![[Listen/Download] – PS I Love You – "Leftovers" (Featuring Diamond Rings)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3214358_lg.jpg)
Back in 2009, PS I Love You teamed up with Diamond Rings on a split 73 that yielded the irresistibly catchy "All Yr Songs" from Diamond Rings. That track introduced John O'Regan a/k/a Diamond Rings' infectious baritone to the masses, spawning critical love and hatred in equal measures. Somewhat forgotten in that critical tsunami was the flip-side of that 73, "Facelove" by PS I Love You. Well, O'Regan has returned to help his former wax partners by lending his vocals to "Leftovers," which PS I Love You will release as a single on February 22nd. Earlier this week [...]
![[Listen/Download] Diamond Rings- "All Yr Songs", "It's Not My Party" and "Something Else"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3020448_lg.jpg)
by teepoo Diamond Rings is multi-platorm artist John O from Toronto's alter ego. Not new of course to the blogging world, being brought to popularity by P4k and Chromewaves . I decided it was my turn to blog about them. I had the opportunity to see him when I they were a wee band and John always manages to rock the room. You'd think from his over the top style that you're just going to get a lot of glitter, but that is not the case. What [...]
After racking up thousands and thousands of views with his let's-just-have-a-goddamn-good -time videos on YouTube, Diamond Rings -a.k.a. John O-has finally released his full-length debut, Special Affections . It's out on Secret City Recs , and you can stream the entire LP below. Expect a review. -
I'm certain that the increasing popularity of directing cynicism towards SXSW, based simply on the fact that it is relying more and more on the sponsorship money of large companies, is entirely based on jealousy. The recent emergence of Diamond Rings, aka John O'Regan, at SXSW continues to prove that whilst, yes, the event is being propped up by the money of soulless suits, and yes, it is a very good excuse for many people to gorge on free beer and food until they're rolling around in the gutter smelling like a week old KFC bargain bucket, the festival continues [...]
Tonight's song comes from John O'Regan, and his indie-pop/electronic-folk (yeah I'm genre tagging something electronic-folk) side-project Diamond Rings; his main project is fronting the Toronto-based indie-rock act The D'Ubervilles. As far as I can tell, the ridiculously charming All Yr Songs can only be found on a 7-inch vinyl split-release featuring Diamond Rings and Kingston, Ontario's PS I Love You. Unfortunately, said release has been sold out and I have no leads on how to get more music from Diamond Rings. If anyone has any information on a forthcoming release from the band, let me know. Until then, you [...]
LA CORPS MINCE DE FRANCOIS Are blogs really the modern taste-makers they proclaim to be? OK, so we stamp our self-proclaimed authority on new music, but really we're simply the stream in which it flows, rather than being its source. The surfers of scenes and the social butterflies of new music if you will. Bands and record labels are the ones that actually carve out the direction. We are the reporters, giving voice to the good out of the plethora of crap that's out there, making sure that the bands and labels we use [...]
There's a lot of nostalgia revolving around the Toronto-based project Diamond Rings, but that don't call it dated. This is modern. The internet is why you're hearing genuine bedroom pop like this, duh.John O is the sole member of Diamond Rings, which seems to be his home away from home when he's not delving into more adventurous efforts with The D'Urbervilles.This track is currently out on a
diamond rings - "all yr songs" (download) "All Yr Songs" is one of those songs that you might as well just put on repeat, because no matter what, you'll be playing it over and over. This song will get stuck in your head. I've even been waking up singing it lately. To make things even cooler, John O'Regan , (the creative force behind Diamond Rings ) is a super nice guy. He's also the lead vocalist for the Toronto-based band The D'Urbervilles [...]
Yesterday, writing wise at least, was fairly productive. I must admit I felt invigorated having a project to get stuck into. As I bounced out of bed this morning, I had high hopes for another day of the same. These hopes were quickly dashed. Checking emails first thing in the morning might have to be cut out of my routine. First email was from my accountant. In case you might not know, technically speaking, I have my own translation company. A checkered past. If you need any documents translated from German to English, you now know who to come to. I [...]
