Josh Todd (Bark Cat Bark) Eli et Papillon Last night I received an interesting comment on an artist profile I wrote back in May on Bark Cat Bark, the now-defunct project of French songwriter/composer, Josh Todd. The comment read : Bark Cat Bark is actually making money with a song he stole from a friend of mine. The song is Coffre Fort, and according to him, he wrote the song and a girl [...]

Whew, almost missed getting one in for July. I know I haven't done Mixeries every month, but I will *try* from now on. It's fun for me and I hope it's fun for you too. Per usual, an explanation: For those who don't know, this is iTunes Mixery part cinco. Here's how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which song comes up -> provide the mp3 and a tidbit -> continue until five songs and embarrassment are complete. See my previous "mixeries" at the bottom of the post. Again, nothing's off-limits – I don't [...]
Josh Todd, songwriter/composer, is Bark Cat Bark , out of Paris (France, not Texas.) Imagine what artists like Beirut or Fanfarlo (two of Todd's influences) would sound like without the vocals and with a toned down classical theme. You'd get something close to Bark Cat Bark - music that one can easily label classical, yet has much more going on. If you connote classical with sounds that are easy on the ear, then yes, Bark Cat Bark fits that category, but you can only fall asleep to some of his songs (...like say, "The Sleeping Song.") [...]
Having decided to re-join the music biz shortly after quitting it last February, French musician (by way of the UK) Bark Cat Bark is giving away a treasure trove of free mp3s on his MySpace page...
MP3: Bark Cat Bark - Iceland Iceland slides from its continental shelf, and goes looking for a place to sleep undisturbed, leaving a huge flat plateau centimeters below sea level. They didn't get very far with the little coal they had left.* Having waltzed 400 miles south, Iceland is slightly warmer. If only it could go a little further—Iceland would fit nicely into the Bay of Biscay. Stars of The Lid are for galaxical measurement and minute concentration; Bark Cat Bark is the tide's breath & the moon's tricks. Both are [...]
Image: Christopher Davidson Iceland - Bark Cat Bark It's been a long, hard winter. But I don't need to tell you that; it's been a long, hard winter for you too. And even as gray rain slushes my windows to say spring has (sort of) arrived, I don't think winter is over just yet. You know what I mean. So does Bark Cat Bark (Josh Todd), a man of no decided abode who calls [...]
Homeboy Barky Catty Barky from the UKy is brave against the elementsy: the windy, the watery and the rainy. His latest special lovy is showing fondness for Digitalism's "Jet Set" and covers it in lovy, a rain of heartdropsy and guides you to a supersoft secret reefy, only you know and you've never shown to anybody else. Pitchy Pitchy Peng. Mp3: Digitalism - Jet Set (Bark Cat Bark Rmx)
