Reign Over Me

Reign Over Me is a 2007 drama film written and directed by Mike Binder. The film stars Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith, Liv Tyler, Donald Sutherland, Saffron Burrows and Binder himself. The reason of being my favorite film is close and striking role of Adam Sandler. A good film, but it also features modern tunes, original soundtrack written by Rolfe Kent. You can some famous tunes in the movie at times. The title of the film comes from the song "Love, Reign o'er Me" by The Who. The song appears on the film's soundtrack along with a cover version recorded specifically for the film by Pearl Jam. Also, the song that plays in the trailer on TV is Ashes by UK band Embrace.

Puressence - Dont Forget To Remember

2007 release of the band's fourth studio album that was recorded at Revolution Studios in their hometown of Manchester, England. The sessions were produced by Andy Macpherson. Dont Forget To Remember seemed a strong record on first listen, then i discovered my admiration because of a new song of them. The song is called "Don't Know Any Better," what a strong tune, isn't it. By the way, it calls a song by Morrissey "Let Me Kiss You" from his You Are the Quarry record. I'd want to say good things for the rest of Dont Forget To Remember, unfortunately
it ain't bad or good.

Dave Gahan's Hourglass

Honestly, yes i liked the new Dave Gahan single, Kingdom. His new solo record is another crap record for me like his previous solo, and the album is more electronic than Paper Monsters. I want be clear i've no problem with its producing, electronic beats, but it's totally exhausting record, this is clear it can't be good electronic record. I'm with previous Depeche Mode songs, no more Dave Gahan solo records. "Kingdom", "Down" and another track from the new record "Use You" are cool. What was that? Hourglass is near industrial craps, Dave's tired, i tired, you don't need to be tired. 21 Days destructed all of my dreams and Miracles fucked me all around, a quite spiritless record. Hourglass is scheduled to be released on October 22, 2007 in Europe, and October 23, 2007 in the US.

Tracklist:
01 - Saw Something
02 - Kingdom
03 - Deeper and Deeper
04 - 21 Days
05 - Miracles
06 - Use You
07- Insoluble
08 - Endless
09 - A Little Lie
10 - Down

Favorite songs for autumn

1. Cocteau Twins - Musette And Drums
One of the most flawless Cocteau piece, actually you can say every Cocteau Twins song is flawless. This timeless band, this timeless vocals of Elizabeth and her ex-Husband Robin Guthrie's dark guitar, oh no this band is truly timeless.

2. Bob Mould - Wishing Well
As being member one of the most influential American band Husker Du, Bob Mould has also released couple of great solo records. This is from acoustic nature of Bob Mould's first solo album, Workbook. A perfect tune for autumns.

3. Elliott Smith - Alameda
Do not get me wrong, Elliott Smith can be listened on every season, but, particularly i love Alameda, its nature and its simple beauty. Elliott Smith is the main indie icon of 90s, that's why his every record sounds perfect, there is nothing crap.

4. Mojave 3 - Got My Sunshine
I promised myself not doing complains about why some great songs or records couldn't make any success, but i give my word, Mojave 3 is one of a kind band (of course after Slowdive). After listening this brooding love torch, you'll thank to me(i hope).

5. Inspiral Carpets - Move
This is again successful but underrated at the same time. You should check their Life album which was a great found for me at the first listening. Life is still precious record to me, and i share one of my fav. cut with you.

6. Nico - All That Is My Own

7. Brian Eno - Golden Hours

8. Lambchop - Life's little tragedy

9. Antony And The Johnsons - Fistful Of Love (with Lou Reed)
No doubt, Antony And The Johnsons is the best thing after Lou Reed, Soft Cell, Jeff Buckley and Bryan Ferry. Be careful with that, these are quite important names.

10. Final Fantasy - Many Lives - 49 MP

I'm ending up the list with an amazing live video of Musette And Drums, this performance by Cocteau Twins was recorded live on TV in the UK in late 1983. I hope you liked the new layout.

Best New Music Singles

New Singles
1. Dave Gahan - Kingdom
The official promo video for "Kingdom" by Dave Gahan. Taken from the album 'Hourglass'. Directed by Jaron Albertin. I'm not a diehard Depeche Mode fan but Dave Gahan's those charismatic and pretty jackets. The previous and his first solo record Paper Monsters (2003) was a little shitty record. I hope this new album "Hourglass" will be good, so Kingdom's melody and video both sound pretty amazing. Lights are everywhere, in garage, in houses, even in Dave Gahan's mouth!


2. Super Furry Animals - Run-Away
SFA comes with totally 80s style video, and this song is very similar to any Pulp songs. It's one of the best singles of this year, don't miss this!


3. Katie Melua – If You Were A Sailboat
The video for Katie Melua's new single, filmed in Prague and directed by Babanuki. 'If You Were A Sailboat' is released on September 24th, from the forthcoming album 'Pictures' released on October 1st.


4. Les Savy Fav - What Wolves Would Do

5. Ali Campbell – Hold Me Tight
Running Free', the new album from UB40's frontman Ali Campbell, is a reggae-soul-pop tour de force. [Youtube Video]

6. Stereophonics – It Means Nothing
I wonder why Stereophonics have turned to this very boring British band.

7. Annie Lennox – Dark Road

8. Puppini Sisters – Spooky
Rough cut of the new video from the Puppini Sisters for their brilliant cover of Dusty Springfield's 'Spooky', created by the video stalwarts at Fold7, from the Sisters new album The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo. [Youtube Video]

9. Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

10. James Blunt - 1973

90s Romantic Songs

Part 1
I believe that a music blog should let the readers know about unspotted talents, don't think that a small post can do anything about this. I know everytime i write about these songs, there is someone out there to listen them.

Silver Jews - Ballad of reverend War Character
I can't tell how beautiful this song is, just listen to it. It's very simple and incredibly romantic and dramatic. I like the songs which remind us our feelings, that's great!

Nico - You Forgot To Answer
The song is from Hanging Gardens 1990, i'm not tired of saying Nico's amazing talent on this blog. This is gloomy more than anything you can listen if you also read about her life, her death. This version of You Forgot To Answer is the most pathetic, reminds you there is always someone there waits for your help. They say she sings this song for The Doors vocalist Jim Morrison.

Grant McLennan - Haven't I Been A Fool
He just wrote some amazing songs, but unfortunately he died last year. He was former member of The Go-Betweens which never achieved gold status even if the band was better then R.E.M. I don't know, i never believe to the words like 'You get what you deserve, If you work hard'. Because sometimes they just don't want to give that something you deserve.

Cranes - Shining Road
For me, Cranes was one of the most original lines of 90s, people don't want to support them, though. Powerful vocals, brilliant and dreamy music like driving car under city lights.

Cranes - Adoration
