So I may be a little late to the party again on this one as far as making a post, but there are people I know who still haven’t heard it and that is a damn shame. Haunting, beautiful and with such a delicate touch – Ingrid Michaelson breathes new life into this classic song.This [...]
If you’re not yet aware of the teen phenom Justin Bieber than you undoubtedly will be by the end of this week. The 15-year old pop/r&b singer just released his first album today called “My World†which follows up his release of four separate singles over the last five months. The first single “One Time†[...]
This is just too much fun to not share. Never have Metal and Motown sounded so fabulous together. The Miracles’ background vocals behind in the chorus are especially funny. Enjoy this Mash-up of Metallica “Enter Sandman†and The Miracles “Love Machine†by Endless Noise.
Just stumbled upon these videos today – absolutely brilliant concept by Dusto McNeato which has been picked up and carried on by many others. Here are two of my favorites. Click to see them after the jump
This week’s subject for New Music Monday comes with a familiar name but a deeper voice and a brand new album. Crosby Loggins, son of singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins (of solo fame and half of folk/rock duo Loggins and Messina) is releasing his first solo album titled “Time to Move†via Jive Records after his win [...]
Susan Boyle was at it again today with her performance of “Memories†from Cats that earned her a spot in the finals for Britain’s Got Talent. Boyle seemed much more serious and controlled this time around (if a bit nervous), perhaps because she now has something to lose, and she sang well overall and received [...]
"Learnalilgivinanlovin" is a funky pop tune that's an obvious throwback to '60s Motown which is probably why I love it so much. He's either sampling the Ronettes with the drums at the top or channeling them (and the Phil Spector "Wall of Sound") pretty heavily and purposefully. With a driving guitar riff, blasting horns and stacked vocals this track is huge and so much fun.
For this week’s Throwback Thursday we head back to 1972 for the Bill Withers classic “Use Me” off of his album Still Bill. I’m not sure when I first stumbled upon this song but it has been a favorite of mine for years and I never seem to get sick of it. Outside of the [...]
Nyle's live band version of "Let the Beat Build" - complete with vocalists, piano and of course banjo - has all of the raw energy of a stage performance and is totally mesmerizing. Even if you aren't a fan of hip-hop or rap music, you have to appreciate the production, planning and creative vision that went into this video that was all recorded in one continuous video and audio take.
Samberg and Timberlake strike again with SNL's latest digital short "Motherlover" that debuted this past Saturday in honor of Mother's Day. With A-list cameos (I won't spoil them) and an electronic club beat this is definitely the best song to come out of SNL since "Jizz in My Pants" and before that "Dick In A Box."
DJ Richie Hawtin may have just created something revolutionary for the ever-evolving relationship between Twitter and musicians. According to the Miami New Times Blog: “Richie Hawtin has announced his development of a new Twitter application which allows real-time broadcasting of track IDs during a DJ set. As minimal techno’s mad scientist of sorts, Hawtin has [...]
Music and love are never very far apart. Fran and Marlo Cowan have been married for 62 years and they’re still rocking and rolling. At 90 years old he’s still got the old routine down and is patting his girl on the butt like a cheeky 20 year old. Be prepared to smile.
