Yo!

Apparently I've had a soft spot for fairly old tracks lately. Sometimes I download songs without ever giving them a listen and usually I let my iTunes run on shuffle. Today this song Yo! by Donovan came on. My eyes lit up and I realized that I had this old electro song. It's really pumping; Bass, strings and synths; the works. I'm making it available, download it.

Yo ! - Donovan

Some Al Green

Have any of you seen The Book of Eli lately?  Well, in the second scene, an awesome Al Green song is utilized and has inspired this post.

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart - AL Green

Breaks, Booze, and Hiatus?

For some strange reason, the conclusion of the 09 fall semester spurred a sudden dismissal of responsibility (including updating this blog) and commencement of some serious boozing. That's pretty much the theme of all my breaks from school. But now that's over and done with. It's time to keep this blog updated, I apologize. I've been constantly playing a song from a several years back by Arctic Monkeys (yeah, I get stuck in time traps) for the past week and a half. The song is titled, I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor. It's an awesome fast pace song for some serious head bobbing and thrashing. It can also be part of a great mash-up; just a message to the talented.

Where's my damn Jetpack!?

Scottish accents are fucking cool. You'll get your ear full with We Were Promised Jetpacks, the indie band from Glaslow, Scotland. Their resonance is comparable to some main stream bands like, Kings of Leon or The Fray (The Fray? haha I'm kidding). I listened to their single, It's Thunder and It's Lightning, and I was blown away. They have a strategic use of scaling guitar and drums; they add an adhering intensity to the lead singer, Adam Thompson's vocals. The rest of the band is comprised of, Michael Palmer (Guitar), Sean Smith (Bass) and Darren Lackie (Drums) and they released their debut album, These Four Walls, on June 15, 2009. I haven't Listened to the rest of the album as of yet, but by the sound of this single, they're a band to pay regard. But that's just me. Let me know what you think.

Harry Potter and an order of Phoenix

Yeah they aren't the greatest band to jump around and bash your head into something at parties, but they are still a fun band to listen to. But these Frenchmen are really good. They have that Rock n roll/pop sound I love where they mix strings and percussion along with a drum machine and a synthesizer what better combination of sounds then that?

They played there single 1901 on David Letterman.
And I found some pretty cool remixes also, even though their music doesn't need a remix to be good The some originals are better.

They where here, somewhere, in the city last month and I am pretty disappointed that I missed them
