Pelotas de Ping Pong

Es increíble las polladas que uno encuentra por la red.

Ojo a lo que hace este tipo con unas pelotas de ping pong.Un auténtico crack.

La de horas que habrá perdido este hombre jugando con ellas.Tremendo

Por cierto, gran acierto la BSO del clip.

Dale dale!

Other Men My Age

Other Men My Age son una nueva maravilla que flipará a todos los que amamos la saga Kent/Harriet the Spy.

Lee atentamente:

The history of Other Men My Age might cause one to, upon first glance, overlook the amazing breadth and immediacy of their current sound. Spawned from the likes of very seminal art-core bands such as Harriet the Spy, Three Studies for a Crucifixion, Armstrong’s Secret Nine and “New” Terror Class, the Oregon via Ohio artists are by no means lightweights in the world of underground punk. The band initially began in 2001 after Harriet the Spy singer/guitarist Dave Neeson met up with former Armstrong’s Secret Nine bassist Ken Myer in Portland. The pair had known each other from their art school days at Kent State University, where the small Ohio town’s fervid music scene of the nineties caused publications such as ‘Bettawreckonize’ to refer to Kent as “The new D.C., The new Chicago, The new New York!”

The Kent music scene, like all forward thinking art movements, imploded after a few short years. But from the ashes rose an eclectic group of visual artists and musicians intent on fusing postmodern aesthetics while obfuscating the mediums of visual art and music. Like their kindred brethren the Party of Helicopters, Other Men My age share panache for sardonic wit, intellectualist fancies and a unique blend of dissonance and melody—creating a style of music that is at once accessible yet esoteric. The band, rounded out by drummer Richard Coss and keyboardist Shaine Edwards, released a split 7” with Science of Yabra in 2002, sporadically touring along the west coast for the rest of the year. After honing their sound and live performances, Other Men My Age signed to Atlanta-based indie label Luminal Records in early 2003.

A rare mix of guitar stylings à la Unwound, Neil Diamond-esque vocals, pounding hardcore rhythm lines and new wave electronica, Other Men My Age have come up with a unique and singular sound. Brandishing an impressive avant-garde aesthetic while still allowing listeners to sublimely shake their collective asses, “Imaginadium”, the new EP by Other Men My Age continues to break the boundaries of art punk hardcore set forth by the band members’ previous incarnations, at once showing their acute talent while grasping new boundaries. As painter George Braque once said, “Frontiers are the limits of resistance”, and Other Men My Age have successfully pushed their limits once again.

Yo he escuchado 6 canciones bajadas de aquí y de aquí y me han flipado.

Aumenta el mito.

Cohetes!

Uno de esos conciertos que ves y piensas....yo debería haber estado allí!!

Rockets!Rockets!Rockets!Rockets!Rockets!

Fiestón!

Adolescents & Channel 3

Siguendo con Punktorrents y siguiendo con el punk han colgado en esa web desde hace un par de días un video cojonudo con un doble concierto de Adolescents y Channel 3 grabado en 1981.La calidad de la imagen no es para tirar cohetes(da la sencación de ese VHS visto un millón de veces y abajo pongo un par de capturas de cada concierto para que veais), pero el sonido es francamente bueno.Se oye perfectamente.Y dado lo que molan ambos grupos vale muy mucho la pena bajárselo.

De Adolescents no diré nada porque todo se ha dicho un millón de veces pero de Channel 3 me gustaría comentar que aparte de ser un grupo que siempre me ha flipado tienen una de las mejores portadas de la historia del punk(la de la foto de arriba, que Cerebros Exprimidos usarían para la contraportada de su primer disco, por cierto)

ALL-Scott Reynolds

Circulan por Youtube 4 o 5 canciones(con gran sonido) de un concierto de ALL cuando cantaba Scott Reynolds.De largo mi formación favorita del grupo.Discos fundamentales para entender eso que se viene a llamar punk melódico y etiqueta que ahora tiene ese sentido tan peyorativo.

Para mi los 4 primeros discos de ALL(y sobre todo el "Allroy's Revenge", su obra maestra en mi opinión)son fundamentales y hay que tenerlos.Sin duda.
