Mando Diao, The Starting Line, An Angle
+ Today I have selected two groups de fuerza, full of energy, alt-punk or whatever label you think they fit and some kind of 21st centurt folk-rock.
+ Though they don't have mp3 in their sites. Ah, they shouldn' be here, but, ok, let's give them a try, other formats are ok if you want to keep up with good music everywhere.
+ Mando Diao are from Sweden, so they need to heat up or warm up (bad joke) a little bit. Go here and listen to their videos. Paralyzed or You can't steel my love are their more distinct and representative hits. If you were In Madrid watching them, please tell us about it.
+ The Starting Line, from PA, USA, probably little bit more pop, but still overwhelming force. They have a space in myspace, with four full songs. You'll love them. Please, listen carefully to bedroom talk. Furious talk, I say!.
+ An Angle is a nice group. From California. With horns and sensibility. Listen to unnoticeable. They also have another song in my space. Green water. What can I say, folk-rock, probably.

Los Lobos - not just another band from LA
+The great tradition of mexican rock and roll, such as Los Teen Tops, Ricardo Valenzuela (Ritchie Valens), blended with texan hats, mixed with nashville mints, cooked slow with classic old-time rock, bonitos mariachis y qué más, amigo!
+ Los Lobos released last year a perfect album (this could be the starting line for the other previous albums), The Ride. There, you can easily find all those influences. Now, you have a Live at the Fillmore, more rawdy, if you are in the mood to listen to classic rock.
+ Classic rock, the reason of this blog. Piece of resistance!.
+ Please, listen to Los Lobos:
* with Banderas, canción del mariachi (ra)
* Evangeline (live).
* Up the line.
* Good morning aztlan (wm)
* Soy mexico americano.
* Chains of love (wm)
+ Loor y gloria a Los Lobos.

(Free) Songs for the weekend
+ It is not the first time we advise of wonderful songs you can listen to freely while surfing at amazon.com. Of course, it is nothing more important than that, because I know you have the ability to get the music (almost) you need. Right?. Seguro sabes cómo conseguirla. Pero lo que yo te digo aquí es que puedes escucharla y por supuesto descargarla directamente de amazon.com, lo cual no deja de ser tremendo viniendo de quien viene. En fin, we wil never understand completely....
+ Ok, so this is my selection for today, very personal of course, mainly pop & rhythm!. I am afraid these are not direct downloads, sorry.
* The new pornographers - the laws have changed.
* Ivy - edge of the ocean.
* Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Bring It On.
* Howie day - sorry so sorry.
* Pavement - all my friends.

Morrisey, haunting rocker
+ Been caught in the center of his eye. Been hijacked as I was a long time ago. Been trapped with his stories full of joy and terror. Been haunted with Moz. Been listening there's a light that never goes out and i can't help it to listen to it over and over ( ... and if a double decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die...)
* I really can't help it. Midi file of there's a light...
* Please, see the video of there's a light that never goes out of his last dvd, who put the m in mnchester.
* Moz also released a wonderful CD, Live at Earls Court. If you go here and say, if you have a soft that collects what your speakers spit out, there you are, you have the CD. If you are not in the mood, just go here and listen and dance, and sing. It may not last forever, so you'll see.
* Please, listen to this charming man (ra)
+ Loor y gloria a Morrisey.

The Edisons, 3rd try (had problems during the weekend)
+ Recibo mail de Tom Errico, de The Edisons, de los cuales hablé el mes pasado. Me envían la dirección de su página, que no funcionaba cuando hice ese post. Digo que esto es emocionante. No tienes que ser Diego A. o Paco Pérez Brian para que los chicos te manden un recuerdo cariñoso. Ya pasó con The Mockers (durante un tiempo este blog fue The Mockers' Central, je,je, Seth dixit). Bien, has escuchado a los edisons ya?, pues you must!.
* I can't go on.
* Just for you.
* Leaving.
+ Ok, I've been listening to The Edisons' call on me over and over. Hey, pals, how could you make such a perfect song?. You're stars. Sorry, readers, can't post that song!
+ Oh, boy, isn't it wonderful?, a nobody, writing from nowhere, is read by the subjects themselves!, and they even tell him!!.
+ Ok, so here you are, your pop gem for the next year or so.

Ross, spanish pop-rock, are now Rumor
+ He recibido información de Rock Indiana que me ha llenado de emoción, de futura emoción, espero, puesto que las noticias son de futuro, al menos para el que esto escribe.
+ En resumen, un nuevo grupo, RUMOR, es el nuevo grupo de Ross y se presenta en Madrid, teloneando a La Granja, en la Fiesta PopMadrid.com, el 07/05/05, en Moby Dick.
+ Las páginas de IndyRock te darán una idea de por qué hago este post. Verás que el tipo de música es uno de los que gustan por aquí.
+ Aunque me he visitado miles de páginas sólo he podido encontrar un mp3 de Ross, al que podrás acceder si pulsas en este enlace. Se trata de smoking control, del disco Rossland.
+ Posiblemente el único murciano (junto con sus colegas) que ha tocado en el IPO. Casi nada. Puro pop y a ver si triunfas de una vez, Juan Antonio.!

Chuck Berry, the other name of rock and roll
+ Ask rockers about Chuck's classical masterpieces. Listen to the intro of roll over beethoven, listen to the lyrics and the guitar of johnny b.goode, listen to rock and roll music, listen to Chuck Berry.
* Roll over beethoven.
* Rock and roll music.
* Johnny B. Goode.
*+ ra clips of his songs in here.
+ Look for the movie "Chuck Berry: Hail Hail Rock 'n' Roll", and watch Chuck Berry teaching Keith Richards over and over how to play his licks. Memorable.
+ Saw him once in 1987. The accompanying band could not get the necessary rhythm and Chuck ordered the guys to stop (at the 2nd song). The rest of the show was Chuck alone with the band just looking at him.
+ Loor y gloria a Chuck Berry.

More blues far from the comercial circuits

* Walking with Freddie: harpnotic boogie.
+ Jelly Roll Kings (los reyes del rollito de mermelada): pensarías que son dulces, pero no, son crudos, muy crudos. El disco es de 1970.
* Frank Frost blues: Chicago-style blues.
* Sitting on top of the world: instrumental, come on in my kitchen-alike.
+ Be tuned for listening to Chuck Berry, tomorrow, yeah!
