La Sera.

The next song is from La Sera’s forthcoming album, Sees The Light (Hardly Art), due out on March 24th.
If you don’t know the master of all La Sera things and Vivian Girls’ bassist is Katy Goodman (the girl in the video). The super-catchy trashy pop punk track now has a video to accompany it and I invite you to see it.

Pavement.

Brighten The Corners – the fourth studio album released by Pavement. One of my favorite 90′s albums from a great 90′s band. Great reissue these days. This reissue is filled with even more distortion hard to hear lyrics and sounds that make Pavement even more unique as they already are. I highly recommend this record to anyone who loves the time period and the music made therein.I’m so proud that I own a T-shirt with Pavement, so proud that sometimes I sleep with it. Yep, it’s true! Just ask my wife.

40. Classic Song.

40. The song appear on the U2 first album “War”. Part of Psalm 40 inspired Bono’s lyrics. The story of the song is interesting. “So then we had this slightly unusual piece of music and we said, ‘OK, what are we going to do with it?’ Bono said, ‘Let’s do a psalm.’ Opened up the bible and found Psalm 40. ‘This is it. Let’s do it.’ – said The Edge. One of my fave classic songs of the past millennium.
I will sing, sing a new song…..

Kimbra. Remixed.

If you’re in somehow “Saturday Dance Night Fever” we have a proposition for you. Kimbra remixed by Beni. This is the beats that can hook everyone on to the dance floor. Trust me. And don’t forget. Remixes always rules. Different perspectives always makes you see things better. Have a nice weekend, fella!

Grimes.

First of all, Claire Boucher records under the name Grimes. Second, there is something so intriguing about this haunting track, and her child-like vocals on it just kill me. It’s one of the most creative tracks I’ve heard in a while.The song introduce me in a world of chunky abrasive beat with an equally thick-set synth bass line. Massive! If 2012 is truly going to bring about the end of the world, Grimes could very well give the soundtrack.

Sex, Drugs & Rock’n'Roll.

“Sex, Drugs & Rock’n'roll” is a song and single by Ian Dury, an English rock and roll singer, lyricist, bandleader( Ian Dury and the Blockheads, who were one of the groups of the New Wave and Punk music era in the UK) and actor, who initially rose to fame during the late 1970′s. The single won critical acclaim. I’m not a big fan of the song, but somehow become a punk anthem.

But today I wanna to talk about something else. It’s called “Sex, Drugs & Rock’n'Roll”. Normally. But it’s about the movie. A biopic drama of a singer mentioned above, Ian Dury played by Andy Serkis, hit by a merciless diseas (polio), who makes superhuman efforts to be recognized and noticed in the world of music. A scene in which Dury revisits the hospital where he spent his childhood, coming face to face with a new generation of angry young outcasts, is quietly heartbreaking.
I didn’t feel anything desperate about this movie however, if you can’t go eccentric about a crippled rocker who was simply a genius on stage & as portrayed in this movie off stage, with his great poetic tongue, then when can you? Lovely. Give movie a chance! At least trailer.

Hoop Dreams.

“XCPR” is the infectious, short and sharp first release from the young boys “Hoop Dreams“. This band brings a haunted indie pop that’s earned them comparisons to The Cure and Joy Division.
Max from Hoop Dreams said XCPR comes from “cross country personal record”. I ran in high school, Jeff ran, a lot of our friends too. Right now my girlfriend’s brothers run and are really tearing it up. So all of that inspiration and motion just got pushed on into the song. Basically, it’s to get people moving fast: dancing, running, speeding down the road… Let’s take a look, then.

Porcelain Raft.

Porcelain Raft are set to release one of my most anticipated albums of  2012, titled “Strange Weekend“,  in a few weeks. He just freed a new track  which is a melodic gem, in his own style.   The track “Unless You Speak From Your Heart” is a mixture of glossy 80′s and sun-drenched 70′s. It’s amazing how far his sound has progressed, and I clearly think  that his first album  is poised to turn a lot of heads.

Neutral Milk Hotel.

From 1995 we’ll present you a tremendous song – “Snow Song” from Seattle “trash band” Neutral Milk Hotel. The song appeared on “Everything Is” EP.  Lyrics sent me directly into a heart-attack. Really.

“Cindy skips my trampoline
With toys and horns and bouncing things
And even the most silent must sing a song
Yes, even the silent they must sing a song of love
Oh, oh”

And then…a drumstick for count and one of the best fuzzy guitar riffs you are likely ever to hear kicks in. The singing in tongues style of Jeff Mangum (vocalist), that full, deep connection with his songs is quite amazing. Don’t you dare miss this glorious 1995 single.

sorry for the quality, I didn’t find anything else…
