It's not often a classic 80s disco track gets covered, so LA via NYC singer songwriter Holmes took it upon himself to cover this Gap Band hit. Originally a funk track, Holmes puts his own spin on it, trading in the funk sound for a more introspective, slower paced track. The spin on the original song almost makes the track sound entirely new. Holmes has an album of covers called... Covers. Check that out if you like this track. "You Dropped a Bomb On Me" (The Gap Band cover) - [...]

He is currently working on his forth album; his third of original material. That album is slated to be [...]
2011 is definitely the year of the cover. And Holmes ' project is "another one of those." But it's also one of the more unusual of the lot. Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" becomes a sunny single. "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" becomes a 1970s AM single. My favorite Jacksons tune is still funky, but now sounds white and nerdy. "Don't Be Cruel" sounds like electronica Beatles. My second favorite Genesis song is a straightforward pop. (My favorite one is "Man on the Corner," in case you were wondering.) Musically, it's tight and fun, with gues [...]

With it's iconic status and a storytelling structure that seems like it would be pretty easy to translate into a more traditional, non-rap format, it's kind of amazing that there hasn't been a million "ironic" coffeehouse covers of Ice Cube's 1993 classic "It Was A Good Day" (at least that we are aware of) to come down the pike. Holmes has come up with one (as part of his new Covers album) and it's a pretty genius remake, transforming the summery, soul-baked bliss of the Isley Brothers-sampling [...]

Oh, to be young and melancholic. And so raw that it's just right. Lyndsay Holm - "Weeping Willow" [MP3] Holm is a musician and photographer based outside of Chicago. Share:
I know absolutely nothing about this guy, apart from the fact that he's from Sydney, his real name is Marcus Solomon and he has one track out called Holmes that works! If vocal layering and some beats are your thing, then Pilloes might be your man. His track Holmes starts off with some vocals, continuously layered [...]

Jeg ved stort set ingen ting om Jens Holm , udover at han er fra Århus, Danmark i følge hans soundcloud profil. Til gengæld ved jeg, at jeg er blevet ret glad for hans remix af Everything But The Girl hittet Missing. Sprødt og lækkert! Jens Holm — Everything But The Bootleg by jensholm Jens Holm | Soundcloud

There's no exact way of knowing how many songs are released in a day. Whether it be an eighteen second kazoo ditty on Soundcloud, or a Hypem track with 4 hearts, all music deserves a shot. Even on an independent blog like Earmilk, it's impossible to cover every band/song/remix worth listening too. That's why Straight From the Teet is back, and this time… IT'S DAILY ! My name is Logan (aka Running ) and I will be curating Earmilk's newest old feature, highlighting two up-and-coming artists from two different genres, so sit back and enjoy some good-old-fashioned, non-pasteurized, Earmilk. Drink it [...]

Visually, this video by Kim Holm is more than worth your time. The dubstep audio isn't so bad either ("Release The Freq" by Matta). You'll want to finish this video. Watch it after the jump.

Not that I'm gloating or trying to be a smug git, but this year I am Mr. Organized , three weeks plus to go until Christmas and I'm done with my shopping, for the first time ever I'm sorted with no sign of a panic or last minute dash to the shops in sight, so Christmas stress levels should be at an all time low, leaving me to spend hours pouring over my best of 2010 lists and I've started thinking about putting together this years and immediately procrastination reared it's combative head and left with the usual dilemma of what to [...]
