Questions? Comments?




This one's been floating around the blogs for a bit now and who am I not to keep it going. I absolutely love this song. While the original is incredibly catchy in its own right, this remix manages to breath fresh life into a youthful favorite. And the beat makes me think of "Closer" by NIN, that's always a good thing! Please to enjoy.

Red Light Special?

I promise I'm gonna try to update more frequently.

So, ummmm... yeah.



I heard this song on Sirius XM today while driving in my car. I have been listening to it on repeat ALL day. I know virtually nothing about this band but that's apparently what they want. They do most of their shows with some form of cover over their faces. They did SXSW with hamburgler/incredibles makeup over their eyes. Whateves, the song is catchy as hell. Push play. Bob head. Repeat.

I've switched to a new music player as well. I've seen sound cloud around and it's pretty awesome. Now you can listen before you download. Click the little down arrow on the right hand side to download. But be quick about it. Only 100 downloads and they won't be up for very long. Please to enjoy.

Turns out the band is giving away the Ep for free on their website.

Go to Folchen.com to download the entire EP.

ps. Am I the only one who TOTALLY hears and can sing either "Nasty Girl" or "Naughty Girl" over that beat? I didn't think so

Doubles Anyone?

Work and school have pretty much been kicking my butt lately which means I have very little time to even listen to music, much less blog about it. But I just finished finals and summer's right around the bend (hopefully, stupid rain!) and I love me a summer mix. I've had a lot of songs in the queue for a while now and eventually that list grew too large for one CD (I know no one uses them anymore but hey, just in case) so I split it into two mixes. I'm quite found of both of them and I hope that you like them as well. Enjoy.

The Winter of My Disconnect.

It's been a long time, I shouldn'ta left you without a dope beat to step to.

Ok, so maybe not "step" to so much as "sit and listen introspectively" to. My winter mixtapes are always a bit darker, this is no exception.

So The Days Float Through My Eyes

If there's one thing I am certain of myself it's that I wear my music like a mood ring. A tricky thing, really. Does the ring turn the color of the mood you're currently experiencing? Or does your mood change to better match the color of the ring? I'd like to think that we have more control over our emotional state than most people give themselves credit for. If life is a series of choices, then I'm making an active decision to enjoy mine a bit more. I'd very much like to embrace the changes I see are necessary in my life rather than struggle against them. To be the change I want to see. Trust me, it's harder than it sounds.

I think that's why I enjoy this time of year so much. I am so in awe of the seamless transition from Winter's cold and dreary wet to the bright and beautiful Spring. Everything in nature seems to know its place. All of the tiny pieces fall in line behind the scenes to create the bigger picture. It always seems so effortless to me. I'd like my life to be more like that. I'm not expecting the changes to be quite so effortless, but I'd certainly like to facilitate them as best I can. That's where this mix comes from. Facilitating change. Making the mood ring as blue as I can get it. Enjoy.

Covered in Love.


Valentine's day is here again. Meh. It's not my favorite holiday, even when I am part of a pair. But I guess I can stay topical. I've got a few dance diddies to get your heart racing if nothing else tonight will.

Stacy Q. Two of Hearts. I don't know anything else she ever put out. I don't really care. I've loved that song ever since I was a gay youth. Recently it's been covered a couple times recently and I love those just as much.** Enjoy.

The 1st is by Norwegian ElectroPop-Tart Annie. It's got a serious freestyle sound behind the wheel while the vocals remain pretty true to the original. It was originally released as the first single in October from her as yet unreleased album Don't Stop. But the last time I checked up on the album, I didn't see the song on the track list. Hmmm... I've included the single version as well as my favorite remix (Duh!).

Annie - Two of Hearts (MediaFire)

The second cover comes from the wonderful Buffetlibre Rewind. If you don't know what that is go do some digging. It's well worth your time! The song is the work of Electric Valentine and Ultraviolet Sound and while I don't know anything about the two groups who've come together to produce this most perfect pop track, I do know that it has been at the very top of my playlist since I downloaded it! The kid in me loves that it doesn't stray too far from the original version, but the grown up in me loves the retrofitted electro sound. Yeah, I just referenced a frosted miniwheats commercial, Jealous?!

And just in case you don't already have it (For Shame!) the original.

Watch Out Boy, She'll Chew You Up.


Today I blog for a cause. Well sort of. When I heard Neko Case had a new album coming out I was excited. When I learned she was giving away her 1st single for free I was thrilled. When I learned that her label was going to donate $5 to Best Friends Animal Society for every music blog that reposts the single I decided to do my part for I am nothing if not philanthropic. Ok, so I just read that word in a book the other day. I am not alone in my desire to give back apparently. I can't click a link without stumbling on another music blog who is helping out by doing a post on this track. Awesomely donating to charity whilst making sure that your single is EVERYWHERE aside, Neko certainly doesn't dissapoint sound wise. "People Got a Lotta Nerve" is 2:30 of wonderful twangy guitars backing Case's soaring voice. She sings of elephants and killer whales and maneaters. I'm down for it all. Give a listen and check out the link above and the video below to learn more about the charity. Enjoy.

La Roux Is On Fire!

If Prince's "When Doves Cry" and Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" had a beautiful, if not coke induced one night stand the result would surely be the 1st single from British newcomer La Roux.


(Tilda Swinton Sings?)


Effortlessly produced and effervescent, "Quicksand" is a brilliant bit of pop perfection from fire haired siren Elly Jackson and producer Ben Langmaid that retains all of the intensity from its parents without all of the weight.

She is currently touring with Lily Allen and has a full length album due out this spring. Until then, load this onto your iPod and push the repeat button.

Enjoy.

So Crazy in Love

It funny sometimes the connections that lead you from one place to another. Like the other day I was searching for a remix of "Single Ladies" by Beyoncé (Don't judge me!!!) and ended up discovering a completely unrelated new artist I am exceptionally excited about.




His name is Gavin Castleton and I cannot stop playing his music. I stumbled upon his blog where he had posted a video cover of "Nothing Compares 2 u" and was hooked. I must've watched it 5 times all the way through back to back. And that's something as it clocks in at just over 9 minutes. From there I began to listen to the snippets he had available on his Myspace and now it seems I'm completely obsessed. He has a few albums out now (check out Hospital Hymns, it's gorgeous!!) but I am most interested in his forthcoming endeavor titled Home. His myspace is almost baren, spare a creepy hand rising from the dirt and this :

When your lover tears your heart
clumsily from your chest
and holds it up to your face
you will first wonder "How an I still alive?"
But then you will think,
"I had no idea my heart was that big."
Your friends will tell you to hury up and get over it.
they will prescrive all sorts of bandaids,
exalting the near ad distant future
while you can't see two feet in front of your face.

The truth is, there is no right way to cope
and there is no wrong way to cope...
You just cope.
This music is how Gavin Castleton chose to cope.

"HOME," and album designed to heal heartache.


I'm in!

The bits and pieces I've heard from this album have me salivating at the thought of the outright feast. Ordinarily I would have no problem with searching for an advanced copy to quench my desires but at the artists specific request (as per his blog about the album's leak) I have decided to wait very patiently for it's Friday the 13th release date next month. I was able to track down some downloads made available from him that are completely guilt free and will share those with you now in the hopes that you too will be one of the 1rst in line to purchase Home when it drops.

From Home


This track is bouncy and fun with a retro sound that makes my heart smile!

and although I won't post it for download, Gavin put up this track on his myspace and you have to hear it. I keep the player open all day just to listen over and over again!!! It's called "Sugar in the Sheets" and the time change makes my pulse quicken! I also threw in a couple othe misc. Gavin goodies. GO BUY THIS GUYS STUFF!!!



This next track appears as a b-side on the 1st single released on itunes from Home, it's creepy and the cover has what looks to be zombies and I love it!!!

Regifted



Apparently 'tis the season again. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that Christmas is not my favorite holiday. Not by a long shot. For me it's just another year flown by and I'm forced to listen to (mostly terrible) Christmas music all day at work. Maybe it was listening to Jessica Simpson X-mas bullshit at least 3 times per day that compelled to put together my own mix of a few of my very favorite holiday songs. Ones that don't make me wanna blow out my own eardrums. It started off quite small and somehow snowballed (no, that wasn't a pun!) into a full blown playlist as I scoured my iTunes and found gem after seasonal gem.

There are a few standards, if not obvious choices on the list. The Drifters' "White Christmas" always makes me think of Home Alone (or was it Home Alone 2? They're both great so who cares) and while there are tons of covers of "Last Christmas" I find the original Wham! version is perfection. And it wouldn't be Christmas without Brenda Lee's incomparable "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree." My mother played her Christmas album every year on a loop and it has remained my favorite ever since.

I also threw in some newer stuff like the incredibly fun Rosie Thomas original "Why Can't It Be Christmastime All Year" (thank you Daniel), a fabulous remix of Kay Starr's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" and a bouncy holiday 'fuck you' from one of my favorite new discoveries Hello Saferide. The one track I cannot seem to get enough of is the last one in the set. Originally from the movie "Toys," The Closing of the Year" has been humming around in my head for days now and always leaves me with a cheerful grin on my face and a childlike optimism for the season and the year to come.

Enjoy.

Hold The Black Eyed Peas, Please.







I have been listening to a lot of guilty pleasure pop bullshit lately and as a result I feel it's time to get back to some music of a little more substance. I cannot tell you how much I adore the song "Where is the Love" by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway (no it isn't that same song by Fergie and the gang) and I've been listening to it a lot lately. Recently I discovered that John Legend sang it at a concert in Philadelphia with guest vocalist Corinne Bailey Rae. Now at least I can cycle between the two versions when I need my fix. Enjoy.

Please Stop Acting Like You're Not Impressed




I found some free time and an overwhelming need to share this with anyone who will listen! A lot of people think the SNL has been sub par for the past few seasons, but I strongly disagree. I think it's generally on point and I watch it religiously. Last night was no exception. And thank the lord or I might have missed the digital short by The Lonely Island, a comedy trio composed of SNL cast member Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone both of whom are SNL writers. It's a little diddy straight out of the 80's, with a serious Pet Shop Boys sound. Oh, and it's effing hilarious! With cameos by Molly Sims, Justin Timberlake and Jamie Lynn Sigler.

Naturally I have provided the video to watch copy of the song for all of you who, like myself, want to take it on the go. I give you "Jizz in My Pants" Enjoy.

The Bitch is Back




While all of my free time has been completely reserved for reading the Twilight series (no this isn't another post about that) I have very nearly ignored all other forms of entertainment. I was so engrossed that I almost missed the return of pop princess turned hot crazy mess turned comeback kid, Britney Spears. Her new single, "Womanizer," took a couple of listens before I was relishing the mindlessness of it. Sure enough before long I couldn't keep my head from bouncing about my shoulder like a cheap bobble-head toy. Because the song is everywhere I'm gonna post a couple of my favorite remixes. The first is by those filthy mouthed french boys, The Teenagers, giving the song a decidedly more "indie rock" feel. Next we have a gritty electro romp courtesy of Brad Walsh. It's quite good. My favorite of the handful I have actually. Good to know he won't need a leg up from his boyfriend, Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Soriano. Although, I'm sure that doesn't hurt matters.
Enjoy.

And So The Lion Fell in Love With The Lamb.

A friend of mine (actually a few friends) were trying to convince me that I needed to read the Twilight series of books by author Stephenie Meyer, and naturally I put it off as long as I could. Do I really need one more thing to obsess about? Apparently I was in dire need! In the last few days all of my free time was devoted to the first book in the series. I only put it down when absolutely necessary. Last night I began reading chapter 11 at about midnight, thinking "I'll just read for about a half hour the get to bed." I had to work the next morning. Well, there never really seemed a good place to stop, and before I knew it, the time was 4am and I had finished it. Devoured it. Savored every last little phrase. It was fantastic. Without giving too much away, the book is told from the perspective of a girl named Bella who moves to a small town in the northwest and falls deeply in love with the mysterious , gorgeous Edward. Knowing full well that he is a vampire. The way the author described their relationship was intoxicating. The unequivocal need they felt for one another despite the inherent dangers posed by the very nature of the relationship was exhilarating. The hunger Edward endured for both her love and her life was incredibly sexy. It made my skin tingle. *Sigh*


(Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson play the leads in the movie version)

At any rate, it has been all I can think about all day. From the moment I dragged my sorry, tired butt out of bed this morning I couldn't wait to buy the next book and continue on with the story. It even played into my musical selection this morning. I plugged in my iPod and quickly threw together a playlist of songs that recreated some of the emotions I was feeling while reading. I certainly won't make you suffer trough it's entirety but I would love to share with you the 1st two songs that initially sprang to mind.

Without a second thought, I immediately searched my library for Sarah Mclachlan's wonderfully crafted and incredibly intimate album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. While her more recent work leaves me wanting, I take comfort in the fact that this album never gets old for me. But I digress. At the tail end of the record lies the absolutely beautiful "Fear." Glitchy and haunting, it is easily my favorite track on the record. With it's layered dub and the soaring soprano of her voice gently coaxing you closer, soft and safe, before unleashing the full force of an emotional barrage that leaves the listener devastated. Broken. It's absolutely stunning. And wickedly appropriate for this story with lyrics like:

"from above
they say temptation will destroy our love
The never ending hunger

but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear..."

A perfect fit to our star crossed lovers.

The second track is naturally the next on the disc. I pretty much can't listen to the first without seamlessly following to the next. I believe a great deal of thought went into the placement of these songs on the disc, and when the opening line of the title track is "All the fear has left me now, I'm not frightened anymore," how could you ever play one without the other? More one story in two parts than two separate songs, I find "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" a lovely juxtaposition to it's sister song. Softer still, it lays it all out on the table. All of the hesitation from "Fear" is drifting out in the atmosphere and what remains is the calm and collected acceptance of a love that will not be denied. "It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh, it's my mouth that pushes out this breath" she whispers at a hush so in contrast to the operatics of the previous confession that it could only be truth.

"Peace in the struggle to find peace. Comfort on the way to comfort," she hums
gently in your ear as if simply willing away the darkness before out rightly defying it:

"...and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love."

I love these songs. As I write this I listen to them on a loop, just as I did all afternoon in anticipation for purchasing the 2nd book. Do yourself a favor and listen to these track, with headphones if possible so it feels like it's just the two of you. And I highly suggest you pick up a copy of Twilight. Sure there's a movie coming out in a month or so, but I guarantee it will not be nearly as good. Enjoy.

UnDead, and Loving It.

My idea of heaven this evening was curling up on my couch with a cup of chai tea, a chocolate chip cookie (or two) and watching the DVD's of one of my favorite new programs, Pushing Daisies. It's the brain child of one of my favorite television writers Bryan Fuller who is also responsible for the short lived and also fantastic "Wonderfalls" as well as the original idea for "Dead Like Me." Oh, he also wrote my favorite episode of Heroes to date, "Company Man."

Anyway, Pushing Daisies follows Ned (Lee Pace) , the pie maker with the unusual gift to bring people back from the dead with his touch, and his childhood love, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (the lovely Anna Friel) , who he's recently brought back to life. The gift is not without its consequence however as one more touch from Ned and she would be dead again. Forever. Wackyness ensues.

One of the best parts of the show is the use of popular songs incorporated as musical numbers performed by the incredibly talented cast. Broadway darling Kristin Chenoweth and Little Shop of Horrors' marvelous Ellen Greene have both contributed wonderfully whimsical numbers much to my delight. But then, how could you have either of those two on a show and not showcase their beautiful voices? I've ripped the songs from the video and the quality is pretty decent and I've also included the original tracks for reference, just in case you're one of the 3 people on the planet that needs it. Check out Season 1 online HERE and be sure to catch up by Weds, Oct 1st when season 2 begins. Enjoy.





In the 2nd episode we're treated to an impromptu ballad from Olive Snook (Kristin Chenoweth) as she pours her heart out over unrequited love for the pie maker. She belts "Hopelessly Devoted To You" in the pie shop as she closes up, stopping only when interrupted by passers by before returning to a grand finale of emotional unrest! Then she lets the the dog lick the tears from her face. Kristin Chenoweth is awesome.

Hopelessly Devoted to You - Kristin Chenoweth (YSI)


Afraid the shock would be too great, Chuck has yet to reveal to her aunts Lilly (Swoosie Kurts) and Vivian (Ellen Greene) that she has been brought back to life. Once stars of the synchronized swimming act The Darling Mermaid Darlings, they have not not been in the pool for years due to shared personality disorders and have not left the house since the death of their niece. One rainy day Vivian sits at the window musing about rejoining the outside world and begins to sing a somber if hopeful rendition of Cat Stevens' "Morning Has Broken." The title line takes on a beautiful metaphor as she finally breaks free of the mourning that has weighed her down for so long now. It makes my heart smile.

My Bubbles, My Bubbles!!!

I was watching Vh1 18 or something the other day because Pop Up Video was on. Remember that show? Some of my favorite useless trivia came from that program. Such as "Meatloaf got his nickname when he stepped on the foot of his high school football coach." (also, did you know that none other than Transformer's Michael Bay directed the music video for "I would do anything for love..." hmmm...) Anyway, at the end of the show I was reading through the credits and the writer of the theme song came up as Mike Errico. If you don't remember (and how could you not?) it goes a little something like this:



Lost you there for a minute, huh? I know, it's mesmerizing.

Ok so I thought to myself, "That's funny I have a song I really like from a long time ago by a guy with that name. I wonder if it's him?" Sure enough after some simple Googling there it was on his official page: TV Credits "Pop Up Video."

I hadn't listened to this song in some time, but I could never forget my favorite line from it "if my life were a movie you'd be burried in the credits. you'd be woman number two with her head up her ass, but it's too late." Awesome.

He's made a couple more albums since 1999's Pictures of the Big Vacation. Who knew? I'm gonna go check out some of his newer stuff, give this track a listen and, if you like it, do the same. Enjoy.

There Will Be Blood

Well not really, but I am kinda pissed. On August 30th I did a post for my end of summer mix and now it's gone. No draft, not even an echo of the post remains. Grrr Arrg. I am going to re-post the link for the mix, but I've decided not to replicate the whole post. I have a whole bunch of new music that I'm really excited to share with everyone and another summer-ish mix that goes in a completely different direction that the last so stay tuned for that. In the mean time, here's the link to the zipped file of Digital Current. Enjoy.
