Riceboy Sleeps: Among 2009's Best Albums
Riceboy Sleeps is the side-project of Sigur Ros frontman, Jónsi and his life partner Alex. I honestly can’t do it any more justice than the description they offer on their web site:
“… a gorgeous and intoxicating 68-minute instrumental album.”
For those who are familiar with Sigur Ros, think Sigur Ros w/o the vocals (it’s an instrumental album). Here is a music player, so you can listen to the tracks:

Los Amigos Invisibles – Mentiras
El nuevo album (“Commercial“) de Los Amigos Invisibles sigue mas o menos la misma linea del trabajo anterior de la banda. Combinando un sonido sabroso que sirve de puente entre musica latina y acid jazz, el grupo sigue creando material para bailar y disfrutar.
El album ofrece alternativas a la voz de Julio, el cantante de siempre tales como el chileno Jorge Gonzalez, de Los Prisioneros y la mexicana Natalia Lafourcade, lo cual refresca un tanto el sonido de la banda .
Tracks memorables: el del video que comparto a continuacion (“Mentiras“) y “Oyeme Nena”. Seguro mas temas iran saltando y volviendose nuevos clasicos.
Goodbye, Last.FM!
In late December 2005, I wrote about Last.FM on this blog. Ever since, I have been using it, building up my listening profile (you can see a screenshot of the top 20 most listened to artists in the past four years above) and discovering new music as a result.
Today, I learned that CBS, Last.FM’s parent company, handed over user listening data to the RIAA. I felt insulted by this move. I pay for the music I listen to (actually, I am finding myself using LaLa more and more, so I am gradually worrying less and less about having MP3 files sitting on my hard drive, since I can stream them through LaLa). But I personally have an issue with RIAA and their scare tactics.
Therefore, as of today, I removed the Last.FM application from my computers and deleted my Last.FM account for good. It was a good service. It’s so sad that they decided to become a part of RIAA’s game…
Riceboy Sleeps – Daníell In the Sea
Today, I learned about Riceboy Sleeps, a spinoff project of Jonsi from Sigur Ros with his partner, Alex Somers. I was listening to Dark Was The Night, a double-album to raise funds for HIV/AIDS and was instantly drawn into the track titled “Happiness” by Riceboy Sleeps started to play.
They play a very ethereal form of ambient music. Here is the video for the song “Daníell In the Sea.”

One of our office neighbors introduced me to Noe Venable. She is local to the Bay Area and regularly tours with Ani Difranco. She is an amazingly talented singer/songwriter. Here is the track “Sparrow I Will Fly”.
