Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman. ~ Ludwig van Beethoven ~ What is the essence of adept or good music? Is it the mere ability to catch people's attention or has it had to do with the virtuoso style of creating the songs which somehow makes it unique from other pieces? +/- I couldn't answer that. In some ways, music has its own relativity. For almost 500 posts here in Play which 6 months later became Metaphor (to those who remember, thank you), I had come across to unlikely music talents traversing from different refinements. There had been moments this year where after I listen to a downright amazing piece I wanted to put a stamp stating "THIS IS THE REAL MUSIC" on the foreheads of those poor souls who aggravate themselves by listening to craptastic automatonlike voices on their speakers. What happened to "originals"? Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in stereotyping. I adhere to different ge

Before anything else, apologies, and endless apologies for the staggering delay of posts this month. Anyone can agree that December is indeed a crazy month. Its really therefore an effort to be not swallowed by December rush. I wont keep you waiting, I know you had waited for this. Here is another volume (hopefully not the last this year) of amazing artists mostly already known but somehow overlooked. I repeat, I do not intend to make these artist more worthy of praises than those I don't post here. I just try to shovel rubles and rubles of popular indie genre per se. Enjoy! As for you still wondering, Metaphor will stay, sharing spectacular sounds from different constellations. Woah, cant believe this blog reached this season. lol. Merry Christmas everyone and have a joyous new year ahead! Note: The aritists' biographies is not entirely mine. Ill' update these as soon as possible. Thanks.

Weird Story. I was listening to an Amy Winehouse song (Stronger ) as one of my friends approach me and asked what's Winehouse strongest song to boot. She was making a playlist or slidehow of some sort, I couldnt remember the specifics. Note: We spoke in our own vernacular language but these are translated for your own cause. Me: Hmmm, try her songs from her latest album (Back to Black).... F: I dont want to listen to the whole album. Can you just give me mp3s or do you think I should just go with Rihanna, Britney or other artist with a more respectable rep? Me: What's that got to do with her music? +/- F: Oh, sorry. I knew you have a soft spot for bizarre artists. You know drugs and all. Me: What? I listen to all kinds of music. Why did you think that? F: Duh, everyone knows that... So, are you lending me those mp3s? I remembered this conversation a while ago, and wondered if there's any sense to it. I started researching every artist I have grown fond over the years and in

Since I had pretty neglected posting regularly, maybe its right to give you a proper opt. If ever I continue on posting on this basis, be sure to check out following volumes of this segment before the end of the year. Also dont fret, Id reserve a farewell post for 2008. In the meantime, enjoy! P.S. Im not shutting this blog down, Im too in love with Metaphor. We'll get through this. Haha. Little Joy +/- Little Joy is Binki Shapiro, Rodrigo Amarante (Singer/Guitarist of Los Hermanos) and Fabrizio Moretti (drummer of The Strokes). While you're waiting for the The Strokes' new album, listen to this band. Take heed that Little Joy has stripped off affiliations from any band's style, their sound is original.
