// 2008 Flight of The Conchords - Self Titled


//massmirror
//password: spaceisland.blogspot.com

Flight of the Conchords follow the release of their six-track Grammy Award-nominated Grammy Award-winning (it’s true!) CDEP The Distant Future with their full-length record album debut, the conveniently titled Flight of the Conchords (which, not at all coincidentally, is also the name of their HBO television series). Produced by Mickey Petralia (Beck Midnight Vultures, Ladytron Light & Magic) in Los Angeles, New York and Wellington, the album features fully fleshed-out and professionally recorded versions of Flight of the Conchords concert and television favorites. And its release finally renders pointless all the inexpert fan-made audio transfers (the modern day equivalent of holding a microphone up to the television speaker and shouting at your mom to be quiet), which have bloated hard drives the world over. The songs are heard here in expanded but reverent arrangements. Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement’s trademark acoustic guitars lead the blitz, backed by a diverse array of instrumentation and production technique.

And, the album sounds legitimate and musically, it’s incredible, but, as Shakespeare said, “Does it funny?” Happily, yes. If amazing, delightful and hilarious is your idea of funny, then prepare for undisappointment! These 15 songs pay homage to Pet Shop Boys, censorship, Marvin Gaye, sexism, Shabba Ranks, and backhanded compliments. To be blunt, if you can’t find a rire ou sourire in the FSL study guide of opening track, “Foux du Fafa,” then, please notice, vous êtes malade.

// password: spaceisland.blogspot.com

Apocalypso is the second full length album by Australian electronic duo The Presets. The album was released by Modular Recordings on the 12 April 2008 in Australia and features the singles "My People" and "This Boy's In Love". "My People" featured in the 2007 Triple J Hottest 100, where it placed at number 18.

After two years of non-stop touring, The Presets began production of Apocalypso in early 2007 by going to a farm in Byron Bay for two weeks. The duo had no songs written or any idea what the album would sound like before hitting the farm. Basing themselves in Berlin, the band continued work on the album while touring in Europe. The majority of the album was recorded by the band themselves at their own individual home studios. The songs were finished at a friend's studio and the album was mixed at BJB Studios in Sydney and at Seedy Underbelly in Los Angeles. The album was mastered at The Exchange in London.

  1. "Kicking and Screaming" – 5:45
  2. "My People" – 4:27
  3. "A New Sky" – 4:36

// password: spaceisland.blogspot.com

Since I Left You is the debut album by Melbourne-based electronic music group The Avalanches, first released on November 27, 2000. It is composed almost entirely of samples from old records, films, and TV shows, similar to that of DJ Shadow's Endtroducing.... It was a worldwide success, especially in the UK where it reached #8 on the commercial album charts.

Initial overseas versions of the album had some samples removed. Current pressings have most of these samples back in place. The Avalanches also became the first act to get permission from Madonna to sample her work.

The album reached #8 in the UK, and was Planet Sound's #1 Album of 2001. It was also 'Album of the Year 2001' of the now defunct magazine The Face. Since I Left You is noted in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

"Frontier Psychiatrist" was released as a single and became their most well-known song, hitting #48 in Australia and #18 in the UK. The song "Since I Left You" hit #16 in the UK and also entered the top 100 in Australia.

Woman King is the fourth EP from Iron & Wine (aka Sam Beam), released on February 21, 2005 by Sub Pop Records.

Woman King expanded on the studio sounds that marked his previous LP, Our Endless Numbered Days and also included electric guitars. Each track featured a spiritual female figure and had subtle biblical undertones, although Beam has said in interviews that he is agnostic[1].

  1. "Woman King"
  2. "Jezebel"

// 2004 Super Furry Animals - The Man Don't Give A Fuck (Live)

// massmirror
// password: spaceisland.blogspot.com

"The Man Don't Give a Fuck" is a song by the Super Furry Animals, twice released as a single by the group.

It is based round a sample from the Steely Dan song "Show Biz Kids" - "You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else". The sample is repeated more than 50 times and so the single is claimed to feature the word "fuck" more than any other song, but Insane Clown Posse's "Fuck the World" in fact beats it with 93 instances of 'fuck'. However, the live re-issue of "The Man Don't Give A Fuck" broke that record.

A live, 23 minute version was released in 2004 as a single with the word 'fuck' mentioned approximately 100 times. It was recorded in London's Hammersmith Apollo. It was printed in a limited edition with an identification number on the back cover.

  1. "The Man Don't Give a Fuck (Live)" (Super Furry Animals/Donald Fagen/Walter Becker) – 23:30

// 2008 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

// massmirror
// password: spaceisland.blogspot.com

Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is the fourteenth studio album by international alternative rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The album was recorded in June and July of 2007 at The State of the Ark Studios in Richmond, London and mixed by Nick Launay at British Grove in Chiswick, and was released on March 3, 2008. On February 18 the title track "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" was released as the first single - on CD, limited edition 7", and as a digital download, with "Accidents Will Happen" as the B-side.

It is the second Bad Seeds studio album without Blixa Bargeld and the first to be released since the Bad Seeds side project Grinderman released their eponymous album. In several interviews Cave has stated that this album will "sound like Grinderman", implying a garage rock sound[1]. The album will be accompanied by a "gigantic" tour which will not include the United States.

On the band's official website Cave wrote on his inspiration for the album:

Ever since I can remember hearing the Lazarus story, when I was a kid, you know, back in church, I was disturbed and worried by it. Traumatized, actually. We are all, of course, in awe of the greatest of Christ's miracles - raising a man from the dead - but I couldn't help but wonder how Lazarus felt about it. As a child it gave me the creeps, to be honest. I've taken Lazarus and stuck him in New York City, in order to give the song, a hip, contemporary feel. I was also thinking about Harry Houdini who spent a lot of his life trying to debunk the spiritualists who were cashing in on the bereaved. He believed there was nothing going on beyond the grave. He was the second greatest escapologist, Harry was, Lazarus, of course, being the greatest. I wanted to create a kind of vehicle, a medium, for Houdini to speak to us if he so desires, you know, from beyond the grave.

Dig, Lazarus Dig!!! features artwork by British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster.

A series of viral video trailers for the album are being produced by artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard and posted on YouTube.

Early critical response has been overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers citing this as both a return to greatness and a new side of the band.

// 1993 Mercedes Sosa - 30 años

// massmirror
// no password

Mercedes Sosa (1935) is one of the greatest Argentinean folk singer!
She jumped to public attention when she was fifteen years old winning a singer's radio contest in Tucuman, her natal Province. From that point on she continues growing up as a notorious figure in the folk singers medium.
Due to difficult political situation at Argentina in 1979 she was forced into exile by military Junta, revisited Argentina briefly in 1982, giving a live recital and returned definitely in 1984 with the arrival of democracy.

The songs of this CD reflect Mercedes' musical life, not only Argentinean music but a wide and rich Latin American repertoire.
"La Maza" from Cuban Silvio Rodriguez's repertoire interrogates the audience, in poetical language, about what will be songs & music without substance. It is sung with deep compromise by Mercedes.
"Maria, Maria" authored by Brazilians Milton Nascimento & Fernando Brant, with unmistakable afro rhythm is interpreted brilliantly by Sosa.
Chilean composer Violeta Parra contributes with a top notch composition: "Gracias a la Vida" with Mercedes giving way to all her sentiment.
"La Arenosa" whose text is authored by Manuel J. Castilla and music composed by Cuchi Leguizamon, two well known folklorists and traditional motive "Luna Tucumana" are compositions more in line with Mercedes' usual compilations.
"Alfonsina y el Mar" whose text is authored by Felix Luna and music composed by Ariel Ramirez, tells the tragic end of poet Alfonsina Storni. Mercedes give a pungent interpretation.

These are only some of the themes that compose this beautiful album. You shouldn't miss it by all means!

// 1969 Mercedes Sosa - Mujeres Argentinas

// massmirror
// no password

This is a terrific album, where Mercedes Sosa, possibly Argentina's finest female vocalist, interprets songs about Argentinian women throughout the country's history (hence the title of the record). While the songs are not exactly folk music, they were written by some of Argentina's finest folk musicians. "Alfonsina Y El Mar" alone is worth the price of the CD.

Some of the women are vaguely famous (such as Juana Azurduy, a rebel leader against the Spanish) or Alfonsina Storni (a poet), some are simple women who simbolize a time or a social type, such as the white woman who refuses to leave the defeated Indians and return to a civilization no longer hers (Dorotea La Cautiva). Or the anonymous European settler women, faced with decades of backbreaking work in the middle of nowhere (Gringa Chaqueña).

This is a fairly quiet but beautifully put together record, and the songs tend to have an introspective tone. Mercedes Sosa is backed mainly by Spanish guitars and harpsichord, with some Southern American percussion such as the bombo.

1. Gringa Chaquena
2. Juana Azurduy
3. Rasarito Vera, Maestra
4. Dorotea, La Cautiva
5. Alfonsina Y El Mar
6. Manuela La Tucumana
7. Las Cartas De Guadalupe
8. En Casa De Mariquita
