Nestor's Cola

In a joint project with DJ Gonzo and Ebola Cola, Gonzo Radio has gone live, streaming music from DJs scattered across the oceans. I myself, DJ Nestor, shall broadcasting some spinnin’ tunes from my humble abode.

It’s still very much incomplete and buggy, but as we move forward to completion, bear with us.

So, I’ve been listening to World’s End Girlfriend. Apparently, it’s all done by this one Japanese guy. Who knew? Who cares? It’s pretty good shit. My favorite albums are The Lie Lay Land and Hurtbreak Wonderland. Included are some samples. Right click, save as, but you knew that already, didn’t you?

Sample from Hurtbreak Wonderland:

Ghost Of A Horse Under The Chandelier

Sample from The Lie Lay Land:

Give Me Shadow, Put On My Crow

Download and listen. it’s some good shit.

This Will Destroy You is an indie instrumental rock band out of Texas, much like Explosions in the Sky. Their first album, Young Mountain, is perhaps one of my all-time favorites. I just picked up their second album (According to their Wiki page, it’s actually their first; Young Mountain was supposed to be a demo) This Will Destroy You. I gotta tell you, it’s pretty win. In some aspects, it seems a lot like Explosions in the Sky- it seems this time around they’re a lot more mellow.

Now, don’t get me wrong! mellow is excellent for them, they pull it off well. They’ve got a distinct sound that’s unique. One of my personal favorites (I’ll link a sample) from Young Mountain would be There Are Some Remedies Worse Than The Disease. Truer words were never spoken. Here is a random link to download.

I’ve been a fan of Hurt for a while. When they came out with their first album, I really didn’t know what I was getting into (haha) but I fucking loved every bit of it. Their first album was was titled appropriately enough; Volume 1. Their second album was … fucking amazing, but their titles are less than inspired; Volume 2. (haha) It’s hard rock; if you’re a fan of the genre I highly recommend them; they’ve got this sort of Tool-style vibe going on, maybe with a bit of… I dunno, Cold and Staind (before either of them decided to go emofag and instead of rocking out with edgy, gritty, sometimes painful lyrics, crooning about how much they suck) grunge and raw emotion.

I’m not a fan of the average sophmore album. From past experience, you just assume that it’s going to suck by default and the thought of shelling out hard earned cash on an album that potentially blows donkey choad makes me want to blow my groceries. – But it’s not at all that bad.

I have some studio cuts from them almost ready for download- the radio station I listen to had them in their studios for a small set, and the links are on their website for download (I’ll be mirroring them) and they’ll be up later. Remember to right-click, save as.
