Mmmhhh.. de The Mother Hips no he oido absolutamente nada, pero la canción de esta semana de los Smashings es como dirían los gringos un "must-have". Esperalas para el día 29 de Abril para los Estados Unidos y Cánada, nananana, para los mexicans solo es la esperanza de que abrán por completo la tienda.

REPOST: NewmRadio NewMix Podcast

I'm reposting last week's podcast for those of you that missed it:

After not having created a podcast music mix in a long time, I got the hankering to do so this week. I had all these perfect songs in my head and as I put it together, noticed that they all fit together quite well. I hope you'll all take 45 minutes some time soon and give this one a good crank...I think you'll definitely dig it!

Sht Lsts: Played-Out End-of-Year-List Style

newmradio — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 06:53:45 +0000

It sure is the time of year for lists, huh? I'm seeing them everywhere, especially now that every other jerk-off out there has their own blog and thinks that their opinions of the year's top stuff really matters. Well, unfortunately for you, I'm one of those jerk-offs but at least I'm going to admit that I don't listen to a ton of new music and can concede that just about any other list you'll find will be more accurate and attuned to popular modern society.

I am also going to spare you my enormous lists of great NYC vegan restaurants and best foreign films made in Hollywood of 2007 and only give you my listy opinions about music (and you will hopefully share yours) so as not to drive the whole end-of-the-year requisite lists into the ground. So, that being said, I'm going to try to list my Top 10 Favorite New Album Releases of 2007. Since I may not be able to come up with a full 10, I'm going to allow myself (and us) to pad the list with albums that you were turned on to during 2007, but came out whenever. Cool? Let's do it after the jump....

All righty, I'll go first, then...

(In no particular order, although the number 1 slot may very well be my favorite album of the year)

1) Panda Bear - Person Pitch

2) Black Mountain - In the Future (I'm picking this one even though it actually comes out 'in the future', Jan. 22, but I first heard it a couple months ago and I think it's fantastic)

3) Black Lips - Good Bad Not Evil (the studio album)

4) Black Lips - Los Valientes del Mundo Nuevo (the live album)

5) Mother Hips - Kiss the Crystal Flake (see a couple posts below this one for a song from this one)

6) Ween - La Cucaracha (studio genius that we've come to expect from the brown boys)

7) Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? (comfortable enough with my sexuality to admit that I love this album)

8) Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (sorry, this is on everyone's list for a reason)

9) Libertines - A Time For Heroes (Yes, this is Pete Doherty's ex-band and this is a 'best of' that just came out in December; it's the first I've heard of the Libertines and I realized they're really good)

10) Kings of Leon - Because of the Times (love this band)

I can't believe I just came up with ten albums from 2007. I guess my ears aren't completely living in the past!

NOW YOU>>>

Dig This!: The Mother Hips - Let Somebody

newmradio — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:59:51 +0000

Maybe the Mother Hips are my Wilco. They have that similar laid back California classic rock sound, and I'm diggin' it. They even come from about the same time as Wilco, the bands' members having met at university in Chico in 1990. I honestly never heard them (or of them, even) until we got a copy of their 2007 album called Kiss The Crystal Flake (I don't think they're referring to our Crystal...or are they??).

I don't have a whole lotta history for you since I don't know it, and since the Wikipedia entry was a pretty boring read. That's not to say the band hasn't had a killer exciting life, because their Wikipedia entry is a lot better than mine.

Anyway, this song came up on my iPod a couple days ago and it was the highlight of my subway ride home from work. Okay, maybe that's not sayin' much, but what I'm trying to say is "I really like this song". It's got a bit of a Black Crowes thing going on, but the Black Crowes have a Faces thing going on, and the Faces have a Otis Redding thing going on, and so on....

Just take a listen and see what you think. What other things are goin' on here...?
