Manu Chao's music vids consistently capture a beautiful spirit on film. His brand new video for "Politik Kills" off La Radiolina is a prime example. Self-directed with JS Sauvaire co-directing, it's shot from Chao's perspective as he follows a young fella around Monrovia, Liberia. FADER Mag reports that the kid was a soldier during the civil war that ended only a year ago. As I watched this, I realized he's probably walked that same route a hundred times, touting a rif... MORE

On my way to post something brief about Manu Chao's La Radiolina, I ran across a post of the new Magnetic Fields album, by one Spencer Owen, that totally nails what's wrong with the album. Check it out over here. I'd really like to see Stephen Merritt pull off an homage to the Jesus and Mary Chain, but if he's going to do it he'll need to dig a bit farther into that imagination of his. Basically what we get are some typically cute and pretty Magnetic Fields songs pasted... MORE

MUSIC: TOP 15 01 Goodbye the Band - Sky Tiger LP [download it here, free] Goodbye the Band (download many more of his other albums here, free, as well) is my longtime friend and couple-of-times roommate, the New Jersey-born John Acquadro. He and I have bonded (and occasionally tussled) over the last near-decade about the music we make (among other things), and it is safe to say I've rarely (if ever) been more consistently astonished with a single person's musical output...

I know it is likely that you’ve heard Manu Chao but have you ever gone past the entertaining track Bongo Bongo? Manu Chao has the talent for accelerating sounds into a realm of pure exuberance even when the songs have something of melancholy content. It is extraordinary to know that many individuals out there can turn what seams to be a moment of despondency into something truly beautiful and if you don’t understand this track but like the sound check out LA CHANGO FAMILIA...

Went and saw Manu Chao the other night, and it was a great show. He's a great artist, and although I couldn't understand lots of the words because I'm a stupid gringo, it was real high energy and tons of fun. I'd recommend it if he ever comes anywhere close to you.

Arrgh....I was preparing my magnus opus MOG post...but then a barrage of concerts happened...I finally recovered from the physical exertion of four concerts in eight days (and financial exertion -- i was considering a MOG post on the inanities of the myriad convenience charges by online ticket sites but opted out to keep my MOG on a positive note) and thought I'd find some time to finish and publish the post...but then today (my birthday) my friend Donald showed up with th...

A long time ago, Spencer said I should go to Manu Chao with him in Berkeley. After a month or so, I still hadn't bought my ticket. By the time I tried (several days before the show), it was sold out. But I get the feeling it was sold out for a while, since on Craigslist, people were offering and asking for $100 per ticket. Besides this, it seemed there were many more people in search for tickets than people who were willing to sell tickets. I decided I will not be sp... MORE

Fascinating new widget, this one, "Top Songs of MOGs Like Me." - I hate Interpol!- "13 Angels" by A Silver Mt. Zion was one of my favorite pieces of music when I was a teenager!- I love the Magnetic Fields!- I dig that Thom Yorke character!- I love Steely Dan... but not Can't Buy a Thrill!- I have a (very brief) history with Francisco Lopez ... that I'd rather not divulge here. Also has to do with my teenage years. Provocative stuff. Hopefully it will keep dredging up ... MORE
