BACK???

NOW...

I am looking for Christmas Wishlist..

I am guessing, Iphone or Ipod Touch won't be reconsidered to buy this season...

What will I gonna do with the Iphone or Itouch?

"Oh noes.. I don't know how to upload songs with this thing"
"Use Itunes..duh"

Visualization or Abstract?

My preceding phone was a Nokia 7610, since it is my graduation gift from my grandmother. It lasted for almost 2 years, then it was succeeded by a LG Cookie KP500, since then. It lasted for almost a year on me, since I accidentally upgrade it with V10G.kdz , while improperly rooting and custing it with a LGUI. It won't open and stays on a LG loading page. Until now, I don't have a phone on my own. I just borrowed a phone from close friends.(makes me a needy or somewhat a beggar?)
The only thing I need to know, If I can still able to operate this Iphone or either an I touch since, my friends told me it is okay and genuinely quality approved with a plus trend on it. Needless to say, I was planning to buy a I touch since then, but there were more important things than to buy a mp3 player nor a phone at these times and I am planning to be thrifty.(for some reason, I needed to be.)

But I don't have a phone, or will I just buy a less communicative phone, since they say, it is wise to choose a phone basing on your personality or in your likes or dislikes.

Attack Attack!

Band Name:Attack Attack!
Released: June 8, 2010
Label: Rise
Genre: Metalcore, post-hardcore, electronicore

"Crabcore?! I think its good."

I was stoked when I first heard their track "Sexual Man Chocolate" during the time the said track has been serving the teaser trailer for their upcoming album. In mid-summer, I was really anticipating this album, especially to the fact, their former lead vocals (succeeding Austin) left with no hard feelings.
Okay, enough chit-chat and side tripping, let's go for the review.

If you are a fan of Attack Attack! or just a listener since they released their previous album Someday Came Suddenly and thinking this would be the same, think again. The growls/lead vocals of Caleb Shomo, will cover those expectations while still sticking to the electronica/metalcore sound.

Kinda different with their previous album/demo, but it is kinda disappointing if you want some high tone screaming, but the power of pop electronica is their to helped you out. Take for an example the track "Shut your Mouth"(ft.Mcswagger)- a "dancy" song and some dubstep eccentricities would rave you out.
Anyhow, the last track "Lonely"(Ft.James Cameron of Bury Tomorrow) seems to please me everytime I listen to it.
Okay for some Metalpart, Try to listen "Turbo Swag" and "A for Andrew". The breakdowns seems surreal and got a positive impact on riffs.
For something unique to listen to, try the track "Smokahontas" and "Fumbles O' Brian" which has disco influenced dubstep breakdown.

To give my conclusion, Attack Attack! did good on making their own sound influence metalcore to electronica fest. Rate: 10/10..:D

After months of Hiatus...

I am back on posting here. Making a epitome of shit, for the last months and trolling everyone for saying "sorry" and bowing down.

I should be back here for posting my personal review of albums by the bands I crave for. and I should be telling you guys, who are reading my blog, i got a one heck universal LOL.:D

The Penance and the Patience Album Review.

Band Name: Closure in Moscow

Released:April 19,2008

Label: Taperjean, Shock

Genre:Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock,Alternative Rock

My previous post was about psychedelic rock, how I wander the surreal, whimsical and literary related lyrics, the feedback, wah wah sounds from the guitars. back up tapes pannings etc and its origins, root and what implications should one observed when listening to somewhat psychedelic.

Anyhow, the first time I listened to Closure in Moscow, specifically their song "Here's to Entropy", I was really amazed, and something lively came to my mind. The music vid was fine, engulfing into performance vid, yet the production was straight. The 2nd video that I had seen from them is "We want Guarantees not Hunger Pains" was again, same as the satisfaction level with their previous music vid.

For the other tracks, I really enjoyed listening to "Dulcinea". Fuck, another song that pierced my heart while my mind was floating away. the lyrics as expected for being psychedelic can be whimsical, surreal and literature. I think "Dulcinea" did reached the objectives/classifications.

To cite some cons, with the exception you are bored to listen or you are already full of it,tired to listen, you would likely to shuffle your playlist, or listen to another band, is some literary metaphors that you need to understand the message of the tracks, every single of it, to get its structures and the concrete interpretation of each tracks.

To justify, I really admired their sound, and from the album it reminds me of Saosin debut EP "Translating Your Name"(Seven Years), that I did enjoyed. Compelling with the strong psychedelic sound, progressive rock and alternative incorporations, Closure in Moscow did well and I would rate this album as of 9.5 to 10.

About Psychedelic Rock..

by

magnusti78

It all started, when I had to do some research about one my fave bands of today, Dance Gavin Dance, one of their album(latest), Happiness, whom it was being classified as psychedelic screamo. Of Course Screamo, to be definite would be kinda a less complicated to defined/understand with.(exceptions would be the correct use of metal growl/death growl etc)

To tell you the truth guys, I have never encountered music, defining a abuse/deviant but nonetheless its an expression/appreciation of the music.

So what is really this Psychedelic Rock? Taken from the word Psychedelic, it relates to drugs manifestation/abuse, yet to the latter, the cause and effects, is being in session. I somewhat made a thread on NarutoForums, under their music department discussion, and music critics,fans, and enthusiasts, answered my thread,(obviously the earlier replies, shows an argument the difference between space rock and psychedelic rock) so the bands/musical acts they recommend are Pink Floyd, Hawkwing, Eloy, Nektar and Muse.

The follow excerpt is from Jove, a music enthusiast, who is also a moderator on Naruto Forums posted his reply

"Psychedelia is pretty complicated. If I can thwart attempting to define it and present a loose history, I'll do that.

Basically, psychedelic music grew out of the two predominant guitar pop entities of the mid-60's (65-66): the garage and proto-punk of America, and the Mod or England. Mod was especially influential; bands like The Smoke or The Creation were essentially the blueprints for psychedelia. And there was one other key element: The Beatles.

From there, it grew in a number of different directions over the next few years (1967-1969). You had:

• Moody, somewhat drug-fueled pop: The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, etc.
• Swirling, fuzzy pop: Hendrix, The Amboy Dukes, Cream, etc.
• Freak-out: The kind of fuzzy-guitar-solo heavy groove music that you see in lots of movies from the era. Usually underscoring a scene with kids dancing in a poorly lit room, with a kaleidoscope of colored lights swirling about. This was the classic form of psychedelia: Yardbirds-like blues jamming (but faster) and insistent R&B rhythms.
• Folk based psychedelia: The Byrds, early Neil Young, and to a certain extent The Grateful Dead.
• Hard proto-punk: These bands basically formed the basis of the originalNuggets compilation, such as The 13th Floor Elevators)
• Trippy and experimental: And especially experimental with electronics. Bands such as The United States of America, Fifty Foot Hose, and The Silver Apples.
• Baroque Pop: The sort of psyche found on Zombies' Odessey and Oracleand Love's Forever Changes albums, for instance.
• Whimsical pop: this is a archetype British spin on psychedelia. Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn, for example.
• Classic Pop: a sort of instant reaction to psychedelic music. More of a British entity, these were bands that took elements of psychedelia, pop, music hall, and Mod and created classic, catchy pop singles. The Small Faces, especially, but also bands like The Move and The Idle Race. These bands form the basis of the Nuggets 2 compilations, which focused more on international Psyche bands. In America, The Millennium's Begin falls into this category, and is one of the finest albums of the era.

So, basically it was an expansion of things: of song, of mind, of playing. Fueled by drugs, natural energy, or intrigue.

And that's just Anglo-American psyche. This isn't even touching Brazil. Or Nederland, France, Mexico, Italy, or New Zealand.

The more aggressive elements of psyche would be found in bands like the MC5 and The Stooges, in part leading to hard psyche, hard rock, proto-metal, and punk. Whereas bands that were initially quite psyche like King Crimson Pink Floyd in part led to prog and such. Pretty much everything can be traced back to 1965.


I can't recall anything with post-hardcore or progressive; that would probably fall more with Boskov, or Lamb, or perhaps d_m. If you'd like something more current, I can recommend Motorpsycho."

To sum it all up, I want psychedelic to be infused with other musical styles/genre. I mean, Closure in Moscow, The Mars Volta etc... These are the first bands io listen to, with their psychedelic sound infused with progressive rock, alternative etc. but in relation to Jove's post, it is quite clear, infusing Psychedelic rock to the post-hardcore scene, is quite a taboo nor uncommon to the public's eyes. What is more important, the expression how the sound rationalize one's life, fulfilling its importance, why he or she lived for.

I don't know about you guys, but I am going still to listen to psychedelic rock.:)
