I Just Want to Be Your Everything – Andy Gibb

23 May 2018

The Bee Gees were at the heart of the disco movement in the 70s and was comprised of brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin. However, the youngest Gibb brother, Andy, had his own time in the blazing hot spotlight as a teen heartthrob and disco king…

White Winter Hymnal – Fleet Foxes

23 May 2018

White Winter Hymnal starts so unassuming and innocent. Fleet Foxes’s signature harmonies pick up, making way for the percussions that are almost overwhelming–but of course in a good way. 

Awake My Soul – Mumford & Sons

23 May 2018

“Where you invest your love, you invest your life.” A lyric so beautiful that when I was 13, I bought a sweater with those words printed on. Did I truly understand the weight of those words? Highly doubt it. Do I now? I’ll probably never. At least not in this lifetime.

Warm On A Cold Night – Honne

22 May 2018

Éste fin de semana me dediqué a desconectarme del ritmo que estaba
llevando, hasta cierto punto atrasó mi publicación de la semana, pero
no importa, lo que cuenta es lo que en realidad amamos y que mejor que
sea a través de la música, el día de hoy viajaba de regreso a mi
ciudad natal, después de haber tenido un fin de semana muy agradable,
recordé que hace un par de años escuchaba una canción llamada “Warm On
A Cold Night” de un dueto llamado Honne,..

Bound to Happen – The Schwa

22 May 2018

I love it when I get song submissions I dig so much I’m compelled to check out the rest of the band’s work. If you’re like me and you love a funky classic rock vibe with hints of Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, and the Arctic Monkeys, be warned, listening to this song will prompt a deep dive through the band’s Soundcloud and Bandcamp pages.

There Is Nothing I Can Do – The Organ

22 May 2018

Sometimes you come across with little musical jewels that change your life a bit. The Organ is one of those for me, I hadn’t mentioned this in a long time but there’s a special place in my heart for people who introduced me to music I love…

A Short Obsession With Time – The People The Poet

22 May 2018

Time isn’t the main thing. It’s the only thing.

– Miles Davis

Indeed it is. And we will get to the importance of time in a little bit, while discussing The People The Poet’s excellent new album A Short Obsession With Time, but let’s first take a look at what I’ve written about the two singles preceding the new record:

Clarity – Ellipsis

22 May 2018

Long, long time ago in Mexico, I woke up on a beach in Puerto Vallarta. My head was hurting and I was nauseous. I had gone south of the border to have some fun, to take a break from my complex, draining life but instead, I had taken it upon myself to attempt to drown my sorrows in drink. And just like the old joke goes, the bastards had learned to swim…

Cambaz – Mor ve Ötesi

22 May 2018

Mor ve Ötesi (literally Purple and Beyond; a play on the word morötesi, meaning ultraviolet) is a Turkish alternative rock band from Istanbul. The classic sound of Turkish alternative rock can be heard in Mor ve Ötesi’s songs…

16 – Craig David

22 May 2018

From the album Following My Intuition, Craig David takes us down memory lane with a sort of remix to his hugely successful debut single ‘Fill me in’. This track is an amazing mashup with Jack U and Justin Bieber’s ‘where are u now’…I actually think of it as more of a perfect blend of both tracks than just a mash up.

Hot Blazing Sun – Quarters of Change

22 May 2018

This song has everything you are looking for. Somewhat of a Bob Marley, Blue Oyster Cult, and Dispatch in my opinion. The sound these guys are able to make it something not a lot of people can do. The groove is absolutely mesmerizing and sounds so good with just 2 guitars and bass, which keeps it simple and at the same time allows it to say so much.

Watch Over Me – Bernard Fanning

22 May 2018

Bernard Fanning, former frontman of the Australian multi award winning band Powderfinger, brings us this weeks heartfelt track, Watch Over Me, released on the Tea and Sympathy Album in 2006.  Bernard describes this as a hymn, inspired to write it after watching the funeral of Pope John Paul II. I don’t know if he is religious, but I know that I am not, we all listen with our own ear.
