'Niet hierom, maar daarom'

‘Niet hierom, maar daarom’

Vierentwintig lange uren, jakkeren achter een dernymotor. Dat is  een garantie voor een plekje  reserveren op de hartbewaking. Een aanslag op de gezondheid. Helemáál voor een man van vierenzestig jaar. Waar ga je aan beginnen? Maar wat kan  Maas van Beek dat  allemaal schelen. Ondanks alle waarschuwingen doet die toch waar hij zin in heeft. Of dat wél zo verstandig is…?

Waar zijn leeftijdgenoten…

POZ Discussion: Most Anticipated May Releases

May is nearly here, and we’re continuing 2014 with a jam-packed month of releases that PropertyOfZack team members couldn’t be more stoked to hear. In today’s new Discussion, we’re highlighting our personal Most Anticipated May Releases. Check out our list below and feel free to reblog with what you’re looking forward to as well!

Andrew Jackson Jihad – Christmas Island (5/6) This band has yet to do something that hasn’t impressed me. While Can’t Maintain may stand as one of my favorite albums of all time, it seems that Christmas Island is going to give it a run for its money. If you haven’t heard anything off this album yet, listen to “Kokopelli Face Tattoo” and tell me it isn’t perfect. You can’t. It’s the perfect mix of silly and serious, which is exactly what this band is good at. I promise you, this album rules. And besides, in the band’s own words, hating it won’t make you suck any less. - Marie Scarsella

The Horrors - Luminous (5/6) Despite their name, English alt rockers The Horrors pride themselves on sweeping, brooding pop tracks constantly accented by a heavy synth presence. Their 2011 release Skying, which netted them their first Top 5 record in their native England, followed swiftly on from 2009’s Primary Colours with an equal glaze of melody and pop somewhere in between ‘80s new wave and ‘90s Brit Pop. Originally set for a release this past September, their fourth effort, Luminous, looks to continue with the same formula, emphasizing its electronic roots, which will no doubt complement the often moody and interstellar vocals of lead singer Faris Badwan. The band revealed two new tracks earlier this year with the seven minute “I See You” standing out as it sprawls and dances like some futuristic pop number with the sheen of 80’s club music. The album already seems promising, and with only a few days to go before its official release, the anticipation is just too strong to avoid. - Jason Stives

Weatherbox - Flies In All Directions (5/13) Weatherbox, my Weatherbox. How do I express my love for thee?

Weatherbox got me through a good chunk of college and a big breakup, and at the time, that was priceless. In 2010 I did one of my first interviews with Brian Warren, the mastermind behind Weatherbox, and that’s when I truly realized how talented he is.

Conor Oberst – Upside Down Mountain (5/21) It’s been a while since Conor Oberst has put out material, but judging from the few tracks he’s released, Upside Down Mountain seems to be quite promising. The first single, “Hundreds of Ways,” has something that Oberst doesn’t usually showcase: positivity. That’s right, emo’s King of Sad wrote something that’s remotely happy, and it is amazing. Even if he’s sad for the rest of the album, the Americana vibes he has going guarantee that this one’s going to be a winner. - Marie Scarsella

Mayday Parade - Monsters in The Closet Deluxe (5/27) I’m always a little weary of deluxe editions; they feel like a scam. Especially because more often than not there isn’t anything all that deluxe about them. They’re little more than a way for bands to make extra money on an album they’ve already released.  But I’m actually excited for a deluxe edition of Mayday Parade’s Monsters In The Closet. Monsters was one of my favorite albums of 2013, and I’m curious to see how the three bonus tracks stand up against the twelve original – plus how their addition affects the album as a whole. Monsters was an emotional and captivating look at heartbreak, grief, and acceptance, and it came full circle from opener “Ghosts” to closer “Angels.” So it’s hard to imagine it ending any other way. However, Mayday Parade has always been a consistent band and I’m willing to bet that “Hear The Sound,” “Stuck In Remission,” and “Worth A Thousand Words” won’t betray that fact. - Becky Kovach
