Oh fall...what a season! And a season that calls for a playlist. Fall carries a somewhat odd musical mood in my mind. Fall for me should be filled with calm melodies and energetic vocals; epic songs that you can listen to on the way back from a football game or on the way to a 12 oclock horror movie. See, good fall music has a big responsibiliy on its personified shoulders. It has to be able to ease you off your summer loves and your huge summer twee phase, and into drinking coffee and wearing sweaters. But it's job doesn't [...]
It's nice to come back home every now and again to visit the parents, say hello, meet people you haven't seen in a while, reaffirm how integral friends and family are to your life. You know..usual stuff. Music is as important to my life as all of these things (hence the blog). It's been a fairly relaxing weekend at this end and the soundtrack largely has been Tunng. Tuung are from London which is evident from singer Mike Lindsay's accent. There's no getting around it, their sound is very close to [...]
London, UK The music of Tunng can be defined as experimental electronic folk. This London-based outfit received a lot of attention after covering Bloc Party’s “Pioneers.†Both versions were used on an episode of last season’s The O.C . , which is how I discovered Tunng. Yes, The O.C. is one of my dirty little secrets. Tunng's [...]
Bloc Party is great live, even on an arena-size stage in Williamsburg. Jerry Yeti really wanted them to end the encore, like the alway have before, with "The Answer." Instead they ended with "Pioneers." The Secret Machines and Mew also played. More pics at Product Shop . DOWNLOAD The Answer (MP3) Pioneers (MP3) Pioneers - Tunng Cover (MP3) - [...]

Tunng have crafted another fabulous album. Comments of the Inner Chorus is a more vocal-based album than Tunng's last LP, Mother's Daughter and other Songs , laden with layered vocals and spoken word. Their experimental folktronica music offers an interesting alternative to traditional folk music for all the "folks" who think they're "folked" out, with an array of beeps, blips, and clicks throughout their songs. Put away your Postal Service and Rocket Summer for a change and give Tunng a try. Tunng - Jenny Again [...]
Ok, I've got three songs for you all on this third day of the workweek (plus a bonus song, but we'll get to that later). These three have nothing to do with one another, really, except that I've been listening to them a bunch in my eternal efforts to kill the empty workday. Here's me at work with my buddy Andy: Tunng are an up'n'coming gorillapants favorite-their new album Comments of the Inner Chorus has been tearing up both mine and Niina's personal charts (and you might [...]
Here's the second part of the list, this time a little bit more with folk and avantgarde influences. Pierre bastien - Deuxieme Teleconcert Moderato Pierre Bastien is a wonderful musician. His robotic orchestra and his compositional ability is almost superhuman. In a time where everything is electronic, taking the hard way and creating an unmatched soundscape using mechanics does once again display that technology is only a means to create, and it's the synergy between the musician and his instrument that counts. [...]
For as long as there have been good songs, there have been good bands that are ready and willing to cover these already recorded good songs. Below you will find a collec tion of nifty originals and their covers from nifty bands and their copy cats. Listen to both, see which one you like the most, and then tell me! 'Cause I really want to know! Let's have a discussion about this! Eh? Pioneers [...]
