“Think of other peoples futures; but never think of your own.”
George Bernard Shaw – Pygmalion (1912)

miniMATTHEW has written this above his 51st song, Let’s Loose

It’s part of The Ballad Of miniMATTHEW, that is a continuous story. He has been releasing a new song on every second Sunday since February 2009. All tracks are available to download for free. He adds a quotation to every song. The first for „Opening Night”

“Only vanity makes people take risks.”
Yukio Mishima – Confessions Of A Mask (1948)

He comes from a part of England where the newspapers still don’t carry the previous nights football results. Terrible!

FAI BABA – SHE’S MY GURU

At first I overlooked that this album is a great one because I was wonder-struck by doomenfels so much.  But when I edited the (very coming soon) radio show from these albums on the first round I wrote to a paper the number of selected songs during the listening. On the occasion of Fai Baba I selected almost the full album.

Fai Baba was founded by Fabian Sigmund in Zürich, 2008, after he came back his spititual journey from India as „Psychedelic, Garage and Soul man.” He writes and plays very strange and highly enetertaining music. Krautrock-like psych pop, drenched with noisy space rock, spiced with a little 70s disco pumping sometimes. In short: very indie rock. Beside the drums and guitars you can find a heep of old keys intstruments as Farfisa, Ace Tone and Hammmond organs, Rhodes and Crumar electric pianos, Omnichord and Moog on this album.

Fai Baba is influenced by John Lee Hooker, who rarely played on a standard beat.

LAKE

is an American sweet indie pop band. Perfect Fit

from the album the world is real by KRECS

AJ Davila was the bassist and main songwriter in the disbanded Puerto Rican garage punk band Davila 666. He wanted to do something different with all the friends that he has met through the years in the music industry. Beside his band Terror/Amor he called some guests to the recordings: Sergio Rotman from an Argentine ska band Los Fabulous Cadillacs; Alex Anwandter, a Chilean pop-singer; Juan Cirerol, a Mexican folk singer-songwriter; Selma Oxor, a Mexican electro-trash songstress, who also is member of the band;  and there are Costa Ricans sure: Johnny Otis from Davila 666, who also member of the band; Mercedes Oller from the garage-pop group Las Robertas; Dax Díaz, a folk singer-songwriter; Fofe Abreu from the electro-pop Fofe y Los Fetiches. So the music is a little ecletic, but very Davila 666-like Latin garage rock.

„Like Virginia Woolf’s ‘Orlando’, Bart Davenport has seen many an era. He’s been a mod, a bluesman and now a softrock troubadour.” Sometimes his garage rock and blues roots emerge, but easy, like a Sunday afternoon.

Brontez Purnell is a singer-songwriter. His musical stations: gospel choir in homeland, Alabama > punk in California > with Hunx in the electro clash Gravy Train!!! as Junx > The Younger Lovers: lo-fi garage punk and pop, spiced with 60s girl group’s style and interspersed with Pixies-like indie music. It stands close the world of Hunx & His Punx and Shannon & The Clams. But this is a little bit different: My Tears Are Wasted

My fav Mexiacan band beside the disbanded XYX is Lorelle Meets The Obsolete  Heavy psychedelic garage rock. „Haunted songs about the uncertain” – said Mr. Obsolate

Chamber LP by Captcha

Suggest: listen to their live album!

It’s not a good, but also not a too bad album inside its own style: mainstream-like indie pop (or in reverse) with a little psych taste sometimes. There’re some good tracks, but all in all this album is not too exciting and too long. There is stuff for a good EP only. Moreover I don’t understand the first track. It’s such terrible that you stop the music immediately.

Painted Palms – Forever, debut album by Polyvinyl

AIE CA GICLE – SPEAK EASY

Well, then I’m speaking easy. Shit. Because there’re many playful, catchy tunes, but there’re not enough dynamics in the tracks, so most of the songs become boring. Enervated indie guitar pop with some really good moments. Listen and form own opinion!

I’m very sorry. It could be an excellent album.
