"Two Riders Were Approaching"

"The task was to fill exactly one CD (that is 80mins max) with a melange of tunes new and old, weird and commercial, uplifting, loud, crazy, unexpected, beloved, typical and whatever else they might be.
As long as they form a collection that we'd like to listen to this summer.
The task was to make a group of songs that make us want to dance, drive faster, drink a mojito more, feel alive and embrace the nostalgic moments a summer has to offer.
Did we fulfill our tasks? I strongly doubt so..too ambitious, too little time.
Nevertheless, the results of our quest will be played this evening in a special AboutTheSunCast and we will offer our CD's as a download for you to burn and spin through the summer."

The post above, our blog duties in general and our worries were left behind for the last 3 weeks, since your favorite bloggers rested (or so we keep telling ourselves) on the golden beaches of the three legged-paradise... As far as we're concerned, the tasks were fulfilled. We drove listening to our CDs, we went to a concert, we drank a mojito or a "submarine" more, we danced (a bit), we fought over my need to read a newspaper and we finally met Sr. Cartmanez's mentor's brother!
But since the summer is not over for many of you, our three compilation CDs are available for you to download and enjoy with the sun hitting your face.
"The Sun Smells Too Loud". Summer 2010 awaits us... Better, stronger and drunker...

Twit-Twit-Twit...

As you are all well aware by now, we are always searching for methods to push the bar further and incorporate fancy new technology and trends into our tireless (uhm...yeah) efforts to reach you guys with our musical tastes.

So we just had to include Twitter into this endeavour. thus you could expect the occasional tweet from one of us to appear on both twitter and on the right on the top right of this blog saying that we are bored with the Boredoms, drinking coffee to Blur, eating icecream with some Slayer, driving our cars (dude...where is my car?) to some Pelican while watching the waves or anything of the sort.
Yes, we want to share those cute little moments that we so often describe and it will help us harness the occasional spontaneous moment to communicate with you guys.
You might also want to drop in to leave us a comment if you liked a certain idea or notion, so as usual, it is meant to be VERY interactive.

We do all of this for you, people...

"There is no spoon..."

Another successful Radio Show has come to pass. Once again, a big thank you to our listeners. The recording from the Soundtracks tribute is now available for you to download. Sorry about the delay, but we had to put all our audio engineering skills in motion to fix some problems. The result is of high quality for you to enjoy properly. In other news, all podcasts have been updated, with better ID3 tags and some artwork. We are perfectionists...(when we want!)
Also, all the links from the "Music" section have been updated, since most of them were inactive. So, those of you who listen to us only from the web-radio, have a look at the albums, it's really worth it. Again, the promise for more music posts, stays...
Before the end of June, another special tribute will be presented, so we can send you away in groovy, psychedelic and pretty fucked up fashion for the summer! Stay tuned...
