Solid techy house mix from Hector and Nate. Solid track selection. Tony Senghore is killing it lately, If You Came Here is a big tune. Big up! They're upcoming and they're coming pretty damn fast. This summer they release their first EP (called Jeunes Hommes) on MSMD recs, but don't call Hector & Nate nobodies, [...]

Denna Bollywood-dänga har varit i omlopp ett litet tag nu men jag köpte den inte alls när jag hörde den först... Ikväll tog vi ändå med den i Pastor Wiberg 99,1 MHz då och då slog det mig plötsligt... ja, fet, fet som fan.. Lata Mangeshkar - Thoda Resham Lagta Hai (Daniel Haaksman Remix)

Meri Haton Mein Nau Naw from Chandni (1989) Tomorrow is the first night for Thums Up , a Bollywood DJ night at the recently expanded Casa del Popolo. Since the demise of the Garam!Garam! monthly, which also focused on sounds of the subcontinent (with DJ Valeo (formerly Khiasma , of the Masala blog), I've had the opportunity to DJ some of my Bollywood favourites along with Rishi of phenomenal psych-pop outfit Elephant Stone . Having enjoyed it [...]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my personal favorite movie of all time. I love everything about it. There was a point in time where I would watch this movie multiple times a week, every single week, and nothing about it ever got old. The acting, the direction, the script, the editing, the cinematography... everything about this movie is just pitch perfect. But without the music, the movie might not have come together as a whole quite as well as it does. Thankfully, the soundtrack is just about as perfect as the movie itself. Michel [...]

Filed under: Around the World Okay. So with Ellen DeGeneres having taken over for Paula Abdul at the judges' table of ' American Idol ' -- stay with us here, there's a point to this -- let's engage in a little outright fantasy about the kind of replacement we would liked to have seen. How about someone not only well versed in American music, traditions of both folk and popular style, someone who has studied roots from around the nation, but has also taken them to the top of the charts and even [...]

Give the Drummer Some's 10 Favorite Downloads from the MP3 Blogosphere (see Comments, below, for helpful info about downloading) We'll get to the music in a sec, but the Miner wanted to offer a tip of the illuminated helmet to radio hero Herb Morrison, who on this day, 72 years ago, narrated the tragic final moments of the zeppelin Hindenburg as it attempted to moor in Lakehurst, New Jersey. Covering the scene for Chicago's WLS, Morrison meticulously described the horror with shocking clarity. Listen (mp3) Once the goosebumps [...]

I usually cover nothing but music here at For The Sake Of The Song , but that doesn´t mean I haven´t got any other interests. Far from it. Football (got my ticket for tomorrow´s edition of El Clásico ... yes!), literature, movies, travel... And politics. And that´s what I´m on about tonight. Do not fear though, there´s a fitting soundtrack attached as well. The recent Mumbai terror attacks must have shocked everybody, but I was kinda surprised to find how hard this catastrophe hit me, staying glued to the telly [...]
Oh boy, this should be fun! For this theme I've picked out a mixture of songs by Bollywood playback singers (had to be done), Asian Underground (British DJs of Indian descent), other singers of Indian descent, and music inspired by too much time in India. This particular post will just have Bolly/Kolly/Tollywood songs. Let's get the classics out of the way: You can't talk about playback singing without mentioning Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar. Playback singing is its own career in India, although you see it in American movies where [...]
Viola Valentino. Don't know much about her other than that she falls into the vast category of music made in Italy at a time when this kind of hair and makeup (not to mention music) was not shameful. Still, there is something about this tune which I enjoy, and that defines me as a man who's threshold of shame/cheese is very low. I appear to have discovered the motherload of Italian gay disco cheese with this track (lots more to download here ). Apparently she was married to some guy who was the lead singer of the beloved Italian [...]
