I WANNA BE YOUR COVER! #3 O nome da nossa seção de covers mudou mas a proposta continua a mesma: apresentar grandes reinvenções de trabalhos de artistas que você curte e que costuma acompanhar por aqui! Na seção desta sexta, destaque para uma versão sensacional do Scissor Sisters pra clássica "Take Me Out" , do Franz Ferdinand (que certamente você já ouviu em alguma finaleira da Freak! ) e para as étnicas "Rock The Casbah" , do The Clash , revisitada pelo franco-argelino Rachid [...]
The next album from Gorillaz will be released for free on their website this Christmas.
Wild Orchid Children ::: photo by Abbey Simmons Do you remember your first time? Of course, how could you forget? You were so happy, drunk and nervous that you couldn't untie your high-top Chuck Taylor's. You actually fell over at one point wrestling with your own right foot. Your then girlfriend, who was always a team [...]
Man, I thought being unemployed I would have all sorts of time to keep this updated. However, any moment I am awake I am either applying for jobs or feeling guilty that I am not applying for jobs. I've literally applied to 500+ positions and to make matters more depressing, my girlfriend got a teaching position in a little less than three weeks being down here. She actually got two offers and had to weigh the options. Instead, I've been on several interviews. One at a company I absolutely do not want to work for. Another for a [...]
![Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve [Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2661225_lg.jpg)
This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve . We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I'm here to make a delivery. Chill….. Today's delivery is brought to you by [...]
Probably the best Christmas compilation to come out this year is In the Christmas Groove , sporting 12 obscure, but very funky x-mas choons. By artists like Milly & Silly, Zebra and Electric Jungle (okay, Jimmy Reed and Harevy Averne are on there as well), and mostly taken from the original vinyl. Here's a great track by Funk Machine. Funk Machine - Soul Santa (YSI) All this funkiness reminded me of a good funky x-mas album by Shawn Lee, featuring a hard hitting sitar-version (!) version of Little Drummer Boy. [...]
Gratitude. Things have run amuck these days. I dont' have much to say at the moment. I'd be content to just wander around and look with out wanting. Try to fly above the trees you see, and you might find your wilderness is "knowledge". Ducktails was cool. But Tailspin was better. Skipping from island to island in an airplane seems like a life I'd like to live, with pirates, races, and aviation adventure. But that's not this. This is Ducktails ( myspace ). A lazy swelling unconcerned with an arrival, just sort of basking in it's own echoy [...]
Here's another pretty awesome music website that let's you create playlists you can share with you friends. It's called GrooveShark.com and it's got a pretty big library of music. It allows you to upload your own music so you can login from anywhere in the world and have all of your music. It also allows you to search for music and play full songs and albums. The way this works reminds me very much of Napster (the original Napster) since it seems like the search results are based on what people have uploaded. This is probably why GrooveShark [...]
Now that we are a little bit into the new year, let's take some time to look back and reflect. Put down that vinyl copy of Merriweather Post Pavilion and listen to the sounds of January 2008. Downloadable: "January 2008 Mix" (box.net zip) The Tracks... 1. "Hibernation" (box.net mp3) by Blood On The Wall 2. "Bad Blood" (box.net mp3) by The Big Sleep 3. "DROP-OUT" (matador mp3) by Times New Viking 4. [...]
I've got a confession: I think Justin Timberlake has talent. Lots of it. That isn't to say I actually listen to him very much, but he seems to be able to make popular culture work for him, rather than just being swept along like so many other hitmakers. The guy's got charisma to spare, and with the inevitable Dick in a Box spin-off season coming up soon, why not celebrate his many hits?

I'm in the middle of writing a paper and studying for finals, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to meet my deadline here. Get ready for it, y'all, because I'm just going to be puking music all over you tonight. Thanks to everyone who offered kind words, donations and bids on my Ebay auctions. I'm going to try and post a few more things next week after my tests are over. My auctions went incredibly well. . . just over $400 for about 18 items. That should definitely help. Anyway, enough about me. [...]
Every now and then, an album comes out that radically changes the face of popular music, and causes dramatic paradigm shifts in how we think about music as an art form. The new album by Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra,...
