I've thought about this for a while now and decided to go for it! Here's the first Top 3 list on a single topic and today it's the Top 3 songs about Fools! Phil Lynott - The Man's A Fool Written in 1982 and included on his self titled album, 'The Man's a Fool' is a full on 80's dance/rock fusion that Phil experimented with. The vocals are still amazing and it's a pretty decent track! [...]
The new Spiritualized video is remarkable in the fact that it made me uncomfortable for 10 minutes, but I watched all of it, and i'll remember it. That says something. Scarecrows and other faces of many levels of attractiveness throughout. Make sure you stay with the Miike Snow video till the end. -Matt
La Ricerca tramite immagine di Google è una di quelle invenzioni di Mountain View che fanno un po' di scalpore quando vengono lanciate e poi, visto che alla prova dei fatti non servono poi a granchè, finiscono per essere dimenticate quasi subito. Quanto spesso ci capita di cercare online un'immagine o le informazioni su un'immagine avendo già a disposizione una copia dell'immagine stessa? Probabilmente la Ricerca tramite immagine servirà a poco, ma è perfetta per esperimenti come quello di Sebastian Schmieg, che partendo da un PNG trasparente ha effettuato la ricerca ricorsivamente 2951 volte. Mettendo in [...]
� 2011 n'a pas été une année grandiose. � C'est p't'être vrai mais j'ai l'impression que ce sentiment est dû au nombre incroyable de � disques � sortis cette année (Sérieux, ça a toujours été comme ça ou c'est juste parce qu'on peut tout écouter grâce à Internet?) et donc au temps qu'on a pu passer à [...]
![SoHight – Boys EP [Yeah!/Dish Records] & Minimis [Free Download] (2011)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3952939_lg.jpg)
Desde la ciudad minera de Magnitogorsk (Rusia), cerca de la frontera con Kazajistán hay un par de amigos enamorados de los sintetizadores y los sonidos de los 80, llamados Yaroslav Litovchenko y Stephan Kriven que hace casi 2 años se juntaron para formar el dúo SoHight , y ahora el sello parisino de Yeah!/Dish Records (Moustache Machine) les acaba de publicar su EP Boys, con 2 temas originales, Boys y Stardust, 2 piezas bellas piezas, muy frescas, y vienen acompañadas de las remezclas del tema Boys a cargo de [...]
Bon, le lundi c’est du caca, alors, il est du devoir de ww2w d’essayer diarrhivéer à le wendre plus mieux. Aujourd’hui, ce sera grâce à une merveille publiée cette année par Hal. Depuis sa révélation (en mai), j'ai dû me contenter de l'écoute en ligne de Be with you. J'y suis revenu, régulièrement, pendant plusieurs [...]
“Tiny Fingers” is lush and exotic, with sounds of broken sitars, brass, and wind chimes backing a gentle acoustic strum. Like everything on Red Velvet Snow Ball, it would be the perfect accompaniment to a day of greenery – lying in the green grass, staring at the green trees swaying above you, and perhaps indulging in something that would make the sky appear green.
Es ist alles ganz wie im echten Leben ganz normaler Heranwachsender. Manchmal scheint die Sonne, manchmal eben nicht. Aber den Kopf muss man hoch halten, auch wenn der Hals dreckig ist. Der Soundtrack von Vacation Club klingt dazu ziemlich genau so, als h�tten Green Day einen Song ohne Wohlf�hlmelodien verschenkt, der vom letzten Album �brig geblieben ist. Und hier wird geklotzt, nicht gekleckert. Der einfache Plan lautet: "Das machen, was man will." Und so wie es aussieht, geht dieser Plan sehr erfolgreich auf. Ein �berhit kann "Cars, Diamonds, Gold" wohl nicht werden. Der Song krankt durch [...]
The morning has been so wonderfully cool that I slept in far later than usual. Somehow I feel as if I've overslept. When I worked and I was late to get up, I could be dressed and out of the house in minutes, coffee and paperless but on my way. Today I lazily got out of bed, brewed my pot of coffee and read both papers. It's later than usual, and I do have to be at an appointment at 12:45 so I hope my muse is raring to go. My computer goes shopping or out for coffee [...]
A couple weeks back I watched the documentary, Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him) (if you have Netflix, you can still watch it on Instant Queue), subsequently downloaded some of his albums and have been addicted ever since. Even though I'm still familiarizing myself with Nilsson's discography, it's easy to see how influential his music is on contemporary pop music and HAL is a prime example. The Irish band released their self-titled debut album in 2005 on Rough Trade Records to much acclaim and now after an extended hiatus are releasing [...]
The crisp, jangly guitar-pop that The Wandas produce recalls the playful power-pop of Teenage Fanclub and Big Star. It is touched with a dose of modern accessibility, with the familiar song structures and sweet harmonious vocal backings bringing to mind ‘90s alt-rock acts like The Verve Pipe, Collective Soul, and – during The Wandas’ more [...]
SINGLE OF THE WEEK: Bibio - 'K Is For Kelson' (Warp) The best song on Bibio's recent Mind Bokeh album is finally available as a single although it ought to have charted by now because as anyone who is already familiar with it will tell you, it is a right good laugh. Like a madly bouncy Children's TV theme tune, given a Tropicalia makeover. There are loads of busy little noises splurging all about the place so dig out the headphones and give 'K Is For Kelson' a blast because it is a blast. [...]
About Group’s Start & Complete has flown somewhat under the radar. It is somewhat surprising considering both its quality and the fact it features members of prominent acts like Hot Chip (Alexis Taylor), This Heat (Charles Hayward), and Spiritualized (John Coxon). Add to that the experienced Pat Thomas, who has played for several deceased avant-garde [...]
SINGLE OF THE WEEK Gruff Rhys - 'Honey All Over' (Turnstile Records) No, the title is not a comment on his dulcet tones or a naughty statement about (ahem!) love juice a-la Mariah at her most minxy. Although if this tune had reached its intended musical destination of one Britney Jean Spears (true story), Lord knows what kind of worn out 'Carry On' style innuendo would have ensued. Instead we get the much more modest Mr. Rhys pondering the dissolution of a relationship with a mind-tricking lady over wonky keyboards and sprightly xylophone noises. Although it's [...]
April was a busy and thoroughly enjoyable month in music. It's easy to point out that big names dominated most of it, some of them even brand names in indie music; Panda Bear, TV on the Radio, and Fleet Foxes are as close as you can get to that. I try to avoid featuring artists [...]
HAL were featured on Obscure Sound over five years ago. They were under-exposed then, and remain so now. That HAL have not released anything in seven years certainly didn’t help. Nonetheless, I listened to their eponymous debut very often for several years without tiring of it. Its swirling mixture of Beach Boys-inspired west-coast pop and [...]
Yo we blogged about these lads from NZ a million years ago before Naked and Famous went Gold and started destroying it overseas. They're still kicking it back, dropping electro pop heat to whoever might be listening, but now I've got files for you to actually download as opposed to one video. Don't sleep, sickeningly catchy chorus ahoy! Computers Want Me Dead - In Your Blood And this remix by unknown entity Rainbow Cake, is almost better than the original I think.. Computers [...]
