Semisonic's Dan Wilson was my highway companion.Earlier this week, I drove 1,752 miles prior to my start as City Pages' new music editor. This three-day journey came right after I capped a two-year s
Joe writes: Dan Wilson, formerly of Semisonic, co-wrote the song of 2011, Someone Like You by Adele. Here's Semisonic's finest moment Closing Time. When you watch the video and listen to the song, you will understand why Dan now writes songs for other people rather than being a rock star himself.
Put down those sticks and stones. I'm about to say something that may result in tons of criticism, if not outright broken bones. I am not in love with Adele. There, I said it. Don't let me be misunderstood: Man cannot live on Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears alone, and for that, I will be eternally grateful to Adele for making the Top 10 classy again. When the dust of the 2010s settles sometime around the summer of 2020, "Rolling in the Deep" will go down as [...]
Earlier this week, The Mountain Goats performed an outtake from their latest album, All Eternals Deck , for Minnesota Public Radio's Wits at the Fitzgerald Theater event in St. Paul.
Nog zo'n jaren tachtig pop-rock band waar ik een zwak voor heb. Semisonic heeft sinds begin jaren nul weinig meer van zich laten horen, maar het ene album wat ze beroemd maakte blijft prima. Feeling Strangely Fine is een album vol radiovriendelijke gitaarliedjes. De grote hit was natuurlijk Closing Time, gebouwd op een paar simpele akkoorden met een tamelijk briljante clip erbij. Naast Closing Time staan ook de prima songwriting-voorbeelden Singing In My Sleep en Secret Smile op het album. Fijn in het gehoor liggende liedjes die prima passen bij een roadtrip, een klus-zaterdagmiddag of [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By Kasabian – "Days Are Forgotten"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3604133_lg.jpg)
Tweet Man, how much do you envy Zane Lowe? I envy him quite a lot. Tonight he debuted the first single from Kasabian 's forthcoming album "Velociraptor!" - as you do. (Yes, not only is the album named after the widely-acknowledged Most Epic Dinosaur; it also includes an exclamation mark. That's how you know it's good.) We've already had a taste of what's to come in the form of "Switchblade Smiles" , which I was unsure about. The drums sounded like Oasis [...]
What up my TBE people? Alright peeps, I hope you bring your party headphones to work, because Im trying a new feature out. What kind of feature you may ask? We're talking mashups. So, enjoy, but don't get caught having too good of a time. After all, your supposed to be working. Party on, Garth! For more jams or by any of these artists use the 'tags' links at the bottom of the post! ♫ D.Veloped - Bring Em Home (Edward Sharpe vs. T.I.) [...]
Hometown hero Brenton Duvall does his thing again. Except this time, he is doing it with Biggie; arguably the best way to do it. I never would have imagined putting Biggie up against Semisonic's "Closing Time", so props to Brenton for the ingenuity. Def one of my favorite Duvall jams yet. [Audio Clip: View Full Post To Listen] Download: Brenton Duvall - Time For What You Want (Biggie vs. Semisonic)
Brenton Duvall. Kills it. Period. For real though this one is so epic. The kid can't miss. Also, he's chill enough to have done an interview with my brother, given me shouts during his show cause I had to watch it on UStream, and let my girlfriend come up on stage at a show. All that and he gives us jams like this for free. Thanks, Brenton. Semisonic and Biggie, together again for the first time.
Check out this new Brenton Duvall track. He advertised that he made this in an hour. I believe him. Biggie songs are easily mashed up and I feel he can rap to any beat. The semisonic sample sort of brings me back to middle school dances which is nice and nostalgic. Deranged is happy to present to you another itunes addition on this 80 degree afternoon in DC!

Another jam from the young up and comer, featuring a banger classic from Notorious BIG and an awesome throwback track by Semisonic "Closing Time". Great way to wind down the weekend if I say so myself. Download: Brenton Duvall - Time For What You Want (Biggie & Semisonic) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Previous: Javelin feat. Childish Gambino – Tryouts (Brenton Duvall Remix)
Brenton just tossed up a Facebook status, saying if the status got 100 likes he'd release a new track that he put together. Apparently people want new shit from him. He hits us with a fusion of Semisonic and Biggie, just another addition of audio gold to his resume. It's absolutely mindboggling to take a step back and see where this kid's at right now. About a year ago, he was a student at CU-Boulder, and he released the Lil Wayne/Passion Pit themed "Ambien" to the vast land known as the internet. Now he's on leave from Boulder, and is [...]
Brenton just dropped this on his facebook an hour ago. Obviously we are all over it, and make sure you are connected with the Big Green Beats facebook page as well so you will always be up to the second on everything BGB. Also, check out a different Closing Time inspired jam we dropped recently if you missed it. Brenton Duvall - "Time For What You Want (Biggie & Semisonic)"
Brenton Duvall has made a handful a of hits ( Mean Planes and Taylor Gangs , Lights! , That's All ) , and some tracks that were a little more experimental (Blow the Skrilla , Pretty Little Penthouse ) . But today he just dropped his latest creation 'Time For What You Want' featuring some vocals from Notorious B.I.G. and some chill sampling from a classic track by Semisonic. It's a low key chilled out track with the Semisonic sample making you wanna start singing "Closing time" and then Biggie comes in make a fresh new [...]
First off let me apologize to all of you for not posting this song earlier. I've been jamming to it for weeks now and I could have sworn I posted it for you all to enjoy. My bad. Anyway, The Five One just dropped visuals to match their better-than-the-original take on Semisonic's "Closing Time". Fun little video that they shot while playing some shows in Paris. Long story short, this track is an epic new twist to a classic 902s jam. Download it below. DOWNLOAD HERE
Yes, that is a sample of Semisonic's "Closing Time", the split-screen continuous shot video-having, chart-smashing song from 1998 that we all can't help but love if we hear it--admit it. And much like that song, The Five One's rip up and sample take here is an attempt at unabashed fun, a sort of "whatever to [...]
