Last year, my first mp3 post of the year was Ladyhawke. Kinda makes u wonder why HRO keeps ‘mp3 blogging.’ I am just searching for ‘the next relevant sound’ to align my personal brand with for the next _ months.
HERE WE GO MAGIC is a band from Brooklyn, the home of most successful/authentic bands. The song is kinda ‘lofi’ and ‘earthy.’ Here is the band’s ABOUT ME description, and I think they sound ‘earnest about their conceptual existence/experimental sound project which unfortunately is classified as mainstream ‘music” to emerge as the world’s next Grizzly Bear / Animal Collective:
here we go magic’s first record was recorded by Luke Temple, it is a project based on non editing linear movement. He made it quick and with a very limited palate of equipment. It has many layers and is best experienced with head phones or in a car.It is also important to note that there was no electronic looping of any kind involved in the more “song” oriented numbers on the record, it is important to say this because there is an in-perfect breath that might otherwise go unnoticed. He feels it has good energy and emotion and hopes you do too. Now, the seed of this recording has sprouted a band consisting of Luke: guitar, synth,vox Baptiste Ibar:bass,sounds Peter Hale:drums, sounds. The band is becoming it’s own thing. We feel that the name”here we go magic” implies freedom to re-create and that is the main purpose of this project. we hope you enjoy. Luke,Peter,Baptiste
(The parts in red make their band organically authentic/gimmickable for 2k9 and beyond.)

I really would listen to your show, but I am too cheap to spend my money on XM or Sirius. :/

Carles, thanks for starting off 2k9 right, with a non-electro post. Thank you thank you thank you.
I don’t really like electro, but do have a proclivity for mnml techno like ricardo villalobos or ellen allien.

this is kinda nice, but not very sexy music
i wonder how many other proto-ambient records with a folky beat we are likely to hear this year
anti-looping and chasing of natural errors would be Authentic As Fuck if they wouldnt try to sell it so hard, needy little shits

I just like listening to this song and using my mac to zoom (control+scroll) in on the american apparel one/half naked chick on the side of the blog.
But when the dude with the pink/purple shirt shows up I get confused. On the one hand I don’t know if he is the AmAppy naked girl’s BF (Boyfriend) or just like her BFF (best friend forever) or if he is just another Dov Charney sex toy.
Can anyone explain to me the intricacies of internet marketing. Especially relating to half-naked girls. Or does anyone have her number?

Speaking of Animal Collective I went to their CD release party last night. It was pretty good. Lot’s of Alt dudes and girls….kinda on the grungy side. Most need to update their brand a little.
I love the song. Show was great last night. Could only record the first hour, had to go to bed, but did fuck with the second hour going on in the background. Nice.
I like your personal brand….but maybe you shouldn’t talk about religion on the broadcast. You like to try and shock people. Like losing your job. B.S.
Thanks,
MexiAlt

@MexiAlt,
as if we didn’t already know by your “name” that you’re a religious moron. The jesuses is just the fu**ing sun. I’m gonna guess you’re catholic b/c your padres were.
Religion is s0000 pre-1600’s.
I don’t even know what the crls said about religion b/c I don’t buy the XMs, but it probably wasn’t shocking enough for my taste.
Ever notice how the xmass, jew-day, and muzzlim holy-days are at the same time?
suck it religion
suck it minorities/poors for blindly following religion
suck it MexiAlt for always being influenced by what the white man/azn “it” girls do

@MexiAlt, I’m white. I’m not catolica, nor was I ever. that pope hat is made for rabbitz anyway. don’t u know?
why does growing up have to do with repressing free thought? there’s no god ‘omboi. growing up means accepting that fact and living like this is all you get.

WTF, you’ve never gotten anything out of a relationship? H in TF to you come up with this shit? I mean really. One day you’re losing your job……then not another word. Then you dedicate a song to someone and then you say you never get anything out of a relationship.
I get you……you’re a shock jock.
But I like your taste in music and your personal brand.

Crls:
Nothing is more conventional than having a progressive/liberal mind. Sounds to me like you just want to be fashionable and not think for yourself.
The real definition of ‘liberal’ is to be open minded. Today’s Liberals are very very closed minded fascists in thier lock step PC thinking. Think about it.
You’re conforming.
