material issue is original, but ultimately annoying



esa imagen es, para mi, todo un hallazgo
corresponde al diario The Tech, el diario mas viejo del M.I.T. y el primer diario publicado en la web
la critica es un poco dura, ya que habla de fastidioso y cosas asi (me chupa un huevo) yo los banco

la nota en ingles, que algun dia voy a traducir dice:

  • Material Issue is original, but ultimately annoying

INTERNATIONAL POP OVERTHROW

Material Issue.

Polygram Records.

By SANDE CHEN

AS THEIR PUBLICIST SAYS: "This ain't no British, Techno-Pop, Rap, Disco, Skinny Butt, Mall Band . . . This is Material Issue."

Yep. Rather, this is a Chicago-area, name-dropping, annoying, so-called power pop band.

This is not to say that there is unequivocally nothing of interest on Material Issue's debut album, International Pop Overthrow. "Chance of a Lifetime" is a clear possibility. And there can be no quibbles with either the originality of the music or the obvious intensity that drives it.

There is just something slightly annoying about this band. It's not chief songwriter/lead vocalist Jim Ellison's voice; that's rather androgynous. Perhaps it's his sentiment. His collection of prepubescent male fantasy, angst and anguish could easily be dished out in any role-reversal romance.

The over-dramatic "Valerie Loves Me," begins the series on women and love, which also, on the way, includes Diane, Renee, Lulu, Christine, and others. Only "Trouble" does not present the rehashing of the same ol' basic subject matter.

"Chance of a Lifetime" gives a strong message of spite; everything else is weak-kneed. "Valerie Loves Me," "Diane" and "Renee Remains the Same" are not so bad, but still, this does not encourage me to shell out oodles of money. "There Was a Few" is pure inanity, and "This Letter" summarizes a feeling I would call "pretty sappy."

Actually, maybe it's those annoying backup vocal echoes. Cut the backup vocals on "Out Right Now," "Trouble" and "This Far Before." That might be the solution to everything. After all, there's nothing really wrong with the lyrics or the music. It's just that the backup vocals kind of pop in in the same idiotic nature as the horns in R.E.M.'s "Finest Worksong" mutual drum horn mix.

Material Issue is not so bad. Supposedly, they're a great live band. They're scheduled to bring their power pop to

Boston on Feb. 28.

By the way, there is a Material Issue Fan Club!

I hope...

yo mismo lo he escrito, traducido al ingles con la ayuda de Globalink PowerTraslator; considero que es lo mas parecido a lo que quise escribir en español. respecto de anteriores post, el distinatario cambio (notese que puse "el" y no "la") Be able to forget…, but to make it I should make an effort but I feel down that I am very tired. The whole time the same thing it is not worthwhile not you as much as time but, as much as but I can tolerate. I cannot feel bad every time that I see you, every time that I listen to you and you always wonder because... Dear former companion one day of these I tell you good-bye, these days of silence... they are alone to prepare the road. Your advice were not such, you made fun most of the times I didn't want to be what I was, hide it quite well. It was always a mask what your front was, it seems that you will never realize, always in your world. Falsely happy, that it lasts you what can, that it doesn't finish bad... hopefull...

Marquitos, Youtube y se nota mucho muchachos

Estoy convencido de que nunca hice click a nada vinculado a recibir notificaciones de cada video publicado en el canal de la Casa Rosada en Youtube. Si, me suscribí, como estoy suscripto al canal de Fernanfloo o de Elrubius , porque mi hijo los mira (perdon hijo), pero esto de recibir un mail todas las veces que se inicia una transmision en vivo de-lo-que-sea que haga el Poder Ejecutivo Nacional, es como un poco mucho. Digo: no solo tienen la mayoria de los canales de television, de las radios, de la prensa impresa a su favor, con periodistas ejercitando el "periodismo militante" de una forma mas salvaje que la que conociamos antes del 10 de diciembre de 2015, sino que ahora tampoco podemos zafar de recibir todo tipo de notificaciones en nuestras redes sociales o cuentas de correo electronico. Como muestra una captura de pantalla de mi correo electronico y de como del mes de diciembre pegamos un salto increible a la ultima semana de abril y de como esta funcionando la comu...
