Introducing Gabriel Hart (the most run-on sentences ever)

This post revolves around the music of my buddy Gabriel Hart. He’s a singer/lyricist/guitarist/composer living in downtown Los Angeles. Gabe is someone whose music really made me want to start this site. Hopefully, that won’t flatter him a bit. He’s a friend after all, and when this makes him Lionel Richie famous, I won’t be able to look him in the eye anymore. His bands, Starvations, Fortune’s Flesh, and Jail Weddings have been oddly seldom written about considering their fanbase and the years he’s been at it. These fans are mostly born losers/drug abusers/etc. I suppose, and those types usually don’t waste time blogging. Me however, I’m a winner. In typical sportsmanlike fashion, I’ll try my best not to bloat this write-up.

Breakin’ My Black Heart by The Starvations (b-side of first single, ‘Shut Up Sirens‘)
Upon Your Request by The Starvations (off of their second lp, ‘Get Well Soon‘)
Purgatory by The Starvations (off of their third lp, ‘Gravity’s a Bitch‘)
A few years ago, my brother used to play songs over and o’er by this band called The Starvations. I didn’t know that was their name then, I just recognized the songs, and tied them together through the singer’s weird voice (that’s Gabe, today’s subject). Down the line after finding out their name, I asked Kevin (my bro) for the music. During the in-between time I had fallen in love with the Flesh Eaters, Gun Club, These Immortal Souls, Dream Syndicate, Rik L Rik. I think that’s an alright way to describe The Starvations……. if you only use punk references. If it’s details and “insight” you want, well, something that always struck me about them was the influence of country/rockabilly in the drumming (Ian Harrower). Not neo-fagabilly; more along the lines of the old southern stuff Lux Interior used to listen to. But I don’t actually know anything about rockabilly. Not sure if they had more than one guitar in the early days (they formed around ‘96 if I’m correct), but at their best they had two guitarists; Gabe and Ryan Hertz. Working together they got a sharp, yet warm sound going; something like the Pogues, something like Dave Alvin. They also added a girl on keyboard/elec piano and accordion;Vanessa Gonzalez. The keyboard added to the old California punk feeling. No particular bands really come to mind, and that’s a good thing. The accordion bolstered the nice Irish stench of it all. All I can say about Jean-Paul Garnier’s bass is listen to Upon Your Request.

Fortune’s Flesh tread very similar ground to The Starvations (after they broke up in 2005). Gabe and Ian were still present, with a few friends on hand from other bands. This is not to say they felt like nothing new. Nope, not at all. This band never released a single record, though Gabe tells me they recorded an album. So here’s something special. One of the prettiest songs I ever heard a man sing.
Mutual Fools by Fortune’s Flesh (unreleased)

Death Country by Gabriel Hart (the ‘Nightlight‘ Ep)
These Fleeting Moments by Jail Weddings (‘Inconvenient Dreams‘ Ep)

Fortune’s Flesh didn’t last very long though. I don’t know what it was. I’m not going to ask. Since then (2007?) Gabe released an acoustic solo-ep called The Nightlight, and has formed a new band. And mandaddy, is it a band! 10 members strong, and lead singers are always made out to be the stars, but fuck man, far as I’m concerned that number is not in excess. What you get is some very layered records. Great shit, good for many listens in a row. My favorites are the bass and violin. Live, they take forever to set up, but are well worth it, despite the lack of brutal pits at their performances. Ideally, they should play open air. The charge of the rhythm section would be amazing. JW are fucking far from what the Starvations were. A lot more tender songs, just check I Thought You Were Someone I Knew on they myspace. Did I mention the Weddings are replete with dualing female singers?

So that’s my impression of Gabe’s music in a nutshell. The scant, hacknyed reviews of his records might lead you to believe that he’s a creepy lech, jeffrey lee pierce wannabe, star-in-the-making, godhead, or genius. Maybe he is all those things at one time or another, but what they always neglect is that he’s a human. Same as everyone who ever lived. To me personally, he’s been a kind guy who let me get away with being awkward, and in my experience, most people don’t do that.

Rihanna: Rated R - My Album Review

Ok so one of the CD’s I picked up this week was Rihanna’s “Rated R”, no it wasn’t a spur of the moment thing either I’ve been dying to get my hands on the physical copy for ages now, so come the 23rd I flew to the shop and got myself a copy.

What I can’t seem to understand is why everyone keeps putting RiRi down and making negative comments about the CD of which I  think is her best work yet. The LP includes an infectious mix of Rock, Pop and RnB with a Hip Hop twinge.  From first listen’s I instantly garnered favourites such as “Rudeboy”, “MadHouse”,”Te Amo”, “The Last Song”, and “The Wait is Ova” but it was  still a thing whereas I could listen to the whole set with maybe one exception of “Firebomb” without skipping.

It’s funny really because I wanted to do this review on Monday but I felt I should wait to allow any personal hype to die down a bit so I could make a rational decision. Yet only listening to the CD more I’ve gathered even more favourite’s “G4L (Gangsta 4 Life)”, “Rockstar 101″, “Cold Case Love” and ”Hard”. Saying that Ive nearly named 80% of the tracks.

It’s no secret that Riri has gone particularly Bad Ass, Bad Bitch, dont f*ck with me type of attitude on this project which I love and think only adds more to the character and authenticity of the work. None to the fact she is listed as a co-writer on a majority of the songs also. I just really think it’s her best work yet and can’t wait to see what she come’s up with next.

The music video’s have no excuse to be anything other than HAUTE!!

Track Listing

 1. Mad House
2. Wait Your Turn
3. Hard (ft. Young Jeezy)
4. Stupid In Love
5. ROCKSTAR 101 (ft. Slash)
6. Russian Roulette
7. Fire Bomb
8. Rude Boy (Favorite)
9. Photographs (ft. will.i.am)
10. G4L
11. Te Amo
12. Cold Case Love
13. The Last Song

Take a Listen: Dala

Dala is Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther

I’m not going to lie. I’m a huge sucker for beautiful harmonies and I have a thing for adult contemporary music – it’s weird. Sometimes it’s nice to listen to music that it simply sugary sweet.

So I give you Dala, who is Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther. Their moniker comes from the last syllable of their first names. Smart. Their crystal clear voices melt together to create the most beautiful harmonies; it’s breathtaking, really.

Plus, they were the only Canadian act to play at this year’s legendary Newport Folk Festival which has played host to some of the great folk musicians like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell.

They met in high school and have been making beautiful music together since 2002. Dala has been around for a while on the Canadian music scene, but I just happened to stumble upon then recently. Enjoy!

Take a listen!

LIGHTS, camera, action!

Valerie Poxleitner, aka Lights, has recently begun sweeping the nation with her synth new wave pop hits. If you’ve been on Myspace recently you’ve probably seen her face plastered all over the home page. The pop/new wave thing isn’t something I’m usually into, but I really enjoying to listening to this girl’s music.

Her vocals, very airy and light, may not be something everyone loves. But it’s a perfect fit for her songs, which are happy and vibrant — true feel-good music. Something that makes you want to roll all the windows down on a long summer drive and sing along.

There’s something so innocent about all Lights’ music. This is a young, bubbly girl who loves life. And that’s what her music portrays. So if you need something to cheer you up or lighten the mood, check this girl out: http://www.myspace.com/lights

Lady Gaga, Estranha?!

Assistindo Fantástico achei interessante a “proposta” de que a Lady Gaga esta roubando tomando (como se ela fosse capaz!) o lugar de Madona. Já falamos diversas vezes dessa “musa” um tanto estranha vem dominando a cabeça dos jovens Gays e das crianças. Lady Gaga na minha opinião nunca (sem exceção!) vai tomar o lugar de Madona, Madona é mais do que um ídolo mundial, Madona se transformou em ícone da música Pop!

Lady Gaga sempre escandalosa sempre da um jeito de chamar toda a atenção pra ela usando as mais ridículas diversas roupas e usando os visuais mais terríveis diferentes. O clip da música “Bad Romance” me chamou a atenção, não só pelo escândalo causado, mais também pela qualidade.

Não sei vocês, mas eu acho Lady Gaga a mulher mais escandalosa que eu já conheci (Ganha da Mahm de 10 a 0! ) e particularmente não gosto muito dela (e da imagem que ela passa!) acho que ela pode (e vai!) influenciar na vida de muitos jovens e de forma negativa! Pois o publico que escuta ela não esta preparado “Psicologicamente” pra escutar músicas vulgares (Podem ser entendidas como mensagens subliminares!).

Então o que eu acho é isso, Lady Gaga não vai tomar lugar de ninguém, e ela vai ser que nem grupos que se formam e um dia vão se transformar em apenas canções antigas, diferente de Madona que se tornou ícone e vai ser lembrada em qualquer geração não importa quanto tempo passe! #prontoFalei

Britney Spears "tomo" no olho

A cantora pop norte-americana, Britney Spears de 27 anos, passou por um belo vexame em um show de sua turnê na Australia. Muitos críticos descreveram o show como chato e sem animação, além de falarem que tinha playback e falta de interação com o público.

Veja o que ela disse a imprensa:

“Ouvi dizer que há muita controvérsia na mídia em relação a meu show”, disse ela em comunicado à imprensa muito noticiado. “Alguns jornalistas disseram que o adoraram, e outros, não. Eu vim para a Austrália por meus fãs.”

Agora pelo jeito das coisas ela não tem tantos fãs na Austrália assim não, ou então o show foi pior do que sempre.

O seu promotor da turne australiana, disse que ela ficou muito chateada com as críticas recebidas e, que o fato de vários fãs terem saído do seu show no meio dele, era uma completa mentira.

Além disso ele disse que já era de conhecimento de todos que uma parte do show era feita com playback, enquanto ela dançava (será que ela não tem coordenação motora pra dança e canta ao mesmo tempo?).

Mesmo com tudo isso, muitos fãs da cantora invadiram seu site para parabenizá-la pela volta por cima (eu acho que desses muito, não tinham tantos assim dos que foram ao show né).

E hoje (quinta feira), o empresário da cantora usou sua conta no Twiter para divulgar uma resenha que elogiava muito o último show da cantora em Meulbourne nesta quarta-feira (é claro né, uma hora ela tem que acertar, não pode ficar só errando, mas porque será que ele não postou uma resenha ruim também, afinal ela recebeu mais críticas ruins do que boas não é?).

Shakira: La Cantante se Renueva una vez mas

La cantante sorprende de nuevo con otro de sus extravagantes looks, ahora luce unas largas rastas

Shakira no para de sorprender a su público y siempre buscar renovarse…

La cantante cambió de look y ahora luce unas extravagantes rastas en un tono de cabello más rubio.

La colombiana siempre roba miradas cómo lo hizo en su aparición de los premios MTV Europa en el World Arena de Berlín, donde se mostró despampanante con un vestido negro y plateado.

La intérprete de ”Loba” mantiene una relación desde hace años con Antonio de la Rúa, quienes forman una linda pareja, llena de amor y estabilidad.

“Cuando vengan los bebés, no quiero estar en el medio de cien mil proyectos”. “Mi cuerpo pide reproducirse, tener una gran panza y cargar bebés”, comentó Shakira hace algunas semanas”.

Se filtra un nuevo tema de Marta Sánchez

Tras la publicación de su último disco de estudio en 2007, Miss Sánchez, la cantante española no ha dejado de participar en diferentes proyectos musicales. Después del enorme éxito cosechado con “Colgando en tus manos“, Marta vuelve a colaborar en el disco de otro artista masculino, en este caso, el afortunado es Francesco Renga.

El tema, que será incluido en el disco “Orchestra e voce” del italiano, fue filtrado la semana pasada en el programa “Fama”, de la cadena televisiva Cuatroº.

¿Qué te parece el adelanto?

Pink Floyd de formação nova

“The Charque Side of the Moon” é o nome do disco que dá um tom tecnobrega a um disco que, até hoje, antes de ouvir a nova versão, eu achava chato. O “charque” em questão é uma gíria lá do Pará, conforme alertou um inteirado amigo. No Pará, pelo que eu notei, você não pode por exemplo dizer a uma cozinheira que quer comer a carne charque de charque dela sem que isso a ofenda seriamente.

Essa é a capa do álbum.
E esse é o link para download.

Abraço fraterno,
Márcio N.

"โอกาสสุดท้าย (Ohgaht Soot Tai)" - Tattoo Colour

Title: โอกาสสุดท้าย / Ogaht Soot Tai (Last Chance)
Artist: Tattoo Colour
Album: 8 Jong Pror
Year: 2008

เมื่อก่อนฉันมองย้อนไป เมื่อก่อนมีเธอชิดใกล้
meua gon chan mong yon bpai meua gon mee ter chit glai
Looking back at before, when I had you near me
ไม่เคยประคอง ความรักของเรา ไม่สนใจ
mai koie bpra-kong kwaam rak kong rao mai-son jai
I never appreciated our love, I wasn’t interested
จนเกิดอะไรมากมาย ฉันเองที่ยอมแพ้พ่าย
jon gert a-rai maak maai chan eng tee yom pae paai
Until many things happened, and I have to accept the failure
ที่ปล่อยอารมณ์ลุ่มหลง จนทำให้เสียใจ
tee bploi aa-rom loom long jon tam hai sia jai
For letting myself go to infatuation, until it made me regret

* แม้เธอ จะพยายามฉุดรั้ง แต่ฉันไม่ยอมไม่ฟัง ยังจะไป
mae ter ja pa-yaa-yaam choot rang dtae chan mai yom mai fang yang ja bpai
Even though you tried to prevent it, but I refused to listen and still left
ไม่แคร์ว่ารักของเธอสำคัญมากแค่ไหน
mai kae waa rak kong ter sam-kan maak kae nai
I didn’t care how important your love was

**ฉันทิ้งโอกาสสุดท้าย ต่อให้ร้องอ้อนวอน
chan ting oh-gaat soot taai dtor hai rong on-won
I threw away the last chance, even if I beg and plead
ฉันย้อนเวลาไม่ได้ ฉันทิ้งไป….
chan yon way-laa mai daai chan ting bpai ….
I can’t turn back time, I lost it…
ไม่เหลือโอกาสสักครั้ง
mai leua oh-gaat sak krang
There’s no more chances left
ยิ่งได้เห็นทั้งเขาและเธอช่างมีความสุข
ying daai hen tang kao lae ter chaang mee kwaam sook
The more I can see him and you truly happy
สุดท้ายกับความเสียใจ ที่ฉันกลับมองเห็นค่าเมื่อเธอไป
soot taai gap kwaam sia jai tee chan glap mong hen kaa meua ter bpai
Finally, with sadness, I look back and see your value when you’re gone

จังหวะที่ใจวุ่นวาย ทุกอย่างเปลี่ยนแปลงไม่ได้
jang-wa tee jai woon waai took yaang bplian bplaeng mai daai
My heartbeats are shaken, nothing can be changed
ถ้าเราทำดีกว่านี้ ก็คงไม่เสียใจ
taa rao tam dee gwaa nee gor kong mai sia jai
If we had done better than this, I might not regret it
ความเจ็บยังตามเหมือนเงา คงไม่มีทางเหมือนเก่า
kwaam jep yang dtaam meuan ngao kong mai mee taang meuan gao
The pain still haunts me like a shadow, there’s no way it can be like before
ที่เคยทำลายความรักของเรา ต้องเสียใจ
tee koie tam laai kwaam rak kong rao dtong sia jai
For destroying our love, I have to regret it

(*, **)

ช่างร้ายแรง ที่ฉันทำในวันนั้น
chaang raai raeng tee chan tam nai wan nan
It’s true, all the bad things I did that day
อยากขอเพียงแค่โอกาสอีกสักครั้ง ยังรอเสมอ
yaak kor piang kae oh-gaat eek sak krang yang ror sa-mer
I want to beg for just one more chance, I’m still forever waiting
แต่ใจของเธอ ไม่กลับคืนมา
dtae jai kong ter mai glap keun maa
But your heart won’t come back

Halloween - Ennuie

On Halloween I decided to go to Umi Cafe and support Ivana Borojevic who is Ennuie.
Sad to hear that Luca Furgiuele left the band to pursue other endeavors.
Hope someone will help fill the gap for Ennuie.
I haven’t seen Ennuie play since May which was at Avant-Garde Bar for their CD Release show.
It was the first time for Ivana to play the piano which was a surprise.
Very fun and entertaining set.
Considering Ivana was dressed up as Beetlejuice and had to be character.
Luca did show up and reenact a scene from “Phantom of The Opera” which ended abruptly.
There was a guy who played the guitar for one song.
It was a fun Halloween show at Umi Cafe.
