Portishead - "Third" Reviewed
Now that the album has been officially released, Musicology NYC will quickly cash in with an opinion on Portishead's "Third".
For ten years we have waited. For ten years we have expected Portishead to pick up exactly where they left off. The great thing about Third is the fact that it is not a continuation.
But it also is a necessary part of the Portishead equation. It feels as important as Dummy or Portishead, yet the album is worlds apart from the band's past.
Lost is the trip hop sound that they helped create and found is something new. Something different.
Third seems to be influenced by kraut rock, jazz and funk. And the sounds are fresh-spun in a way that only Portishead could.
Lyrically the album goes to darker placer than anything that has preceded it. There are many highlights including the gorgeous "The Rip". Which begins with an eerie wobble sound familiar to fans, but the track moves to a unusual spot as the song progresses. The album surprises at every turn including the harrowing "Machine Gun", with it's military like percussion.
The album closer "Threads" is the closest thing to Portishead of old, yet there is no hint of a hip-hop beat. It breathes more excitement into an already good album and as it ends it has you wanting more.
Hopefully we don't have to wait another ten years for another with the word Portishead attached to it.

Cloud Cult - Bowery Ballroom 04/18/08
Friday night I went to see one of our favorite bands here at Musicology NYC, Cloud Cult. The Minneapolis based band fronted by Craig Minowa, did not disappoint.
Their live performance embodies everything that you love about music. Within the same set you may find yourself: dancing, crying, laughing, singing, and clapping (among other things...like contemplating the meaning of your existence). This is purposeful, as the band wants you to get the most out of it's performance. And you usually do.
This show was no different.
The band played a set that concentrated on their most recent album Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) and last years The Meaning of 8. The visual affects that the band use are as powerful as the music. A screen flashes digital art behind the band, as an artist on stage paints along with the music (Connie Minowa, Craig's wife). Scott West who usually paints along side Connie was absent.
Rumor has it that this will be the last Cloud Cult album as well as the final tour. If you have never seen this band, please put it on your to do list.
The Rosebuds - Free Download "Sweet Beats, Troubled Sleep"

Lykke Li - "I'm Good, I'm Gone" video
Spanish Prisoners - "Songs To Forget" Reviewed
As promised, a review:
It's hard not to get excited about the Spanish Prisoners. They remind us of early Modest Mouse-with halty vocals, and a song called "Where God Does His Laundry" that brings to mind "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" (well, probably because we aren't quite smart enough to draw any other parallels besides the obvious). And we love Modest Mouse. At times they sound like Wilco (Check out "Dear Just Curious"). And we love Wilco. They have also been compared to Okkervil River. And we love Okkervil River. But most times they sound like...um, the Spanish Prisoners-country fused, indie rock that is irregular yet crystalline.
They are also from Brooklyn and that is always exciting. Because let's face it, you must be from BK if you is to make it these days.
But the capital reason to be excited about the band is the music.
The song "Some Among Them Are Killers"-by itself-has come to rescue us from the monotony that the rock world is slowly becoming. The guitar riff buzzes sweetly in your ear and the vocals tap along with it. But there is fury tied with these lyrics. This rage is underlying throughout the entire album. Melancholy and anger walk hand in hand on these Songs To Forget.
The album fills in around this track. But not in the sense that the rest is filler. It is simply that this is the centerpiece.
Everything else is quite focussed. From the sexy twirl of "Mantequilla", that eventually mellows into a dark love song, to the classic rocking "Periwinkle Blues" and the saddened climactic ending of "Ballad Of An Unfolding" the Brooklyn rockers are onto something here. Something damn good.

Weezer New Song- "Pork & Beans"
Ever since Pinkerton's release in 1996, mention of a new song or album from Weezer has everyone up in arms. Rarely have they held up their end-only a good song or two on each album since. Enter "Pork & Beans", a catchy little ditty with an attitude and it is carrying hope with it. This song offers nothing new to the Weezer sound, but it has some clever lyrics and a very blue album sounding chorus.
Check it out here.

While were on this free download kick, we might as well share this artist named Haale that we have been listening to quit a bit. She is a New Yorker, but she takes her musical influences from places all over the globe. Many places that you have probably never even heard of and she makes them sound familiar and original. This song "Chenan Mastam" is damn good and the album No Ceiling is an album to sit close to your lover too.

Portishead "Third" Live Webcast
Portishead will be performing seven songs from their new album Third tomorrow evening. If you can stay in tomorrow night this may be worth it.
Portishead perform tracks from 'Third'
Portishead in Portishead airs exclusively on www.portishead.co.uk on 11th April at 11pm (GMT) - the band will be performing 7 tracks from the new album 'Third'. To view this you will have to sign up. Your information will be kept by Portishead and not passed on to a 3rd party so we advise signing up early if you haven't already done so to avoid frustration at 10.55pm.
After the 40 minute programme airs on the bands site it will be broadcast on Current TV.
Pacifika - Me Caí
Usually an actor or actress that goes into music is destined fail. Ask Bruce Willis or Paris Hilton (Is she an actress?). But Silvana Kane, the Peruvian born singer for Pacifika has different idea. Check out the video for the bands song "Me Cai". Quite funky and yes, enjoyable.

Be Your Own Pet - "Get Awkward" Reviewed
Be Your Own Pet's new album Get Awkward starts off like you would expect; with growling guitars and searing vocals by singer Jemina Pearl. If there is such a thing as modern commercial punk rock that doesn't sound like something your little sister would listen to, this is it. With violent subject matter that feels surprisingly playful rather than dangerous, the band has grown up. A little bit.
It's impossible not to mention that they are still mostly in their early 20's (and by early 20's I mean 20). And it's impossible not to mention that there is so much room for growth here because of their age. But the snotty-ness in the bands sound makes you want to stop time and not allow for that growth.
However, time does not stop for, you, me or BYOP. So we will have to deal with the semi ballad "You're a Waste" and accept that it's not so bad.
But if you can't listen to that, you can always crank up "Food Fight", "Heart Throb" or "Super Soaked", to recall why it's easy to love these guys. And slyly there is some relatability here too.
"I just want to run around/I just want to party down"
Who hasn't been there?
Be Your Own Pet - Get Awkward: 3 of 5 stars

Juliana Hatfield Blog, Downloads
To be honest I haven't listened to any Juliana Hatfield since the album Only Everything was released back in 1995, but she's doing some pretty cool stuff these days.
She has some downloads available for donation at her website and she has really interesting things to say at her own blog about television and the music world.
And her new music sounds good as well.

Radiohead - Remix
Kevchino has done a great remix of the song "Nude" from Radiohead's In Rainbows album. Vote and listen below. Radiohead, iTunes and GarageBand are giving you the chance to remix as well.
From kevchino news:
From kevchino news:
To make remixing easy, the separate 'stems'* from the song are available to purchase from iTunes here. The 'stems' available are bass, voice, guitar, strings/fx and drums. You can mix them in any way you like, either by adding your own beats and instrumentation, or just remixing the original parts.
If you purchase all five 'stems' from iTunes during the first week they're available, you'll be sent an access code to a GarageBand file ready to open in GarageBand or Logic. However, you don't need GarageBand to do a remix, all the stems are in iTunes Plus format and compatible with several music software platforms.
Finished mixes can be uploaded here where the public will listen and vote for their favourite remix (voting ends May 1st). You can also create a widget allowing votes from your own website, Facebook or MySpace page to be counted as 'mix votes' back on radioheadremix.com. Radiohead will listen to the best remixes.
