Older More Frequent Menstruation Or Periods

DD Awards 2010

I have to say it all? I hate year-end rankings, I just like to read those of others.
But it's just going to show at least one direction.
avarissimo 2010 novel really interesting.
Full of nice things (and I accidentally forget and surely someone Crystal Castles, the drums, neon trees, Deerhunter, tame impala, caribou, beady eye ,...).
Miser of things can really make a mark.
Exceptions are only 2 in my opinion.
and are neither the National, whose High Violet is a confirmation, but can not get over the past summits, nor the Arcade Fire, the authors of a beautiful drive but I can not classify "masterpiece" because heavily indebted to the past.
Not even the great return of Tom Petty album with bluesy Mojo is a reason to jump on the chair. It 'was "only" the welcome return to high levels of an old friend. The two exceptions are the
Midlake and JOHN GRANT . Why do I mention them together? Midlake Why did an excellent album ("The courage of others") but also and above all, played and produced the sensational debut solo album of John Grant, " Queen of Denmark." Former leader of
cupissimi Czars, John Grant from Denver Colorado comes to this album, thanks the interest of Texans Midlake and fished out his personal existential abyss, churning out a record that became an instant classic.
Listening is difficult to give a timing and / or gender.
E 'essentially beautiful music, with a prevalence of melancholic ballads and more.
musical compositions are of great importance, combined with deep lyrics that describe very well the inner troubles of John Grant, who may seem so stereotypical (drugs, alcohol, Being gay) but always poignant and engaging. The aid given by Midlake
looks a little bit about what those eons ago the first Bowie to Lou Reed and Iggy Pop. And you can only say thank goodness that there was. Of all the beautiful
songs in Queen of Denmark I really liked this IT'S EASIER that at times verges on the slow and stately pace of some songs from Pink Floyd.
A great new author for years to come, if only by the hold up emotionally.

Pointy Nose On Ultrasound

Neon Trees - Animal

me buzzing in your ears for a while .... some blogger friends have already made them turn ... let's say a force to hear a couple of their songs (including this animal obviously) ended up loop into my head. Accomplices
some video shot at the home of Daryl Hall has finally cleared them to me (you know how much you love Daryl, for me one of the best pop writers of the decades 70-80 and one of the most beautiful voices I've never heard sing) even the newest NEON TREES I finally .... uh .... oh well ..... argh goes, who cares ....... liked.
Oh fuck before they reach the battalions of hard & pure.
Neon Trees from Provo (Utah) depart from the Cars and the best electropop 80s, infuse a bit of extra pace to Sigue Sigue Sputnik, slowly and then macerated in grancalderonedellamusicaamericanadiprovincia. The result is a mix
absolutely lacking in originality but a disruptive force, so much so fresh, just like catchy refrains and a deadly shot that will make your happiness in the shower but also in the car.
Music-sim-pe-ta-Spain, as I said long ago. To me there
MI wants that, too, ziobon. Ready
and party the night away.
Oh oh .....

Cervix Silver Nitrate Avoid

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

Of all the covers of Bowie in my opinion this is the best ever.
Why? Why
Kurt makes his, internalizes, it takes strength.
I never drooled for Nirvana, I've always found it a little too innovative to be considered as subversive. Others had come before them at the same conclusions (Pixies), albeit in a less global.
But I've always loved the man Kurt with all its weaknesses.
The legendary rocker is always dead.
nice time.

D728afc Flashgun Review

LOW - Breaker

are relatively few years, a virtual friend I started the cult of the LOW of Alan Sparhawk and his wife Mimi Parker. Sparhawk, even if by design, is based in Duluth, Minnesota. As another man fairly well known in the music world.
as short as it is not the first did not know them at all.
But I'm lost, I am.
The music of fascinating yet elusive LOW ranges now on several fronts, always tied to a "minimalist" background that made his time to define Slow-Core. There are sensational pieces just guitar and voice, but I like them more when they use electronics in a light but very original. Should be heard, their songs are really devoid of any real hit singles, and require be metabolized very personal way. As if they were to each force, and not to stand out from the crowd to create a personal playlist.
In this period I like this, in particular. The hypnotic and melancholy
BREAKER. Performed by one of the best voices around, no doubt. Here
live, but also try the official video because it is a paranoid at the edge of discomfort. But it's part of the project, no doubt.
Then, if you politely (even though many of my non-connoisseur will discover them for sure with me), go to sift through the tube in search of your favorite song by Low.
hallelujah!

Card Stacking Example

Orgoglio e pregiudizio

Well ... I do not say arguing that heresies THE POLICE band were one of the most interesting and in depth view of world pop the last 30 years. A mixture almost perfect from all points of view:

• first-rate compositions mainly by HM Gordon Sumner, a man who knows the music seriously;
• slyly innovative arrangements, no frills, geometric, very effective. • millimeter
executions by three musicians (I stress, mu-si-us-ITS), taken individually, were to stage a bit more ambitious (jazz, progressive) and then "joked" playing pop music;
• positioning exceptional opportunity in the final of punk fishing with both hands and ending up playing the reggae pop multiforme sipping tea in the sahara ; •
texts never dull and always with the zic in most of the "sun-heart-love" that permeates the pop world;
• marketing perfect, never out of place a promo picture from a news acting nasty chat no drugs no nightlife; • production
exaggerated, especially at the hands of Hugh Padgham; •
huge response from the audience and acclaim from critics.

I could go on for hours. But to what end.
One day a guy full of himself he threw everything to the winds to "be himself" (read: cash in all share with him without the band, as if the capoladro could do by itself without the driver and the pole), play bland pseudo-jazz and arrive at a just nothing at all after going downhill for years. Of course, talking about Sting, the descent was a great level of quality and the first album with the super-omarhakim darryljones and company throw away. But in the end were
work on the conformist.
Conformists were fresh and original but rather the work of the Police.
Or maybe it's just that Sting had understood to be in gradual depletion of creative energies and preferred to kill her baby to avoid a slow sad death by bleeding.

Who knows.
Pride has always been out of proportion, that there six months a year living on an estate in Tuscany and does not know a fucking word of Italian, however, is a wine that, I believe, is called the palace . But the injury
on thinking you know with all certainty that the end would have made his band, leaving no time even to do his job was still too much.

I like the lovers who refuse to see history disappear, I would have liked to see them behind sdilinquirsi discs increasingly bloated and unnecessary, perhaps giving an occasional flap of the wings, perhaps by still touring appetizing, perhaps by remaining on the throne of world music in place of the Irish. Maybe, I say to fans of the first hour. Knowing the harsh reality, but in pretending to chat on various blogs that had remained to the glories of the good times. Some are saying that U2 fans around for years. Consciously lies. But their idols are still there to give some teporino once warmed their hearts on fire.

Like any self-respecting love, the management of decline is as important as the ascent.
But we will never know if it would be like.

all because of pride (and prejudice) of that one.

What Does Hymen Look Lik

Ace Frehley - Fractured Mirror

I wanted to leave a tribute for one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history.
Paul (Ace) Frehley has never been a guitar hero faster or more exciting.
Ace, however, was one of the guitarists who have pushed more legions of kids to pick up a guitar and groped to replicate what they saw to their idol.
Playing as Ace is possible from the technical point of view, come up with his ideas and his way of playing simple, but only a little less.
Man has had bad vicissitudes that have put in the CEOs of the Inc. Kiss (Gene & Paul) to put sometimes at the door and replace it with axemen talented but heartless (Vinnie Vincent) sometimes with clones 100% (Thommy Thayer). Only Kulick had an "active" role to the lead guitar, before being ousted in favor of another that in the absence of the original, remember Ace in all respects (including makeup). The artist, however
Frehley has touched the hearts of many. In his little (forgive me the irreverent comparison) compared him to George Harrison. Where Stanley and Simmons wrote 80% of the parts of the group, the niche remained Ace to always give that something different and less aligned with the standard party rock band. Shock me, Cold Gin, Torpedo Girl, Dark Light, Hard Times are pieces that do not even seem KISS, played and sung by Ace in that tone shuffled to Lou Reed c'azzecca not anything with the tent lights sounds, colors assembled by the late Bill Aucoin.
But Ace was Ace.
Another kind of "one man one sound," the kind of guitar that I like most at this stage of life after years and years to feel fast shredder.
Listen without prejudice, even in its mythological solo album of '78 (when they came in fourth with four contemporary works, however dignified, with a stroke of marketing ever seen, and never repeated). Or maybe in the early work with its Comet of 2009 or the latest album that rivaled the great patinatissima with the Sonic Boom of the brothers-knives.
discover a guitarist of rare sensitivity, tough when necessary but always able to give a hint of his instrument. Feel
instrumental in this often made by other "colleagues" (such as Dimebag Darrell of Pantera). You will not regret.
Thank you, goodnight.
