Nuevo disco de los Raconteurs la semana que entra

Ayer los Raconteurs mandaron este anuncio:
The Raconteurs are happy to announce that in one week's time their second album, entitled Consolers of the Lonely, will be available EVERYWHERE Tuesday, March 25th. Album' meaning: full length vinyl, CD and digital formats; and 'everywhere' meaning: local mom and pop Indie retailers, corporate superstores, supermarkets, iTunes, Amazon, the band's own website and any other location that could get the record up and going this quickly (some places couldn't move this fast, so they will join in as soon as they can). It contains 14 new recordings and is being released globally on Third Man Records in conjunction with our marketing/distribution partners, XL Recordings and Warner Brothers Records. The album was mastered and completed in the first week of March. It was then taken immediately to a vinyl pressing plant. Then to a CD pressing plant. Then preparations to sell it digitally began. March 25th became the soonest date to have it available in EVERY FORMAT AT ONCE. The band have done no interviews or advertisements for this record before this announcement. The purpose: to get the album to the fans as soon as possible and as we promised. We wanted to get this record to fans, the press, radio, etc., all at the EXACT SAME TIME so that no one has an upper hand on anyone else regarding its availability, reception or perception. With this release, The Raconteurs are forgoing the usual months of lead time for press and radio set up, as well as forgoing the all important 'first week sales'. We wanted to explore the idea of releasing an album everywhere at once and THEN marketing and promoting it thereafter. The Raconteurs would rather this release not be defined by its first weeks sales, pre-release promotion, or by someone defining it FOR YOU before you get to hear it. Another purpose was to also allow people to have their own choice as to exactly which format they would like to hear the album in IMMEDIATELY, rather than having to wait for their favorite format to become available. The band are also not releasing any version of this record that contains bonus tracks. Musically this album will be the same as the band created it no matter what format it is purchased in. (The sound quality of each format however, is a different story. The Raconteurs recommend hearing it on vinyl, but the choice is of course up to the listener). The band also prefer that fans buy the album as a whole instead of breaking up the tracks, but until iTunes and other digital services allows bands to release their albums with the option of NOT breaking it up, it will be sold in that fashion on those particular sites. On the band's website however, the album will be sold in its entirety as an mp3 at 320kb bit rate. Also in Japan, fans will be able to download the record via their mobile phones, as that is how a majority of recorded music is consumed there. The reason we are announcing this release one week ahead of time is because of retail pre-ordering and stocking, information about this album's imminent release was bound to come to light and could be confusing to fans. Also in the event that the record leaks, we didn't want this method of release to be seen as a REACTION to such a leak. It's not. The actual worst thing about a leak is the usual poor sound quality, akin to watching a movie on a wristwatch instead of in a theater. Which for the album's creators is a bit of a letdown, but again, it is completely up to the listener. There will be a video up on the internet for the first single, 'Salute Your Solution', on the 25th as well, provided it gets edited in time. We just filmed it the other day! We hope not to confuse anyone with too many options, or deny them the formats that they like best. The Raconteurs feel very strongly that music has worth and should be treated as such. Thank you to all those who respect music in this fashion, and thank you to our label partners for working with us to get this album to fans in as many formats as possible all at once. Thank you, and we hope that you enjoy Consolers of the Lonely. Sincerely, The Raconteurs
Así que ya saben, el 25 sale nuevo material de Jack y compañía, otra manera de evitar que llegue a internet antes que a las tiendas!

El MX Beat se puso...

...muy bien! La organización fue de lo mejor, en algunos momentos las colas para la comida o las cervezas estuvo algo larga pero nada molesto. El sonido fue excelente y las bandas muy buenas. Yo iba a ver a los Cold War Kids (en mi top 5 de bandas favoritas) y obvio a los Beastie Boys que dieron un tremendo concierto. Jarvis fue una sorpresa para mí ya que no soy tan fan de lo que ha sacado como solista pero en vivo se oye muy muy bien. M.I.A. definitivamente no es lo mio, tampoco los tenis de colores brillantes ni las sudaderas color rosa o doradas las cuales abundaron. También vi a los Teenagers que no son nada del otro mundo pero entretenido o como dicen en el cine "película de palomitas". De las bandas nacionales vi al IMS divertido pero repetitivo y a Playmobil Proyect que si me di algo de hueva! Unos videos de muy baja calidad...

Resumen de la semana

Esta semana fui a ver a Bob Dylan y no fue mi concierto favorito, los arreglos que hizo a "Like a Rolling Stone" hacen que no se pueda cantar, me cago! Quitando eso reconozco que Robert Allen Zimmerman es un verdadero genio. El viernes como parte de mi trabajo fui a grabar una fiesta en el Hard Rock Live de una pagina nueva tipo MySpace, Facebook, etc que se llama Boxnuvo en donde tocaron Jackie O, Bye Bye Monty, Jessy Bulbo y Los Fancy Free, no había mucha gente, vació mejor dicho, pero a mi me gusto mucho, Martin Thulin es muy simpático y en el escenario los Fancy Free son buenísimos. Lo tengo todo grabado así que intentare subir el audio en la semana, mientras les dejo el video del nuevo sencillo Ja Ja Ja.
El sábado fui a Dayaks para hacerme un tatuaje, no duele tanto como me habían dicho, la verdad me gusto mucho y ya estoy pensando en hacerme otro pero tengo que pensar que. A los que no les gusto mi tatuaje muy su pedo, a mi me gusta y significa mucho para mi. Como recomendación musical un cover de Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly a D.A.N.C.E. de Justice aquí.
