now im on wordpress
bit of a spur of the moment decision
but it's offering me a better service and layout

new url is http://horrorshowtunez.wordpress.com

it might not look that good right now, it's amidst editing so bear with me

 

Was sent recently this track from a reasonably new indie two-piece, it's the lead single off of their forthcoming 2009 debut album. They're from Sweden, they're called the Sweet Serenades. It's really good, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the outcome if Abba decided to take an indie direction with their work. And that's not solely because of their shared port of origin, this music is genuinely up-beat and feelgood. It makes me very happy.




MP3: Mona Lee


Also thought that I'd post, on the subject of Sweden, about Lykke Li, she's someone I sort of ignored through 2008, now i have her album though, and upon first listening it's really good, if I had heard it earlier I might have included it in my best of year list. Well on first listen my favourite track is "Breaking It Up". the lyrical story of which I've ended up on the other side :/ but its a great song!

Lykke Li - Breaking It Up

She's also starred in the recent big triet with kanye west and santogold on the track "Gifted", it's pretty much on every blog, so not really much need to post it again, though you can find it here

 

My Top 10 Albums of 2008

DMCfuckingA!!!

I don't understand why they need to take down posts without notifying me first, i have a perfectly good disclaimer to my right. As it states, I would remove any track immeadiately. I have a sneaking suspicion of what caused it out of the ten tracks but i'm not going to be risky. I'm rather pissed off as it deleted all of my analytical musings as well!!

Here's my list but bereft of mp3s. I still want it up

10. Last Shadow Puppets - Age of the Understatement
9. Elbow - Seldom Seen Kid
8. Late of The Pier - Fantasy Black Channel
7. Kings of Leon - Only By The Night
6. Noah & The Whale - Peaceful the World Lays Me down
5. Foals - Antidotes
4. Bloc Party - Intimacy
3. Vampire Weekend - S/T
2. Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim
1. Girl Talk - Feed The Animals

 

remix

Posted In: , . By Nathan

I've been listening to a few good remixes recently, having a good dance about. I'm only going to post the one today though. One I was sent earlier that it is actually surprisingly goood. It is by a dj/remixer of the name "Death to the Throne" who sent me this in an email, its actually something good that has been sent. I have to admit his other tracks sort of fall short in comparison, no offence to the guy just this reworking of Chromeo's fancy footwork is actually one that does not diminish the songs quality.

here it is:
Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (Death To The Throne Remix)

be sure to check him out on MySpace:
