Australian singer and songwriter Sia got her big break when she was living in London and landed as a back up singer in the band Jamiroquai before releasing a solo single in 2001. In addition to work with Zero 7 and Massive Attack, Sia's song "Breathe Me" gained attention when it was used in the final scene of the Six Feet Under series that aired in 2005. Her full length debut came out in 2002 and
I'm stepping out from my usual alternative rock rut to share a mix I'm making as a Christmas gift. These songs lean into R&B, soul, and pop--which I am not usually very fond of--with a touch of electronica thrown in. As always, I have my own little alternative twist on the theme and a definite California flavor. This is meant to be kind of a party mix. I mean the kind of party where people stand around in small groups, sipping smoky merlot and nibbling brie on crostini, while discussing movies and politics. This [...]

10. Liars "Plaster Casts of Everything" Recasting scenes reminiscent to that of David Lynch's mind-boggling Lost Highway might seem something horribly inappropriate given the context of the standard music video. Given also that it crosses disturbing light projection with brutally honest images of the human body, the video sound more and more like something inconducive to the format of short form film...or so one might think. Liars take that disbelief and turn it on its head, in the process creating one of the most visually surprising pieces of short form film the [...]
What a nice way to start a day, being treated to 2 new music videos from 2 artists I care for. One I've been waiting for, and one is a new version made for a regional release. It's a shame Sia's new album 'Some People Have Real Problems' won't be in stores until next year, as it could easily make it to the top ten of my personal 2007 best albums list. It's a persistenly solid record from start to finish, one I have found myself coming back to again [...]

Yeah, I've been ultra-busy as of late. Last night was the first night I was home and free for any significant amount of time in a while, and I decided it was more important to play Super Mario Galaxy . Here are three recent musical obsessions: Sia - "Electric Bird" Sally Shapiro - "He Keeps Me Alive" Run Run Run - "Fade Into You" (a cover of the great Mazzy Star song)
Check out a free download of Sia's "Electric Bird," a lovely mid-tempo ballad that will sooth your soul and energize your heart. I find the brassy horn section particularly compelling when it really starts going around the 3 minute-mark.The is easily one of my favorite songs of the year. It's a gem. Thank you, Sia. The song is taken from the Australian singer's new album "Some People Have Real Problems" that is out digitally in December and will hit stores in in January. First single off the album, titled "Day Too Soon, is out for [...]
These days I'm listening quite a lot to the new album Lust Lust Lust by The Raveonettes . In my contribution to the weekly " Frekvens lytter til… " post, I described it as the perfect mix of catchy 60'ies pop, scathing 80'ies noise and the soundtrack of a spaghetti western directed by Mr. Tarantino . It might not be as good as Pretty In Black , but it still manages to live up to my expectations. + Dead Sound [...]

Leave it to the ageless David Bowie to look stunning in a mug shot. The Smoking Gun dug up a picture of Ziggy taken in March 1976 after a show in Rochester, New York. The crime? Felony possession of herbal jazz (right, pot). Via The Smoking Gun : Bowie, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a Saturday concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, [...]
So Radiohead hosted a party yesterday (hosted, get it?). Everybody was invited, but not everybody could get in -- or get online, as it were. But here's some good news for those who found the party crashed due to tech/bandwith issues, here's a replay. Here's Part One: Entanglement, featuring a reworking of "Harrowdown Hill." It's got a beat and Thom can dance to it. After the jump comes Part Two, in which Radiohead becomes the world's best Björk cover band.
Nothing to do on a Thursday night? Well there's a multitude of live acts around DC and Philly tonight. In DC, Sia plays the early show at the 9:30 Club while Superdrag plays the late show. One of my faves, Scissors For Lefty is on at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. Finally in Philly, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone bring their electro pop to Johnny Brenda's .
