Only a few people are brave enough to channel 80s' MOR Rock to conjure up a hit these day, but Gotye is a force to reckon with. The Australian rocker has embarked on a venture to channel the best sounds of The Police, Phil Collins and Mike + The Mechanics and come up with a unique sound for his new album Making Mirrors . This track is the one making most waves. It's a great number with a hint of lyrical nostalgia. It's a stark ballad that teeters between a sombre ode to lost love to a brighter look [...]

There isn't much I remember specifically about the late summer and autumn of 1980. We holidayed in Czechoslovakia and Austria, I despised school, my granny died, and I read English football magazines to brush up on my English skills. But I recall the vibe of that time, and these songs help conjure it. * * * Kelly Marie - Feels Like I'm In Love.mp3 Here's a great bit of trivia: Feels Like I'm In Love was written by [...]

![[Introducing] – Morning Teleportation](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3968329_lg.jpg)
Tweet Are your ears itching to discover something different? Then have I got a treat for you. I'm willing to bet that the music of Morning Teleportation is like nothing you've heard before. I certainly hadn't. They classify themselves as Psychedelic/Electro/Roots but they are so much more than that. Achieving musical alchemy, they successfully combine more genres than I can count, creating these fabulous journeys of song. They have taken the rulebook of song writing and thrown it out the window. They're [...]
Filed under: News , Video C Flanigan/FilmMagic 21-years-ago, songwriter Bob Geldof and Sting started a long-running belief that the Police frontman could last a whole day in the sack.

Geldof claimed to be a " three-minute man ," while pegging his buddy as a yoga-fueled tantric sex machine, capable of sustaining 24 hours of [...]

However, front man and founder Alex Burnett did not give up on his initial vision. Keeping the band name, he transplanted himself to London, recording his first solo effort as Sparkadia with the production help of Mark Tieku ( Florence And The Machine ). [...]
We're getting close to the final countdown, and we've hit number ten the MUZU.TV Christmas Video Chart. It's the all time classic that is Band Aid, with Feed The World. It features some eighties greats, such as Bono from U2 , George Michael from Wham , and Sting from The Police . The emotive video is something different from the normal festive madness that we are used to experiencing, highlighing the third world poverty and consequentially starvation of millions during the mid eighties. It's a moving number that certainly makes you [...]
In the wide realm of '90s TV shows for kids, with the limited acting skills and ridiculous plots, Goosebumps was one of the most memorable - more so for the awful acting than anything else. One of its episodes shares the same name as this next band, who make spines tingle in a completely different

lawyer bear by claire dancer Our friend the anonymous criminal defense attorney has come back to answer some questions people had about certain things the police and private security personnel have been documented doing at Occupys around the country. But first, let us begin with a caveat: the following information relates specifically to California and pertains to California statutes. L.A. RECORD's anonymous criminal defense attorney friend (LARACDAF from here on out) knows California law. Some of the stuff may apply generally in other states, but some of it may [...]

This week you're all getting an extra treat, as I have not one but two cover versions to share with you all. The reason for this being that tonight I am getting to see both Butcher Boy and Adam Stafford playing in the Southside of Glasgow. Now for any of non- weegies out there, the reason I am particularly looking forward to this one is that aside from the Academy, very rarely do we get any good gigs south of the river in sunny Glasgow. In fact I can only really think of the odd gig at [...]
Birmingham five-piece The Arcadian Kicks recently released their newest single, "You Play the Girl". This new offering is a noticeable step towards the mainstream for them, at least compared to the neo-psychedelic organ infusions of past efforts like "I Can't Sleep". However, they haven't lost their roots, still carrying a sound packed with wailing guitars
With Will Haven's wildly successful UK show taking place here in London last Friday, we've spent much of the past week revisiting the various bands set up by members of Will Haven while their main band was on hiatus. One of these is, of course, is the mighty sludege-doom combo, The Abominable Iron Sloth. So [...]

Now that I have a great turntable and pre-amp, I've been visiting the archives to see which albums and singles deserve to be re-recorded and re-posted. Obviously, the soundtrack to Urgh! A Music War was one of the first on the list. These new recordings sound light-years better than my last attempt, and I highly recommended you download them even if you have an older copy I posted. I've talked about Urgh! several times over, so I'll keep the intro brief. It's an amazing document of a time period in music, when the punk [...]
Nostalgia. It's that special moment of pure unadulterated love for the past. Symptoms include: a faint smile on your face sheer glee that eagerness to talk about every detail your remember from that day. An archeological expedition into YouTube saw the unearthing of one such prominent nostalgic moment. A golden egg of a video was dredged from the ethers of the internet that documents The Police gig that happened in 1980 at famed rock haven Rang Bhavan in Mumbai. This was the first British rock gig [...]
