Are you IN?

Music on the TV

I guess we didn't miss too much not watching Eurovision last weekend... Spain's song which was supposed to be one of the favourite songs finally ended up the last one. It sounds like football. Remember last year's? that was class!

Here we've got school of rock, idols, some decent music in arty programs, nostalgic shows, etc but nothing like before. I mean it's been some time since I miss that kind of program where you could watch new videos, save them into your VHS tape and comment with your friends how hot Jennifer Lopez was.

Let's play videogames again!

Fixed bikes on the radio

Fixed with the fixed!

the sickness is coming..everywhere people are starting to turn they old bikes into fixed..

pastel colors..old school bikes hat..and so on..i mean if this has arrived in Torino it must be spread everywhere..

however i'm turning fixed my 80's road bike in these days!

Well the point is not this but that i found a pretty cool video with a soundtrack that just punched me istantly...

This is the video if you wanna see some Fixed bike tricks.

The song i'm fixed with today is:

Tv On The Radio-Wolf like me

it's a song from the second album of this brooklyn based band...

check the website by the way! they are weird...

Ribo is Back in bizness..

Let's call this the comeback

Yay! It’s been a while, uh?
No no, it's not what you think. I have not been working too much. Not much partying either, Internet... enough, not many series or movies filled my nights, girls mm.. not many either, shit I just went running one time last week and my skin is hardly browner than Iniesta's.. what the hell I've been doing??

Well, I bought a new pair of shoes that I wore for the first time in this wedding of two friends of mine, same day as my birthday! Nice coincidence, anyway we'll celebrate it next friday, are you in? ;)

Musically, I tried to rescue some tunes from sessions and compilations such as the resurrected JMFH series and I'm enjoying again Mando Diao. Their new album goes back to their sound even though I hate "Dance with somebody". What does that shit mean?!
Can't wait for a remix of this!

Grunging

The Kills have this 90s grungy simple mind-torturing attitude. With their lyrics and music it makes for a great mixture.

Still in killing attitude, Soko a French singer from Bordeaux with the best accent ever. She started on the internet and has been remixed quite successfully a couple of times. Also on my playlist of the moment is Metric's new album that Clod talked about, the psychedelic iamundernodesguise from School of Seven Bells who have lost their spacebar and If I had a heart (on youtube if you want to learn how a watch works...)

A friend has just launched an album with his band Les Bonobos. It's reggae, rock, groovy, explosive! fresh and fun if you get the lyrics ;).

Happy to be a new Fresh stuff poster!
