Now That's What I Call 2008! 2008 was a fantastic year in music. So fantastic, in fact, that it inspired me to start blogging about the great acts and albums of that time. After years of anonymous music writing on Wikipedia (fighting with editors on which bands were truly "notable" and Wiki-eligible), I decided to take my own shot at promoting my favorite acts, and thus Three Colours was born. Feeling a hint of nostalgia this week, I put together an HDPP with some of my favorite songs from '08. [...]

Today I'm straying away from my standard album review for a very special occasion... the iPod.

When it was announced back in August that Bon Iver was holding a remix contest for the songs featured on the Grammy-award winning Bon Iver, Bon Iver, bedroom musicians and talented musical alchemists

BON IVER has to be one of my favourite acts ever -  Justin Vernon 's calm and comforting vocals are the perfect soundtrack to end your day matched with a beautiful sunset and a warm tea, you'd be in a place pretty darn close to heaven. BON IVER 's latest self titled album is one to be played when you're in the mood to just snuggle right into your doona. It was well worth waiting for my old high school desktop to slowly download the album from iTunes [...]

We've been keeping loose tabs on Bon Iver's current "Stems Project" . The winner of the contest gets $1000 and is featured on an exclusive Bon Iver Spotify remix album. So far, the remix of "Beth/Rest" from Philiadelphia's Work Drugs has been the first one that has truly stuck out for us. According to the band regarding the remix: Work Drugs traveled to a small cabin in a densely wooded area of The Poconos to find inspiration for the Bon Iver remix challenge. Using a 10 year old Packard Bell [...]

• Bon Iver - Beth/Rest (Work Drugs Remix)

In one of the strangest combinations so far this year, Work Drugs have entered Spotify's Bon Iver remix competition with their take on "Beth/Rest". Strange in a good way, unlike that Grimes, Blood Diamonds, Kreayshawn calamity not so long ago. continue reading >>

Ever wanna add something to your favorite artist’s music? Bon Iver is giving fans a chance!

The intense beats and heavy rhythms typical of dance music certainly have their time and place, but sometimes we need to slow it down a bit. Teendaze is offering us that necessary break with their remix of "Perth," originally by the Grammy-winning band Bon Iver. His lovely and moving remix of "Perth" makes the task of turning a Bon Iver song into a dance music track look easy, which it isn't.  The remix was birthed as the result of a Bon Iver x Spotify x Indaba Music remix contest so we're curious to see the results - especially [...]

Still riding high on the heels of his critically-lauded, doubly-eponymous album, Bon Iver this week kicked off a new interactive project in conjunction with popular music streaming service Spotify and social-networking site Indaba Music. Yesterday, the stem files to all ten songs on Bon Iver, Bon Iver were released on the site for fans to ... Continue reading �

Dammit… first covering Bon Iver, now Phoenix? I’d wanna kick this kid if I didn’t love her so much.

Afternoon Dream Edition I can't get enough of Kishi Bashi's newest LP 151a , and since you can't access that album on Spotify currently, I've put together a playlist that pulls from the same sounds of airy/folksy dream pop. As the weather warms and the days grow longer, this week's Hump Day Power Play is perfect for lounging next to the open breezy window. So go ahead and grab your favorite book, hit play on this HDPP, and as always, enjoy. Hear it by simply clicking [...]

With this year's Grammy Awards coming up in less than a month I am unsure if indie rock and electronic music fans should be excited or disappointed in the recent popularity gains in the past few years. Just last year Arcade Fire won Album of the Year for The Suburbs . This was one of the first signs that other forms of music were gaining a mass popularity. Now this year, you have Skrillex  breaking through with the music genre and in your face sound of dubstep. The electronic artist is up for [...]
