Head over the Nikka Costa 's MySpace page to stream the singer's much anticipated new single, "Stuck To You." Nice, groovy tune, but it is not as uptempo as I like to hear from Nikka who is a spitfire performer with her soulful spirit and funky delivery. The track is taken from her upcoming new album "Pebble To A Pearl" (fun title), which will be in stores in September. Costa is releasing the disc independently on her own Go Funk Yourself label together with the legendary Nashville soul label Stax, which is the original [...]

Yesterday was The White Stripes cover story on Coverville ( check it out !) in honour of Jack White's birthday, which is today. Well, that's as good an excuse as any to post some White Stripes covers. As the Jack White philosophy goes, three is the magic number so here's to b-day #33. Happy Birthday Jack! A little story for you: Last week I finally got my White Stripes Glace Bay aluminum poster framed. I happened to be walking by a frame store nearby and impulsively went in [...]

I`m taking the rest of the week off from Blogging, so think of this as the rest of the weeks posts wrapped up in 1...and boy do I have THA SHIT for you today. Lots of good music from some great artists, so lets get the ball rolling.. 1- Yes of course I`m gonna talk about the new Kings Of Leon , I listened to the album a good 20 times yesterday. Its a solid effort, a lot harder then usual, and I must say the stronger songs are at the end of [...]

Heather (from I AM FUEL...) put together a double disc of driving music. I made this mix for my wife, who likes to drive fast. Figured now's a good time to share as driving music is whizzing thru the blogsphere. It's a nice collection of tunes that goes from Latin to mashup to "heavy metal" back to Latin, some smooth electronic, then toss in some hippity-hop and finish off with a Minnesota classic (yes, I am a Gearhead). Sidebar: Is there anything worse than driving to work on slushy/salt-drenched roads when you're out of windshield [...]

This is a free crash course in music education from the last 40 years, courtesy of Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk . It goes by really, really fast. My blogger pal Bruce (of Some Velvet Blog hotness fame) came up with an idea to do a massive joint post of all the songs from the ADD-inducing, mile-a-minute mashup disc Night Ripper ( previous post ), which uses over a hundred original songs to make the 42 minutes of party goodness on this album. We both [...]

Listening to CP18 , I remembered I used the Beastie’s song “In 3s†on an old summer mix. I dug it out and got it ready for your enjoyment. The mix of tunes is nearly as hot as the weather. (I guess I was into Python’s Holy Grail when I made this.) 1. Beastie Boys ~ In 3s 2. Beth Orton ~ Daybreaker 3. Erin McKeown ~ Slung Lo [...]
