Listen to Leaving Babylon by Bluetech

You should go to iMeem and listen to Leaving Babylon by Bluetech. It is a free streaming song that is excellent. The track is very chill but the way the songs twirls around and echoes itself is really tight. At 1 minute and 6 seconds the main theme enters and it will blow your mind. It is mostly instrumental and the electronic rythms bounce around like they are in a futuristic cave. This song Leaving Babylon, is from Bluetech’s Prima Materia Album.  The track has vocals near the end that are very cool. The vocals are both male and female and talk about finding “a place within” and other relaxing motifs.

I just downloaded the Call of the Wild EP and it sounds very nice! Here’s where you can download the entire EP for free with album art. I’m listening to “Abondon All Cities” right now and it is very funky and quirky with some intertestingly intricate rythms and beats. It’s a must listen.

Visit Ween's Website

It was Wednesday, September 2nd. I was on my way to meet Jonathan Campos at the Grove in Anaheim to see the band Ween play. I had a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato in my hand and was excited to listen to Ween and hang with Jonathan Campos. If you’ve never heard of Jonathan Campos here’s a link to his Official Fanpage on MySpace. And if you’re new to Ween’s music like I was then take this link to visit Ween on MySpace.

I saw Jonathan Campos and Daniel Campos waiting outside the Grove venue in Anaheim. They both looked like they were ready to rock. We caught up and talked about what’s been happening while Jonathan Campos pounded his Booze Infused Soda Pop.
It was great to see Jonathan Campos and Daniel Campos. Daniel was wearing a rad Star Wars shirt and he was complimented as we entered the venue. At first it didn’t look like many people were coming to the show. We met up with Jonathan’s friend Dustin who was super cool and then got in the front. Ween started to play pretty close to 8 o’clock. I was excited because I expected an opening act or two but instead Ween Played the full 3 hours, only to take a break at about 10:30PM and coming back a bit later for an encore performance.

Visit Ween on MySpace

What was remarkable about Ween’s music is that each song was played with superb skill. I especially noticed how the band’s music was tight. The songs were generally short, about 3-5 minutes each. But some of the songs were played out into jams. The style of music that Ween plays is very vast. They played everything from Country to Rock and a bit of Reggae and in between. I loved the music. This was a great deal of fun for me because I love music in general but I sometimes get bored at concerts, where I don’t know all the music. But for Ween I would consider myself a total newbie to their tunes, but I had a great time and didn’t get bored at all. This was due in part to how they employed excellent showmanship. Ween had very short gaps of time in between each song and they kept the momentum full steam. Ween played this one song called, “Your Party” and it was excellent.

The girls at the Ween show were cute and they were dressed like they were going to a casual party. There were girls that were really short and they complained of not being able to see, and they said, “I wish I was taller.” And I thought that was pretty funny. One of them rubbed up next to me while the show was going on and it made Ween even more enjoyable. Another girl who was as tall as I am gave me and Daniel Campos some gum so she was cool. It was Trident. Overall I had a great time at the Ween show and I think I would go see them again. Oddly enough there was a mosh pit during the performance, even tho the music was very tame. Dustin commented that Orange County crowds often use any band as an excuse to get rowdy. One thing that was odd was that Ween smoked a lot of cigarettes during their performance. Jonathan Campos at one point said something like, These guys smoke a lot huh? And I agreed.

Chromeo is a Great Band

Chromeo is a very, very tight band from Montreal and New York. They hail primarily from Canada. Their music is great to groove and dance to. I’ve been listening to the song “Fancy Footwork” off their MySpace page over and over again till my ears got sweaty. Then I wiped off my ears and put my headphones back on and listened to “Bonafied Lovin.” There are some key reasons why I thoroughly enjoy listening to Chromeo.

Chromeo uses excellent production and classy programming to create their music. The production value really shines through in every song, but in the tracks, “Fancy Footwork” and “Bonafied Lovin” the level of production is unrivaled by even the superb tracks of the 80’s. Fancy Footwork starts with a sizzling and spooky Michael Jackson’s Thriller type synth sound and then a siren wails and pulls you into the punchy song. The song kicks out dance rhythms with a distorted synth and pushes the low registering bass along the fast paced track. The male vocals are easy to listen to and aren’t very sexual and that’s a big plus because a great deal of good grooved dance tracks have overtly sexual lyrics and that just gets old. In fact, the lyrics in Fancy Footwork are quite pleasant, “Bright lights TV screens, Feels like looking in a magazine…” That’s some nice imagery. It gives you the impression of a glamorous situation which is fun. The music video for this song is great. Check out Fancy Footwork by visiting YouTube by clicking here.

Bonafied Lovin starts with a great guitar lick and sweet vocals. I especially like the pulsing drums. The song is great and it has a cool keyboard interlude in between verse 1 and 2. The music video for Bonafied Lovin is on the left hand side of Chromeo’s MySpace page. It’s the third one down from the top in the video section.

If you’re on the computer right now, you should take a second to check out Fancy Footwork and Bonafied Lovin on Chromeo’s MySpace page. And if you like the music you should take this link to their homepage where you can buy Chromeo CD’s and Vinyl Records and even T-Shirts and other merchandise.

PS: You should also watch the video for Yo Gabba Joint. It’s at the top of thier “Sounds like” section on thier MySpace page. The song is about washing your hands. Nice and Cleannnnnn. Its very clever! The vocals are trippy.
