Victor has chosen the Mars Volta to be his artist.

from Wikipedia
"De-Loused in the Comatorium is the first studio album by the progressive rock band The Mars Volta. Based on a short story by lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and sound manipulation artist Jeremy Michael Ward, it is the hour-long tale of Cerpin Taxt, a man who tries to kill himself by overdosing on a mixture of morphine and rat poison. The attempt lands him in a week-long coma during which he experiences visions of humanity and his own psyche. Upon waking, he is dissatisfied with the real world and jumps to his death. The story of Cerpin Taxt is based on the death of El Paso, Texas artist (and Bixler-Zavala's friend) Julio Venegas. De-Loused became both critically and commercially their biggest hit, eventually selling in excess of 500,000 copies despite next-to-no promotion, and was featured on several critics' "Best of the Year" lists. The album was ranked number 55 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitar albums of all time."Drunkship of Lanterns" was named the 91st best guitar song of all-time by Rolling Stone. The music contained in De-Loused is distinguished by its enigmatic lyrics, Jazz rhythms, odd time signatures, and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's frenetic guitar riffs, which are often harshly dissonant. The title of this album is taken from the lyrics of the song "Eunuch Provocateur" on the band's previous release, Tremulant."

here is # 49.

Wendy from Gardena, CA

question 1: where do you go to find your music?

Answer: i find my music through people , band pages, friends , relatives , people i meet. i get CDs from people or jump through videos on youtube.

question 2: do you find yourself supporting more 'underground' acts rather than the so-called 'mainstream' artists?

Answer:definitely a very close friend of mine.


question 3: who are 5 of the most influential artists, to you?

Answer: frank sinatra, john lennon, jimi hendrix, bradley nowell, Beatles. :]


question 4: if you could ask any musician (alive or dead) a question, who would it be & what would you ask?

Answer: i would ask bradley nowell what was so horrible that he had to go and overdose on heroin. he was doing great and he made music that everyone could have enjoyed. he could have had a great life... :/

question 5: does music ever have an influence on the men/women you're interested in?

Answer: yes , very much so. i mean people can have their own interests and all but i am more drawn to someone with an open mind about music or enjoys at least some of the same musicians as me and doesnt put me down about my tastes.

question 6: do you prefer shopping for your music at chains (ie, Virgin Megastore, F.Y.E, etc.) or 'mom & pop' record stores?

Answer: neither , i dont do much shopping at stores when i go looking for music. but i dont steal either.

question 7: would you say you go to shows with 'underground' artists that are usually at small venues or large concerts with the 'flavor of the week'?

Answer: well i dont go out to shows much , but when i do its usually very rare and its small shows in peoples back yards , i find that experience much more personal and its more fun for all involved , not to mention the music is more likely to sound more original , also im not into huge names so big concerts like that arent a big deal.

question 8: how does it make you feel when you hear that one of your favorite artists have 'sold out'?

Answer: really sad, and i know that maybe their music isnt going to sound the same and all these people will claim to like them but not even know their stuff they made when they started out , they werent there to support them. but if it makes them happy , it IS their music ...so...its their choice.

question 9: how do you support your local music scene?

Answer: well i have a few friends in bands , so i make sure to tell all my other friends about them and that they should listen to their stuff. :]

question 10: if there is one song you would say describes your life at the moment, which song would it be?

Answer: maybe...is this love? by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.


Wendy chose Frank Sinatra to be her artist.

from Blog Critics

'Covering his brilliant Capitol years only, Sinatra at the Movies includes the title themes to The Tender Trap, From Here to Eternity, Young at Heart, Three Coins in the Fountain, and Not as a Stranger. Also from Young at Heart is the classic “Just One of Those Things,” which is done with its more familiar up-tempo arrangement (In later years, Sinatra sometimes performed the song as a ballad, or "saloon song" as he called them).

Four other movies are represented by two songs each, with “I Love Paris” and “C’est Magnifique” from Can Can, “How Deep is the Ocean” and “All of Me” from Meet Danny Wilson, “I Could Write a Book” and “The Lady is a Tramp” from Pal Joey, and “All the Way” and “Chicago” from The Joker is Wild.

It should be noted that while all of these songs are from Sinatra movies, they are not the versions recorded for the movies. Rather, they are the versions from his Capitol albums (“Chicago” is the version from Come Fly With Me for instance). To get the tracks from the movies, one may consider the Sinatra in Hollywood box set.

Sinatra at the Movies is part of a larger media blitz that includes a U.S. postage stamp (entering circulation in May) and television programming spotlighting Sinatra’s movies and television specials. While many of the tracks on Sinatra at the Movies are timeless standards, the CD barely scratches the surface of Sinatra’s recorded legacy, making it a bad starting point for new fans and a must-own for completists only.'

A New Start

so here i am, with a new project. i plan on asking 50 people a set of 10 questions, just to see how people feel about music & what influences their tastes and things of that nature.
here is my first post in this new project.

Hektor from Los Angeles, CA

question 1: where do you go to find your music?

Answer: i go wherever my ear takes me. i usually hear and get my music from friends

question 2: do you find yourself supporting more 'underground' acts rather than the so-called 'mainstream' artists?

Answer: definitely more towards the underground music. i cant stand so called musicians who work more on a "catchy" beat than having any real meaning in their lyrics

question 3: who are 5 of the most influential artists, to you?

Answer: I'd have to say 9th Wonder, The Real Mckenzies, The Djali Zwan, Celso Pina

question 4: if you could ask any musician a question, who would it be & what would you ask?

Answer: I'd ask Joey Ramone what influenced his style being that he was such an isolated awkward teen .I'd also ask Elvis Presley(??) if hes dead or not right now or if he died when he said he did

question 5: does music ever have an influence on the men/women you're interested in?

Answer: usually, in a positive way though. it seems that the music i like is very good to alot of people. i think it influences everyone seeing that you can kinda make out who the person is according to what they listen to. i like underground hip-hop and reggae mostly and those to are really emotion filled type of music, so girls im interested usually can tell that im lay back and expressive, if that makes sense

question 6: do you prefer shopping for your music at chains (ie, Virgin Megastore, F.Y.E, etc.) or 'mom & pop' record stores?

Answer: mom and pop store most definitely. in those chain stores i can never find artist i like enjoy listening to. but i shop little at chain stores. where im from (south central) the ska scene is live and kicking and alotta these bands have great music so more than anything i get my music from the streets

question 7: would you say you go to shows with 'underground' artists that are usually at small venues or large concerts with the 'flavor of the week'?

Answer: small venues... meaning backyard shows. 3 or 5 bucks usually gets you in and whats great about it its all local so you'll have familiar faces all around you. but "small venue" shows are really great too. you get to be closer to the artist and it feels more personal

question 8: how does it make you feel when you hear that one of your favorite artists have 'sold out'?

Answer: i get mad seeing that some people believe that they sold out because there friends know who they are or because they are hearing there name around. but in other cases i think its neccesary for them to sell out. everyone needs to get paid right? and if your good enough to actually make it in the music industry then more props to you

question 9: how do you support your local music scene?

Answer: showing up to the local shows when i have free time on friday, starudays and sundays, helping them with promotional flyers and logos and sometimes set up shows for them to play at.

question 10: if there is one song you would say describes your life at the moment, which song would it be?

Answer: Red Stores Bums song "Tumbleweed"

and this is pretty much how it is going to go with everyone else. i know it seems boring, but it's fun seeing people's answers. :D
now, as for the album, i've chosen 10,000 Shots by the Real Mckenzies

from MP3MANIACO

Evidently, Fat Mike's a pretty big fan of the Real McKenzies. He signed them to Fat Wreck for 2005's 10,000 Shots, and even played bass for most of the album under the alias "Fat McMichael." Other than their shifting lineup, though, the McKenzies remain largely unchanged from the sound of past records like Oot & Aboot or Loch'd & Loaded. Shots is full of revved-up Scottish traditionals and revivalist punk originals, and the endearingly gruff Paul McKenzie leads the way. The rousing "Pour Decision" puts bagpipes over Social Distortion rhythm guitar, and Mike Ness would certainly be happy with McKenzie's sentiment. "A punk musician just ain't as cute at 53," he sings. "I have forsaken money makin'/Yeah, you still wish you were me." It's this self-deprecating pride that separates the McKenzies from similarly hybridist groups like Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly. They're looser, more ragged, maybe a little less reverent. It's not that McKenzie is less proud of his Scottish Canadian heritage, or less committed to old favorites like "Farewell to Nova Scotia" or songs set to the words of legendary Scottish bard Robert Burns. But like Fat Mike and NOFX, there's a rambling, rapid-fire sense of humor to the Real McKenzies' work, heard here in "Bugger Off," say, or the good-natured slag "I Hate My Band" ("They've cost me my dog, my job and my wife!"). Matt MacNasty's bagpipe is particularly impressive over the melodic hardcore stutter of "Skeleton and the Tailor," and "Catalpa" is acoustic with impressive harmony vocals and mandolin leads, while the punchy, triumphant "Best Day Until Tomorrow" dispenses some advice any grandmother from the old country would heartily endorse. "Enjoy what'chas got, not what you have not."
