While I may have mentioned Jessica Fichot 's music two years ago, that is practically an eternity in the world of blogging. And considering I mentioned her on a mix, the mention consists of roughly "oh wow, this song is good, please listen to it." I can do better than that! Ms. Fichot was born in the US, the product of French and Chinese couplings. She was then raised in France, which is a good thing for music fans. She later graduated from two music schools, one in Paris and one in Boston, and even wrote a lot of [...]

Admittedly so, we were on team Ke$ha when we first heard some early demos way back when. Then, her radio friendly and widely appealing (for most) song, Tik Tok , basically took off, with the support of P. Diddy and some west coast constituents. This beast, however, was not feeling it. Until today. Cali-dude, Skeet Skeet hit us up with his remix of the tune, and we kind of wish this was the original. It's everything we wanted it to be and more. With the [...]

Periodo pregno di novità per Jennifer Lopez : solo ieri vi presentavamo l' audio streaming di Louboutins , singolo che dovrà trainare il nuovo album Love? in uscita a gennaio; oggi arriva invece il video ufficiale della buzz track Fresh Out the Oven , progetto parallelo dell'artista portoricana firmato con l'alter ego Lola che vede la partecipazione di Pitbull . A dirigere la clip è stato chiamato un pezzo grosso come Jonas Akerlund -colui che di recente ha realizzato Celebration [...]
Estratto della nuova versione De Luxe dell'album "Wait For Me", ecco il video di "One Time We Lived". Diretto da Mark Pellington e animato da Robert Powers (già responsabile dei Wait For Me Blips ), accompagna quello che dovrebbe essere il primo singolo disponibile solo in download digitale, a partire dal prossimo 8 dicembre. Moby , intanto, presenterà insieme all'attore Ed Westwick e ad Alexa Chung di MTV , la serata di gala degli International Emmy Awards 2009 . Il 23 novembre sarà infatti sul palco newyorkese per [...]

Come vi abbiamo accennato qualche giorno fa , l'etichetta discografica EMI , detenendo formalmente i diritti di sfruttamento esclusivo del materiale dei Beatles , ha citato in giudizio due siti internet per aver indebitamente digitalizzato e messo in vendita gli album e i singoli brani dei Fab Four senza averne assolutamente l'autorizzazione: per la natura stessa del processo (o, se proprio vogliamo essere maliziosi, per il prestigio dell'accusante), la corte ha già emesso la sentenza. Il giudice federale americano John F. Walter, infatti, con un decreto ingiuntivo d'urgenza ha ordinato la chiusura immediata [...]
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 [...]

Being a Brit I know a thing or two about arriving late. With the train system back home being reliably unreliable, it's rarely easy to show up at the most appropriate time. Quite what Floridian Mike Diaz's excuse is for the timing of his new musical output, however, is open to debate. MYSPACE / PUREVOLUME / LAST.FM [...]
It looks like Shakira needs a little more attention these days. In a bid for more eyes to be on her for a change, Shakira decided to share with everybody how she believes she was born with the ability to belly-dance: "For me, it was, and is, more of a natural thing. It's something that was practically given to me at birth, and for which I never had to train myself. These movements, they are inside me and I can call them back whenever I need them." How wonderful that is! We have a superhero among us! Now Shakira can [...]

Last year, "You've Changed", the bouncy house pop tune penned by Lauren Flax featuring the vocals of her friend Sia, was one of the brightest spots on the sun when it came to undeniably fun and near-perfect tracks for any...

Υποτίθεται ότι το όνομά τους πήραν από το ντεμπούτο άλμπουμ των Band "Music from Big Pink" (1968), όπου Big Pink είναι ένα κτίριο στη Νέα Υόρκη με ροζ πρόσοψη, το οποίο έπαιξε ρόλο στην ιστορία της μουσικής εκείνης της εποχής, του Μπομπ Ντίλαν και κατ επέκτασιν των Band. Θα μπορούσε πάντως να το δει κανείς και χρωματικά το θέμα, μια και το βαθύ μαύρο του shoegaze τους συνδυάζεται με το τρυφερό ροζ των ερωτικών ιστοριών και καταστάσεων που απασχολεί το δίδυμο από το Λονδίνο, ένα από τα ...βαριά χαρτιά της 4AD [...]

Erik Hassle, the well-coiffed young lad you've heard us rave about in the past, continues his onslaught of terrificness with this, an acoustic cover of the Is This It track "Someday" by The Strokes. Not much else to be said...

Back in March of this year, I got swept off my feet by The-Dream produced girl quarter of Electrik Red . Having heard singles Drink in My Cup and W.F.Y. prior, a new song was shaping up to secure my solid backing of their efforts. Result? Mission accomplished! With the release of Friend Lover as the next single, and subsequent video, it was inevitable that the girls would be repetitiously loved and listened to here in Beastonia. With a producer like Dream backing [...]
