As part of The Orchard's Creative Licensing team, we're always on the hunt for interesting covers. This month, we've assembled a playlist of some of of our favorite discoveries from the past year, including Albert Hammond, Jr. of The Strokes taking on the Big Star power-pop classic "Thirteen;" The Dandy Warhols' ...

Danske Silver 6 er tilbage med single nummer to, Wide Awake, en meditativ støjhymne, hvor der synges om at elske, have tømmermænd, om at smile og om at glemme. Endnu engang viser bandet, at de har fundet en fin lille niche med deres selverklærede noise-gospel. Silver 6 — Wide Awake Læs min introduktion til bandet og deres første single Are We Lovers her .

Sailor Jerry's now-infamous [and free] pop-up tattoo shops seem to be popping up more and more these days. Sometimes they're so impromptu and exclusive that they come off more like guerrilla tattoo-shops than pop-ups; like two degrees away from getting a stick-and-poke by your buddy in a basement while you're both wasted -just 'cause he had a gun. So basically, SJ's people have shit figured out. They know what we want -rum, tattoos, and garage bands- and they're giving it to us. So in that spirit, we nabbed a few slick images, taken [...]

I'm emerging from the three day whirlwind that was Austin Psych Fest in which I experienced the gamut of emotions. There were the highs: a picturesque locale along the Colorado River, delicious Tito's Vodka Infusions (like lemon/ginger), and music, so much music! Then there were the lows: A torrential downpour (mud.everywhere), and an unfortunate situation with ant hill. First came the rain, then came the mud. [...]

Silver 6 består af Mads Hyhne, Jens Hein, Silas Hagemann Tinglef, Mads Brinch og Rasmus Valldorf. Navnene vækker nok ikke meget genklang i din hukommelse, men de 5 medlemmer har tidligere spillet med navne som The Raveonettes, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Howl Baby Howl, Nikolaj Nørlund, Marie Fisker og 4 Guys From the Future, så det er altså ikke uerfarne kræfter, der er på spil i Silver 6. Rockbaren Drone på Nørrebro i København har startet deres eget pladeselskab, Drone Recordings og Silver 6 er deres første udgivelse. Bandet spiller psykedelisk, stenet og beskidt rock med et [...]
12 years ago, when guitar music was being liberated from rap-metal bondage by some of the most exciting proponents we’ve seen, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club first emerged, stalking through fag smoke and engine fumes and asking ‘Whatever Happened to My Rock and Roll?’ without a twinkle of irony. The none-more-black San Franciscans made for a dark, druggy and confrontational third man to the fashion-house punk of the Strokes and Jack White’s candy-cane blues revival. By night, they sacrificed at the altar of the Reid brothers. By day, they galloped after Frodo through Middle Earth. Rock was dangerous again. [...]
Poetic words beautifully strung together with music, at times fragile, with occasional bursts of certitude.

2009 is the year where I rekindled my love for music blogging . It's also the first time in years where I actually wrote about music without an attachment to salary or advertising/revenue expectations. B logging is supposed to be enjoyable, and it is, again. If there's music I'm going to post it's because I love it, or at least really like it enough to share with my friends and readers. If there's a show I'm attending it's because I want to be there, not because I have to be there. [...]
