Lucky number 13, here we are. I debated about posting something other than these guys, today, since the last LMA was also electronica-style stuff. But whatever. “These guys,” by the way, are Groove Armada. A couple of guys, is exactly what they are. They are kind of like a 2 man version of Norman Cook … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #13 (GA)→
-I was in the subway last night, and I saw a homeless guy wearing a backpack that said “Zions National Park” on it. I would bet money that the guy has absolutely no concept of the significance of Zions National Park. I, however, do. With the temperature dipping down the way it did last night, … Continue reading Dreaming about warm weather→
This is another one of those “post rock” groups that I was turned onto by a Base58 mashup. I’m not going to lie, at first they were a little much for me. At the time that I discovered them, I was neck deep into NYC hiphop. It didn’t leave a lot of room for new … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #12 (Stereolab)→
Billy Bragg is one of those guys who you can tell is pretty cool, but you can’t tell exactly why. When I first heard his music, I thought it was hilarious. The biggest reason, was the heavy re-verb, mixed with the heavy cockney accent. He was a one man show. Just him and a electric … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #11 (Bragg)→
The other day, one of my friends accused me of not liking hip-hop. I was completely stunned, at first. The more that I thought about it, the more it made sense. Because, honestly, I haven’t really been a fan of a lot of the stuff that has come out recently, claiming to be hip-hop. I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #10 (Ain’t no)→
Yamaha released the specs of the 2009 YZR-M1 (Valentino Rossi’s bike) this week. It is all of the usual crap: >200 hp, >320 kmph, Ohlins, Marchesini, Brembo, etc., etc.. But the part worth noting, was not in the spec sheet. Rossi gave a Q and A, which was also released this week. Rossi spoke briefly … Continue reading M1 and Paul’s Boutique→
The first time I ever saw/heard of the White Stripes was back in the days when there were actually videos on MTV. I saw the video for “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.” That song is still one of my favorite White Stripes songs. Come to think of it, that song probably is my favorite … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #9 (W. Stripes)→
I’m really going to blabber on this time. Plus, I don’t really have a lot of spare time. I was just sitting here working, this song was on the playlist rotation and I felt like sharing it. I actually don’t really know much about the Cardigans, except that they are Sweedish, I think. Hahahaha. I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #8 (Sick and Tired)→
Yesterday was my first day back to work, after all of my time off. I can already say that I wish I was back on vacation, hahahaha. I guess that it doesn’t help, that I came back to a headache of a deal, with a bunch of super stressed out (rightly so) people. I would … Continue reading Already missing vacation→
