Gotye aka Wally DeBacker of Australia has been awarded three Grammys for Alternative Music Album, Pop Duo/Group Performance and Record of The Year at The GRAMMYs also, Watch Prince award Kimbra and Gotye for "Somebody That I Used to Know" for Pop Duo/Group Performance

The Grammy awards have now all been given out and Belgian musician Goyte walked away with Record of the year for his super hit, "Somebody that I used to know." This would have not come as a surprise to many as his song enjoyed remarkable critical and commercial success last year and was always a favorite. What may come as a surprise though, is the fact that his initial inspiration for the song came from Luiz Bonfa' s 1967 song "Seville" from his albums "Luiz Bonfa plays beautiful music." [...]

Para empezar esta nota, debemos decir y aceptar que la cantidad de covers que se le han hecho a la multi aclamada y exitosa canción de Gotye son muchísimos. Algunos muy sencillos, otros que resultan malos y otros que han sobresalido. Uno de ellos es éste que hace la banda proveniente de México, liderada por [...]

• mooi - Somebody (That I used to know) - Gotye Cover

If earning numerous Grammy awards isn't enough to skyrocket to pop stardom, Adele's recent feat surely will. The classy songstress has claimed her throne for her best selling album, 21 , for two consecutive years in 2011 and 2012. It sold 4.41 million in 2012 and 5.82 million in 2011. Not only that but 21 topped No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in March 2011 and has yet been absent even in the weekly top 40. The album was followed up by [...]

Se acerca el final del 2012, un año que musicalmente nos ha dejado grandes momentos: desde el regreso de bandas legendarias como The Rolling Stones o Soundgarden, a la publicación de nuevos trabajos de grupos como Bat For Lashes, que están empezando a labrarse un hueco propio dentro de la complicada escena musical. Sin embargo, si repasamos el listado de las canciones más escuchadas en la plataforma de música en streaming Spotify , es imposible no utilizar la palabra decepción para definir los gustos de más de 15 millones de usuarios en todo el mundo.

The elasticity of this song’s lyrics and vocals is proven when it can reach the far far away balearic sea’s sounds. You know, because of the whole balearic disco genre that this supposedly belongs to. And who else than the master of balearic disco than KLar to treat us this beautifully served dish. When you can take such an overplayed and overmixed song like Gotye ’s STIUTK and produce such an enjoyable rendition that knows no situational-listening-rules, you deserve to get shared and spread around. I know this isn’t the first [...]

• Gotye ft. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used ... » 4ixh.mp3

What is it about a song that makes us feel an emotional connection? I love dissection of musical connections that we have. Associations, can be broken up into several categories. We can associate positively with a song, based on the atmosphere we're in and the people that surround us when we first encounter the song. Maybe the mental place we're in, too. Or perhaps someone we love, hate, envy, showed us the song. These are really amazing associations to have. Sometimes the song can bring extreme disappointment, too. Like, as much as I love  Gotye  with every fiber of my [...]

• First Aid Kit - Winter Is All Over (Baauer Remix)

Filed under: News , Exclusive Universal Republic Gotye 's Wally De Backer admittedly has written no new songs since releasing last year's Making Mirrors . This isn't the singer-songwriter coasting on the success of his hit single "Somebody That I Used to Know," though. De Backer is, simply, not a very prolific writer. "I just don't write very much," De Backer tells Spinner. "It takes a lot for me to go, 'This is [...]

For those who've yet to witness it's excellence: And here a link to Kutiman 's Thru-You project - which inspired Gotye 's YouTube Orchestra - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =tprMEs-zfQA‬

The slow, rhythmic buildup and big payoff of Gotye’s hit song “Somebody That I Used To Know” could be considered an apt musical metaphor for the Belgian-born, Australian singer’s rocket-powered rise to international notoriety during the past year. The second single from the excellent Making Mirrors was released in Australia and New Zealand in July [...]

Reluctant as I was to add to the mountain of interpretations of  Somebody That I Used To Know  out there online, I couldn't resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered. Gotye (via blog) Creator of arguably the biggest global hit of the last year, Gotye has tried his hand at YouTube remixing. A sort of visual mashup, this very contemporary artform takes snippets of music uploaded [...]

New York producer dBerrie is back once again. His latest effort comes in the form of a signature progressive rework of Passion Pit's single Take a Walk and it is nothing short of exceptional. Staying true to his style, this remix properly retains the overall feel of the popular original with its smooth vocal build-ups while simultaneously transforming it into an absolute crowd-pleasing anthem at the drop. Another one of those tracks that simply keeps getting better every time you play it. Enjoy! CLICK TO DOWNLOAD More [...]

Here's one for all you guitar geeks/afficionados out there - UK 'fingerstyle guitarist' Mike Dawes ' solo arrangement of Gotye 's tune, Somebody That I Use To Know - played without any overdubs: Impressive eh?

Seguramente la hayas escuchado unas cuantas veces, quieras o no. “Somebody That I Used To Know” es una canción tan buena que, con un éxito increíble , ha llegado a sonar a todas horas en las principales emisoras, y a ser número uno en un mercado tan difícil como el de Estados Unidos, donde en sólo una semana vendió 542.000 copias. Se trata de uno de los temas incluidos en el aclamado (en parte por el propio tema) tercer trabajo de los belga-australianos Gotye , que por cierto ya han hablado de [...]

That's right... that song is set to be rinsed even further with 10 official remixes! The single "Somebody That I Used To Know", has carved lines through most every popular music chart across the globe and will be edited, jigged and re-worked by various sonic producers from post-dubstepper Gang Colours to trance king Tiesto . A few gems have also been included with New Zealands Dan Aux and Stoney favourite Miami Nights 1984 making the cut. So does Wally still enjoy the song? [...]

The best thing about writing for L.A. RECORD is having cool friends who do some fucked up, weird shit. I'm talking "no compelling reason, no immediate gain, multiple-hours-of-effort-and-m aybe-only-five-people-will-car e-or-maybe-50003 type shit. And I love it. I also love interviewing huge bands-Public Enemy, Primal Scream, Earl Scruggs-and being the first one to get the hot new album by, say, Best Coast, before it's even in stores. But I think it's even more a part of L.A. RECORD's mission statement to tell readers about the strange ones:  the bedroom recording wizards, the ones with greasepaint on their foreheads, the ones who [...]
