direction in life.way wrote a song entitled “Skylines and turnstiles” in response to September 11, and began to recruit new members of his band. New members are added, and the band got right to work to optimize the pure rock and roll sound in both stage and studio. The band was, and still is a very unique sound, and My Chemical Romance tickets are a very popular item in and around New York.Work albumThey released their first album in 2002, and if I brought you my bullets, you brought Me Your Love. Although the album was not enjoying commercial success on a wide scale of its release, catch the eye of a major record label, reprise Records signed the group and after this release.since then, My Chemical Romance made three consecutive albums, and each has enjoyed a more advanced degree of success. their 2004’s release, three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, climbed to number 28 on the U.S. album chart and went platinum. their latest album The Black Parade in 2006, climbed all the way to number two on the charts.despite their successful album, though, My Chemical Romance has always been known for their spine-tingling live performances. they are known to play with extreme energy, and the original band members never forget what happened that caused them to come together in the first place.If you do not use the My Chemical Romance tickets, you are losing a talented band was inspired by the tragic history, unlike most other acts all have experienced.

VARIOUS ARTISTS (LABEL SAMPLERS) Emkog Sampler music review by …

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

This special compilation represents Dan Britton’s involvement in several bands in a rather compactway. I must admit I’m completely new here, never had listened to his compositions before. Whenstarting to get into this the first conclusion was quickly obvious for me: he seems to be a restlesscontemporary, based on a well thought out schedule, seemingly living with and for music, mainlyprogressive rock music to be exact. Concerning the nine tracks included (some are excerpts ormastered differently) we have a time window starting around the year 2005 and ending in 2015 or so.Which means this also comprises demos and early versions of forthcoming music.

Two or three listening sessions are surely not enough to digest this tricky stuff whichstylistically unites symphonic, folk and jazz rock elements, to call up the main ingredients. WhereDan Britton cares for keyboards and some guitars all the way through you will also find PatrickGaffney (drums) and Brett d’Anon (bass) frequently listed when checking the line-up of the diverseproductions from which the tracks were picked up. The musical trip starts off with two uptemposongs. Deluge Grander’s The Solitude Of Miranda is provided with a solid symphonic fundament(Steve Howe reminiscent guitars included) and some ethno coloured folk elements, presented in arather eclectic way.

Taken from Birds and Buildings’ highly acclaimed ‘Bantam To Behemoth’ Birds Flying IntoBuildings makes up the album’s fireworks so to say – a captivating, energetic one, turns andbreaks en masse, brimful of life. In order to facilitate some time to relax furtheron the next oneArt Of the Earth comes from a new project called All Over everywhere, basically a dreamypsych/folk song decorated with nice female vocals. Nine Against Ten appears as a pleasantheavy fusion thing really, recorded by the band Cerebus Effect. High speed performance guaranteed -but also decorated with a floating inner part where bassist Mike Galway shows his talent.

Not promoted as that but ‘Emkog’ could probably be treated as a best of compilation … even despitethe fact that you will stumble across twenty minutes of forthcoming music, seemingly inspired byclassical music, recorded for a new Deluge Grander album and another collaboration named ElevatorMachine Room. Overall this is a successful promotion with a blend of relaxed and highly energetictunes, however not for everyone’s taste because short of common catchy moments – an adventure for aprog aficionado though and ideally suited when you intend to get closer to the aforementioned bands.

With a durable hit single and a new album, Katy Perry seems to have mastered …

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

Katy Perry seems to have bested all other competitors for “song of the summer” laurels. her single “California Gurls” has spent more than three months at, or near, the top of the Billboard Hot 100, where it was recently joined by the title track from “Teenage Dream,” her much-hyped sophomore album, released Aug. 24.

Though local fans continue to hope for a Bay Area concert, none has been announced — yet.

Perry, 25, has proved adept at working the modern pop-star playbook angles — relentless promotion, corporate crossover, brand development and a cheeky over-the-top persona. in the process, she has completed her unlikely turnaround from one-time gospel singer to provocative pop starlet.

Now she is a gossip-page staple, too, thanks to her mouthy tone and her engagement to the similarly raunchy British comedian Russell Brand. Their teasing banter is reflected in Perry’s music, with its easy innuendoes and breezy sexual references — set to a dance beat. Even so, she maintains she is still a deeply spiritual person. “I’m definitely on a pilgrimage,” she says.

Of course, musicians publicly searching for fulfillment are nothing new. but for Perry, who was raised as an evangelical Christian, that quest carries a different weight. her pursuit might include faith (in herself), devotion (to her craft) and a certain self-conscious materialism.

Perry has not been shy about her ambition. being memorable means being visible and outre,

and Perry is comfortable with both. her style, drawn from pinups and Japanese Harajuku girls, has made her a favorite of the fashion press.

“We’re both, like, these walking cartoons,” she cheerfully says of herself and Brand.

Obscenities are a part of Perry’s vocabulary. She is “a drop-dead gorgeous girl” with “a truck driver’s mouth,” says Greg Thompson, executive vice president of marketing and promotion for EMI, the parent of Capitol, which released “Teenage Dream.” Though she insists she doesn’t take the Lord’s name in vain, she regularly flouts many of the other commandments with which she grew up.

She was born Katy Hudson, the middle daughter of itinerant preachers who set up storefront churches and gave sermons around the country. the family settled in Santa Barbara, where Perry attended a Christian school that, to her retrospective dismay, did not have “cute or sexy” uniforms, just plain old khaki ones. (She uses her mother’s maiden name to avoid confusion with the actress Kate Hudson.)

Her family spoke in tongues at home, and she sang in church, picking up guitar and writing her own songs at 13, around the time she realized she was “an interesting little oddball,” as she puts it. She was kept away from mainstream pop culture but enjoyed some typical So-Cal pleasures: She went to a Christian surf camp where the kids prayed for big waves. “I was sheltered in a weird way,” she says. “It was very, like, pick-and-choose.”

With her parents’ help, Perry got a deal to record a gospel album in Nashville and went on a ministry tour of churches.

“At the time I was so jazzed,” she says. “I wanted to be Amy Grant.” but the gospel label folded, and Perry returned to California, living on her own in Los Angeles at 17.

“When I moved out, with my parents’ blessing, it was like discovering that the world was circular,” she says.

Her tastes expanded broadly. With gospel off the table, Perry moved toward rock, and was signed by two major labels, only to be dropped each time. It felt, she says, like: “Here’s your golden ticket. give me your golden ticket back.”

To make ends meet, she worked critiquing demo tapes at a small label in Calabasas, which she describes as the Hoboken of Los Angeles, commuting in rental cars after her vehicle was repossessed.

“It wasn’t cute, I’m telling you that,” she says of this period. but, she adds, she didn’t doubt that she would succeed. “I thought I was invincible.”

Eventually Perry was signed to Capitol, which released her debut pop album, “One of the Boys,” in 2008, and sent her on the Vans Warped Tour just as her single, “I Kissed a Girl,” was breaking and, not incidentally, stirring controversy. (Her first EP, “Ur so Gay,” a diatribe about an effeminate boyfriend, did not help, though she has also spoken in support of gay marriage.) “I Kissed a Girl” sold 3.8 million downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and was nominated for a Grammy.

“A lot of people criticized it for playing into masculine fantasies, as opposed to saying something new about gender politics,” notes Sadie Stein, a contributing editor at the blog Jezebel, who has followed Perry’s career. “It seems silly to even say that,” she adds.

It was, after all, just pop — which became Perry’s line of defense, to call her work lightweight fun.

Her credibility has been questioned throughout her career: is she a symbol of rebellion or a rote representation of a good girl gone bad, a manufactured product of the music industry or an individual with a loopy sense of style?

Stein notes that, unlike Lady Gaga — the totem to all female pop singers these days — Perry is not very threatening, obscenities and innuendo notwithstanding.

“She hews to the model of a pretty girl being pretty and filling feminine roles, really, while (being) nominally subversive,” Stein says. “She might be winking, but the rest of her body is pretty naked while she does it.”

Just how much of Perry’s work is delivered with a wink is an open question. certainly she has a taste for camp: the package for “Teenage Dream” is meant to smell like cotton candy. the video for “California Gurls” is set in a demented Candy Land, where candy canes turn into snakes and gummi bears give the finger; at the end she shoots whipped cream out of cannons attached to her breasts. It’s a canny move to declare yourself a cartoon before anyone else gets the chance.

Perry credits Brand with keeping her stable, and says her parents still pray for her. but she sees no contradiction in her oddball trajectory. “I am, because I made me,” she says, before amending herself: “God made me, but I tried to make it happen.”

What would her 15-year-old-self, the one whose teenage dream it was to be a gospel star, think of her life now?

“I think the 15-year-old me would be excited and flabbergasted,” Perry says, “and also say, ‘Put on some clothes.’ ”

Music Blog | Partied Like A Rock Star This Weekend – pop-blog.info

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

This weekend was an amazing Holiday for me and after
working 14, 18 and even a stretch of 20 hour days the last couple of
weeks on a lot of hot new projects that I’ll be introducing to you
soon, I really needed a “Break”!

As you know we celebrated Labor Day here in the U.S. and Canada
(Thanks Alex for enlightening me), so this weekend was the perfect
opportunity for my family and I to get out and “Party”.

We ended up going to one of the best resorts out in North Carolina
and spent the weekend horse back riding, trail walking, Kayaking and
PARTYING!!!! Thats RIGHT, as we where leaving for the resort
my mother-in-law called and wanted to go with us, which was great
with me because it allowed my wife and I some personal
1 on 1 party time later that night, while grandma watched the kids

If you are ever in the Raleigh, North Carolina area and enjoy
having a safe, relaxing environment to party in I highly suggest
going to Club Zydeco in downtown Raleigh. The drinks are great, the
music is good (especially if you like live Jazz!) and the food is
amazing. If you decided to go let me know and I’ll meet you!

To make a long story short, we ended up getting back to the resort,
in the very early morning hours but had one of the best times ever!

I tell you this as a reminder that YES work is very important, but so
is enjoying life and more importantly being ABLE to enjoy life and
by that I mean being financially free as well as free to make the
decisions that you WANT to make not only those that you HAVE to make.

To often we get caught up on what we *Have* to do because we
have bills to pay, rent or a mortgage that is due or other expenses
and we forget about “US” never forget about you always, remember
to enjoy life because it can be taken in a moment and never given
back.

Take the time out to enjoy things, appreciate people and live life to
the fullest. Make it a habit to tell those that you love and
appreciate them and do it often, you never know when they can
be taken away. tell your wife, your girlfriend, mom, dad, kids your
label mates… and mean it!

And with that said, I want to let you know that I appreciate you
being on my list, being a reader of my newsletter, blog and/or community
site and want to thank you by giving you two amazing gifts.

Both of these “Gifts” will help you to challenge yourself and help
you to reach the goals that you have of being successful with your music.

I always talk about taking Action and YOU having the power to do
whatever it is that you see yourself as doing in the future.

Your potential starts within your creative mind, so always see
yourself being, doing and already enjoying the goals that you
are out to reach.

See yourself as a significant contributor to the music industry
and it will be, make it up in your mind that you are going to be
the best in this industry, at what it is that you love doing.

Don’t let anything stop you from reaching your goals, you deserve it
and both of these gifts will help you to do just that, REACH YOUR GOALS!

Take a look;
http://musicbizcenter.com/Holiday_Gifts/

As always, Take Action & Stay Focused!

Ty Cohen
Your Music Business Coach
http://musicbizcenter.com/Holiday_Gifts/

P.S. you DESERVE success, don’t let things such as
negative self talk, the seemingly lack of finances and other things
rob you of that success.
Use this opportunity to “make it”;

Go Here now => http://musicbizcenter.com/Holiday_Gifts/

P.P.S. By the way, as you may or may not know I have a coaching
program called “The Music Marketing Extreme” program that cost
$5,500.00 which we literally sold out of earlier this year.
It’s a pretty extensive program that helps you to get global
exposure and music sales and well worth it, but I have decided not
to accept any more new clients until after the first of the year,
so you’ve missed out on that chance, but if you want the greatest
and next best thing, this is it!

Pick up the complete package here:
http://musicbizcenter.com/Holiday_Gifts/

It’s valued at a couple of hundred dollars so of course I have to limit
it to the first 50 people only (or else I’d lose my shirt!

Be sure to leave a comment, telling us what YOU did, how di you enjoy yourself on the holidays?
