W♥M Updates (February 2008)

El Perro del Mar http://weheartmus... Anyroad, between all the songs I've downloaded from her record company, www.hybrism.com (check ou... I hope things are good with you boys & girls, because it's freeeezing here in Minneapolis the last few days. It was so bad, my car battery wouldn't start up so I had to buy a new one. Anyway, here's my monthly W♥M Update for February 2008. (I hope you like the notepad template!) First of all, I've been fortunate enough to get the new El Perro Del Mar album, set to be released April 22nd. The album review is assigned to Lara, but based on what I've heard, it sounds very ... like it's a children soundtrack. Sarah Assbring's haunting and delicate voice is still there on her second album. El Perro Del Mar - Glory To The World El Perro Del Mar It looks like "How Did We Forget?" is her single for this album, and I can't say that I like it as much as some of her other songs. I think it's too slow, but the line "it's easy, babe" is pretty catchy. It looks like she's doing a selective few dates in her country, Sweden: 04/03/08 Samfundet Trondheim 04/04/08 Hulen Bergen 04/05/08 Parkteatern Oslo 04/06/08 Samfundet Ås 04/08/08 Vega Copenhagen Be sure to check out "Glory To The World" and read about her first album and concert on W♥M: El Perro Del Mar. Keep your eyes here for Lara's review. WHITECHAPEL butchering audiences, repeatedly http://weheartmus... Whitechapel will join up with The Black Dahlia Murder, Kataklysm, Vader, Cryptopsy and 5 others ... I also wanted to welcome Soup to the republic of W♥M! It looks like he'll be doing some metal/harder/cookie-monster music coverage, because frankly between myself and a few other staffers: we have the folk-thing covered. Speaking of which, it seems Whitechapel are on tour. See the press release for exciting tour announcements. I don't have any music samples to show you what they sound like, but they seem pretty hardcore/death metal. Even their name, I suspect they got it from Jack the Ripper[W♥M] - who as you may know, I'm mildy obsessed about.   The Sapiens - Void The Sapiens There's actually a ton of music news (including all that is the Grammys). Basically The White Stripes and a slew of people won. And of course that Amy Winehouse is denied entry to the USA, which I'm sure you have all read so I'll just skip all that. Instead, I want to mention The Sapiens who sent me a few tunes to check out. I did like their sample songs enough to check out their myspace and see that they're doing a few dates: 02/22/08 Mickey Finn’s (18+) Toledo, Ohio 02/23/08 Lager House (21+) Detroit, Michigan 03/07/08 Beat Kitchen (18+) Chicago, Illinois Based on these states, I would have to say that they have a whole lot of driving to do... Maybe they get around in a 1930s Hornet car?  02/12/2008 00:09:19  vu my♥posts www.weheartmusic
