There are albums that could have just a single track. The Bravery by The Bravery opens with “Honest Mistake“, nice song, you would think “promising start” but the album could end right after that, the remaining ten tracks sound like a not so brave copy of The Strokes.

Really, there is nothing new on this album, but I was already impressed in the middle of “Stick to the formula”. Yet another nice 30 minute noise-rock like Wavvves or Nouns.

Last Monday, 26/05, I went to the concert of Broken Social Scene in Tavastia. Broken Social Scene is the kind of music I really like so I was very excited before the concert! This was the last concert of the tour titled “Impregnate the Skies” which lasted three weeks featuring seven members of the band, Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin, Sam Goldberg, Amy Millan, and Evan Cranley. In the stage you could see smiles, laughs, hugs and kisses, feel their joy playing the tunes, and I think that happiness was successfully transmitted to the crowd. Amazing concert. Here, the opening song, “7/4 Shoreline”,
Check the photoset of the concert, by a-c.

Today I remembered this song and video from the portuguese band Repórter Estrábico.
the fucking cops are fucking keen
to fucking keep it fucking clean
the fucking chief’s a fucking swine
who fucking draws a fucking line
at fucking fun and fucking games
the fucking kids he fucking blames
are nowehere to be fucking found
anywhere in chicken townthe fucking scene is fucking sad
the fucking news is fucking bad
the fucking weed is fucking turf
the fucking speed is fucking surf
the fucking folks are fucking daft
don’t make me fucking laugh
it fucking hurts to look around
everywhere in chicken townthe fucking train is fucking late
you fucking wait you fucking wait
you’re fucking lost and fucking found
stuck in fucking chicken townhe fucking view is fucking vile
for fucking miles and fucking miles
the fucking babies fucking cry
the fucking flowers fucking die
the fucking food is fucking muck
the fucking drains are fucking fucked
the colour scheme is fucking brown
everywhere in chicken townthe fucking pubs are fucking dull
the fucking clubs are fucking full
of fucking girls and fucking guys
with fucking murder in their eyes
a fucking bloke is fucking stabbed
waiting for a fucking cab
you fucking stay at fucking home
the fucking neighbors fucking moan
keep the fucking racket down
this is fucking chicken townthe fucking train is fucking late
you fucking wait you fucking wait
you’re fucking lost and fucking found
stuck in fucking chicken townthe fucking pies are fucking old
the fucking chips are fucking cold
the fucking beer is fucking flat
the fucking flats have fucking rats
the fucking clocks are fucking wrong
the fucking days are fucking long
it fucking gets you fucking down

Some time ago I got the last album of Why?, Alopecia, it is a very interesting and consistent. They present a unique mix of hip-hop and indie-rock which at the first listening I found intriguing because it really keeps strong elements from both genres.
It was interesting to see two sets of drums, one played by the singer, the instruments going around all the band members, but above all to notice that their unique hip-hop/indie-rock fusion works even better live where you can see from where all the small sounds come from. Big plus for the versatility of the singer and power of the drums. Nice to watch live especially in a small place like Kuudes Linja where the band members were seated in a sofa selling t-shirts and albums. First time in this place for a concert, looking forward to come back for more, there was Atlas Sound today but my body demands some rest! Waiting for Broken Social Scene now, 26.05.
