The week ahead.........like wow man......

OK, here's the scoop....I haven't been on here since sometime last week and here's why........myself and my betrothed set out for a weekend of gambling and sex as we do at times.....all good until we actually got SNOWED In at the casino location, I thought to myself "But what about the BLOG?!?!?!", and then, I said, "Fuck it" and returned to playing blackjack and enjoying adult  relations with BigCarla66, STILL the greatest fuck on the planet (that I can imagine anyway)....

Anyways, I'm back.....it's Monday night and I have a LARGE stash of guest material for this week, and you know I LOOOOOOOVE my guest material.........let's see........Brian will be completing Part 2 of the Swans ultra-mega post this week, that should be great...I have part 9 of the Greek Punk series compiled by Apantabapanta.......even the MIA Dave Sez has contributed a bunch of files from Ultravox/John Foxx, which, although he says aren't exactly his "thing" are something that I have always enjoyed......so a big week ahead, one, which, ironically, I have to do very little, other than let me blog friends/helpers/associates/partners post thier stuff and make ironic comments as I please....by the way, FiddleHead, yes, your Ghosts of Jupiter post was incredible, EXACTLY the kind of thing I want people to send in, and yes, I owe you an Electric Wizard rarities disc, and I hope to get that to you this week (and I WILL get it to you....I always fullfill my obligations, sometimes it DOES take me longer than I would prefer, but I WILL get it to you, I promise)......


But. let's start out the week with the kind of thing that I REALLY love.......this album was submitted to me by the band Lucuma from the land of Argentina, of special significance as they come from the land of one of my VERY FAVORITE BANDS, Los Natas, whom I did a huge mega-post about at one time and it was virtually ignored, proving that a bunch of you are nothing but PEASANTS......JK, of course, the Michelob in me is talking, but Los Natas is LITERALLY one of the best bands of all time, not so much, exactly, for Lucuma, but Lucuma is fucking great as well, and I advise that you check out this unknown slab of great rock n roll......


Well.......first of all, Lucuma are vocalist/guitarist Daniel Acosta, guitarist Fernando Acosta, bassist Martin Huertas, and drummer Javier Fappiano......this 2014 release, "Destruye la Ciuda Psicologica", which translates to "Destroys the Psychological City"........this is thier second release, the first being 2010's "El No Tiempo"........honestly, I am so impressed with the band that I have asked them to send me a copy of the earlier release to share with you, we'll see if they do, but in the meantime, this is a really great, unknown gem........you know I loves my stoner rock, as well as my non-English rock, and this one here gets it done for me, one of the better rock albums of 2014, were I making a list of stuff like that.


Don't know, really, how to describe it, I guess, SOMEWHAT similar to Los Natas, but quite a bit
more accessible, not as "anything-goes" as my boys Los Natas, but still plenty hard and heavy, reminding us perhaps of classic 70's prog/metal, from, say, the Sabbath/Maiden axis all the way to the King Crimson/ELP tree? Hell, I don't know, here is what I DO know: Some of you DO NOT LIKE non-English rock.......that is fine, I happen to love it (explained before: makes the music do the damn talking if we can't understand the lyrics anyway).......if you are anti-non-English rock, you'll not care for this, and you would be best advised to avoid this......HOWEVER, if you DO occasionally like this kind of thing, PLEASE investigate this.......I recieve LOTS of albums, from a wide variety of bands, obviously some of them I delete pretty much at once as they simply don't fit the format (rap, or something like that), and even a bad rock album I'm likely not going to subject you to.....but this is a good album. I promise, please give it a listen and PLEASE LET ME (and the band) KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF IT............try it out please, and remember, LOTSA cool stuff coming up this week, so don't miss out.......

And let me briefly take this spot to thank those who contribute, I love my guest posters, but what I TRULY LOVE is stuff like this, bands who desire exposure who desire me to help them get it.......Lucuma are a VERY solid hard rock band, and it is my pleasure to try to get them a little exposure if I possibly can.


01 Omnicronia/02 Rio de Serpeintes/03 Capitulacion/04
Mulciber/05 Escamas/06 Demonio de los Ojos de Piedra/07 La Danza del Sirrocco/08 Rostro Sin Molde/09 Nuevo Gris

For real, try this one out, I'm quite excited about it, please support this fine band.
