Was There Anything I Could Do? – The Go-Betweens

14 December 2017

Even if they never really got the recognition they deserved, the Australian Go-Betweens are simply one of the best rock groups of all time. As their fans know, they recorded many great songs during their career but the reason why I keep returning  to “Was There Anything I Could Do?” so very often is because it’s not just one their best songs; it’s one of the best pop/rock tracks out there – and what’s more, it’s timeless.

Shake Me Down – Broken Witt Rebels

14 December 2017

Released in 2017, this song really helped the band Broken Witt Rebels hit the charts and increase their presence as a true kick ass blues/soul rock band.

Come a Little Closer – Cage The Elephant

14 December 2017

This song was released as the first single from Cage the Elephant’s third album, Melophobia. “I wrote the verse at the airport, inspired by the thought of things appearing different at first and then seeing them in a new light,” Shultz continued…

Way It Goes – Hippo Campus

14 December 2017

  Melodic verse and catchy hook with a chorus you can sing and dance all night to. This song embodies an easy going ‘driving down the west coast with the sunset in the background’ vibe.

Keep Going – The Revivalists

14 December 2017

This song has scat singing in it. Need I say any more? 

It starts out with a cool piano and soulful vocals. Before you know it, you are sucked into the catchy beat as soon as the drums drop in. With a powerful horn section, scratchy guitars, and amazing vocals. David Shaw (lead singer) can really belt it.

Gimme All Your Love – Alabama Shakes

14 December 2017

Right from the beginning, this song will grab your attention. Strong to soft in the blink of an eye, yet it all feels so right. Brittany Howard’s vocals are one of a kind and are truly out of this world. 

The combination of organ/keys with the powerful vocals is something that few bands can really harness, and the Alabama Shakes are one of them. 

Evren Bozması – Büyük Ev Ablukada

13 December 2017

2017’yi yavaş yavaş geride bırakırken, FIRTINAYT için bu yılın en başarılı Türkçe albümü demek çok da yanlış olmaz. Artık kendini tamamiyle ispatlamış bir topluluk Büyük Ev Ablukada. Her yerinden orijinal bir şeyler çıkan dolu dolu bir albümle ve peşi sıra konserlerle çok iyi bir yıl geçirdiler. Şovları da dinleyiciyi şimdiye kadar oldukça tatmin etmiş gözüküyor.

Turtle Soup – Wagon Christ Mix – DJ Food

13 December 2017

Ever heard of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon?  You know what it is even if you didn’t know what it was called – it’s the thing where someone mentions a type of car and suddenly you see that type of car everywhere.  It’s the frequency illusion and it’s really cool – you can read a better summary of it here.

Antartica II – Prince Jelleh

13 December 2017

Sometimes grief is debilitating – it takes away from you – your hope, your desire, your demeanor – and yet sometimes – it fills you with an energy that you just have to express.  We’ve all been there – shouting at people who don’t deserve it (particularly ourselves!) driving too quickly or barely stopping before we put a fist through the wall.  And yet – so long as we don’t actually hurt anybody – I’m a huge fan of this kind of energy.

How Long – Ace

12 December 2017

“How Long” by 1970s British rock group Ace was the band’s highest charting hit, reaching #3 in the U.S. It had a slow, smoky groove like another Brit band hit, the Climax Blues Band’s “Couldn’t Get It Right.” It’s been kept alive not only by frequent airplay, but by a plethora of covers. From soul songster Bobby Womack to country chanteusse Barbara Mandrell to rock royalty Rod Stewart. The song lends itself to a voice that’s rough like sandpaper, yet smooth as satin. All of the notable covers do it justice, but Ace’s version remains ace.

Hallelujah – Brian Crain

12 December 2017

“The forth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift” and yes, this probably is half of the magic in this track, probably, one of the most covered songs in the world. The melody is haunting, simple, soothing, relaxing, but at the same time powerful. Can talk directly to your soul.

Nerve – Jordan Rakei

12 December 2017

Emocionado de escuchar a un cantante y multi-instrumentista a la vez, descubrí al gran Jordan Rakei a través de las series acústicas “Mahogany Sessions” tocando un tema llamado “Nerve” a capela y con un par de coristas, transmitiendo un sonido muy limpio y puro, sin necesidad de aumentar el volumen de su ejecución, me deje llevar inmediato por su sonido y en la parte del coro me perdí totalmente en la melodía!
