Here's the next collection of damn fine tunes i've been getting my ears around! Check them out and let me know what you think! MP3: Calvin Harris - Merry Making At My Place Category: Electro/Disco/Indie Info: From the debut album "I Created Disco" (2007) Label: Columbia More: www.myspace.com/calvinharristv [...]
When an artist decide to cover a recently ubiquitous smash hit, their reason behind it might be one of the following three: 1. Their new album doesn't sell quite well enough, so a cover done right may help regenerate buzz and interest. 2. They're fresh on the scene, having come from out of nowhere. If they get lucky, they may get signed because of the amazing job they've done on the cover. If they're already attached to a label, then it will cut some time on the marketing process. The problem here is if their own stuff isn't [...]
Do tell me if you're getting bored of all the Glastonbury posts. But I'm really enjoying reliving the music of the weekend. And I hope you are too. Especially as I have three more tracks for you. Don't worry, I will start to feed in other stuff but for the time being, I hope you enjoy these three tracks from Bat For Lashes , Biffy Clyro and The Gossip . One of my favourite moments of the weekend came during 'Standing In The Way Of Control' when Beth [...]
Alina Simone's debut solo album, Placelessness, is released August 14th. One of my favorite singer-songwriters, Simone has been chronicling her experiences (and life) as an indie musician at MOG in a blog titled, My So-Called Indie Rock Blog . Alina Simone : "Black Water" [mp3] from Placelessness Alina Simone : "Saw-Edged Grass" [mp3] from Placelessness other Alina Simone music blog posts: @lhb @hype @elbo.ws [...]
Hi all. My regular Saturday post is today coming on a Friday. Not that I want to usurp Cristin, just because I know I'm not going to be able to post over the weekend, so I figure you guys would probably prefer early to never. There's loads of goodies in it. Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (MSTRKRFT Remix) Firstly, here's an awesome remix of Justice's latest single, D.A.N.C.E. Just about every single person that I've played D.A.N.C.E. to has adored it - [...]
So, rumours of my demise have proved unfounded. A week seems like an awful long time in blogworld though... sorry to abandon you for so long again. In my defence I am still in the, er, grip of what's now been diagnosed as 'Devil's Grip'. Sounds nice, eh! Just to get me back in the swing of things again, here's a few new remixes i've been sent. First up, and apparently 'biochemically engineered
You know when you get an idea in your head and you just can't shake it? That's what's happened with 'Saturday Superhouse'. Every time I hear it, I think, "ooh Foo Fighters " . Every time. Even though I'm now well aware that it isn't them. My brain just can't seem to work it out. The reason being, that it sounds just like the Foo Fighters. Or at least it does to my ears. It's got that power punk pop thing nailed down to a tee. But it's not Dave Grohl and the boys, [...]
For those who asked, this is Lisa Hannigan. You didn't think she was just born with a great voice, did you? It's tough to avoid a reputation for stalking when you put yourself out there, so to speak, and our anonymous dating correspondent has been accused of much worse. When we last checked in with our anonymous dating correspondent, he was trying to push the envelope too fast, too soon. Somehow I think he enjoys subverting his relationships, because if this girl ever finds her e-mail [...]
It is, that is, if you're a Biffy Clyro fan. Having spent a few months not doing very uch, they've come up with the wheeze of releasing their next single on Christmas day - presumably to tap into that lucrative new iPod market, or maybe as an alternative to double helpings of EastEnders and the bloody Snowman again. Anyway, it'll still be there on boxing day. Batteries for the track, Semi-Mental, are probably not included. music biffy clyro
Jesus H! It's taken about 40 hours for me to make this post now that Blogger Beta is making things CRAZY!!! Orchestre National de Jazz "Black Dog" (Led Zeppelin cover) From their all-Zeppelin tribute Close to Heaven . The String Quartet Tribute "A Favor House Atlantic" (Coheed and Cambria cover) Before you die, there will be a String Quartet Tribute to you. Siouxsie and the Banshees [...]
Wiki has an overly-thorough entry on the subject of cover songs, here . A few of these are really interesting. An Australian-reggaeish Hotel California , a heavy version of Buddy Holly , and an electronic-new wave Sweet Child Of Mine . Good stuff. Listen: The Cat Empire - Hotel California (The Eagles) KT Tunstall - My Doorbell (White Stripes) [...]
