What Are You Listening To?

Maybe my favorite soundtrack. Finally bought on vinyl. This is the Italian release of the soundtrack for Átame or Tie me up tie me down.

I am not big about soundtracks but have been picking up some Ennio. I hear his influence on bands I love like Stereolab and New Order.

Bandalos Chinos have been around since 2009 and quite popular in Argentina, looks like they are trying to break into the US market as they did their first tour here 2023 including a stop at Comet Ping Pong.

Watching this right now

Very coincidentally, I just rewatched that film for the first time since it came out last week.

interesting
Almodóvar admired Morricone's soundtracks for westerns, but found the music for Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! conventional and uninspiring, too similar to Morricone's work for the film Frantic, and used only half of Morricone's music

Wow


😮

Mind blown


I agree it’s not edgy but to me it helps make the movie a weird modern day fairytale

After abandoning Wales for a very brief incursion into the Belgian Garage Rock Scene I've now set my sights on South American...

I just find myself enjoying Bandalos Chinos for which I've several people refer to the singer as the Latin American version of young Gary Oldman..

This has led me to check out some other newer Argentina groups, 1915, NAFTA, Usted Señalemel and Lo' Pibitos

while watching the Usted Señalemel KEXP performance they mentioned La Máquina Camaleón who are an Ecuadorian indie rock band whose sound is similar to   Bandalos Chinos

knowing hutch has posted about Argentine rock in the past here I found his thoughts on the passing of Gustavo Cerati of Soda Stereo and currently giving them a listen.

tip of the iceberg as usual

[grateful]

punta del iceberg con seguridad

[kosmo vinyl]

So any suggestions on where to start with for listening to Luis Alberto Spinetta as he seems to huge influence, one artist mentioned "Pelusón of Milk" they also mentioned Gustavo Cerati’s "Siempre Es Hoy" so that's on my list

Currently i'm listening to Miranda! from Brazil who fall squarely in the dance pop world

Pescado Rabioso - Artaud

definately off my radar, but enjoying already

Google did a doodle for his 70th birthday 4 years ago

Artaud is really a solo album all but in name. Cerati covered Bajan from it on his first solo album. My favorite musician - Calamaro- also covered Bajan in addition to Todas las hojas son del viento (I want to say)

I think on Rate your music Spinetta has a few albums in the top 1000. Definitely a heavyweight.

[hutch]

Nothing to sneeze at! 208!!!

Yeah total brain fart on my part, definitely getting similar vibes as k-pop from them.

I assume you have this on vinyl with the irregular trapezoid album cover?

Sounds like Jeff Buckley! 30 years before him
