"You can wait for ages Watch your compost turn to coal Time is contagious Everybody's getting old" If anyone knows what this man is up to, please let us know. Damien Rice gets constant spins at the Cafe. The only problem is, he is mood music. Not really good mood music. Rice's track 'Coconut Skins' off of his 9 album, which was released in 2006.
Joshua Hyslop has that chilled-out guitar ensemble that reminds us a bit of William Fitzsimmons and Damien Rice . That said, it's notable to point to his upcoming release of Where The Mountain Meets The Valley . Not only is this album Hyslop's debut, but a moving one as well. Written after his journey discussed in the video below. Where The Mountain Meets The Valley will be available July 3rd. Video: Joshua Hyslop - Do Not Let Me Go [Acoustic] [...]
Have you heard of Ben Howard? Until recently, neither had I (although a song of his, "Promise" did appear in an episode of House this season). Try as I might to remain ahead of the curve when it comes to quality UK music, this talented guy slipped by unseen and unheard. Hey, it happens! There's just so much good stuff coming out of the UK these days that I can't keep track of it all.

Nel resto d'Europa, soprattutto nel panorama anglofono, è già famosa da tempo. In Italia, come al solito, c'è voluta la pubblicità per farla scoprire. Lei si chiama Lisa Hannigan, è irlandese e sbarca sulle nostre radio grazie al fatto che il singolo di lancio del suo album "What I'll do" , è usato in questo periodo come colonna sonora per la pubblicità di un nuovo servizio della tv a pagamento Sky. E'solo al secondo lavoro solista eppure ha una solida esperienza. Già compagna di vita ed artistica del cantautore Damien Rice, da quando si sono [...]
'Estuary' is a solid debut album of unpretentious rock tunes from Australia based Irish singer-songwriter Minus Circus with a few superb moments of brilliance. I've just read the bio of Minus Circus on his website and I got a real sense of the meaning behind 'Estuary'. This album is the result of a decade's work from the Drogheda born artist. All those years running singer-songwriter nights in Dublin, playing numerous gigs every year, years writing and re-writing personal songs have been [...]
Nina Simone's catalog include two of the most powerful tracks ever recorded: "Feeling Good" and "Be My Husband." The latter of the two first appeared on her 1965 album Pastel Blues . It is a completely stripped-down, bluesy affair featuring nothing more than handclaps and some subtle hi-hat to accompany her a cappella vocals. It was penned by Simone's then husband and manager Andrew Stroud. The track lends itself to dramatic live performance and has long been a favorite of vocalists with the ability to carry the tune with little accompaniment. As captured on his Live at Sin-é [...]
Everybody loves this little purple man. He can sling a riff smoother than silk. Call him whatever you like Artist, Maven or a pompous Perfectionist he kows how to write a song so if you make it sound like shit it's because you suck. Little Red Corvette MP3 by Montagna & The Mouth to Mouth from their CD L'avenir . First time I heard this it took me totally by surprise. I mean what's not to like about a really well done Prince cover right? [...]

One of the more upbeat songs from Lisa Hanningan's second album Passenger has gotten the video treatment real good. We are glad she is venturing out in the visual world more.

little mix - cannonball (uk x factor winners) [first of all, these lil muffins (tulisa's words, not mine) went from soloist to group act to underdogs to breaking the curse of the girl groups to eventual x-factor winners (a first for any group in the series). not only that but their solid work ethic showed week in week out AND no one seemed to throw a stroppy diva fit off camera. add to the fact that their big official single is a classic damien rice number and you have the ingredients for a respectable future girl band. i'm in!] [...]
This year's X Factor Winners Little Mix have unveiled their video for Cannonball, after hitting the number one spot in the UK singles chart last week. The original was by Irish singer song-writer and record producer Damien Rice , and originally hit the number 32 in the UK Charts. Following the X Factor release, it has now re-entered the charts and has hit the number 9 spot. That's the power of The X Factor for ya, in a nutshell. Little Mix - Cannonball [...]
Interessante colpo di coda dei Coldplay nella classifica singoli inglese : l'oramai anzianotta Paradise (giunta all'ottava settimana di vendite) ritrova slancio e sale fino alla seconda posizione, scavalcando pure l'ex numero uno Olly Murs . Sono due le nuove entrate ai piani alti, entrambe cover reinterpretate da signorinelle in carriera : la prima è di Leona Lewis che si rivede alla #8 con Hurt , discusso rifacimento del pezzo dei Nine Inch Nails già riproposto con successo anche da artisti del calibro di Johnny Cash e [...]
Christmas, Three Years Ago, I started this blog. Every year of my life has been a blessing on many levels. Not so much on the blog front, but definitely on the personal front. This blog was made to help promote new music and a venting board for myself. It has done both and also been super time consuming. I love it at times and I also want to give it all up five minutes later. But I don't, not yet, tee-hee. This years Christmas Compilation - Culture PopMas 2011, is probably on my favorites from the last three years. As [...]

It's been a bit slow around here, huh? Sorry about that! I've been teaching three classes, working on a research project, and dealing with the Zombie Dissertation From Hell "! I really do want to be a good blogger again... honest. But until that day, it's time for a quick recap of some of the stuff that has gone whizzing by in my absence. I hope you enjoy! Recently, John Darnielle took to Twitter to give us a new Mountain Goats song in the form of the excellent, lo-fi "Thucydides II-58." You can read [...]
Here's a nice video of the closing track 'The Auld Triangle' from the Other Voices crew who invaded NYC last week and got unbelievably good coverage from press over there and here, here and here! Is the world beginning to believe what we know ..... if you want passion, entertainment and great songs you've got to go Irish? Did you notice Damien Rice's new look to the left of the stage in this clip? Photo credit: [...]
