SOTW2924 nothing,nowhere. "nevermore (one take)"

This past week was an oddity in my life. I had to go to El Paso every day and way too early for my liking. There's something about being stuck in line with a whole bunch of other cars waiting for your turn to cross the border that,

SOTW1824 Gracie Abrams "Risk"

There's one interesting thing that comes with growing up and that's a weird sense of confidence. Once you realize it, things start to look quite different because even though you may not be sure of what's to come somehow it doesn't feel so threatening as when you were younger.

SOTW1624 Bilmuri "THEMURIWITHHUMANHAIR"

Sometimes when good things end, they lay the foundation for better things.

SOTW1424 From Indian Lakes "Runner"

From Indian Lakes used to play hardcore music, then Joey Vannucchi decided to make an album that sounded like you breathe out of the water or fall asleep for the first time.

SOTW1224 José Madero "Hablemos del Campo"

This week the song of the week is in Spanish and you'll have to deal with it. Yeah, yeah, I know. This blog is mostly written in English and that's by design —it's originally meant to help me improve my writing, thinking and orthography—

SOTW1024 Isaac App "Dance With Demons"

Isaac App with another banger. It's been on rotation in AELO non-stop since release.

SOTW0924 Flyleaf "All Around Me"

Sometimes it goes, sometimes it comes back. It's unstoppable, undeniable and relentless. I'm talking about the urge to go back to emo mode.

SOTW0824 Makari "Closer"

It's been great these last weeks. Why? 'Cause the songs that have left an impression the last three or four weeks have come to me, instead of me having to look for them. Imagine that? You'd be stuck with lousy emo songs from the 2000&

SOTW0724 San Fermin "Wasting on Me"

Ever since I saw them perform in Audiotree Live back in 2013, I've been hooked to San Fermin. They're my favorite band since then and I feel a really strong connection to them and what they write, both lyrically and musically. I've written about

SOTW0624 Eidola "No Weapon Formed Shall Prosper"

Since we're in the process of knowing each other, let me tell you this straight up: I really, really, really like hardcore music. This week one of the bands I follow in the genre released new music and, of course, it has become the song of the week.

SOTW0524 Too Close To Touch "Control"

In 2022, I rediscovered Too Close To Touch, a band I loved but unfortunately forgot about, only to find news about the lead singer, Keaton Pierce, passing away a few months prior to my rediscovery. I haven't stopped listening to them since then. Well, on January 31st guitarist

SOTW0424 Yellowcard "Ocean Avenue"

Just last week I was telling you about how working from home led me in a search for ambient music and what I've found so far. Well, turns out I was missing on some familiar faces, too. Yellowcard released a reinterpretation of their legendary hit "Ocean Avenue&

SOTW0324 Kenichiro Nishihara "Sincerely"

Ever since starting working remotely – from home, if you may – there's a constant need in my life: background noise. Working from home has a lot of positives, but there's also a few negatives that can make your experience really shitty. I would say the worst of

SOTW0224 The Smiths "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"

Yeah, yeah, I know. The freaking song from (500) Days of Summer. What a joke. Well, yeah, I'm with you. That movie – which we all loved and now love to hate – is the first thing that comes to mind when hearing the song. I don't know

SOTW0124 City and Colour "Friends"

In case you don't speak Spanish and cannot understand a few of my past blog posts, I've been selecting a song to represent the week we just lived. These posts include CDLS in the title, meaning "Canción De La Semana", which translates to "

CDLS 47 2023 - Corook CGI (Louis La Roche Remix)

Como muchos, he llegado al punto de quiebre. Ya no puedo seguir escuchando la misma musica de los ultimos 20 años – bueno, si puedo, pero hoy estoy cansado. Siguiendo el instructivo de chico Millennial, escribi en la barra de busqueda de mi navegador "mejores formas para buscar musica nueva&

CDLS 31 2023 - Emarosa "Stay"

Hay mucho que decir de Emarosa, una banda con trayectoria larga y cambios bastante radicales en sus vocalistas y estilos musicales. Pero creo que eso debemos dejarlo para otro momento y enforcanos hoy en la cancion de la semana. Y la verdad es que "Stay" tiene un no

CDLS 02 2023 - Isaac app "TANGO"

I'll say it straight: I'm not one to listen to rap. But you gotta listen to this. If you know me personally, you know I'm a Rocket League fan. It's ridiculous even for me but there's something about it that

CDLS 49 2022 - Too Close To Touch "Before I Cave In"

There's some bands and songs you always remember. Then there's some you always forget. Unfortunately, for me, Too Close To Touch falls in the latter and, honestly, it's a shame. I just rediscovered them recently – having loved their debut album – when out of nowhere

CDLS - Astronauts, etc "See you"

Buen día Lectorsillos, espero se encuentren bien. Con ustedes, la canción de la semana. Espero les guste un poco y convierta su Jueves en Viernes.
