Song of the week!

I need to update this more often so here I go! My last day in Dominican Republic :[

Let's jump right to the song this week which is Summertime by Sublime. Everytime I hear it, I realize how talented Sublime is (screw Rome, Bradley forever). The title seems very appropriate for this time of the year.

To make it up to you (yet again), here is another good summer song, Sunset in July by the great 311 (which reminds me of Sublime)

And finally, one of my current favorite songs, Battleflag by Lo Fidelity Allstars!! A great 90s treasure that I really enjoy hearing. I think even te rockers may grow on this:

I hope you enjoyed these songs and enjoy the last few weeks of your summers everyone! I will be sure to make the youtube account when I get home and I will be very sure to show you pictures of my vacation. Thanks guys! Keep on readin'

Summer time!

Hey guys! Well it's the peak of summer, everyone is on vacation (including me, I am in Dominican Republic!), and we all need music to listen to on those long car rides to the beach or to that family member's house you don't like (but you go anyway because they either have a lot of beer, a pool, or both).
I have been building my music taste more, including the use of jango.com (try it, much better than pandora). Through there, I found some GREAT songs by Disturbed, some classic Rob Zombie, and some Chili Peppers (but I already know those songs of course).

As seen in my earlier post, I talked about my love for the song Darling Buds of May by Brother, even though according to youtube it is Viva Brother, I think they changed the name. Well, it is currently on repeat and I still love it!!

Anyway, here is just some of my must have songs for your summer playlist:
On Mercury- Red Hot Chili Peppers
Road Trippin-Red Hot Chili Peppers
Crackerman- Stone Temple Pilots
Darling Buds of May-Viva Brother (or just Brother)
Emit Remmus- Red Hot Chili Peppers (Summer Time backwards for those who don't know)
Pink Triangle- Weezer
4th of July- Soundgarden
Psychosocial- Slipknot

Those are just some of the songs that get me pumped up on my long trips to the airport.

By the way, if you want to know exactly what the hell Anthony is singing about in Emit Remmus, it is about his short relationship with Sinead O' Connor THAT SHE DENIED HAVING WITH HIM. It was in his biography, Scar Tissue. Not to mention, I recently saw a current picture of her. She looks pretty old for her age!

More about my vacation for those who would like to know: I left for Puerto Rico to visit family and for my father's death anniversary (July 19). We were able to visit his grave, say prayers, shed some tears, and go home happy knowing we remember him. Then, I left for Dominican Republic and here I am, poolside, in a hotel that makes the worst pancake syrup known to man, and a woman sunbathing topless right next to me. Fun eh?

MOAR MUSIK

I just preordered the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album, I'm With You (due August 30) and I am very excited to see how Klinghoffer is. He was superb in Raindance Maggie I must say, and it smells like a classic already. As for upcoming albums, I've heard that Bad Brains was making a new one, and the Buzzcocks if I'm not mistaken.

In other news, I just joined Google Plus! I must say, it seems cool. I just need more friends to use it. It also seems very clean cut, not as cluttered as your Facebook feed after someone posts a pointless link of a sleeping baby, and the invite thing makes it more exciting, knowing that out of those hundreds of email addresses your friend knows, he wasted one of those 15 invites on YOU!

If you want an invite, just comment with your email!
I am also thinking about making a Youtube for this blog, and let you guys hear me blab on once a week. Let me know what you think

Happy Summer <3

BRAND NEW RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS SONG!

This morning, after doing my daily check up on my Twitter, I noticed that the Red Hot Chili Peppers said that on Monday, July 18, they will be releasing their new single from their new album I'm With You, out August 30.

I checked again when I got home from watching Harry Potter (epic movie by the way), and the first tweet when I logged in was from Chili Peppers' bassist, Flea, talking about how the single is released 3 DAYS EARLY, as said right here:
              

     Well, a blunder and now the song is out 3 days early!' thanks all for the kind   words, I hope we can touch hearts and bootys around the globe

 

 I was about to pee in my pants of excitement, and immediately went on Google and found the link that changed my life forever:

So, here is my review on the song from my favorite band in the whole wide world (understatement)

The song goes back to classic Chili Peppers, with the sexual innuendo "cockblocking is not allowed", a funky ass bassline that has the trippiness/bounce to it, and a surprisingly similar guitar riff that ol' Frusciante would have played up. He taught Josh well!

I really enjoyed the lyrics. Hard to really understand exactly what the Swan is saying, but once you hear him say "We've got to make it rain somehow", you are automatically hooked. Anthony never changed his vocals, and Flea sounds better than ever, Chad is banging (idk if I should say pun intended or not..), but what about Josh Klinghoffer? Only time will tell how good this guy really is.

 

SAD NEWS: My favorite NY rock station was and always has been 101.9 RXP. After a sad 15 last hours of air time, they played "Long Live Rock" by the Who, and that was it of the great 3 year old rock station that gave us all hope. They are still streaming online though!

I hope you liked this amazing news for both you and me!
