Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs

Wednesday, May 07, 2008

My favorite new record “Narrow Stairs” will arrive in stores and at all online retailers on May 13th. Produced by the member of band’s Chris Walla, “Narrow Stairs” will be preceded by the single, “I Will Possess Your Heart.” “I hope this album is a bit of a surprise for those out there that think they have us all figured out. We can’t wait to share these songs with the world,” states Death Cab bassist Nick Harmer. This sounds very good. (See full track listing below)

Fully atmospheric!

2. Scarlett Johansson - Falling Down
Sad ass Scarlett. I actually can't think of she's making dance music. These Tom Waits covers go well with her filmography.

5. Kylie Minogue - In My Arms [On youtube]

6. Chromeo - Fancy Footwork | youtube
A disco song usually draws your attention.

7. Animal Collective – Water Curses | youtube
Collectives get to be boring, acting same melodies, dull lyrics.

Another average album from Manchester based Charlatans.

Quiet Life - Act Natural

Quiet Life is also title of a Japan song from 80s, and that song was totally haunting. This band is quite far from David Sylvian's Japan, though. The United States based band's members are Sean Spellman, Ryan Spellman, Craig Rupert, Paul Dutton. Folk Rock and Indie Rock maybe sound very overal together. Actually, Folk rock is always a boring style with its lyrics or form. The band's debut "Act Natural" opens the scene pretty good, this first high flying song "Trying To Get Home" turn you on. Then, it becomes soul destroying. I don't know why i'm writing about for this band. Maybe it's because of some songs are full blooded here. Act Natural gives an slobbish impression at times. Or, I don't like Bright Eyes kind of music very much. If you consider four good track that i picked below, these are only energetic songs in the album.

MM picks: Trying To Get Home, Every Dime, Did You Love Me, Head in the Clouds
Rating: 7/10

Scarlett Johansson - Anywhere I Lay My Head

Look carefully to the cover of Scarlett Johansson's new album . You'll see too many times about this new great gloomy record on this blog. Everything has been so depressing featuring a lot of great Tom Waits tracks from Alice, Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Real Gone and Bone Machine. Especially cover of my personal favorite Tom Waits track Green grass by Scarlett Johansson is enormously delightful. You'll also hear Bowie on two tracks Falling down and Fannin' street. I've listened the whole album, but i won't put any mp3 tracks till the release date.
Listen the title track here.

ABC - Traffic

Wednesday, April 30, 2008


I've been listening to an original line-up of 80s, ABC! The new album comes with great twelve track, an effective record name, 80s style pop music. "TRAFFIC is 12 brand new songs, and in 2008 it's a real privilege to be able to compete after 25 years of making music," Martin Fly says. My first impression is "charming".

Stephen Duffy

Friday, April 25, 2008

Post of 80s' effect never ends on this blog. Spandau Ballet, Soft Cell, Modern English can be remarkable names having similarity with Stephen Duffy. Especially original synth pop sound, stupid, saucy lyrics like "Kiss me with your mouth.", touchy male voice are all up in the song Kiss Me. One of Stephen Duffy's the most colourful tracks, works to settle down to your memory. More you listen Kiss ME, more you'll love exploring his music.

Melvins - Houdini

My posts light your way pop to rock, r&b to soul, avant-garde to metal music. I don't like those categories, i only listen to music as if it's original without leaving the main idea. When it comes to your favorite records or bands, it's not easy to count all of them with less words. However i can say that Melvins is the most unique band makes me love black music, hard music, guitar solos and darkness. Houdini offers flawless play to your ears, it's not fulfilled with moanings like in some exhausting type of metal music that they call death metal, black metal. Goin' Blind which was written previously by Gene Simmons (of Kiss) is Houdini's keytrack with Honey Bucket and amazing closing track Spread Eagle Beagle. Do yourself a favor, and have Houdini!

Say Hi - The Wishes and the Glitch

Thursday, April 24, 2008

Once upon a time, there was an indie rock band named with Say Hi To Your Mom. Time after time, their name changed to Say Hi to say more hey to their listeners. That was not enough to make happy indie kids. They released a sweet record, The Wishes and the Glitch. The opening was good with Northwestern Girls and the following nice tune was Shakes Her Shoulders. You could expect more from this band. This album was loveable, but all of the indie music was boring in the end.

Just my silly opinions, The Wishes and the Glitch is pleasing! As always I'll post a standout song.

New Music

Saturday, April 19, 2008

My computer has broken down, and i couldn't post about any of those amazing new records. I've been listening to The Tiger Lillies' new cabaret shit Seven Deadly Sins, a very theatrical like previous Tiger Lillies albums. Have you ever heard about Firewater, a gypsy-like indie rock band! They wrote and recorded a new record [The Golden Hour] with the help of local musicians and other miscreants. Tamir Muskat (Firewater, Balkan Beat Box) produced it. You can watch about the singer of Firewater travel on youtube.

In Ghost Colours, most of you should hear about this record, a brand new Cut Copy record. It sound good, but it rapes lots of Human League, Lcd Soundsystem and Daft Punk. If you try to show me 80s music catalog again, i still prefer Boy George, Human League. Please please don't copy my favorite bands (crying!). Ok! Cut Copy's In Ghost Colours offers almost the most beautiful new indie thing.
Cut Copy - Lights And Music

M83 is another great thing that i've discovered recently. Noisy, powerful and experimental rock music. Let me die in your arms! From Saturdays = Youth record:
M83 - Kim & Jessie

And also i've listened a lot of The Smiths
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, But heaven knows I'm miserable now.

My Brightest Diamond - A Thousand Shark's Teeth

Sunday, April 13, 2008

I wanted to mention about A Thousand Shark's Teeth, but i hadn't enough time to listen to it. however the opener track "Inside A Boy" deserves a strong mention. Opener and first single “Inside A Boy” is classic Diamond, slippery guitars meet with gorgeous strings and Shara’s powerhouse voice. Meloncholy and Noise are in the same garden of music, you can like or not, but the guitar chords and sweetest vocal performance gets value for my ears. I want to sing with her everytime i play this song. Solid!

Ladytron - Velocifero

Velocifero definitely sounds like Ladytron. Danceable, sad and glittering. Velocifero has some electronic elements in the sound spinning around some Gary Numan, Human League and Kraftwerk. First six tracks are nearly the most sharp Ladytron works. After, it becomes darker, and it sounds quite good. If you look other indie pop, electronic combo from the year, Ladytron may be the only recognizable name. A standout piece of electronic pop song, Season Of Illusions summers that, this band won't stop releasing albums like 604, Light & Magic and Witching Hour. They're all great, and have enough power to break into mainstream music. Fantastic!

James - Hey Ma

Tuesday, April 08, 2008

OOOOOOooooooooo! tim booth tim booth. Dance of the bad angels. Booth. Hey Ma! Morrissey's ringleader of the tormenters was a big diss... for me. Hey Ma is the only hope to love britpop again. Where are songs like bittersweet symphony, girl afraid, laid? The songwriting is dead or i'm deaf? I want new The verve record, who will send it to me? Questions are going to stop? Boom boom. Moby, play that fuc*ing song for the last time. As you can see, writing reviews can be so depressing at times.

Music to Discover

Top 10 Indie

1. Young Rebel Goombas
This is not that much interesting, but i like their rebel choruses even if i'm not into Bob Marley's amazing sound. I wanna say that i'm deep love Pub rock, check out their Tonight and Summer Whine, they're all amazing, sexy songs. Saxophone power! The band's sound is best described as "Tropical Rock" - and eclectic mix of reggae and rock with a country overtones. It's Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley meets the Eagles, Billy Joel and Chicago.

2. The Drift
Ok, i'm a little impressed, no this is good very good. The song Invisible Cities, on which Intrumental music starts slowly with dark bass guitars, then it hearty touches to your ears, heart. Lovely! www.thedriftmusic.com
The Drift - Invisible Cities

3. Russian Vogue
I wasn't expect this crazy;) In Running out of Bullets anything goes right? I think Punk is over, thats what they told me. Good guitars, though.

4. Carolina Liar
Thanks for the email, this band sounds quite commercial, i listen commercial pop bands at times. They’ll be playing at Canada’s upcoming Pemberton Festival in July that’s being headlined by their Atlantic Records labelmates, Death Cab For Cutie, along with a killer line-up including Coldplay, NIN, Jay-Z and others. I'm Not Over sounds like The Killers tribute. www.carolinaliar.com.
Debut single - I'm Not Over

5. Evan Voytas
Marc Bolan? No it's only influence, and i think T-rex is the best choice when you need to say a name that could change your music completely.
Never My Love [MM pick!]
The Yellow World Of '83
We'd Be Good Together

6. Ready Fire Aim

A Brooklyn based electronic project gets attention by a good work "So Fine", you can check them like i did on their myspace. "So Fine (Remix)" circles around robotic effects all over.

7. The Young Sinclairs
British druggy pop or dream pop and shoegazing, i love these type of music. They told me that they play psyche pop:S
The Young Sinclairs - Cancelled Flight

Chart climbers this week

Sunday, April 06, 2008

1. Sam Sparro – Black & Gold
Sam Sparro is the best new single of week. I bet you like Black & Gold tune, sweet song, and also it's one of the best music video i've seen this year. I was reading his influences list which contains wide range of great names: Justice, The Avalanches, Portishead, Kraftwerk, Air, Amy Whinehouse, Serge Gainsbourg, Burt Bacharach, Kelis, Nina Simone, Steely Dan, MIA and check out his myspace page. He loves music!

2. Britney Spears - Break The Ice
Repeating Break the Ice, the song grabs my attention. Why? Because i love her. Break The Ice Video. Read my Blackout review.

3. Madonna [ft. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland] - 4 Minutes
Sex, music and dance!



4. Natasha Bedingfield feat Sean Kingston – Love Like This
Madonna and Timberlake's 4 Minutes can beat this, ya! This is more boring than new the hitest Madonna Justin collaboration. [Love Like This Video]

5. Isis - Holy tears
It seems a bit strange when a list comes with r&b and metal music at the same time. That's because you can find some worthy melody in any form of music. Holy tears is a great metal track.[ Holy Tears Video Youtube ]

6. Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction
I know this is not a brand new Dogg cut, i've discovered it recently. The song goes well on a monotone day.[ Sensual Seduction on Youtube ]

7. Foo Fighters - Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up is Running)

8. Scouting For Girls – Heartbeat
