¡Prospero Año Nuevo! de La ¡Cinta!

May 2009 Bring More Nipples From Our Favorite Indie/Alt Sex Symbols
(and maybe some music too!)

LaCinta: Best Album 2009 (Before I’ve Decided Best Album 2008!?)

Couldn’t sleep tonight.  I had the opportunity to listen to a legit vinyl copy of Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009), and it was awesome, and I’m too excited to sleep.
This might be the only time in the history (and future) of the world that I get to somewhat confidentaly name my favorite album of [...]

LaCinta: 20 Most Disappointing LPs 2008

This is a list of the 20 LPs that disappointed me the most in 2008.  They are not all bad albums (although some of them most certainly are) rather they are albums that I had much higher expectations for.  All of these albums made me a little bit sad the first time I listened to [...]

No Wonder The Postal Service Isn’t Going to Record a New Album…

According to Pitchfork – in one of their only new updates during the holidays – Ben Gibbard & Zooey Deschanel are engaged.
What is more indie/less-indie than those two getting married!?
I mean two indie stars getting married is pretty indie… but somehow marriage itself seems not very indie at all.  Especially when we love/hate Gibbard for [...]

Think I’m Going To Start Purging…

Been trying to finalize the rest of my year end lists, and my music collection is totally stressing me out.
It’s out of control, and it’s totally time to purge.
I’ve been dreading this day since the day music was invented.
I’m terrible at throwing things out, and the thought of ‘organizing’ makes me sweat and tremble.
Wish me [...]

Xmas ‘Wrap’ Up

Who got/gave the coolest present for Christmas this year?
The worst present I got for Xmas this year was the Xmas Plague.
It’s kind of like the black death…
..but instead instead of being remembered by dramatic portrayals of the bubonic plague sweeping industrial England:

..it will be remembered by post-capitalistic pictures of post-Xmas Xmas trees being carried to [...]

Felice Navidad: iPhone Picture Party!

Just snapped a few iPhone Party Pics of someone’s little Santa dog.
My family is looking at me like “is our child/brother/nephew/grandson blogging from his phone on Xmas morning?”
It’s a snowy Xmas in my hippy hometown!

LaCinta: 10 Favorite EPs 2008

10. Thunderheist – Jerk It EP
This probably would of scored higher if it wasn’t just one song and a bunch of remixes.  But this is one of my favorite electro-dance tracks ever.  I’ve heard a bunch of demos of other songs from Thunderheist, and there are good things on the way.
9. Little Boots – [...]

¡Phone Picture Party! is a feature where we post interesting pictures taken from an iPhone.  Apple is endorsing these ‘features’ and I am going to become a blogionaire!

Typically we’d have complimentary $1000 VIP tables (hehehe) that come with a free [...]

Just Wanna Sync My iPhone on My iMac Without iTunes… so sad right now : (

Went for the iPhone… really wanted to look “business professional” with a Blackberry, but they were more then twice the price, and the “Storm” wasn’t even available.
The iPhone looks pretty exciting/trendy and all… but just discovered I can’t sync it without iTunes on a Mac.
Anyone got a solution to this !?
Was so sure that my [...]
