Fake Blood Remixes Noah and the Whale

fakeblood.mp3

I can’t say if Noah and the Whale’s L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N benefited being remixed by Fake Blood. The remix takes the song in a completely different direction. I need to understand more about Fake Blood to determine what that direction could be. Check out the original then let me know how Fake Blood got to where they did sonically.

Last Day On Earth will be released March 7th, 2011

Paucity of Worthy New Releases, but…

There has been a dearth of notable new release on my radar as of late. However here are a few links to some things I do look forward to hearing.

Toro Y Moi  – Underneath The Pine

Releases February 22 but you can stream the entire lp at urban outfitters now here. Like Destroyer’s “Kaputt”  indie rock has started getting smoothed out, groovy and leaving a little something for the ladies.

Oh Snap! here is the official video for ” New Beat”

Gil Scott Heron and Jaime XX “We’re New Here”

released February 21 via XL recordings. You can stream that now  *with your smart phone ( by jumping through some hoops) here

I’m From Barcelona – “Get In Line”

I'm From Barcelona - Get In Line

How is it possible to record 27 members in one band? Apparently over two sessions in some town called Gothenburg and Varberg ( both sound made up ) , but so does the playful sound of I’m From Barcelona”

According to the hoards leader Emanuel Lundgren “Forever Today” is about the ups and downs of twenty-something people sharing a small space and a big dream.  Okay.

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
