To Glee or not to Glee? – The Permission and Use of Indie Music in Mainstream TV

May 9, 2012, 6:00am There Goes the Fear

'You Are the Quarry' had been called Morrissey 's comeback album in May 2004 after the much-maligned 'Maladjusted' released in 1997. Things were looking good for the Mozzer; the album was his highest charting album ever in America. Fast forward a couple months and I'm flipping through cable channels to find something interesting to watch and I hear a couple bars of something familiar. I look more closely at the television. It's the new MTV teen reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, and during what I'm guessing was supposed [...]

Top Ten Tuesday: Gotye featuring Kimbra "Somebody That I Used To Know"

Apr 24, 2012, 10:00am Appetite for Distraction

What I'm trying to do is hamstring myself by doing all the easy ones now. That way, I make it really hard when I have to decide whether I want to talk about Flo Rida or One Direction . Plus, I've been singing this all day and so it seems fitting to talk about it. Finally, you definitely know this song if you have listened to any of the past 10 or so countdowns (which, I'm kind of guessing you have?) So here's a Gotye smorgasbord. The original video: [...]

Gotye contro Glee per la cover di Somebody That I Used to Know

Apr 24, 2012, 3:36am soundsblog

Glee ha fatto la cover, nelle ultime puntate, del brano di successo di Gotye "Somebody That I Used to Know". Se il pubblico ha apprezzato, il diretto interessato no. Il cantante, il cui vero nome è Wally de Backer, ha raccontato di non essere proprio entusiasta del risultato finale ascoltato: "La vocalità era nello stile pop di Glee, ultra asciutto, sempre in una buona maniera uguale a se stessa e il rock non ha un vero senso. Era come se fosse cantato a te attraverso una scatola di cartone. E' stato fatto in maniera insignificante [...]

photo by Dan Mueller You've probably heard of his other projects:  Bright Eyes, Monsters of Folk, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band... but Desparecidos?!? It's been a while! Details on Oberst reuniting with his old punk/hardcore band for Nebraska's Maha Music Festival this August can be found here. Today, Wilco 's pivotal album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot celebrates its tenth anniversary. Not only did the album redefine the band for the rest of their current career, but the story behind [...]

Gotye Disses Glee

Apr 23, 2012, 4:50pm Stereogum

It may sound like something you might dig up on an early-'00s retro cocktail-lounge trip-hop compilation, but Gotye's " Somebody That I Used To Know " is still one of the more compulsively listenable Billboard #1 singles in recent memory. My finger definitely comes off the seek button when it comes on the radio. The song hit that chart peak, perhaps not coincidentally, the week after a couple of actors sang it on Glee . As it turns out, though, Gotye isn't too happy with the Glee version. Read More...

Gotye Not A Fan Of Glee’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” Cover

Apr 23, 2012, 2:45pm Pigeons and Planes

"In a way, after you've made a record, you've made it and everything else that happens feels like you are a bystander ... It is kind of surreal," Gotye told The Courier-Mail  of "Somebody That I Used To Know." When asked about the cover of his No. 1 hit that appeared on Glee , he didn't have many positive things to say. "They did such a faithful arrangement of the instrumentals, but the vocals were that pop  Glee  style, ultra dry, sounded pretty tuned, and the rock has no real [...]

Darren Criss And Matt Bomer Duet On ‘Glee’: Watch

Apr 3, 2012, 3:12pm Idolator

Though Glee had a tendency to shoot for fish in a barrel and cover #1 hits and major songs from some of music's biggest artists, it also acts as a launchpad for some lesser known acts. The show helped fun.'s "We Are Young" top the charts and gave Lykke Li's "I Follow Rivers" some airtime, and now we have Darren Criss and his on-screen brother (played Matt Bomer) perform Gotye's collaboration with Kimbra, "Somebody That I Used To Know." Watch below. The performance can be seen in the upcoming episode [...]
