TILT Music Blog – My Favorite Albums in 2008

Over the past few years I’ve been part of a music message board (Pulso Rock) where at the end of every year we post our individual favorite albums that we’ve listened to that particular year but released that same year.  It has slowly become a nice little tradition that we still continue.  So I decided to start documenting on my own blog my choices and perhaps give a little bit more information on my choices.   I will start with previous years and later on I’ll include my 2010 picks (considering I’m still adding to the list).  There will be albums in English and in Spanish and sometimes maybe even on another language.So I hope you enjoy my lists and share with me on the comments what have been your favorite albums of such years.  If you click on the artwork of each album you’ll be taken to the group’s MySpace page so you can listen to some of their music, if my two liners and the art entice you.  If you click on the artist’s name, for the ones that have a hyperlink, you can go to a previous review I’ve done about that particular group in my blog.

Listados Musicales – 15 Mejores Discos Lanzados En El 2006 (Argentina)

El año 2006 fue uno que vió el lanzamiento de una gran variedad de discos en español.  En este compilado en particular me enfoco en los que Argentina lanzó al mercado.  Traté de tener el listado lo más completo posible y de este, escogí quince discos que me parecieron a mí, fueron los más interesantes según mis gustos.  Luego al fondo incluí el resto de los discos.  Muchos son nombres conocidos para muchos, otros serán bastante obscuros. 

Entrevistas – Porfolio (1998)

Otra de esas entrevistas perdidas de mis primeros años como ciber-periodista.  En esta ocasión entrevistaba a un grupo de rock donde predominaban las mujeres integrantes y lanzaban recien un disco a la calle en un momento donde el rock latino estaba todavía rampante en la calle.  La entrevista cuenta con todas esas preguntas estereotípicas que luego criticaría a otros entrevistadores, pero que en ese momento no conocía la diferencia.  Supongo que por algún lugar comenzamos.  A continuación la entrevista tal y como sucedió.

TILT Music Blog – Aerogramme

Like many times before, I hear about artists before I actually hear them…if that makes any sense.  I’ve always said you listen to a group when it is the time to do it.  Enter Aerogramme to the picture.  The first time I heard of them I think it was January.  A friend from Spain told me I had to hear their latest music which as it turns out is a big shift from their previous material which was a bit less mellow and less melancholic. 

TILT Music Blog – Alkaline Trio

Today I bring you a review on Alkaline Trio.  Yes I know, these guys are not really unknown, as a matter of fact they have a pretty nice career that expands through eight albums and ten plus years.

Discografía: Lucybell – Sesión Para Viajar Por Un Rojo Amanecer

Integrantes Actuales:
Claudio Valenzuela – Voz y Guitarra, teclados
Eduardo Caces – Bajo, guitarra, teclados, coros
Cote Foncea – Bateria, percusión, coro

Esta banda llamada “Lucybell” comenzó como cualquier otra. Un sueño de cuatro amigos universitarios que encontraron un espacio similar dentro de la paz brindada por el acoplamiento de sus instrumentos.  

TILT Music Blog – The New Raemon

Blogging around I came accross this group The New Raemon.  Right off bat the name of the album, “A Propósito de Garfúnkel“, got my attention mostly because of how the accentuation on the u changes the pronunciation to the last name in spanish, (Gar-foon-kel). 

Reseñas De Discos: Amarillo – Piruetas En El Aire (2004)

De vez en cuando las casualidades de la vida cruzan a uno con algo que le hace detenerse y escuchar.  Amarillo, banda de rock de jóvenes mallorquines, es precisamente eso.  No traen un sonido único, ni traen un “revival”, ni pretenden ser los mejores, ellos simplemente traen su sonido pegajoso e intenso, cubierto con dulces distorsiones y melodiosos sintetizadores. 

TILT Music Blog – Change of Name and recap so far…

This is a recap of all the entries made so far on the Music To Listen To Blog and an official change of name for the blog.  From now on the blog will be called T.I.L.T. (Tunes I Listen To).  Why the change? Well TILT sounds better than MTLT and let’s be honest it’s more what I listen to and share with you than any other thing.  So TILT is born and a possible migration to blogger is being considered.  I like this blog in myspace because I have access to a lot of people right here, but in all honesty this blog format sucks ass.  Unless myspace does something about it soon, TILT might be outta here.  I would continue to update this blog but with links to the new entries in the new blog.

In any case here’s a list of bands I’ve listened to in the almost year I’ve done this and that I’ve recommended and got some nice feedback from a few people.  Hopefully this will continue. 

TILT Music Blog – The Organ

A few days off, nothing on the scenery that actually made me write about it.  Then came across this canadian group called The Organ.  An all female ensamble that replenishes that void left from 80’s acts such as The Smiths, The Cure, Sioxsie, etc.  Also they tend to remind me, mostly for the vocals and the melodies, to Rainer Maria.
