I'm going to start something new today, being Thursday. Most people start something new on a Monday, or on a Friday. Not me, I like Thursdays. So here it is. Every Thursday, im going to post a few remixes of my favourite artists. They may be old, they me be new. You may find them amazing, or terrible. It's not the point, i just want to hear them in one place so it seems a logical choice. Today... Tracey Thorn. Ex Everything But The Girl frontwoman. Accomplished solo artist in her own right. And the owner [...]

The rise of the artist blog as official mouthpiece in 2008 may have been in part because record labels can't afford to hire decent PR staff anymore, but hey, you take the good with the bad. And there was a lot of good to come out of artists hitting up Tumblr, MySpace, et al; these blogs were really effective at humanizing the vacuum presented by endless paparazzi shots and press releases, whether through " clarity posts ," in which artists put gossips on blast, or posts explaining what life is like when bands graduate to bigger tours , or [...]
Power Sergio - Jensen Sportag It's All True(Escort Extended Remix) - Tracey Thorn Placid Mind - Will Baxter
Hey everyone. Tell me something interesting. I like hearing interesting stuff. Did you know owls are the only bird that can see the colour blue? Anyway, I'm going to keep using my weekend plans as post material, so cop a couple of Joakim tracks. He's playing at the Civic on Friday which I'm really keen for! Electro's favourite French Fry, Joakim has (obviously) been on the scene for yonks and is completely awesome. Check these out - the first is a remix by Tim Goldsworthy of DFA, which you clearly can't go past, and the second (thanks [...]
Hooray for Tracey Thorn ! Remember the track Missing by Everything But The Girl? I certainly do! Tracey was the lead singer of the Ben Watt-produced hit that travelled around the world. Last year, Tracey returned to the scene with a brand new solo album called Out of The Woods . Today i'm sharing a remix of a single off that album, called Grand Canyon . The remix was produce by Dirty South who make very great stuff for [...]
![Tracey Thorn Pops Her Head Up [Listening Station]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1206203_lg.jpg)
The ever-bewitching Tracey Thorn has posted some new music to her MySpace page: the mournful "Overture," on which Thorn's rich alto sounds as clear as a bell, is a collaboration between her and the gloomy Hungarian trio The Unbending Trees that'll appear on the band's next album, Chemically Happy (Is The New Sad) . Also, she's collaborating with Jens Lekman for her follow-up to 2007's outstanding Out Of The Woods , and here are the plans for it as of now : "there will be a guitar, and a mic, and jens with his laptop, [...]
I've never really been able to go past a Joakim edit or remix before, he always seems to keep producing these epic pieces of music that captivate you over and over again, from his creeping rendition of Cut Copy's 'Hearts On Fire' to the italo disco remix of 'A Mountain for President' . Here are two more masterpieces; the first Joakim edit you might recognise from such mixtapes as Hoodrat's Finger Prince part 2 , it makes a sneaky appearance at the beginning. The second remix, for Max Berlin , [...]
Çok zorda kaldığımda gidip gelip aynı kadınları dinleyen bir bünyeye sahip olduğumdan, duymak istediğim erkek seslerinin içimi titretmesi beklentisini taşıyorum her daim. Birkaç ay önce bir pazar günü, Dino beyler No Kinda Man 'i Lale Müldür'le birlikte karşıma çıkarmıştı. Ancak bu şarkıyla gerçek anlamda kurduğumuz bağın farkına yeni yeni varıyorum. İlla ki bişeyler yaşayacak ve ona uygun birkaç nota, güzel bir ses bulacağımı biliyorum ama bu sefer ben kaşındım. İtiraf ediyorum. Oturup araştırdım, ne kadar melankolik olduklarını test edip onayladım. No Kinda Man hakkında alt metinler [...]
lyn I'll start off with Lifelike 's remix of Does It Offend You, Yeah? 's Epic Last Song. It's a bit slower than Lifelike's normal stuff, that's not saying much though cause the song was pretty upbeat. I highly recommend it. Second is the Hot Chip remix of Tracey Thorn . Now I think this is sadly the first Hot Chip remix I've added. Poor music blogging on my part, I apologize. And the Jack Tennis remix of Neonman . [...]
Time to go down a new wormhole. And its a good one. Here's the part where I talk about Hot Chip again. I know. Enough of them already. I only mention them for a brief second because I like learning about the influences of the bands I like and get a load of the remixes noted on their Wikipedia entry . Scroll down to the bottom and you'll see they've done a ton of them, dating back to 2004. Several bands here that I hadn't heard of... Am generally [...]
Sıkıntının başlangıcından beri pazar günlerine yüklenen anlamsızlıklar yığını her daim içimizi baymakta. Haftanın en sıkıcı ve en evden çıkılmayası gününde pazar ayinlerine yakışır nitelikte iç bayıcı şarkılardan bir demeti her haftanın son gününde buradan paylaşılmayı görev belleme durumlarımdayız.- Laf kalabalığı beleş müzik kadar tatlı değildir- Castanets - Dancing With Someone (Privilege of Everything) Tracey Thorn - Hands Up To The Ceiling I Might Be Wrong - Lightning Stripes, Then Rain [...]
I love to make playlists and mix-tapes, I think I've mentioned that before. But I never put them up on the blog. I did once, a long time ago, but since then I've not done it. I'm really pleased with this one, though, so I thought, What the hey, why not make a zip file so you can download the whole thing rather than waste time with each individual track? I call it "a late night playlist" because it's primarily mellow and should be conducive to relaxing and [...]
I love the electronic Everything but the Girl (EBTG) albums (wasn't a big fan of the acoustic pop albums, but that's just me) , I love most of the remixes by Ben Watt (one half of EBTG) , but I wasn't really taken by Tracey's solo album. Don't get me wrong, there are several tracks I like, but I don't exactly love them. What I do love is Tracey's voice. With that said, this Hot Chip remix of Tracey's Kings Cross is brilliant, dark, and overall moving. I love the detuning of notes that [...]
It may seem as though we've been slipping into slow dormancy over the past few weeks here at AiMT. Here's my first of three excuses. I'll get around to posting the other two (singles and albums lists) sooner or later. All in good time… These lists are by far the biggest features I've ever written/compiled on this site or any other. Seriously. There are approximately 800 billion lines of html code for each list. Shit is insane. So please forgive my lack of posts in the past few weeks. After I get these lists [...]

Yeni yılla beraber müzikal olaylarla ve gruplarla olan alakamızın had safhaya ulaşmasıyla beraber müzikal zevkimiz de fazlasıyla gelişti sanıyorum. Eskiden birkaç şarkısını dinleyebildiğimizde bile duygu patlamaları yaşatacak grupların çoğunu es geçmemizi sağlayacak fazlalıkta mp3 ve albümle dolu seneyi tamamlayıp geriye baktığımızda yeni türeyen birçok indie-shit grup, envai çeşit müzik türünü sentezleyen deneysel abiler, gitarını elinden düşürmeyen yeni romantikler ve seri üretime geçmiş disko topu müzisyenleriyle karşılaştık. Birçoğunu tüketip attıysak da, bir o kadarı da zihnimizde kendinden izler bıraktı.Bende kendi çapımda pasta kıvamında zevksel-renksel bir liste peydahladım. Buyrunuz: 10- PJ Harvey - White Chalk [...]
model : Maud. credit : In a relationship *fascinating blog* S'il fallait faire un genre / un jour, le 25 décembre serait new-wave. J'aime bien la new-wave, je ne dis pas ça pour me justifier d'avoir essayé d'écouter en entier le dernier Duran Duran , ni parce que j'aurais lu le livre de Bizot (RIP) sur le sujet, ni pour FAIRE LA NIQUE à Brodinski , non vraiment la new-wave est comme une soeur pour moi, je l'avais perdue de vue depuis [...]
Sometime last winter, sQuare one studios (R.I.P.) hosted a benefit for the Second Gallery (R.I.P.) wherein we welcomed a NYC-based artist by the name of Kingdom . It was a very lively benefit featuring DJs Red Foxxx, Lone Wolf and Baltimoroder, plus an opening performance from squall/noise duo Dania Shapes . We also recorded some of the party for the film to document the sQuare one phenomenon. Kingdom is a visual artist from New York (that's his excellent Mary J. Blige projection above more here and here ), but lately he's [...]
