little discoveries

Well, Santa Cruz was amazing. I met a lot of rad folks out there and good times were shared over alcohol.

I had a lot of time on my hands as I took the Greyhound out from San Francisco to Santa Cruz. So my friend and I frentically traded iPods and searched through each other's library. Here's a couple of songs that we had among our iPods that I never really listened to, but now appreciate.

Fellini - "Rock Europeu" (download)
I had this downloaded from some random blog. I don't know why I hadn't listened to it thoroughly before, but now I'm glad that I have. My friend was initially drawn by it because of the band's name (named after the famous film-maker). To me, this song sounds like the spawn of The Clash and New Order. Can anyone direct me to the band's website or something? I've been googling for hours.

The Rinse - "Rollerskating" (download)
I absolutely love this.

Modest Mouse - "Ocean Breathes Salty" (download)
My friend had their latest album on his iPod. Oh god, I almost forget how good this album is. This and the "Float On" single are gold.

That Fellini Track is off the Brazillian Post Punk compilation "The Sexual Life of the Savages" out on Soul Jazz records. It's a great release. You can find more Fellini on Nao Wave (another Brazillian Post Punk Comp) out on Man Records.

Fellini is over, I think.
They don't have a website, but you can try Midsummer Madness to find out more about them, the last time I saw them playing was in 2003 with Whirlwind Heat as opening act.

Try out Vibrosensores, I think you'll like.
