Electric Guest

Posted January 4th, 2012. Filed under Music

Everything Danger Mouse turns to gold.  Gorillaz.  The Black Keys.  Broken Bells.  That Dark Night of the Soul album.  Last year’s epic Rome album.  All gold.

Go ahead and guess who claims production credit for Electric Guest.

This track “Troubleman” is 9 minutes of greatness.  Take a listen.

I’m kicking the tires on a new thing - attempting to prove that good music videos are not dead.  5 videos at a time.  Round 1

 

Ren Harvieu

Posted January 2nd, 2012. Filed under Music

Tonight in 2012 releases I’m looking forward to, we have Ren Harvieu.  Go here and listen to Ren sing.  All three tracks are worth a listen, but Forever In Blue and Through the Night are on permanent late-snowy-night repeat tonight.

In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter

Christmas season is in full swing, so I thought I’d share a pretty great Christmas “album” I put together.  I think it captures the feel and spirit of an awesome poem called In the Bleak Midwinter by Christina Rossetti published in 1904.  Check out the poem, then click the image above to listen to some of my absolute favorite Christmas songs.

New music from a band I love: MUTEMATH

Posted June 11th, 2009. Filed under Music Personal

I loved their debut LP and both of their EPs are interesting listening.  This track is from their new EP (and I assume it’ll be on their soon-to-be-released LP).  Hand claps are always fun, no?

Mute Math (sometimes typeset as MUTEMATH or MuteMath) is a Grammy Award nominated American rock band from New Orleans that formed in 2003. Their music consists of many elements such as alternative rock, new wave, electro rock, psychedelic rock, and post-rock with ambient vocals. The group consists of Paul Meany on Rhodes piano, bass, keytar, keyboards, samples, vocals, and more recently, guitar; Darren King on drums, samples, and programming; Greg Hill on guitars and vocals; and Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas on bass guitar, upright bass, and bass drum.
