It's so easy

... to find good music.


The Mars Volta new album, "The Bedlam In Goliath", is a wonderful piece of musical art. The ex-At-the Drive In did it again, and managed to fit a whole bunch of delicious progressive rock jams into a new release. The lyrics are exceptional, and the hardcore feeling attached to it is superb, enough to keep my mind under constant pressure while listening to these fantastic tracks.







Finally! I found Witchcraft's second album, "Firewood", from 2005. And what could I expect from them, if not the best stoner rock alive? "Firewood" clearly steals a lot from old "Pentagram" early releases, but that doesn't take any credit away from them. Unlike the recent "The Alchemist", "Firewood" is raw and straight to the point, wrapping the corner stone between stoner rock and stoner metal in hot aluminium foil. Delicious.





Fuck fuck fuck, why do I always forget about how much I love Bowie? If there's anyone in the musical industry with a tremenduous amount of compilations, is David Bowie. (and J. Cash as well, but that's another story.) So you got to know how to pick them right. "London Boy", from 1998, is a fine way to start collecting. Why, you ask? Well, for starters you get to listen to the very original "Space Oddity" version, which seems rare to listen nowadays. The annoying "Laughing Gnome" he once tried to hide, now fits right in the middle of the album. And you get 16 more great songs from David, but it's important to mention that London Boy is not a Best Of. And that's the beauty of it, really.




And the new The Sword album, to be officially released in April this year, kicks ass.
