i think i better follow you around

Alfredo & Edeath, are a couple of music lovers who met later in life but grew up loving almost the same bands and hating others but always listening to music, old and new, and apart from collecting vinyl and books and going to see every good band coming to town, (or a few miles away), got together and created "I think i better follow you around", a website/music blog, where they share all the music they like and help promote upcoming concerts, local bands from San Diego and Tijuana and amazing artists from around the world. I think I better follow you around is an independent project.

Stuart A. Staples – Arrhythmia

Stuart A. Staples just released his second solo album. This one coming 13 years since his debut. The title for it is “Arrhythmia” and is out now via City Slang.

Who is Stuart A. Staples you might ask. And why should it pick your interest. Well, he is the lead singer for one of the most underrated bands of all time. Tindersticks. If you’re not familiar with them yet you should immediately start with either one of their first 2 albums and just follow that rabbit hole and see where it takes you.

Track opener “A New Real” sets the tone for what to expect from the album.

Yes it’s only 4 tracks on it, but closing track “Music For A Year In Small Paintings” is a 3o minute song that feels like a film score. The piece began its evolution back in 2012 when filmmaker, and long-time Staples collaborator, Claire Denis first saw the serial of works by the painter (and Staples’ partner) Suzanne Osborne and wanted to turn these 365 oil paintings of the sky into a film. As friends and musicians passed through Staples’ studio he asked them to watch and react to the paintings. As Staples explains “From these recordings, I chipped away at its form, guiding and editing. Each time there was an exhibition of the work there was a newly evolved version of the music to accompany it.”

Dead Cross – Church of the motherfuckers (Planet B remix)

Dead Cross “Church of the Motherfuckers” Planet B remix from the recently released self-titled EP, available now Ipecac Recordings.

Planet B is the project from Dead Cross bassist Justin Pearson and Luke Henshaw (Sonido de la Frontera). The duo’s music lays somewhere just out of reach of genre, with aesthetics rooted in hip hop, hardcore punk, turntablism and ’70s/’80s horror movie soundtracks, all of which influenced this remix.

“This is meant to be an extension to the original ‘Church of the Motherfuckers’ video,” explains Justin Pearson of the Israel Henshaw and Jay Strickland directed clip. “Perhaps an interpretation but a realistic view or organized religion in the real world, and in modern times, which is unfortunate. Are well free in this world? This is Jesus Christ, this is religion.”

Video directed by Israel Henshaw and Jay Strickland. Edited by Jay Strickland.
Starring Zoe Coffey and John Brady

Very proud moment for us at I think I better follow you around, to see our daughter Zoe kicking ass in this video.

Blood Orange

Blood Orange just released two beautiful new songs “Charcoal baby” and “Jewerly”, taken from his new album ‘Negro Swan’, to be released digitally on August 24th via Domino Record Co.
“My newest album is an exploration into my own and many types of black depression, an honest look at the corners of black existence, and the ongoing anxieties of queer/people of color. A reach back into childhood and modern traumas, and the things we do to get through it all. The underlying thread through each piece on the album is the idea of HOPE, and the lights we can try to turn on within ourselves with a hopefully positive outcome of helping others out of their darkness.” – Devonté Hynes

Comic Con 2018 – Friday thru Sunday

Here’s a gallery from the rest of the days from San Diego Comic Con International 2018.

This is what makes the Comic Con experience worthwhile. This is what makes all the fans, all the cosplayers, all the comic book readers, all the superhero and villains lovers want to come back every year and wait in line for one of the signings or one of the panels. For the opportunity to meet an artist you look up to.

See you on the floor next year. Or maybe in one of the panels. Or possibly even Hall H.

It had a very diverse audience, panels and activities for everybody.

Here’s a gallery of what caught our eye:
