Here's a tasty little nugget for you coming straight at you from Brighton, England. It's a group of blokes named 4 or 5 Magicians , and they're releasing their debut single, Forever On The Edge , via Alcopop! Records (sister company to Big Scary Monsters Records ). The title track has been floating around for a while so there's a good chance you've heard it already. Here's your chance to buy an "official" copy of it and support the band to boot. To tempt you a little bit more, check out [...]

Another late night mix, best to be listened to alone in a dark, void room filled with a stark silence. Five downbeat, meditative instrumental piano pieces. The first two is lingering, airy ambient. German-born composer Max Richter mixed piano and string arrangements to make a piece that deserves to be a movie score, and Craig Armstrong provides one that's already in a critically-acclaimed movie. To end the list is the Grammy-winning instrumental track from songstress Sarah McLachlan's landmark album in 1997. Enjoy. Eluvium - Prelude For Time Feelers (Copia, 2007) [...]

Three months ago, I asked for your suggestions as I was in the middle of making a mix to mark my high school graduation. I graduated in late May, and though I got the list jotted down, and the files uploaded already, somehow it just didn't feel right, so I decided to save it for another occasion. Well, lately, I've been watching some of my favorite Buffy episodes again, and after finishing the season 3 finale, I know I just have to post it up here and get it over with. A graduation mix in mid August, that's me and [...]

. There was once a great actor named George C. Scott. He was on stage in the Delacourt Theater in Central Park, where they do Shakespeare every summer, and he was playing Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. At one point he took the robes he was wearing and just started flipping them up in the air, out of nowhere. And later, an actor said to him, "What was that, George, what were you doing?" And he said, "They were sleeping." You're always trying to catch them. We're charlatans in a way, we're magic [...]
Das war mein Lieblingsbaby vor 24 Jahren. Und heut? Nein, sie spuckt mir nicht auf den Kopf, obwohl das bei meiner körperlichen Grösse keiner besonderen Anstrengung bedarf, nein, sie ist in Anstand gewachsen und gealtert und wir begegnen uns exakt auf Augenhöhe ;-) Heut ist Lieblingsbaby 24 Jahre jung geworden. Einen fetten, virtuellen Burzeltagsknutscher von Deiner Mum, Baby. Schön

I have a late Christmas present for you. Sarah McLachlan recently offered Christmas Remix stems for a competition hosted by Beatport.com , in order to promote her new Christmas album, Wintersong . His Boy Elroy (featured several times before ) intended to enter. Sadly, he missed the deadline. I suspect he might have won had he not. You can listen and download winning tracks on the Beatport release page . Some of them are very creative! Lot's of other [...]

It's Christmas Day! Jollywoohoo! So yes, I finally got it done. Consider that an accomplishment. Here I proudly present: Zeon's Mixtape Vol. 3!

You can tell I've put quite much effort into making this, so I hope you will enjoy the mix as [...]

They've been through the desert on a horse with no name (ooh, sorry for getting that stuck in your head) and America has a new double album Here & Now coming out in a few weeks on Burgundy Records ; notable because it was produced by Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne and James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins. It also features contributions from Ryan Adams , Ben Kweller , Matthew Caws and [...]

Sarah McLachlan has a lovely collection of holiday music out. And I got a copy of it last week. A happy, happy day. Enjoy three tunes off the album that warm my heart and get me in the spirit. River (a Joni Classic) In The Bleak Mid-Winter (my all-time favorite carol) Christmas Time Is Here (featuring Diana Krall) Buy it PS ~ The Late Greats [...]
Is it wrong for a 17-year-old to actually enjoy Sarah McLachlan's back catalogue? I've been questioning that for my music credibility for a while... Somehow, I manage to proclaim my love for her unashamedly, without labelling her as a 'deeply guilty pleasure'. I'm just creepy that way... Anyway, her seasonal album 'Wintersong' is a must-buy for this 'Xmas, which is just a month away. Though it gives nothing new, considering it's another Pierre Merchand production, it's a nice collection of ethereal, luminous holiday songs sung by her very lungs. Buy it for your mom, your grandpa, [...]

I planned this post before EZarchive went to hell. Don’t remember really what the plan was here. But enjoy. The Pretenders ~ Everyday Is Like Sunday (The funny thing about this track is I don’t like The Pretenders, nor do I care for Morrissey, but I like this version of his tune.) The Cranberries ~ Dreams (The funny thing about this track is how overused it has been in soundtracks; of course, it is a good song.) Annie Lennox ~ Why (ditto) Sarah McLachlan ~ [...]

Okay, so every blog's doing it and I'm a bit behind due to hosting issues, so I have to reupload the files again for you guys...Anyway, this is a mixed treat bag, with a collection of songs ranged from electropop to indie, and their titles are all connected to the Halloween theme. Have fun listening to them, and I hope you enjoy dressing up in costumes and getting all sorts of sweets from the neighborhood, or enjoy giving candies to tooth-decay the kids, or getting wild at some extravagant adult Halloween party...

After a full day of tiresome uploading and artwork making, the seoond installment of the Zeon's Mixtape finally surfaced. Here is a collection of 12 outstanding tracks, old and new, handpicked by me for an essential fall listen. While most of the songs really don't have anything to do with the fall theme, their vibes and sounds just remind me of this time of the year, when dead maple leaves scatter on the ground and when I often myself wandering to nowhere with blurry thoughts in my head. My purpose is just to present the tracks I love, not to [...]
