Odd Gila: Junior Boys – So This is Goodbye
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2013/07/junior-boys-so-this-is-goodbye.html
Sunday, July 28, 2013. Junior Boys – So This is Goodbye. When it comes to electronic music, the brand that Junior Boys has created is definitely some of the easiest to get into. Accessible and yet heady with minimal tendencies, the kind of music this duo crafts is both masterfully composed and easy to get lost in. Their second album, So This is Goodbye. Focused on a brighter kind of sound than their first album and before the moody soundscapes of Begone Dull Care. So This is Goodbye. When No One Cares.

Odd Gila: Los Zafiros - "He Venido" (BB)
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2013/07/los-zafiros-he-venido-bb.html
Saturday, July 27, 2013. Los Zafiros - "He Venido" (BB). He venido a decirte, que te sigo queriendo. He venido a decirte, que te sigo amando. Que quiero estar contigo…cada día más y más. He venido a decirte, que nada ni nadie. Podrá separarme, ni podrá arrancarme. De mi alma tu amor. Por tu amor soy capaz, de enfrentarme a cualquiera. Por tu amor soy capaz, de dar mi vida entera. He venido a decirte, que te sigo queriendo. Que te sigo amando, que te sigo adorando. Cada dia más y más. So back when I wrote...

Odd Gila: Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (Again)
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2010/08/arcade-fire-suburbs-again.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (Again). I love how this album has been able to grab my attention and keep it firmly held; and yet, in retrospect, I’ve held it close to my heart the entire time as well. It’s the first album since 2007 (tell you all about that. Album later) that I’ve fallen head over heels for and although I’ve battled against it with some other awesome stuff (I mean, come on, that Janelle Monáe video? But this song is the epitome of what this gorgeous album is made ...

Odd Gila: Michael Jackson – Thriller
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2013/01/michael-jackson-thriller.html
Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Michael Jackson – Thriller. No idea how there is not one post about this man here. To be honest, I’ve tried before but everything I started to type feels so not. Special, so unnecessary and mostly, lame – kind of like this. But after I pulled out this album and another Kanye West album and noticed I have Yeezy at eight (! Posts to MJ’s zero (soon to be one! This album here, Thriller. By the way, MJ owned one of the E.T. So I surely had to raise my voice in these occasions.

Odd Gila: Bonobo – Black Sands
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2010/05/bonobo-black-sands.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. Bonobo – Black Sands. Usually, you have those albums that are recommended from side to side by variously different people. Sometimes, it might be getting some relatively good reviews, sometimes you can continue to hear it mentioned by different circles of people. But most of the time, it takes something peculiar to really get you to listen to what’s going on. And that’s the case with this fantastic album, Black Sands. 8220;Eyesdown” by Bonobo. We Could Forever" by Bonobo. The firs...

Odd Gila: Fuck Buttons – Tarot Sport
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2013/08/fuck-buttons-tarot-sport.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. Fuck Buttons – Tarot Sport. I was watching Top Chef: Masters tonight and one of the contestants commented on how “food should be like an Arcade Fire song…layers and layers…it should be like an orchestra” and it sounded pretty well-versed to me. It’s always good to see that music can reach a wide range, even if it is or isn’t because of The Suburbs. Before but one distinction that some of the best music does have is layers and lots of them. Or even, The Avalanches. Amongst all t...

Odd Gila: Classic Film Music
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2013/08/classic-film-music.html
Friday, August 2, 2013. It’s the opening weekend of the Plaza Classic Film Festival. And this year the world’s largest classic film festival. I had first heard Adagio for Strings. Back when I was in high school and my old band director showed it to me. A slow-moving and equally slow-burning song, it was made even more famous when Platoon. Which played at the festival today (Thursday Aug 1) but we didn’t attend (it was $20! I’m not sure if Mo’ Better Blues. After John Coltrane’s brilliant four-piece...

Odd Gila: D’Angelo – Brown Sugar
http://oddgila.blogspot.com/2013/09/dangelo-brown-sugar.html
Thursday, September 5, 2013. D’Angelo – Brown Sugar. Long before he made noise as an R&B swooner with Voodoo. D’Angelo created his debut album, Brown Sugar. Such a hit. This song showcases the keyboard skills that D’Angelo possesses and it makes you wonder why he has, to this date, only recorded two albums. (Although there are rumors that a new one is on the way soon.). Or its follower for that matter. – Bryan. When We Get By. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). D’Angelo – Brown Sugar. The first time I h...
