Blood Red Shoes

Alooooha!!

Today the new single of Blood Red Shoes: Light It Up!!
The new album is out on March 1st.

AND! They are coming to The Netherlands!
On Wednesday March 17th, they will come to Paradiso Amsterdam.
Soooooo, who wants to come with me??
(To watch them from a distance at the balcony, I will not stand up front for this one again. Their show at Lowlands 2008 was not a succes, it was scary and painfull.)


HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!! LIGHT IT UP!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Hellloooooooo!

Today is a very special day! It's my BIRTHDAY!!
As from today, I am no longer a teenager. I am 20 years old!

Now, moving on.
Last Saturday I went to Local Natives at Tivoli de Helling in Utrecht.
With my cousin Lisanne, for FREE. You see, I'd won tickets at 3voor12!
So hereby, thank you 3voor12!
They we're reaaaally good and I have bought their cd Gorilla Manor AND all bandmembers have signed it! Yeeeah!

Sooo.
Other news: Róisín's single Momma's Place is doing VERY well in all kinds of charts and many people are buying it and loving it, yeaay!
But.
She is being happy with her daughter on the Irish Countryside, while saying:
I am not working on an album yet.
...... that means: no album in 2010 and no tour.....
grrrr
Oh well, we'll see about that, 2010 has only just begun.

Other news about the single, it has a really cool remix on it, Kanji's Kinetic Remix.
It starts as any other remix, the same song, only with a louder beat on it. You know how it goes.
This one is different though, IT'S GOT CRAZY SOUNDS IN IT!!
And THAT's coool.
Here you go:



Ehm, I think that's it. Nothing further, your honor.

Local Natives

Heelllloooo!

Time for some band music now!
Time for... Local Natives!
It's a real Indie band, which I normally don't like. Except for Fleet Foxes, but that's because they are magical. So.
Local Natives are from California and they have funny moustaches that are so lame that it's cool.
Oor and 3voor12 and I believe this band could become very big.
They have been compared to Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend. I don't like those bands.
But! Also to Fleet Foxes and that I get, since like Fleet Foxes, they sing in harmony sooo beautifully. Only difference is the bass and the supercool drums in Local Natives.
Oh and instead of long beards like Fleet Foxes, they have the weird moustaches.
Here's a live recording (in case you've missed it: I like live recordings!) at a radiostation's studio in Seattle. The song is called Sun Hands.
You might think: dude, this is boring! But then... there's a cool chorus and later... there's power!


Aaah, you thought that was a pretty song??
Nothing compared to this one....
(It's about the singer's grief for his grandfather that died. Ahhh, sad eey!)

Buraka Som Sistema!

Alooha!

Today it's time for (one of...) my favourite song from this summer!
I saw these guys at the Lowlands festival last year and they were soo awesome!
So: Buraka Som Sistema are from Portugal, but somehow they always talk about Angola, so they might originally be from Angola. Whatever. They consist of about 3 rappers, some band-members that do the 'music' and guest vocals. Oh, and at live shows there is a dancer-chick as well that ehm dances while wearing very little clothes. Naturally.

This song is Sound Of Kuduro, which is about Kuduro (duh), a style of dance that is apparently very popular in Angola and also very difficult. You can see it in the video, it looks really cool in the video.
Guest vocals on this song are from the amazing.... M.I.A.!!!
Oh how I love that girl!
She is the one singing the chorus and some other things.
And she's the one that 'discovered' Buraka.

Enough of my talking, here's the song:

Róisín Murphy

Heellooo!

It's been a while, but today I would like to share the new (ly leaked...) remix of Momma's Place, Róisín Murphy's new single. Well, not a real single, since there's no album, but it's a new song.
Official release is on January 18th via AWAL, as soon as it's on I will put a link here.
But for now, enjoy the remix and the original here.

Momma's Place is a real banger! As expected nothing like Ruby Blue or Overpowered, though.
But then again, that's what we love about Róisín. This time it's true electro-house, with power.

New Sound of 2010

Aloooha!

From now on, I'll try to put on a musical artist I believe the whole world (read: YOU) should know about! Now, for the beginning of this brilliant new year, this will be new artists. Preferably.

And for today... that artist is...
Animal Collective!! Yay!

I know they are not that new and upcoming anymore, but they are to me and most likely a lot of other people as well.
Here my favourite song of them right now:
Summertime Clothes
It really does have that exciting summerfeel to it, that makes you want to go out and do something or go somewhere.
Oh and check out the video! Oh, how I love a band that understands the importance of Visuals and Presentation. Brilliant!



Sooo guess what? There's more!
Here we have My Girls, a lovely song that has been played on several radiostations and is the song that caught my ehm ear in the first place:



Okay, that's it for today!
I hope you like it, if not... well, I do.
