Check out this track by David Newton (he used to be in The Mighty Lemon Drops in case you didn't know - shame on me, but I didn't!) & The Mighty Angels ...it's absolutely fantastic and that is all I am going to say...fan-tas-tic!!! + Paint The Town
Someone has uploaded this radio rip of Spock ; the first track released by the Vince Clarke / Martin Gore collaboration VCMG ...teaching my kids these days that they must keep quiet, when they have nothing nice to say, so I'm not going to comment on it...
Since this track by Alaska In Winter was uploaded to SoundCloud just yesterday I thought it was a new one. However I've just found out that it was included on an EP that was released as far back as in June (I received thousands of emails, but why didn't any inform me about this release?). Also learned that Brandon Bethancourt has been battling all kinds of personal problems, probably explaining the EP title ? Demons sounds pretty good mixing electronic sounds with Balkan [...]
Check out brand new Danish artist/band/project Chorus Grant ...described as " from computer-grunge pop, to 50's do-do run run and Dylan'esqe folk ", though I'm not quite sure what that is supposed to mean exactly...but it sure is interesting...more songs can be streamed at Reverbnation ...
This is sweet, nice, cool etc.... Hannah Schneider performs a stripped down live version of recent single In The Line Of Fire in a (don't think it's hers) kitchen... In The Line Of Fire by Hannah Schneider
I know I've written this so many times that it's beyond tedious. But nonetheless I'm happily going to repeat myself and utter to the world "I receive far too many emails"! Reading, listening, deleting and every once in while replying and posting eats up far too much of what precious little time I can dedicate to this blog. Consequently it has happens more and more often that I take a quick look at the mailbox, shake my head and sigh "not tonight baby…" So the mails from those days probably never will get a closer look meaning that there's an [...]
The Azure Blue debut album Rule of Thirds is out today...stream the whole thing on SoundCloud ...incredibly catchy stuff... + The Catcher In The Rye Socio Peruvian pop musician Francois Peglau shares new track Lonesome Café . Good one! + Lonesome [...]
Watch the new video from High Highs for their track Flowers Bloom ...both video and song are dreamy and beautiful...or as I wrote some (10!) months ago: " Imagine lying comfortably on your back on a carpet of soft green grass gazing at the clouds drifting by while listening to this "... High Highs - Flowers Bloom from Video Marsh on [...]
Check out the new Spleen United single Days Of Thunder ...I used to love this band, but not a fan of the direction the band has taken since the debut album...
Check out this new track by Sweden's Loud as Light ...it's grand, it's epic and it's simply beautiful!!! Lights are Out by Loud as Light
Check out this new video from Morning Tapes (heck - yet another band I had never heard of before opening the mailbox this morning)...not sure if it's supposed to make any sense, but quite funny (and a tiny bit scary) to watch. And the song is rather pretty good as well (uptempo, guitar driven pop/rock thing)...download the self-titled (debut?) EP for free via SoundCloud ... [...]
Straight from the inbox...until this morning Australian one-man project Space March was completely new to me...but having just finished streaming the new (and the band's/project's third) album over at SoundCloud , I'm glad I finally got introduced to it, as Monumental is a pretty nice collection of 80's inspired (and I'm a sucker for that) synth-pop songs. Definitely recommend you check it out... [...]
J.A. recommends this energetic and catchy new track called Future Gold by Victories At Sea ... swap your email address for an mp3... FUTURE GOLD by victories at sea
Brand new video from Junica ...great video and fantastic song (pop music doesn't get much better than this)! And It Hurts by junica
Check out the pretty cool new video for the equally cool single Two Rings by The Ice Choir (out now on Shelflife and yesboyicecream ). Wonderful 80's inspiration... + Two Rings
Check out the video for new track Crank It Up by The Boombox Hearts . A sort of "in-between" release as it wasn't included on the debut EP and won't be included on the album, which the band (this comes straight from the horse's mouth ) has begun recording. Crank It Up is sad, beautiful and lo-fi, sounding quite Iron & Wine (ish).
Just need to get this off my chest. Please, please, please (multiply by hundreds if you like) stop sending me promo mails where I have to go to Pitchfork or some other ridiculously huge music site to download the track you want me to post/share/mention/feature/(or more likely) give a listen and then delete. I know this is a pretty shitty and lame excuse of a music blog, and no one really gives a rat's ass anyway about anything I think of anything. And you're probably right that the blog should have breathed its last breath ages ago. But [...]
From the department of obscure and unnoticed bands comes this....Check out new track Never Enough by Swedish pop noir (not entirely sure what the definition of this is, but it's the term used by the band itself) act Mono Noir . A somewhat dreamy and sweet little pop song...I like it...hope you do as well... Mono Noir - Never enough + [...]
Via It's A Trap …check out the new Choir of Young Believers single Patricia's Thirst . Interesting though rather different (quite 80'ish inspired isn't it?) when compared to the songs on the debut...
In a perfect world Play People would be everyone's favorite pop band. Sadly this isn't a perfect world...check out the band's new track Never Been and help make the world a little less imperfect... Never Been by Play People
