Between “Hey You” (Pink Floyd) and “Irresistible Force” (Jane’s Addiction), between digital contortions and analog warmness, keeping original moments and building new monsters, but focusing on the message, this is one of the best mixes I did. This is an uncommon way of saying “Hey, you..!” A warning or a wake-up call. Technology seems to taking over while the man lost his soul. But when the power is out you will have to face yourself and your emptiness…

Reznor came back haunting. Honestly, it was just a matter of time to see Reznor resurrecting the good old Nine Inch Nails trademark and starting all over. Although I was cool with How to Destroy Angels, it was predictable that his fresh start had not the same impact and resonance as the Nine Inch Nails name had, have and will have. Although, “Welcome Oblivion” was a fair, exciting, mature Reznor album and “Hesitation Marks” are picking up from where both Nine Inch Nails with “The Slip” (2008) and How to Destroy Angels left off. Some people need to hang on to labels, to stick to established trademarks, so be it! Nine Inch Nails are back, long live How to Destroy Angels! Or any other way around! 😆
Anyway, if Reznor switched back to NIN only because this trademark assure a bigger commercial success then the use of the less known How to Destroy Angels, that says a lot about us, the audience, consumers, whatever, and not at least the media and the industry, rather then anything about Reznor and the music itself.
Still, there are lot of arguing and debating about Reznor’s contribution, his legacy and how relevant it is what he’s doing lately. Well, no offense, but Skrillex and all the alikes will parish in a few months/years (fortunately, some already did!), while Reznor definitively have something to leave behind, at least a couple of fabulous albums and several unforgettable songs. Industrial or not, it’s another issue, I think it’s totally pointless. This is simply contemporary music. Period. And there was always a sensitive difference between the Nine Inch Nails studio albums and the Nine Inch Nails live performances, I always loved both, but the live performances always were murderous. And it’s not different this time around, check out 2013-07-26 Niigata, Japan, Fuji Rocks Festival performance and you will be nailed. Literally. Read more Nine Inch Nails – Hesitation Marks (2013)

If you know this band, you’re a bloody son of a bitch, if you don’t, well, you’re consuming the oxygen in vein! 😆 Kidding and not quit. This is really good. Juicy, vivid, fresh fusion music with roots back to Frank Zappa and reaching out to Mr. Bungle and Cardiacs. Bold, true blood avant-garde.

This is a true rock’n’roll story from the dawn of the 70s spiced with street gangs, territory fights, illegal trades, drugs and prostitution, rivalry, murders and the fresh spirit of The Beatles.
Three brothers, Benjy, Victor and Robert Melendez were among the founding members of the Ghetto Brothers. While the 1960s was giving way to the rise of gang culture in the Bronx, the Melendez brothers were playing Beatles pop songs on street corners in a tribute band they called “Los Junior Beatles”. Later, they began paying attention to rising urban activist groups such as the Black Panthers and Puerto Rican nationalist group, the Young Lords. “Los Junior Beatles” officially took the name “Ghetto Brothers” and played frequently at community events. The songs they wrote became more socially conscious, as did their gang. Empowered by the revolutionary spirit, the Ghetto Brothers became a positive organization that cleaned up their streets, pushed out the drugs and prostitution, boosted morale and kept the community safe. The Melendez brothers were also Sephardic Jews that practiced their religion in secret while being part of a Hispanic community.
The “Power-Fuerza” album was informally released in Read more Ghetto Brothers – Power-Fuerza (1972)
