Givers – Up Up Up

Givers – Up Up Up (Youtube)
Who likes Paul Simon? Well, I do. Quite a lot actually, on account of how he’s made lots of good songs. But apart from me, who else likes him? Vampire Weekend too, I suppose. Anyway that’s besides the point because Givers do, that’s who, and you might be able to [...]

Metronomy – The Bay

Metronomy – The Bay (Youtube)
Metronomy have put out another single! And it’s very good. The video they have made to accompany it is also very good. These two events have combined, celestial-like, to form a blog post written by the hand of yours truly. Bet Galileo didn’t see that one coming.
As befitting the latest single [...]

Swimming – Mining For Diamonds (Vimeo)
In a further instalment of Bands Mark Quite Likes, here’s a new video from the wonderful Swimming. They’re a hot new popular beat combo coming out of Nottingham, which is also home to a few of my other favourite things such as trams and Tom Whalley.
They’ve only gone and done [...]

Adi Ulmansky – One Octave Up (audio only)
Being in the business of blogging, I occasionally have the pleasure of new music dropping into my inbox. Sometimes that music is very good and I’m very proud to announce that this is one of those occasions.
Adi Ulmansky is an Israeli electronic type musician, and this song (which [...]

Robyn – Call Your Girlfriend (Youtube)
You know what is always good? A new music video by the really rather good popstrel that is Robyn. And that’s what we have here, and it is brilliant.
Accompanying my very favourite track from last year’s Body Talk album/set of albums (I forget how it all worked out in the [...]

I am currently putting my hands up like it’s 1987

In: New Music

20 May 2011

And I strongly urge that you do the same because this is A BIT BLOODY AMAZING.
Get this in your ears:
Nerina Pallot – Put Your Hands Up (Like It’s 1987) [We Are The Chatterleys Mix] by Nerina Pallot
Courtesy of We Are The Chatterleys (which is Nerina and hubby Andy Chatterley) comes this amazing slice of [...]

AlunaGeorge – We Are Chosen (Youtube)
I was lucky enough to pop over to the rather lovely Bull & Gate earlier this week, where I had the pleasure of taking in a set by the hot new band type people AlunaGeorge. At least, I did when they got started – due to some sort of technical [...]

The Death Set – We Are Going Anywhere Man

The Death Set – We Are Going Anywhere Man (Youtube)
I bloody love The Death Set. There’s something wonderfully insane about their Beastie Boys-influenced, antipodean originated, Brooklyn based punk rock madness. To whit, the band’s description for this video for their new single from second album Michael Poiccard:
We wanted to throw a party on our roof [...]
