While basing an entire mix on song titles with colours in them may seem like a cop-out, I would like to offer a little more commentary than pointing out that many bands put colours into their band names and song titles. In fact, I'm quite fascinated by the involuntary neurological phenomena of colour synesthesia in which a person can see colours in response to aural stimuli, most often music. I first heard about this phenomena via an episode of QI , and I was a little surprised when I, too, saw the "correct" colour associated with the musical tone [...]

![Colour/Mimas/This Town Needs Guns at The Barfly [9/2/08]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1407603_lg.jpg)
A few months ago I was lucky enough to get to take a trip out to London for work and actually had some spare time in the evenings. I met up with Doug Cowie, review extraordinaire, for a couple shows that week at London's Barfly . The first show featured a line up of three UK bands ( Colour , Pennines , and This Town Needs Guns and also a great group from Denmark ( Mimas ). The place was absolutely packed and got even more crowded as the show went on so photo positioning was [...]
I'm not really sure where I found this picture. Just another internet meme I downloaded and stored in my photobucket. Anyway, here are some pop infused dance songs that are sure satisfy. La Roux , my favorite new female singer, was remixed by autokatz. You NEED this mp3. Quix vs Elliot mixed Rick Ross with MGMT. It goes quite well. Colours , an awesome DJ from Australia, remixed a song by Tegan and Sara. A1 Bassline remixed [...]
Greece is glorious - sun, sea, sand, and almost everything is blue and white. The Greek flag has been blue and white for centuries, in a number of different designs. It's generally thought this refers to the Aegean sea surrounding Greece. The Greeks certainly adopt the colours with a patriotic verve when designing their houses, boats, furniture, motorbikes and lots more. [...]
My boy Jake Infusino is one talented MF. Dude just finished up these glitzy ass motion graphics pieces for a campaign in promotion for The Chicago Fashion Awards 2008. The graphics are impecable, thats for sure, but I don't think they'd be as strong if the music wasn't on point. Fortunately for us, Jake has a killer ear for beats to accompany his killer eye for design... The Infusino is just an all around killer.

Colour - Some Miles (Cignol Remix) I rather like this remixed version of a song by Colour, a band from South London, for the way it chops up their earnest pop and brash guitar lines, slowing it down until it gains a profound quality that wasn't there before. MySpace Photo by ivan
I realize that I don't post enough music on here anymore because I am either too busy or lazy, and that we are a little low in the art department, but it's gonna change when I get back to school! In order to make up for a summer low on music, I am presenting everyone with a travel mix I made. Each song title describes a part of my journey back to the 'burgh. ENJOY! 1. Battle - One More Night 2. 1990s - [...]
You probably haven't heard of Fonzworth Bentley. And you're probably wondering, as with the BPA video I posted a while back, how he's gotten Kanye West and Andre 3000 to appear on his track. Well - Fonzworth Bentley or Derek Watkins is, or was, the assistant to P - Diddy, or Puff Daddy. He has an album, COLOURS (Cool Outrageous Lovers Of Uniquely Raw Style) coming out on Kanye West's GOOD music label. So he's connected, which explains the guest stars on the video. The video itself features Betnley, Kanye and Andrew dancing and singing in [...]
New joint "Everybody (Don't Stop" from C.O.L.O.U.R.S.. staring Kanye, Andre 300 and Bently
I recently had the privilige of covering three bands who I think will be movers and shakers in the UK in 2008. The gig surpassed all expectations. First up were Peterborough based acoustic band mesh-29 . Described by the NME as a "Razor-edged acoustic band" and "Stunning" by Janice Long from BBC Radio 2 after she had them in session on her evening show. This three piece who charted in 2007 with their debut single "Over The Barricade" are energetic and engaging. Their debut album Dead Machine is available through HMV as well as online from the [...]

On top of their ever growing schedule and even more jetlag, 2007 has seen Mark Norman finish their 2nd artist album, collaborating with Jes from Motorcycle , Celine Frewer and other musicians to optimize their sound. The album named Colours, is a reflection of their experiences in the past, present and future and show their diversity and love for the electronic music. The first release from the forthcoming album Colour my Eyes has already been a massive success, so together with the floor filler [...]
LA's The Colour Call It Quits [MP3] The Colour - Silver Meadows There's one thing I hate more than Hollywood Hipsters in one piece body suits prancing around backyard bbqs (seriously a piece of me dies and I retch inside) - and that's when a band I love breaks up. Today Los Angeles ' psych rock band The Colour announced in a myspace bulletin that [...]
Upon listening, I ascertain that The Colour is actually a collection of colors blending. The Colour is silver, for the sleighbells. The Colour is blue, for the trembling warbly vocals. The Colour is blood red and the temperature is rising. The Colour is black clouds, stacking high around a piercing yellow sun, pressing against it, but ultimately yielding to the light. Listen: Silver Meadows Black Summer [from Between Earth & Sky | buy for $7.99 at Best Buy]
The Colour moet het nieuwe vlaggenschip worden van de nieuwe record-label Rethink, een zijtak van platenmaatschappij EMI. Enige druk op deband moet er dus wel staan en misschien verklaard dat wel de bandsrommelige samenhang. Veel nummers worden kort gezegd overschaduwtdoor fantastische nummers als Devils Got A Holda Me en Black Summer envallen misschien zelfs buiten de boot. Ik luister de band he...
The Colour - Between Earth and Sky LP in stores February 6th [Video] The Colour - Cave Sessions: Black Summer [MP3] The Colour - Black Summer I have watched The Colour slowly make their way down the Sunset Strip for the better part of 3 years. I first saw the band in 2004 at The Key Club, then again in 2005 at The Roxy with [...]
Sometimes you pop a CD into your player with zero expectations and it just pops. Sometimes it just sounds good, coming up with the words to describe the how and why are secondary. Thats the way I felt when I first listened to "Between Earth and Sky", the upcoming release from The Colour. The Colour are just another LA music scene act to some, but those folks probably havent heard this new album. It was an odd thing for a couple reasons, one is that I got this way before the [...]
I am going thru the mass of emails that has accumulated in my inbox over the last few weeks, and have linked up a dozen selected mp3's that have caught my ear. I hope you also enjoy them.

Here's a good little song by a band out of LA called The Colour . It's part of a new EP which is a prelude to their new full-length called Between Earth & Sky . Pretty straight forward, but it's got a nice bounce to it. ::: The Colour - Devil's Got a Holda Me You can buy their debut EP from Insound .

The Colour (note the english spelling ) are a bluesy rock band from California with influences in their music from The Black Keys to Led Zeppelin. They are just starting to get noticed and about to embark on a tour around the US, leaving me hoping they might come to the UK sometime... The Colour [...]
