Christopher Walla - Field Manual (Drive)

We can hear (and download) a first preview of the debut solo Chris Walla, Music Brain Death cab for cutie , producer of multiple bands ( Nada Surf, The Decemberists or The long winters have passed through his studio) and manages his own label, Hall of justice . The album, scheduled for January 2008, is called Field Manual and so far, will be released by Barsuk Records .

Chris Walla


Sing Again (that's how the topic is called) is far from the first deliveries solo Walla, published under the name Martin Youth Auxiliary , being much more power than their predecessors. The songs released under the pseudonym above could almost be defined as lo-fi and bred, to be seen whether the rest of this Field Manual is closer to alternative rock or maintains the wake of these recordings date from the late nineties.

Anyway hope this album with great curiosity, to see to the best of Walla solo without the master company Ben Gibbard (Death Cab leader ... ) and to see what's in it that had the FBI seize the computer of a musician, where he kept the master of the issues. In late January we will know until then to enjoy Sing Again!

Steam Washing Machine Worth It

REM - Murmur (1983)

Just started the decade of the eighties decade that would be so many changes in many aspects, Georgia was in a band that would accompany the pop-rock fans from then until now. Murmur supposed to REM (which stands for Rapid Eye Movement ) musical culture and an unmistakable symbol of the evolution towards a new way beyond the punk movement in the late seventies.

R.E.M. – Murmur (1983)
This album marked the reissue of the single released in 1981 Radio Free Europe, the first milestone musical training and that opens this Murmur with a speech disguised protest poetry that characterized both the group in the future. The start of this album is the most powerful known: besides the already mentioned Radio Free Europe, Pilgrimage, Laughing and Talk about the passion are a perfect example of the capabilities of the quartet. Rock subtle, great lyrical content and an unusual melodic perfection that I recommend if you think REM end with Out of time and Automatic for the people.

The rest of the album keeps the current latency of the first issues (that you will capture intensity as you get into the issues that follow); Perfect Circle, Catapult or Shaking Through leave clear why this album is for those who mark time. Possession Album essential.

Interpol - Razzmatazz, November 9, 2007

The crowd waiting patiently outside the open doors was a sign that the night was coming special events. The audience this Friday at Sala Razzmatazz was varied condition, although we detected many ties, shirts and, interestingly, T Joy Division. But New Yorkers Interpol , who presented his third album Our love to admire have matured beyond comparisons with the Manchester band ...

The atmosphere is warmed rapidly to 23 pace of New York's also Blonde Redhead . The hypnotic electro-rock Pace brothers to the sound of the voice of Kazu Makino exotic served for the 2500 attendees were put in a situation quickly, something special would happen, and events (and cause) were not expecting too much .

Appearing at 21:35 pm (5 minutes later than the scheduled time, enough to hear whistles of the more impatient, and the expectation was that much), the American quartet Interpol was greeted with a standing ovation that began a few smiles of satisfaction in 2 of its members. First big surprise: members of Interpol know how to smile, incredible. With a brief

and even shy "Good Night," singer Paul Banks prepared to yours for a start waited and waited. The first notes of Pioneer to the falls were received with warm applause from an audience that quickly chanted the refrain of the opening track on their latest work. Despite compliance with the manual in the first song, the rest of the structure forecasts tracklist Americans were breached in its entirety, because after this, sounded and Obstacle 1 C'mere . The message was clear: they had come to present their third album, but it can not be explained without Turn off the bright lights (Published in 2002) and Antics (2004).

Overcome the beginning, the crux of the show retained the original message. Constant drip and spread of topics of their three albums in what purported to be a crescendo in speed and intensity, but which lacked a point to become the apotheosis expected. Say hello to the angels with the guitar of Daniel Kessler too fast led to an attempt at revenge in No I in threesome plunged over at halftime. and Mammoth Rest My Chemistry kept the concert focused on the last album until Banks and Kessler left alone on stage accompanied by a keyboardist to offer one of the most magical moments of the night ...

The almost flamenco strumming guitars The lighthouse under a dim blue light that showed only the silhouette of Paul Banks crossed smoker hearts, fibers and fabrics in the audience. After this, Interpol prepared to deliver the coup de grace to his listeners: Evil , and Heinrich Maneuver Not Even Jail ; winning trio that shocked the audience and left us all wanting to more, much more.

After waiting for rigor, the first and only bis of the band was fatal. NYC deep was followed powerfully Stella Was A Driver ... . After that, we all knew who played PDA (the hit was missing and ended the concert occurred in the same place for 2 years). With an intro worthy of the electronic world Thom Yorke and drum solo included, the last song of the concert ended up dispelling the doubts of the already very few who, at that point in the night, even questioned the band is one of large century. KO defeat the public emotional winner: Interpol.
