Why Bother?

The new ADULT. album Why Bother? off of the label Thrill Jockey. It seems as if with each album ADULT. gets just a little bit harder and more intense. Which by all means is a good thing the with Adam on the bass guitar putting a punkish ingredient in to the mix that ADULT. is made up of. With the increase of the bass guitar and the slightly decreasing lead of the drum machine Nicola picks up the slack with her lyrics which she seems to have perfected. Why Bother? seems to be ADULT. with almost near perfection, the vocals are definitely more involved along with the bass that seems to take the lead of the tracks, but the drum machine still plays a big part in the album. With ADULT.’S junior release Gimmie Trouble the tunes didn’t catch my attention like the previous albums. It seemed to replace the electro with far more punk. Thats where Why Bother? comes in and takes ADULT. to a new level of creativity and uniqueness. Why Bother? is the perfect blend of older ADULT. and the newer stuff. Not too electro and not too punk but the perfect blend of some of the best things around. The balance of the vocals, bass, & drum machines is pure awesomeness. This album blew me away I was expecting a somewhat of a let down like Gimmie Trouble but instead what you get with Why Bother? is the best of Anxiety Always, Ressuscitation, & Gimmie Trouble. Simply the best if not second best ADULT. album yet, and if they continue on this path we can only expect better from them because we know and have been shown that they can deliver on all fronts. Heres my favorite track of the album:(Help support the artist and go purchase their hard work you freeloader )

Along with their new album ADULT. has also made their first music video “The Folk Trilogy” completely by themselves & here it is for you to enjoy!

 

The Real D.A.N.C.E

As if the BBC rip wasn’t good enough we have the D.A.N.C.E/B.E.A.T EP coming out in March from the creative minds of Justice. These upcoming months are going to be holding some awesome tunes, I can just feel that something huge is about to drop besides everything thats already been announced including this little bundle of awesome. Heres the track courtesy Discobelle.net.

This isn’t the final version of the song according to Justice.

Selling Out?

 

One of the very rare times I watch television was today and I was swinging on through the channels and I hear SebastiAn – Ross Ross Ross playing as CSI: Miami’s opening song and just stopped in my tracks. I really couldn’t believe I was hearing good music on bad television. The show doesn’t do SebastiAn the justice he deserves one bit. Hopefully more good songs or artists don’t get put on that horrendous program. Anyway seeing that just made me have to put my displeasure into words. Heres the song anyway though. It isn’t brand new but it is still real good.

Rip off, maybe?

 

    Zeigeist if you slipped one of their tracks into a mix with The Knife you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced one band that sounds the exactly the same as another. Sometimes the beats, guitar, or drums may sound close to the same, but they are never the same. Zeigeist must have heard The Knife went out of their way to get things right to be basically the best The Knife cover band ever & most likely the only. Never before have I heard vocals match like that. if it isn’t a cover it must be a guest star with The Knife’s vocalist Karin. Either way it’s still an enjoyable EP, and once they release a full length I’ll be sure to get it and keep the record spinning.

Quick Zodiac Review.

    Weird cg and greenscreens made me uneasy, but there weren’t many and if you don’t know what it looks like then you would never know. Unfortunately I’m one of the few cursed with always being able to point out all the bad cg. The length of the movie isn’t anything to complain about two hours and forty minutes isn’t too bad considering 10 minutes is credits. It would have helped if they cut the movie down just 5 or 10 minutes. Either way if you can make it through that the movie is a blast and engaging. Its an easy 8/10 so its worth your hard earned cash.

 

Zeigeist – Tar Heart

Klaxons Meh?

   

    Lets face it the Klaxons album Myths Of The Near Future off of the label Rinse is fun. They get you moving your feet and then a few more seconds into the song your entire body is having some sort of convulsions. From Atlantis To Interzone is easily the track that I enjoy the most simply because of the first sounds you hear and that continue for the rest of the song, because I own the keyboard that puts those out as well and it somewhat cracks me up that they used them. I think I would give The Klaxons more respect if they weren’t in the music business to get big and make the money. Granted they have the talent to, but being in it for the fun, joy, & love would work for me. If they came passing by through Cleveland I would definitely go to their show it would be a good time and why pass that up? Back to the album though it isn’t very cohesive it jumps around & borrows just a little too much from other artists/bands. Maybe after some of the touring is done and they get a taste of fame they will mature and get down to making a Nu-Wave album that actually sounds like one instead of one that just has the name plastered on it. We can only hope things turn out for the best with these guys.  By the way most of the remixes tear the originals up.

Praise “Da” Lord

 

SebastiAn’s new song Greel is a bit of a let down for both my brother & I. Today was the first time I was able to hear it but kept hearing about all of the hype this track was receiving. I was expecting something crazy coming from the extremely talented man that is SebastiAn, so all throughout the song I was sitting there waiting for it to kick up and give me that usual Sebastian except it was never delivered. Although I was able to snag a remix of The Rakes by SebastiAn which is a good one to groove to. Either way you can grab both of them.

Coachella is Going to Be Ridicidunk!

 

    Three day passes are sold out which is a first along with an entire new day being added. I’m glad to see Coachella succeeding hopefully they stickwith this way of booking more diverse & slightly less heard of bands instead of just ones they think would bring crowds. This line up is killer & I wish I had the suffcient funds to head on out but it isn’t happening anytime soon. It just hurts when theres more bands/artists I enjoy then not. Daft Punks performance was extreme and blew everyone away that was there and that wasn’t hopefully someone(s) does something pretty unique this year that can start up some buzz.

Battlestar Isn’t Going Far

I’m in the rhyming mood right now so the title is fitting. I used to be an avid viewer of Battlestar Galactica the once great Scifi- Channel show, but now it’s turning into another show with a formula. Currently the forumla forthis season is two or three episodes that do nothing for the plot or the shows reputation, and then they will toss in an episode that will move the story along just a little but enough. It’s just sad everyone that watches it saying its the best season yet and such. Too bad my thoughts can’t transfer to other people the world would be oh so less frustrating.

By the by Britney Spears = Crazy? You can decide.
