Leila has already released three albums, a trilogy if you will. In 2009 she started to write a body of work that felt different. Maybe it was being sober, but this one seemed to be about being more direct. Leila first met Mt. Sims at a fancy dress party way back in 2006. Leila went as Leila. Mt. Sims dressed as a Computer Processing Unit fashioned from a cardboard box with strategically placed slits. She had admired his music since his work on Gigolo Records, she was most happy when he introduced himself and said he was a fan. [...]

![B.A. Johnston feat. Laura Barrett – Truffle Shuffle [Listen/Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4025432_lg.jpg)
I will admit to not getting into the music of B.A. Johnston . When I read the news that he will drop a new album (his eighth) called Hi Dudes! on February 21, 2012. I was more interested and fascinated in the song Truffle Shuffle. Because the song features Laura Barrett who is a musician and plays in the Weezer cover band " Sheezer ". A cool short Bluegrass folksy tune. Have a listen to Truffle Shuffle . What you think of this [...]

![Lana Del Rey – Born to Die [Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4022543_lg.jpg)
The wait is over come January 31, 2012. That is when Lana Del Rey drops the long awaited debut album "Born To Die". With all the hype and big lips (no pun intended) talking about the legitimacy of her music. Born To Die is 15 tracks which will get people talking. With all the hype surrounding, it is a decent album but not "groundbreaking" as I was expecting. Listening to the whole album, you can tell she is more of a studio artist than live artist. [...]
![Who did it better? [Sia or Mary J.Blige?]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4020377_lg.jpg)
Here is another installment of "Who did it better"? I know the song is old but I can't stop listening to it. This time it is the song Titanium by David Guetta . I think it is the best and standout track on "Nothing But the Beat" and doesn't feature any R&B/Hip-hop artist. The song just shot right into the Top 10 UK Singles in 2012 having only peaked at #16 last summer. Thanks in part of the music video and the song is damn good. Originally [...]

This charming, woozy little daydream of a song, the title track from French singer Soko's debut album, is the musical equivalent of a tiny patch of blue sky on a cold, grey day. Haunted by birdsong and ethereal slide guitar, its combination of clever production and deceptively simple songwriting enable it to be both lush and lo-fi at the same time, which shouldn't really work but does. Soko's quirky croon and odd lyrics – 'You look at me as if I was a freak, but you said you like freaky people, so I thought you might like me a little [...]

![Who did it better? [Goyte or Walk Off The Earth?]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3997053_lg.jpg)
Two different bands singing to the same song. One from Canada and one from Australia. It is the song Somebody That I Used To Know. OK I am kind of way behind on this viral Youtube sensation. Alot of people on social media have been posting the video of Walk Off The Earth's Somebody That I Used To Know . Since January 5th, the video has reached about 27 million views. Walk Off The Earth is a band from Burlington, Ontario. What made them [...]

Photo and video by G. Lana Del Rey Opinions are opinions obviously, but based on some of the ignorant comments I've heard in regards to the singer Lana Del Rey since her weekend appearance on the TV show Saturday Night Live that I've heard, I thought I'd offer my two cents about Lana Del Rey. I'm only saying these words as someone who sees HUNDREDS of live acts a year. That might not qualify me as an expert in live music, but I'll tell you one [...]
