Sometimes, it just takes a good bicycle ride to remind you how epic a song can be.For my exercise routine, I try to mix up running with long rides on the bicycle. It keeps me a bit more motivated, not doing the same thing over and over. However, they each need different musical accompaniment, IMHO. When I run, I need to keep my spirits up, since it's harder, so I keep the 2GB Nano stuffed full ...

Hailing from Manchester, England, it's hard to believe these guys have been kickin around in one form or another, since 1985, though as the actual band Doves since 1998. This tune is from their latest release. I found this to be the more compelling of the albums 11 tracks though I'm sure others will beg to differ.

It has been four years since Doves last album 'Some Cities' and finally here we are: their return. Their 'Kingdom Of Rust'. Jetstream strikes to life with an electronic heartbeat and Jez Williams' dreamy-yet-dark vocals as the blood. It drones, kicks, spikes, dips and impresses throughout; not only is it a good start to the album but it also raises intrigue as to what else they’re willing to br.

My favorite ever music video. A graceful and thought-provoking film that re-imagines the council estate (or if you're American, the Projects) as a prison. Sadly, as implied by the heart-thumpingly emotive song, that's not such a great leap to make.Director Lynne Ramsay (Morvern Caller, Ratcatcher) captures the estate kids evocatively, presenting their condition in a light rarely contemplated by...

..Doves (from Manchester, England)deliver a sound that could best be described as a soundtrack for life... A sweeping, majestic pop that has a trance-like quality to it... ..The song I uploaded is called SNOWDEN... and is right in their wheelhouse... majestic guitars and choruses from their third album, "Some Cities."....Pretty cool video... SKY STARTS FALLING.......and one of my favorites, SEA...

I just watched Doves' entire set from the proms and it was amazing. 10:03 and There Goes The Fear were my favorites, but this is the only one up on youtube so far. They performed with the London Bulgarian Choir.

In my experience, the most difficult show to review is the one embroiled in mediocrity. Luckily for me, Doves wasted no time creating a dense wall-to-wall melodic soundscape in the House of Blues: a perfect compliment to the massive scrim onto which clever Danny Boyle-like music videos danced for the duration of the concert. The best live acts let you know right from the get-go that you’re goi.
