N.A.S.A.- Money (ft. David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge & Z-Trip) (Link 2)‘The Spirit Of Apollo’ polarised opinion. Bitchfork gave out a ridiculous 1.6, whilst some said it was ‘the best album ever’. We don’t think it’s worthy of either title/bitch-slap.N.A.S.A. have already released 3 videos, and I am ashamed to say I [...]
KANYE WEST “Welcome To Heartbreak” Directed by NabilKanye West ft. Kid Cudi- Welcome To Heartbreak (Link 2)‘Welcome To Heartbreak’ was the perfect opening for ‘808’s & Heartbreak’. It was equal parts solemn and epic, included a great featuring spot from Kid Cudi, and was arguably the strongest song (lyrically) on the album.I’m disappointed the song [...]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Zero (Link 2)I thought Karen O was spending her time chilling with the N.A.S.A. crew, but that theory goes out of the window when you fire up ‘Zero’. All 4:27 of this song is perfect, and the general performance seems to come far too easily for this band. They really are on [...]
Lily Allen- I Could Say (Link 2)Lily Allen- Back To The Start (Link 2)It was always going to be a fantastic album. The early demos were fully formed, we were kept in the loop throughout the recording process and the artist was experimenting. ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’, Lily Allen’s second album, is a triumph. [...]
Before we get going again, let me introduce Michael. Truly gifted with words, extremely passionate about music, and a great addition to The Cold Cut. Expect to hear more on the expanding team very, very soon. Feedback is always appreciated. WillThe Maccabees- No Kind Words (Link 2)Welcome back, welcome back, The Maccabees. Some of [...]
Justin Timberlake- My Love (Diplo Remix) (Link 2)It’s nice to see James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem getting his dues. ‘Sound Of Silver’ was a brilliant album, one that capped off a long period of intense focus and finally brought his talent to the fore. In the last few weeks, his track ‘Someone Great’ (one of [...]
It’s really a peak time for music. I’ve managed to miss a couple of tracks completely, which gave me my first opportunity for a full ‘rundown’. Let me know what you think of the new format.Ciara ft. Justin Timberlake- Love and Sex and Marriage (Link 2)Ciara finally gets the tone right- her latest album ‘Fantasy [...]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Heads Will Roll (Link 2) [REMOVED]‘Zero’- the first single from Yeah Yeah Yeahs new album ‘It’s Blitz’- leaked last week, and the reaction on the web was really promising.To cement the fact that ‘It’s Blitz!’ will be one of, if not the best album of 2009, listen to another leaked track, ‘Heads [...]
Bat For Lashes- Glass (Link 2)First day back at school in the class of The Great English Eccentrics: at the front desks Wild Beasts are yodelling for attention with their hands in the air; at the back British Sea Power are tucking into their geography books and comparing notes on obscure birds; Patrick Wolf, swanning [...]
Black Eyed Peas- Boom Boom Pow (Link 2)UPDATE: Revised opinion. Beware, we have a serious grower here. ‘Boom Boom Pow’ is a really interesting song, but I still stand by the fact that 27 million records is not a figure relative to the bands talent.Black Eyed Peas have always been less hit, more miss. It’s [...]
That really didn’t sound as cool as it should have. I was imagining some kind of Captain Planet-esque effect when we (more on that in a second) all raised our hands and some kind of comic book character appeared. Alas, no, but we are fairly sure that a fantastic site will materialise.I have gone it [...]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Soft Shock*Limited downloads* REMOVED. Link takes you to the Hype MachineSo the Yeah Yeahs are back, and in style – they have quietly been evolving into a band of impressive range, and despite its crappy cover art (aren’t Art School bands supposed to turn out decent sleeves even when their music is [...]
Rihanna- Whipping My Hair (Link 2)*Image courtesy of ultimate-rihanna.com*We decided to withhold judgment of the Chris Brown-Ri Ri issue until all the facts were laid out. That was also due to the fact that neither were releasing new material, and this is a music site, after all.Rihanna’s new demo ‘Whipping My Hair’ surfaced last week, [...]
Delphic- Counterpoint (waiting for approval to post)- enjoy the video (below) for now.Delphic- This Momentary Monitor (Remix) (Link 2)And on the Sixth Day, God created Manchester.Manchester has rested on its laurels for a long time: it’s consistently proven the breeding-ground for the greatest bands that England has ever produced - count them: Joy Division, The [...]
Help, I’m Alive (Immuzikation B-ting Like a Hammer Remix) (Link 2)Oh wow. It’s 11:30 already? Bed calls to me, but I must keep going… we are on to a good thing I feel. I have to give a quick shout-out to my friend Alfredo, aka Immuzikation. His incredible mash-ups have been troubling the hype machine [...]
The Cold Cut, as you know it, is in the process of migrating.I've been keeping things on the down low for a while, but Blogger have been bugging me over my posts and its time that we parted ways. They have been a good home for me, but The Cold Cut needs to move on and become part of something bigger. That 'thing' is Be All/End All.It's my new website, you see. But before you get worried about t...
