Song of the Day - "Nervous"

Song of the Day - "Nervous" - Buenos Diaz

Close your eyes. Sit back relax. Leave it to the 8 track. Ddive into your auditory sense. What are you hearing what era this. Nervous" blasts your senses with assault style guitar, free float lyrics, spoken word plus psychotomimetic undertones. Feels like a splash of Jack White, dash of Ron Gallo, a pinch of Jack Kerouac. #yay

The artist that goes under the moniker of Buenos Diaz creates sound that isn’t typical of a young gentleman. His rousing bit of guitar slashing comes at you like a cold slap of water on your morning skin. It's time to get rolling. This song rides like an unhinged bare back pony kicking the dirt and tossing his mane. There is nothing safe about this song which makes it a true force of a track.

He rattles off his lyrics with the cadence of a Beatnik Poet holding court on the soap box of his own making. I picture him in the hot afternoon sun with sweat beading down his cheek and wild hair moving in its own way as he recites. "I am so nervous. You’re so nervous!!!!

The manner in which he gutturaly growls his lyrics feels like a bounty hunter stalking your own defenses. He’s admitting he s Nervous! He couldn’t help himself anymore. Detailing how everyone is nervous. He uses a spoken word style as he crashes into the penultimate moment of the song that comes at the 1:44 mark. He backs right into raucous Jack White like shred fest of a solo. Truly winding it up and creating sounds that are at both otherworldly and odd celestial. He keeps moving thought he song claiming he just might end up at the “Funny Farm”. Ain’t nothing humorous about that type of farm. The level of anxious concern employs a wicked style o soul singing n a voice that juts into your senses Buenos Diaz describes “Nervous” as “A release of pent up frustration and electric energy. Get it in your head.” I got it in my head for sure.He even lifts off with a huge WHOOO before ending by ripping his Tele into an extended fuzz out.

The retro vibe of this song that marries the oddity o the 70s and the ancillary tale of the contemporary. And to me it is timeless

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy. barney favors Stetson looks btw. Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments. Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells a little story about his journey. He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue. He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap. So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby", Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me, " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process. Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
