There's a very special kind of music that I like to listen to on a rainy day or when I can't sleep. It's the type of music that's soft, slow, and relaxing, and instead of playing around with a ton of different instruments, it typically features just a guitar or piano and a voice. With the gloomy winter weather that we have been having in Toronto lately, I've found myself listening to artists like Iron and Wine and Patty Griffin on repeat. Both acoustic in a number of [...]
01 If I'm going to start a project about covers, this is pretty much the way to send it off. I'm not one to state that a cover is better than the original, because without the original, the cover wouldn't exist. This is all very philosophical, but I am a music blogger after all. However, in this situation, the cover made me appreciate the original structure. Ben Marwood 's take on The Postal Service 's is a stripped down, acoustic, melodic, melancholic track (much more along the lines of [...]
![[Introducing] – The Sayitaints](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4029861_lg.jpg)
Tweet I can tell you virtually nothing about The Sayitaints . There are two of them: John Gudenzi and Marc Nieto. They have one track out: "Flutter" . They're from Baltimore? They like to pump 808s. From here on out, it's just my opinion. To be perfectly honest, you're almost as well just skipping this bit and listening to the track for yourself. But let it never be said that I don't like the sound of my own voice, so [...]
Unless you live under a rock, you know who Birdy is. Her music has been featured in several shows, including the hit show Vampire Diaries . That was the first time I heard her rendition of Bon Iver's, Skinny Lover . Then a few month's later her xx - Shelter cover was featured on the show. Afterward, I could NOT escape the covers and the moody Sophie Mueller translation of the track via the delicious video did not make me forget her at all. [...]
Every damn cover that Birdy does has me falling hopelessly back in love with this 15-year old. Stop it! It's not right! Birdy - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (Postal Service cover)
Birdy 's been around for sometime now, and she's proven time and again that she understands how to create powerful and effective covers. Her latest remake is of The Postal Service's (remember them?) "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight," removing the funky electronic bleeps and enhancing the beauty of the song with her ethereal voice. Birdy - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (Postal Service cover)
I feel like the whole world has already heard about indie-pop duo, Midi Matilda . I look around the interweb and see sources as big as the Huffington Post featuring them. How did MTIB miss them? I'm not sure. It's easy to miss a lot in the music world nowadays, but I'm not here to make excuses, because it doesn't really matter when you hear this band. It matters that you hear them. Midi Matilda writes infectious pop music that is comparable to Postal Service , but only in the way that almost any band that [...]
Ok, I admit it... advent blogging fail. At this rate I'll still be catching up with my advent well into the new year. Oh well. Some people don't like Owl City... and I get that. But I admit that a lot of times I turn it on and pretend that it's a brand new Postal [...]
The Postal Service - This Place Is A Prison A nouveau un post sur deux romans de la rentrée, où il est question d'enfermement, sous quelque forme que ce soit. Enfermement physique d'abord dans Plus léger que l'air de l'argentin Federico Jeanmaire, où une vieille dame vivant seule dans un appartement garde prisonnier dans sa salle de bain un adolescent venu la cambrioler, et qui s'est retrouvé dans cette situation après que la vieille dame lui ait fait croire qu'elle cachait [...]
New band out of Ottawa, Canada called Fevers. Cut from the same cloth as M83 and The Postal Service, the band does well by mixing electronic dance music with indie rock hooks. Download their EP "Passion Is Dead" here. Looking forward to hearing more from this band very soon. Enjoy! Fevers| Passion [...]
Wenn immer ein Lied als "catchy" bezeichnend wird, gehe ich lieber auf Distanz. Doch verdammt, dieses "Bam" hier ist catchy, das Video ist sowas von großartig und die Melodie klebt mir schon seit mehreren Tagen in den Ohren fest. Und da verzeihe ich ihnen auch die Nähe zu "Postal Service". Ich lehne mich jetzt einfach mal für diese beiden Italiener weit aus dem Fenster: Forza Michele Ducci e Degli Angioli! 2012 könnte euer Jahr werden... Mehr M+A bei Facebook oder auf ihrer Webseite .

"I mean, look at me— I'm an actor. An actor, for crying out loud. You know how much rejection I face every day? But in this business of show, you have to have the heart of an angel and the hide... of an elephant." Words of wisdom from the perennial actor / never-nude, Tobias Funke. Yes, not everyone's cut out to be a a DeNiro, or a Regis, or a Pinkett-Smith, but there are a select few actors & actresses that have reached the pantheon of greatness, which is, of course, being memorialized in song. Such [...]
