I’ve come to know Tony Macias as a badass drummer for local bands, Mr. Gray and [.DESCARGA.]. I’ve missed his EchoNine shows because I’m a dumbass and wasn’t aware until very recently that he was a DJ. This morning I moseyed on over to his SoundCloud page after seeing him post this song and now I’m obsessed. Check out the other tracks he’s posted and there are rumblings that more are to follow. If so, PLEASE keep them coming Tony!
Ear worms: Songs that get stuck in my head and refuse to escape. THIS article is responsible for today’s worm. Radiohead vs. Joy Division. Tough call but upon hearing both the original and Radiohead’s take on “Ceremony” I ‘m going to stick with the original . Radiohead’s version is a very faithful and beautiful tribute but I will always side with Joy Division. Also, this is a great chance for me to give a quick plug to a local band, Mr. Gray, who incorporate a lot of Joy Division and New Order in their sets and who will be featured here in the coming weeks. So now you have a couple things to check out this afternoon!
