I am a musically obsessed person, so when someone uses music in the wrong context, or talks about something they know nothing about, it really, really, really bothers me. As you saw in the last post I wrote about the whole Green Day/pop-punk mistake which is a perfect example of this!

My sister and one of my friends both have a habit of finding music, then talking about clulessly. It is disturbing to say the least. The other day my sister came home from some activity and was talking about how she heard a song by Weezer called Beverly Hills (until this point she had never heard of Weezer in her life, even though I had been listening to them for the past 6 months). She then went on the next day about how Weezer was a great “rap band”. I spent 15 minutes arguing with her trying to explain that in no way was Weezer a “rap band”. Does anyone else see a problem with this?? They are nothing like rap!

The second incident was with a friend of mine who is beyond clueless and is already getting on my nerves. For whatever reason whenever I discover a new band or song she automatically latches on to them, and then runs around telling everybody how much she loves them. Anyways I by accidentally mentioned the song Thorns by Demon Hunter in a conversation. So now she is saying how much she loves the song, and how great it is. When I asked her if she even knew what it was about she answered “no, but it’s really cool”. The song is about self-injury, and if you read my post about it before than you know how special it is. It just really bothered me to have her talk about it this way, especially since that song has really changed my life.

Stuff like this happens all the time, people like to talk even if they have no idea what they are talking about.  A very common mistake is mistaking song genres. Nobody even knows how to tell the difference between punk and pop, hip-hop and rap, and rock and metal.

Pizzaiolo e cameriera di sala domani sera spengono il forno e si piazzano all’Hammersmith Apollo a ballare con The Specials.

Il pizzaiolo titolare ha già ballato ad un loro concerto (manca un mese per fare 30 anni esatti), all’Hammersmith Odeon, e si ricorda l’esperienza come uno degli show dal vivo migliori che mai gli siano capitati in tanti anni.

Dudo de que alguien de Guadalajara -Castilla- lea con frecuencia este blog, pero bueno, la entrada de hoy, además de poner a disposición un disco, también va a servir para promocionar un concierto reggae/skatalítico, el que ofrecerán The Upsesions el próximo domingo 13 de diciembre en el pub Chinaski, a partir de las 21.30 horas por cinco euros.

En esta ocasión, los visitantes proceden de los Harlem, Holanda, no el barrio de NYC. Creo que tienen dos discos publicados, el último, que es el que nos ocupa hoy, fue editado por Groover en septiembre de 2009.  Sello que ha sido hogar de, entre muchos, Dr. Ring Ding, Hotknives, Intensified, Mr. Review, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble -que pasaron por el Moderno hace casi dos años- o Aggrolites. Y también publicó en Europa los discos de grupos de aquí, como The Peeping Toms, Malarians o Dr. Calypso.

Respecto al grupo, según dicen los expertos, le pegan a eso del ska/early reggae. Después de escuchar los dos discos, me parece que le pegan más al reggae que al ska, especialmente en el segundo, donde en casi todas las canciones se prescinde de la sección de viento que aparecía en el primero.

Su primer larga duración se titula The New Heavyweight Champion se puede escuchar a través de Spotify. El segundo acaba de salir, se llama Beat Your Reggae y es el que procedo a dejaros.
