the above photo is taken from the video of the second single off "narrow stairs", cath. looks like its gonna be a funny video. probably my favourite on the album atm.
"Molly’s Chambers" is the first single taken from the Youth and Young Manhood album by the American rock band Kings of Leon.
The title is taken from a line in Thin Lizzy's version of the traditional Irish folk song "Whiskey in the Jar".
"Molly's Chambers" was used in a 2003 Volkswagen commercial, depicting a young couple dancing in their apartment. Apparently, they are making too much noise, because they are kicked out, and after finding a house, they load up their VW, and move into their new home, and are seen at the end of the commercial, jumping up & down, as Molly's Chambers plays throughout the ad."

| 2008-06-04 - NYC Shows in June and NEW ALBUM update! There are 2 shows coming up in June in New York! First is with PG Six, Don Lennon and The Human Hearts (Feat. Franklin Bruno)...this is on 22nd June at Union Hall, Brooklyn. It is $7 and starts around 8pm. The next one is at Cake Shop on 27th June with our good friends The Dregs. This is an early show, starting around 6pm...and the good news is it's FREE! I will also be sitting in with the Dregs on a number or two, and Spencer will be sitting in with me on a couple of tunes. One other show is in the works...will keep you posted! We will be in town finishing up the new record...just needs some tweakin' here and there. This will definately (hopefully!) be finished by the end of summer, and god willing, will be out by the end of the year...but you know how these things go! Lots of cool folks on the record, the odd collaboration here and there and lots of jangly pop songs...sorry it has taken so long! |
after going progressively further from his grime roots with each of his two albums (although he made 2 great hip-hop albums) kano is going back to grime for album number 3, 140 grime street. wiley and skepta are heavily involved with the production, and the first track (feat. Wiley) got its first airplay last week. cheers to whoever ripped this.....
although the original has become pretty wearing, these 3 remixes are all very different to the original, and each other...they are all top stuff...hot chip also did a brilliant cover a few weeks ago, ill try and get that up sometime soon

18 today!! its a special old skool monday for me, with one of the best songs of all time, from one of the best rap albums of all time, by the best (yes, better than public enemy) rap group of all time, its de la soul!!
"Eye Know" is a single from De La Soul's landmark album 3 Feet High and Rising. It peaked at number 14 on the UK singles chart.
Released during rap's Golden Age of 1986-1992, the song is an upbeat, feelgood love jam featuring a whistle sample from Otis Redding's "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay". The song also includes samples from Steely Dan's "Peg" and Sly & The Family Stone. At the time of its release, sampling laws were very liberal and the now-requisite task of clearing, or even obtaining permission, for using famous songs were almost non-existent. Nevertheless, "Eye Know" is much more famous for its poetically phrased musings on the wonders of love and of course for its pioneering sampling techniques."
the lyrics are truely brilliant. what a fantastic summery song. amazing. heres a sample
After Justified (in all its Neptunes goodness), it would have been very difficult for justin timberlake to make a better album. The first album has so many stand out tracks; senorita, like i love you, take it from here, rock your body, right for me, lets take a ride, worthy of are all great pop songs. When the Timbaland produced Futuresex/love sounds (the name already puts a downer on it) came out i didnt like it, it was trying too hard to keep up with the times, all electro when he suits more chilled beats i think. anyways, when my love came put i changed my mind, what an amazing song, and then the next couple of singles were good, so i may have another listen to the album and see if my mind is changed. anyway, the new album is definitely suited to being remixed, and it has been many times, to great effect. here are a few examples
Because i upped it for someone already, thought i may as well post it up here!!
