Mylo is pretty much the best maker of chillout dance music around. His album "Destroy rock and roll" is one of my favourite dance albums for sure, its an album to be listened to in the summer, chilling out in the sun. I am desperate to hear some new stuff, it has been 4 years since his first album!! ive been listening to him loads recently so thought id put up some stuff From the Album, Destroy Rock and Roll Mylo-Need You Tonite Mylo-Sunworshipper From the Live Lounge he did a few years ago Mylo-In My Arms (live lounge) Mylo-Sweet Child Of Mine A nice Winehouse remix, from her first album Amy Winehouse-Fuck me Pumps (Mylo remix)
it was an immense finale as usual. pretty sure they just filmed these endings as foilers, still, i thought it would be mr hume. interesting stuff here, about the physics of the island moving, im not sure how im going to wait until january for season 5 Read more...
not quite sure how locke has the time to just chill with jack when the island needs moving... keamys team vs the others
i used to hate the others so bad but now they are wicked michael, jin and dessie
in the helicopter
is sawyer gonna jump? :S locke and ben in the orchid
and saving the best till last...dan, charlotte and miles talking...looks like all those cs lewis references way back in confirmed dead weren't for no reason.... unfortunately, nowheeis letting me embed this, so go here brilliant Read more...
i am getting stupidly excited for friday now. part 1 was such a classic lost build up episode. the flashforwards were brilliant, every single one, especially sun cussing down mr paik (who is blates involved with widmore), she must have had some help in buying a share in the company (ben anyone?). also, although not sure just how claires mum is alive, thought the scene where she told jack was brilliant, he acted it pretty well, and when she said "your baby is beautiful" to kate, it was so goood!! of course the numbers turning up again was great, and the press conference, and nadia!! ah too much goodness. on the island, i loved the jack-sawyer team up, daniel finally actually helping the losties, the michael-jin-sun moment, dessie going crazy on the boat, ben just generally having a plan which is bound to be wicked, the return of the others!!! how reminiscent was that scene of "the hunting party" from season 2 when tom makes the classic speech "this is our island". i hope the others are headed for the orchid (pretty sure they are tbh) for a big showdown with keamys crew (even though the others have surely lost all of their best fighters; pickett, ryan, tom, mikhail, goodwin, ethan etc etc). i am convinced jin will die now, and im pretty sure michael will do some sort of heroics which will allow him to die, which would be realllly annoying. its so good trying to work out how the o6 will all come together, when they are in 4 different places (hurley with locke at the orchid, jack with sawyer headed for the orchid, kate and sayid kidnapped, aaron and sun on the boat) i have a really bad feeling that sawyer might die as well :S really hope not, he has been underused this series, and after the writers strike break he has been the best character for sure.
here is the trailer (no sneak peeks for this episode)
i knoooooow this much is true. classic cheesy 80s music. this has been sampled by nelly, backstreet boys, fleetwood mac, cary brothers, black eyed peas, amongst others, its a classic pop song from 1983, with lots of motown influences in there. it has appeared in the wedding singer, charlies angels, 50 first dates, not another teen movie, wedding crashers as well as shameless, the office, the simpsons, ugly betty, spaced, two pints...etc... Spandau Ballet-True
links are getting taken down pretty quickly, considering half of these songs were being given away free from their website...anyways here is a round up of what we have so far from the new coldplay album, released in the UK on the 12th of June, im pretty excited. The Violet Hill video is pretty special.
and bside Coldplay-A Spell A Rebel Yell also, they are set to tour the UK in December (arenas of course), i really hope they come to Sheffield, although i will definitely travel to Manchester if not!! and i thought i'd post a lovely live version of one of my favourtie Coldplay tracks, warning sign Coldplay-Warning Sign (Live Acoustic) *edit* for fucks sake!! links came down in 26 hours, that was quick. well they are going back up; one is a live recording, one is a bside you could only get if you bought the nme (and that was on vinyl), one is another bside, 2 are tracks that were given away FREE on coldplays website. incidentally, they announced a UK tour today which has made me (but not my bank balance) very happy, tickets on sale friday at half 9, dates here ok hotlinkfiles is being a twat, but ill get them back up by 10 tonight, thats a promise! mediafire links im afraid, but they're working Read more...
great news, lupe will be playing glastonbury on the jazz/world stage!! :D its gonna be amazing. ive been listening to the cool this morning, and it really is a great album, some of his lyrics are so clever, and his intonation is up there with jay-z. so i got quite excited about seeing him and uploaded quite a bit of stuff From 2006's Food and Liquor Lupe Fiasco-Sunshine From 2007/8's The Cool Lupe Fiasco-Hip Hop Saved My Life (feat. Nikki Jean) From Lupe the Jedi Mixtape Lupe Fiasco-Lu Yourself (rapping over Eminem's lose yourself)
last night was beyond amazing. academy is a great venue, milburn were so special. fantastic setlist (the above copy isnt mine lol). it was incredibly emotional, especially what about next time, the start of count to 10, rudiments!!!!, roll out the barrel and mostly what you could've won, which means so much to me its crazy. joe (carnall) was holding back the tears in wychw.
day 4 was late. here is day 5 from their stunning 2nd album, these are the facts, a great summery tune, being a rogue Milburn-Being a rogue Read more...
buy 17 now!! this is a bside to what you could've won, amazing Milburn-Fireworks click on the Farewell well well banner at the top of the screen... Read more...
on another note, we are scientists and last shadow puppets albums have really grown on me today!! last Shaodw puppets post in the works methinks... Read more...
Words cant describe just how good this album is. Written in a remote cabin within 3 months, the album combines beautiful chords with lyrical heartbreak making one of the contenders for album of the year already.... He sounds very similar to Iron and Wine (who is pretty goood) but 10 times better. He supported Iron and Wine on his recent UK tour, unfortunately i heard this album a week after they played leadmill...bad luck or what... anyway, here are a couple of tracks Bon Iver-Skinny love Bon Iver-Flume
This is definitely worth a buy!!
on another note, Santogold links will be back up within minutes :D Read more...
keep up the good work, download 17, it could realistically make the download chart tonight. day 3 in the series, and its definately one of my top 3 milburn songs, ehat you could've won. ive gone for the album version, although the demo is also amazing. Milburn-What You Could've Won if you dont know milburn, then this is a great song to get you started, and if you like it, download 17!! Read more...
Day 2 I am taking a chronoligical (ish) approach to the next 6 days of Milburn goodness... ...starting with an old demo about a friendly tramp in town..... Milburn-Parachute Pete (demo)
also, if you havent done yet, then download 17!! click on the banner at the top of this post for full instructions!! i bought it 4 times so far lol.
bon iver, rifles, and more death cab coming sooooon.... Read more...
As you probably already know, Milburn announced they were splitting in March, with 2 final gigs this week, the second at the new Academy in Sheffield this Saturday. To commemorate probably the most important band (ok maybe 2nd most) of my life, i will post a milburn song every day of the week. Milburn made amazing music, and with better promotion and media support they could have broken the charts, not that that was vitally important, most of the chart indie at the moment (pigeon detectives, ting tings, courteeners etc) are nothing on milburn. For one last effort to get the boys some recognition, many fans are downloading (legally) the bside 17 in an attempt to break the top40! come on you can spare 79p!! (click the picture below)
Old skool monday this week is therefore themed, on Milburn. and we go all the way back to may 29th 2005, from Milburn EP, the amazing lipstick lickin'.
i seriously dont know what im going to do without lost. cabin fever was outstanding, there are a million things i could write about but here are the things that excited me most; richard is back! (and locke met him pre-island-how did he not remember him?), matthew fucking abbadon (who is he working for?!-i no longer think its widmore, he has an agenda of his own), dharma link to widmore, even more hatred for bastard keamy (hes bound to die in the finale), christian shephard again!, "move the island", frank being a legend generally... as usual, fantastic recaps/analysis at DarkUfo
all 3 sneak peeks in one!! for part one of theres no place like home for some reason i cant embed it, sorry, but you can watch it here edit: fourth sneak peek (of the O6 on the tanker/plane?) so so good
"dramatic stories mixed with comedy like the first 2 or 3 seasons!!!" lmao at the janitor as well i actually think this season is gonna be really good! dont know why just got a good feeling despite the shitness of season 7... Read more...
the first time old skool monday has gone for full on cheesy r&b, back in the days when usher made good pop songs!! "Pop Ya Collar" is a 2001 single from Usher's leaked 2001 unofficial album All About U, which was later put on some editions of his official studio album that year, called 8701. It reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart. It was inspired by the upturned collar, and helped make the term "popped collar" a popular culture "buzzword". Saw a bit of his set from one big weekend, looked a bit crap really, but lets not put a downer on things, he has had many good pop/rnb songs over the years; u got it bad, u-turn, u remind me, burn, yeah, confessions, caught up! and confessions is a good album! Usher-Pop Ya Collar
This is old, they did it last year on Annie Macs mashup, but it makes for great listening. If you havent heard anything of 2manydjs/soulwax then this is a great place to start. LCD soundsystem, Klaxons, the Gossip, Sugababes, Justice and more in 5 minutes...
Santogold has just released her debut album, and its amazing!!! In the style of MIA, but with (:o) better beats id say. Producers include diplo, switch and freq nasty. You may know her from the Vo5 advert, the song is Creator. She is sort of a mixture of hip-hop, electro and rock, very original, very refreshing, absolutely brilliant. Here are the 2 singles that have been released so far and a remix thats tagged on the end of the album. Santogold-Creator Santogold-L.E.S. Artistes Santogold-You'll find a way (switch & sinden remix) this album is definately worth buying!! nb. the quality of this remix really makes me sad that the dance stage line-up at leeds is so bad :( apart from css (although they arent exactly dance), smd and digitalism, the line up is crap (crystal castles are shockingly bad). justice should be there rather than nme stage, and i think they could have got fatboy slim to headline, along with mr oizo, sebastian, uffie, switch, sinden, the count, maybe even diplo. Read more...
its been far too long since i talked about LOST! Although something nice back home was one of the weaker episodes this season, i think it was still excellent. Sawyer and Miles continue to kill it, and Juliet was surprisingly likeable this episode! loved the Jin/Charlotte bit as well. there have been some amazing recaps on darkufo this week. "Nice guys finish last"-by Lukhs "The man who wasn't there" by Fishbiscuit "Something Nice Back Home" by Erika Read them all!!! Now for some sneak peeks, #1
#2
#3
"do you ever wonder what happened to the dharma initiative hugo?" class Its a Locke flashback (yes flashback) so clearly something big is going to be seen, otherwise they would not bother, especially with this shortened season. Richard Alpert is also back in this episode, although in what form im not sure and Horace Goodspeed. I have a pretty good idea as to what the big revelation will be, but i hope im wrong. Pretty sure well learn alot more about Jacob before the mega-exciting season finale!!! Also, im glad the freighter is back. Desmond, Sayid and michael are all brilliant Read more...
Saw them headline for the first time a couple of weeks ago, they are really such a special band. Orlando has one of the best voices in indie music. They have a new album, to follow up the outstanding Colour It In, out late this year. They did a session on Lamacq Live, playing 2 new songs, both of them pretty spesh. The Maccabees-Young Lions (Lamacq Session) The Maccabees-No Kind Words (Lamacq Session) Read more...
I was debating with myself over a number of bands i could have in this weeks old skool monday. it came down to coldplay and death cab, both would have been pretty relevant, as violet hill was made available last week, and narrow stairs leaked, and i will possess your heart is out today. anyways, i went for death cab, and prove my hypothesis, their first ever single. apparently this song is about a drummer leaving a band, possibly Nathan Good leaving Death Cab? or some people think its about the Thermals drummer leaving them? i dont know, but because its written by the ultimate relationship commentator, their are clear connotations of a bitter end to a relationship (whether romantic or not). This is Death Cab at their distorted best, and as Ben does so often in Death Cabs early years (e.g. for what reason, champagne..., your bruise etc etc) the lyrics are "bent with bitterness". Have a look at the lyrics (if you cant understand Bens distorted voice) and see what people think at songmeanings (i love this website!) Released very limitedly in 1999. Death Cab For Cutie-Prove My Hypotheses Read more...
ok i can give you some new death cab. here is the bside to i will possess your heart, a demo version of no sunlight from the new album. above is a picture of bixby canyon bridge! i think i might of been there in my youth! i will find out :D Death Cab For Cutie-No Sunlight (Demo) Read more...
as you may know, narrow stairs has leaked! but im not gonna give you any links, well not until next week when its out. in the meantime death cab did a session on daytrotter including two songs from the new album, cath and talking bird. here they are: Cath...(Daytrotter Session) Talking Bird (Daytrotter Session)
and they also did a movie script ending, styrofoam plates, why youd want to live here and new year. all 6 tracks here Read more...
this blog is intended to give people a sample of music that I like, so that they will go out and buy/download full albums. this blog will never post links to full albums. if you own any of the music posted on this page and wish to have it removed, please send me an email and i will take it down immediately.
