Even though they're not officially in this week's mix, I highly recommend you go download those two tracks from Death On Two Wheels (previous post), and just DIY add them to the mixtape. It would make it a fuller, better rounded mix for certain. Otherwise, enjoy Tracklisting: Cavalier Rose - Painted Bird Cold War Kids - Audience Dawn Landes - [...]

15. Julian Casablancas 'Phrazes For The Young' (Rough Trade) - Double-edged sword - Astounding yet now I miss his Strokes even more. 14. Yeah Yeah Yeahs 'It's Blitz!' (Interscope) - One dance-laden synth-flooded choon after the other. 13. Sam Isaac 'Bears' (Hear You Me) - Tasteful, inoffensive, unswerving acoustic nourishment. [...]

Όπως ίσως θα έχετε ήδη φανταστεί, δε θα μπορούσε να γίνει αφιέρωμα στο Λονδίνο από τη Χειμερινή Ακαδημία, και να μη γίνει αντίστοιχο αφιέρωμα στο Βερολίνο . Αντλώντας την έμπνευση από αυτό τo post, με την εξαντλητική λίστα τραγουδιών που έχουν γραφτεί για την πιο αγαπημένη Ευρωπαϊκή πόλη, και παίρνοντας αφορμή από τη νέα δική μας επίσκεψη, ας ακούσουμε μερικά ακόμη τραγούδια για το Βερολίνο.. 1. My Favorite - 17 Berlin [box] [...]

Sam Isaac is an acoustic singer-songwriter originally from Malvern. Following his decision to pack-up and move to London in 2006 however, Sam was soon picked up by Back2Forward Records and went on to release his debut E.P, 'Compass Scattered Love'. To coincide with the release, Sam went on a tour across the UK - yet this was no ordinary tour, oh no! Unlike most upcoming bands, Sam didn't choose to visit your regular bog-standard club, but instead decided to set-up stage in a selection of lucky fans' living rooms across the country. While this tour-ethic was undeniably cool, Sam [...]

El primer remix del EP Spring de The Very Most lo ha hecho Rod Thomas. Le escribimos a ver qué tal y nos mandó tantas vainas que es gracioso. Este pana es el lider de la banda Matchbox Twenty y trabaja como solista con musiquita medio folkie y con remixes un poco electronicos. Es estadounidense nacido en Alemania y se ha dedicado a escribir tantas canciones que hasta varios grammys se ha ganado. La estión es: escuchen todo esto que mandó, se los dedica a ustedes; hay temas orininales, remixes de sus temas [...]
Arkansas may not be known as a hotbed for bands, but it soon may be with the emergence of a great band called Deas Vail. They were recently named one of Absolute Punk's "100 Bands To Watch", and are also in the running to be placed in a national ad for Nike. Their new CD-The White Lights EP-is out and features a very addictive sound, especially on the track White Lights. Wes, Laura, Kelsey, Andy & Justin comprise a band you are likely to be hearing much, much more from. Deas Vail [...]
I honestly don't know why but I shunned both Sam Isaac and James Yuill for quite a long time last year. I guess I must have thought they were just another couple of crappy singer songwriters, artists I could hardly muster a care about let alone considering hating. Then I heard 'Sideways' and 'No Surprise', two absolutely fantastic songs covering a great distance on the male solo artist spectrum. Sam Isaac uses the age old formula of soothing vocals and strumming guitar yet somehow transcends that [...]
Hooray, Bloc Party have gone off and come back all interesting again. Oops, sorry, got the right city but different act – Sam Isaac to be precise. Isaac is an independent musician with a penchant for the DIY approach, so much so that his torchsong 'Sticker, Star and Tape' has appeared on several releases over his short recording career. Easy to see why though given its ludicrous charm. The tune

Sam Isaac will be releasing a new EP in two weeks from now called "Sticker Star And Tape" (released via Alcopop Records on 29th September). We got hold of two remixes of the title track for you and since one of them is from one of our favorites, James Yuill, we jumped all over it.

Esse cara vem da pequena cidade inglesa de Malvern. Em 2007, juntou uma grana, lançou um EP chamado "Sticker, Star and Tape" e saiu em turnê pelo país. Além de tocar em várias casas noturnas, ainda animava festas de amigos e particulares. Todo seu esforço não foi em vão. Sua música começa a ser mais conhecida e tem tocado nas festas inglesas e nas rádios especializadas. Ficamos no aguardo do primeiro álbum full. Ele se diz fortemente inspirado por Bright Eyes, The Spinto Band e Ed Harcourt, então, quem gosta desses caras deve curitr o Sam [...]
You lucky lucky people. There was very nearly not a Pete's Song of the Week but inspiration found me in the wee small hours of Friday morning so here I am to dazzle you some more. I had decided not to just blast out a post unless I had really found a song that had hit me but this one arrived just in time. It was last night as I returned home from a gig that Good Arms Vs Bad Arms by Frightened Rabbit was chosen and since then it has been running round my head constantly and [...]

The Sam Isaac show frequently resembles an indie cottage industry. Friends make artwork, do recording, direct music videos and carry clipboards. Perfect strangers sell his CDs. Sam's part of the bargain is donning an acoustic guitar, a Casio keyboard or occasionally just his own voice and making the music that is at the centre of all of this. Counting Bright Eyes, The Spinto Band and Ed Harcourt amongst his influences, twenty-year-old Sam grew up in the sleepy town of Malvern in the West Midlands before moving to East London in 2005. This year has been a non-stop year [...]
