The two chimneys belch smoke and the ICI building’s shrouded in smog as I try to start dad’s old Ford Anglia on the morning of the interview. The engine turns over several times before the spark fires; a cloud of exhaust from the back. The grimy terraces are still festooned with red, white and blue after the Jubilee celebrations and parties.
Mum’s getting ready for another day, tying her headscarf. ‘I wish you’d had a haircut; and allowed me to sew that badge on properly. It’s not straight is it?’ She shakes her head. ‘Put your headlights on then. Have you checked the oil?’…
I’ll be honest, back in 2013 when Hozier put out his self-titled (and only) album, I was turned off by how just how big Take Me To Church got; boy was I missing out. Every single song on this record is incredible, and his voice has an intimate grit to it. If you haven’t really listened to it, you need to right now.
This week we have “Pretty Pimpin” from the incomparable “Kurt Vile” former guitarist for “The War on Drugs”.
I first heard this a few years back ,out on the road, and just loved the Indie/roots flavour it has going on, but it was actually the lyric that got me and reminded me of “Paul Kelly’s” “Look so Fine but Feel so Low” so don’t be fooled by it’s catchy facade…
From the Listen without Prejudice album, George Michael’s Freedom ’90 tells a story of breaking free from a way of thinking, a way of being. This freedom is true, he must make his own choices and, be his priority. Beautiful inside and out, we are all better for him being in the world, for he followed his heart.
Miami Vice is back!!! I mean c’mon, this guy is simply a genius!! It could be Tron meets Nightrider or something, however
I can totally see myself riding a futuristic motorcycle in the neon lights of the city and be an agent on the hunt for… well, that is in your phantasy to decide, but mine is huge in this case and the lust for a nightly adventure is simply of the charts!!
The sound feels a bit like in the good old 1980’s, when love was so much simpler, ha ha. This is one of my favorite ‘Empire Of The Sun’ songs, it’s so romantic, melancholic and dramatic – a couple is fighting, and he tries to get her back. It feels almost like when Prince was trying to get his girl back in Purple Rain and I mean, which women doesn’t want that?!
When you are with Grimes, especially with this track, you are in the world of the etheric, the phantasy, of beauty, of fairytales, of the other spheres and also – of gaming. The sound is dramatic, girly and yet so strong.
Éste es un tema muy especial, se trata de “Cuantos Pasos” de Zurdok, un grupo Mexicano que empezó en 1997 de manera independiente llegando a las listas principales en 1999 debutando con su álbum “Hombre Sintetizador” para mi y para muchos adolescentes fue casi como un himno que nos emocionaba cantar en la secundaria,…
Guillotina es una banda Mexicana de Rock Alternativo y Grunge que inició en la década de los 90’s, muchos fueron testigos de verlos tocar en vivo en sus inicios, en aquel entonces era 1998 y ya tenían un video musical, yo había escuchado su nombre hasta que fui a una tienda de discos y encontré su álbum (Mientras El Resto Sigue)…
Una clásica canción de Rock de Joe Cocker, es un ejemplo de como siguió sus sueños cantando por 8 años en Clubs y Bares en las noches mientras trabajaba durante el día como instalador de gas en Inglaterra hasta llegar a las personas correctas llegando a tener una presentación en un programa de Televisión en los Estados Unidos de América.
Cuando escuché ésta canción me sorprendí al notar un ligero toque de los 90’s, seguidamente escuché mas temas de Anna Straker y descubrí que se trataba de una chica Londinense con mucha actitud y estilo que en sus canciones combina un suave R&B y a su vez un poco de Rap sobre melodías electrónicas completamente producidas por ella misma, verla tocar en vivo debe ser algo grandioso!
I have to admit that I am a real sucker for this track! It reminds me of my times in London, where I was diving into the musical scene and discovering the variety that this great city has to offer. The sound has a real club music vibe to it and is so typical for the London sound, which I really love! It’s so damn sexy and who doesn’t love sexy songs?! The vid fits perfectly into all that…
