"Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feather's on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feather's on my breath"
Hearing those lyrics reminds of the breathy otherworldly vocal by Elizabeth Fraser on Massive Attack's classic song "Teardrop." Her singing is seductive, understated and so beautiful. Why would anyone attempt to replicate the darkness and purity of "Teardrop?"
I just discovered this cover version by Elbow and it's so good, rumor has it that Mas... MORE

Elbow’s The Seldom Seen Kid shocked quite a few people when it was announced as the Mercury Prize winner as it beat out the likes of Burial’s Untrue and Radiohead’s In Rainbows. I really didn’t check out many albums on the Mercury shortlist for one reason or another. I didn’t like British Sea Power’s Do [...]

Don’t you think it is one of the most annoying questions to come under: Name three albums to take with you to a desert island? Yes, an utterly nightmare question for music buffs in particular. A never-ending anxiety state due to the fear of “being have to leave something out” with a broken heart. As much absurd this list making is, as much irresistible in the mean time. Me, that is why every now and then I can’t help getting lost within hundreds of records only to figure ... MORE

Concert Awards!

I've been thinking about this for a while. These lists are guaranteed to be updated and changed and totally messed around, but as of right now, here's how my concert experiences rank. I'd like to hear how yours rank too! TOP 5 CONCERTS!These are tough, and take a lot of thought, but I'm pretty set in this list so far. It hurts me a little bit that my favorite band did not make this list, despite having seen them twice. Little hint, Mr. Scott Anderson, don't get plastered... MORE

Life has been busy lately. Actually, no, scrap that. To be more precise: the preoccupations that make up my life have been intensely time-consuming lately. This is so because a lot of changes—professional and personal—has recently materialized. Some were self-imposed, most were beyond me. In any case, they all translate to major re-adjustment. All this would explain why I've been exhausted and grumpy lately. (Yes, exhausted and grumpy.) It's not exactly easy to deal w... MORE

I posted this list on the BAGeL Radio blog about a month ago, not sure why I failed to post it here, I bet some folks here would get a kick out of it and have similar lists of their own to share. This list would be different if I were to reconsider it in light of releases that have since arrived from Tilly & The Wall, Feral Children, mrandmrsmays, Darker My Love, Elephone, The Gang, Notwist, Sybris, Wolf Parade -- of the top of my head -- but I'm leaving it as it was or...
