Pour aimer ce nouvel album de Maxence Cyrin il faut forcement un peut avoir un peu de sympathie pour les musiques de films de Burt Bacharach, Michel Legrand, Francis Lai ou de Français de Roubaix, apprécier un minimum la pop fantaisiste de Gonzales ou Sébastien Tellier, mais pas seulement…[...]

These aren't the best songs of the year. Shit, they might not even be new in 2011, they're just some goods from what I posted in the previous 12 months that particularly grab me. And I'm not going to get all evaluate-y and critique them against everything else or pick something from every genre just to prove how well rounded I am. In fact, I don't have any illusions that I have even covered all that much musical ground lately. Don't blame the music though, It's my fault. . . I've got too much on my plate, less time to [...]

Seeing as I've always wanted the job of picking music for soundtracks (how do you get that by the way?), I came across a few gems that I wanted to share while watching a couple flicks.

Earlier on in the week Chris had a chat with Slough rockers Brother , as we usually do when interviewing we ask people to recommend a Weekend Tunage and Sunday Supplement slot. Brother chose Every Day Is Like A Sunday by Morrissey for this week's Sunday Supplement, pretty apt. Morrissey - Everyday Is Like Sunday One other track that I've been listening to the last week is this stunning piano / classical cover of the ever defining Pixies tune [...]
Συμφωνείς ή διαφωνείς με την πιανιστική εκδοχή του Γάλλου Maxence Cyrin τραγουδιών από Coctaeu Twins και Arcade Fire έως Beyonce και Daft Punk , η ιδέα να δανειστεί για τα σόλο του αποσπάσματα από ταινίες όπως "Πέρσυ στο Μαρίενμπαντ" , καλειδοσκοπικών σχηματισμών του Busby Berkeley και στριπτιζέζ με φτερά και πούπουλα είναι (αν όχι απόλυτα πρωτότυπη) αρκετά διασκεδαστική! Maxence Cyrin - Where Is My Mind (The Pixies Pi... , posted with vodpod . Daft [...]
I got an email from one of our readers telling me about a site that flat out ripped off the entire EMPT style, I mean we're talking a straight bite here. I have no problem with people borrowing from us but completely stealing our names, concepts and vibe doesn't make any sense to me. EMPT is a complete reflection of me and my friends and I won't sit here and watch pose as us - You gotta see what I've seen, look where I've looked Touch what I've reached, and take what I've [...]
French pianist Maxence Cyrin takes popular cover songs, adapts them into classical interpretations and sets them against classic music scenes. The result is a haunting visual representation of his work.

I can forgive Alfred Nobel for having invented dynamite, but only a fiend in human form could have invented the Nobel Prize. - George Bernard Shaw I can't really fit this one in anywhere but first. So a slow start today, but amongst all the madness it's alright. Clearly emphasizing the real genius of The Pixies... songs. Fingerbanger 1 : Maxence Cyrin - Where Is My Mind (Pixies Cover) (don lowed) -- Every atom in your body came from a [...]

GOBBLE GOBBLE thrashes the pixies' 'where is my mind?' with his own signature sound but he's managed to keep the same feeling in the song. the raddest cover of a huge track. more GOBBLE GOBBLE here . GOBBLE GOBBLE - where is my mind? (pixies blasphemy).mp3 + the original and two more great but entirely different covers: [...]

Here's a quick post before LOST starts (Desmond episode tonight!). I found this beautiful piano cover version of Arcade Fire's "No Cars Go" via Arcade Fire Tube . I did a little digging and found that French pianist, Maxence Cyrin , has also covered artists from Justice and MGMT to Pixies and My Bloody Valentine. I've always been a fan of instrumental renditions of songs (years ago on this blog I used to do a weekly posts on string quartet tributes) and Maxence's lovely piano interpretations are really hitting the spot. Check out Maxence's youtube [...]

pic: Sozyone The standard of compilations this year has been incredibly high, i've lost count of the ones i've thoroughly enjoyed. And now I can add another one to that list. Mmm, Betty! is a compilation by Betty Botox (aka JD Twitch of Optimo ), it is a compilation of super rare and long forgotten grooves. I cannot stress how good this is. You can get the vinyl from HERE . Love Life [...]
