Raooul/Skinned Teen 12"

RIOT GRRRL!

I love it. And i'm a dude. I probably have vagina envy.

I really love it when they speed it up, and get like close to hardcore, sonically. Not alot of bands back in the day did this, and the prime example that I can come up with, is Raooul. Mostly because they only have one major recording, this split 12" with Skinned Teen, they've been forgotten. Well, that's just not fair!

Lots of screaming, amateur playing, roughness, shit-tons of profanity, and a little sass. Yeah! The type of music your mother is guarenteed to HATE.

This shares alot sonically to Yum Yum Tree. I blogged about them earlier, check them out if you like this.

Oh Foot- Algernon

Oh foot is a local indie pop duet. Not bad, but not super great or original, in my opinion. They do harmonize with each other well, and that's it's redeeming factor, in my opinion.



It's quieter than most indie pop, and in a lot of ways feels more 60's folky. My favorite is the cover of what is love?, personally.

Felt like sharing music but not like talking much. So here you go, at 320. Hope you enjoy it.

The Blue Up?

This morning I have a cd by a band that I just came across. It's odd, pretty obscure and I'm super educated about this new find, but i'm really diggin' it. But, I've been blogging about getting your musical vegetables, so here it is for you to check out.

From what i've found, the blue up? was a rock band from minneanapolis in the early 90's, and it owes a ton to babes in toyland, one of my favorite early 90's female alternative bands. So, I'm into the blue up? a little from the begininng, and while I don't think it's as good as babes in toyland, it's a unique listen with it's own positives.

Ana Voog, the main singer/member has done some solo work and currently has a 24hr art cam project going on.

Here's their main album, at 320 of course.

Endive Discog.

You may or may not know that I have a deep love for early emocore/math rock/indie rock. Well, you do now. The problem is, the field was heavily dominated by men, so it makes it hard for me to blog about. A while back I came across an early midwest emo band-Endive- who had a female singer. It made me very happy. It made me less happy to find out they only recorded a couple of songs.

All I know is that they were from Indianapolis and later were involved with this band majhas and some other hardcore screamo bands.

Too bad, I guess. Enjoy what they left here at Globulos Negros:

Poppet-Bird's the Word EP

Sorry about the long stretch with no awesome music. I'm back with something amazing- Poppet.

She's a local to sacramento/davis, ca and i've seen her a number of times, and it is just better each time. We've labeled her the "davis' loop pedal princess", which should clue you into what exactly she's up to, basically a cappela stuff with loop pedals and a keyboard. Some of it is cute, some of it is wierd, some of it is melancholic, some just can't be explained. Her voice yelps all over the place, usually something to do with birds (thus the title "Birds the Word"). In alot of ways, she's like Birds Fled From Me, another loop pedalist from Santa Cruz that I blogged about a while ago.

It's very simple, and has a room recording feel (but not in like a lo-fi sense). It's like garage rock (as in the sense that garage rock is really just bastardized rock) but with keyboards and loop pedals.

But what can I say? I'm a wierd guy who sometimes like wierd things. Maybe people who haven't seen her live won't understand it.

Definiately give it a listen at the least.

Not to toot my own horn too much, but I just want to post the link to one of the radio shows that I host on kdvs. I cohost a female vocalist show (who would've guessed), and this past week we played mostly twee/indie pop, so I figured I'd share it all with you so you can learn some new bands and enjoy some classics.

Elefant Records EP Collection

I'm blogging awfully early this morning. I'm patting myself on my back.

Anyways, I've got a lovely little collection of EP's that Elefant Records released on a sampler back in 2000, mostly Spanish (as in from Spain) indie pop from 1994-2000. (The band Supercute is from Wales, and Juniper Moon is more pop-punk).

The whole collection is awesome, especially if you love cutesy female indie pop/twee pop/rock in general. And, if you need to practice your Spanish, this is the way to do it!

Yeah! 90's indie pop!

Ripped at 320 for your sonic pleasure.
