Parade – Vinai

29 August 2018

This week’s entry is short and sweet as we gear up for something special coming into September, but don’t let the brevity fool you – this track will blow your socks clean off!…

Gypsy Love – Light In Babylon

29 August 2018

The core trio of the band (vocals and percussion: Michal Elia Kamal, santour: Metehan Çifçi, guitar: Julien Demarque) met in 2010, in İstanbul. They started their music career performing on the street, mainly on the famous İstiklal Avenue of İstanbul. After that, Stuart Dickson and Jack Butler joined as support to their stage performances…

Destiny – EDWN

29 August 2018

This track is awesome because on display are, bars, cunning punchlines, a great beat, and great wordplay which is so rare nowadays….

Who Else – Social Club Misfits

29 August 2018

The cover art made me fall in love with the track even before I listened to it and I’m not even going to be pretend to be ashamed about it…Haha!…

The Last American – Ryan Culwell

28 August 2018

“All great change in America begins at the dinner table.”
–    President Ronald Reagan

And yet, talking to those closest to us can sometimes be very arduous, if not downright impossible…

Alone Again Or – Love

28 August 2018

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t have a copy of the seminal psychedelic album, “Forever Changes” released first in 1967? Maybe it’s passed you by; if so, then this song should give you a flavour of what to expect with its gentle guitars, harmonies and orchestration…

Part 38 – Given Circumstances

28 August 2018

The White Horse Hotel, where I’m to meet Miss Dazzle, is on the outskirts of town. It has rooms, and a reputation for decent food. ‘Reassuringly expensive,’ says Biggles.

I’ve taken a ridiculous time getting ready, changing in and out of clothes, staring at myself in the mirror, before getting a grip. Does it matter what I wear? Why not just be myself? Like I said I would be. And just what am I expecting – hoping? – to happen? In truth, I’ve stopped pining for her. Barely give her a thought.

 And yet…over the past few days…

You Go to My Head – Billie Holiday

27 August 2018

There is some irony in the fact that a track titled You Go to My Head comes from an album called Solitude. But Billie Holiday herself is a remarkable impersonation of ironies: a life as harsh and difficult as her’s was, gave birth to a wonderfully beautiful singer whose music is still remembered as the finest jazz ever produced…

Girl – The Internet

27 August 2018

There’s a cosmic feel to this music, it’s amazing. I discovered it a couple of weeks ago and can’t get over it. I think it comes specially from those four notes that keep repeating themselves on the beat, they are just special, then the bass explodes and the feeling you get is amazing…

Death of a Hero – Alec Benjamin

27 August 2018

“I tried to look away but you can’t look away from a train wreck.” For pop artist Alec Benjamin, the train wreck is disappointment – the “Death of a Hero.” The source of Benjamin’s disappointment is discovering the ‘true colors’ of someone he once idolized. The Phoenix, Arizona singer/songwriter uses “Death of a Hero” to express his feelings – a way of atoning for the ‘death’ he’s experienced…

Cave Man – Chris Smither

27 August 2018

How does wisdom come to us? How do we become, wise?

We are so many versions of ourselves in a lifetime. Can we see each version and honour it, thank it and move on?  Knowing that each version brought us to here and now, knowing that we did the best we could at the time, and if we didn’t we learnt from it…

BANG! – Trippie Redd

27 August 2018

This track is from Trippie Redd’s new album “Life’s a Trip”. With amazing vocals reminiscent of 2000’s punk and “screamo”, if you can call it that, the track has made it onto the list as the track of the week.
