Soap Collectors have thus far been little more than a blip to me. They don’t have a record out, but there are some demos floating on MySpace and Muxtape… I actually heard their tune through Justin Ouellette’s sample mix and it pretty much blew my mind, so I hit them up with an email and got the sweetest reply in response, to the extent that I actually blogged about it at the time. But more importantly, they sent me an mp3, a tune called ‘Windows’, with promises of more material to come.
That was probably six months ago now, and still no sign of an EP or album, but these guys are definitely a band to watch. The tunes are blissful, dreamy, impeccably crafted, and the vocals are sugar-sweet, like going to candy paradise. When the promised record finally drops, it is going to be massive.
Anyhow, write to them and see if they are as courteous to you as they were to me. It’ll probably brighten your day. And if they throw in a mp3 or two, well then, all the better.

This is a strange album. It is France Gall’s psychedelic record, since it was obligatory for all musicians to release one during the late-1960s. I haven’t heard many others from French musicians, except for Bonnie & Cylde by Gainsbourg and Bardot, so I don’t know how prevalent the trend was over there. But I hope there are more of them, because this is astronomically cheesy and leaves me wanting more (it’s only 31 minutes long, an ideal album length). You can probably get some idea of what it is going to sound like just by looking at the artwork, which is a ridiculously typical late-’60s psychedelic album cover.
Being a France Gall album, it is not all psychedelic pop; there are, as always, some extremely cheesy string-based pop songs, and I think that is part of its appeal. It’s very fun, and there are a few S. Gainsbourg-penned songs here, which is always good.
Chiddy Bang are a hip hop group with nice beats and refreshing lyrics, proving you don’t have to rap about being wasted to be catchy. They’re also great at using samples in different ways. Including a sample of “Kids” by MGMT in their latest single “Opposite of Adults”. Clever title, right?
CHIDDY BANG – “OPPOSITE OF ADULTS”
CHIDDY BANG – “SOONER OR LATER”
CHECK ‘EM OUT!
Next up:
Miike Snow
I’ve also been listening to alot of Miike Snow this week, they’re new album is amazing. They have a sort of electronic sound, with pop vocals, if that makes sense. They make great laid back songs that are dance friendly, or you could always just chill to it and nod your head. Here are a couple of my favorites:
MIIKE SNOW – “BLACK AND BLUE”
MIIKE SNOW – “ANIMAL”
MIIKE SNOW – “SILVIA”
from the album "Miike Snow"
GET THAT ALBUM!
Anyways, I’m done for the time being. Hope everyone is having a good week!
And by that we mean announced a bunch of tour dates (including one somewhat close to me, in Tacoma). Oh and her video for “Telephone” with Beyonce (see above) may or may not have been banned from MTV. It wasn’t, but CNN said it was.
CNN reported on Sunday that MTV wouldn’t touch the video with a ten-inch pole because it was “so strong, so suggestive, so sexual, so violent” but MTV denied that was true. They said:
“MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s ‘Telephone’ video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported,” said MTV Executive Vice President of Music and Talent Amy Doyle. “Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online.”
Rolling Stone also has her tour dates, which are:
June 28 – Montreal, QC @ Bell Centre
July 1 – Boston, MA @ TD Garden

So we were sitting around and hard a REALLY loud POP and all the lights in the neighborhood went out. Found out today that one of the transformers in our neighborhood caught on fire, so this is what last night looked like a 9:45, 10:45, 12:45 am. The power finally was restored at about 3:30 this afternoon ONLY because some of the guys in the neighborhood walked up to where the electric company was working on another area on the same block and spoke to them. Turned out they didn’t even know about it!!! Two of the workers took one of the trucks and came and took care of it. THEY DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT!!! LOL
Another addition to the ever growing Big Scary Monsters roster of indie talent, Tall Ships from Falmouth have released a limited run screen printed debut EP that sold out before they knew it on pre-orders alone. I’m usually a fan of the BSM catalogue, so it’s always nice to hear something new.
‘Books’ opens up the album with a mix of big synth lines that anyone could sing along to, to a softer verse, as Ric Phethean’s vocals wash over you, with some great rhyming in there as well. ‘time is precious / time will forget us’.
‘Words Are Pegs Upon Which We Hang Ideas’ is a lot more within the realms of afrobeat foals-esque indie, and has a great tempo and upbeat feel, and there is even some old samples over the top. Really picking up towards the end, I think this is one for the dance floor at times.
‘Beanieandodger’ is another number with real pace behind it, with the offbeat hi hats driving things along nicely in the chorus, whilst the guitar bangs out consistently nice and simple riffs.
‘Vessels’ ends the EP, and is a track that really grows throughout. What sounds like 3 part harmony sounds great against the almost hymn-like guitar and organ part. Maybe this is modern church music, who knows? When the drums kick in though, this is a truly epic number, and builds and builds, with some great bits in between. Quite a unique little number.
This is a good debut EP by these guys, and it’s always good to have a bit of variety in a first release, which this has. ‘Books’ is one of my least favourites personally, as I think they do the upbeat stuff better. They’ve also just been on tour with Tubelord, so I’m sure they’re building up quite a number of fans by now.
EXTREME PLANETARY WEATHER WARNING
One of my Muses, DEBORAH
at the Wall Street Weather blog
made a pretty extraordinary prediction
today in her Mars essay.
Suffice it to say
Mars is gonna be really busy this summer.
I think Deborah is right,
expect extreme weather.
But the big news today is Mars
shifting to forward motion.
Lots of people are really angry these days,
but at least in the next few weeks,
everybody can benefit from a boost
of Mars and ego energy.
Dead yesterday, unborn tomorrow.
Why fret if today be sweet?

Ok, it’s a bit past 9 AM now, still up after that essay waiting on my French 2001 class to start. Right now I’m checking out the Ludacris album that’s dropping next week, Battle of the Sexes, and the new Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach.
(I’ll probably update this later, talk about the tracks I’m digging or not, maybe…)
Once again, the pics are links to respective Myspace pages
I am in love with Pomplamoose. What else can I say?
It’s a mix of jazz and pop, with electronic backing. Their claim to fame was being featured on main page of youtube, garnering several thousands of hits. This couple collaboration (of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn) also makes renditions which are found here for free. Nataly Dawn’s jazzy voice is a perfect compliment to the electronic background.
Pomplamoose – Don’t want to miss a thing (aerosmith rendition)
Fusion: The union or blending together of things, as, melted together. (Webster’s Dictionary, 1913)
One morning, you wake up, scratch your ass a couple of times, check your eyes for that crusty crap, wipe off the crusty crap, find breakfast, eat breakfast, grab your guitar, grab your amp, leave home, and visit your buddy down the road. You’ve known this guy for years. You’ve known this guy for months. You’ve known this guy for the better part of a day. In that time, you’ve discovered that he can play music just as well as you can. You both listen to the same awesome records, watch the same awesome movies; you’ve even dated the same ‘awesome’ women. You know this person and they know you. One day, the day that this one morning falls under, you guys decide to put the old tape recorder your friend found in his basement one dark weekend to use. You spend a lot of long hours playing the same damn parts over and over again until they’re just right. You put pieces of each other in your music; bits of your souls. That chord progression was last weekend’s fascinating walk in the park. That drum fill was last month’s belching contest. These songs are, essentially, you in every way. So, you get yourselves pressed onto several hundred vinyl records, put yourselves out in a limited release, and interact with each and every listener on possibly the most intimate of levels.
That’s what I like to think went down in the months leading up to this.
Psych/pop outfit Velvet Davenport have a new 7″ coming out on Shdwply Records.
The record, which will be released March 31st, features two new tracks called “Get Out” and “Run”. On this particular record, the band collaborated with Ariel Pink and Gary War; both accomplished psych-pop/lo-fi artists.
Hear one of the tracks on the 7″ below.

There was a time when Jennifer Lopez was synonymous with a Billboard Hot 100 hit. She’s managed to score four No.1 hits in the US, but since the release of “All I Have,” a duet with L.L. Cool J things hasn’t looked good for Lopez. That collaboration managed to top the Hot 100 and even reached No.2 in the UK back in 2003.
The track was included on her This Is Me…Then set, which was led by the single “Jenny from the Block.” It featured, then, boyfriend Ben Affleck in a video inspired by all the paparazzis in their lives. In 2005, Jennifer Lopez released the album Rebirth. The set included the No.12 hit “Get Right” and “Hold You Down,” a duet with Fat Joe that peaked at No.64.
Latin album Como ama una mujer was issued in 2007, the year when Brave also saw the light of day. The latter album was led by “Do It Well,” a No.31 hit – far worse than the UK peak at No.11. When Jennifer Lopez collaborates with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart and performs at the 2009 American Music Awards, things are looking good. “Louboutins” made it to No.13 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Songs chart, but failed to reach any other upon its release in December last year.
Her new album Love? includes collaborations with Darkchild and Danja and last month, Epic announced it will part ways with Jennifer Lopez. No announcement has been made on what label will pick this project up, but rumours say that it’s Island Def Jam after Lopez being spotted to the record label’s chairman L.A. Reid, tha famous songwriter.
According to Wikipedia, “Everybody’s Girl” is expected to be the second single from the set. According to the German radio station, this was praised a stand out track. WelcheMusic hopes that “Story of My Life,” a track signed Rihanna/Ne-Yo production team StarGate. It’s usually bound for success.
If you’re younger than I am or if you didn’t grow up in America, you might not know what I mean by AM rock radio, so I’ll try to explain.
The transition of music and music listeners from radio to the Internet reminds me a lot of something I’ve seen before: the late ’70s/early ’80s trend away from playing music on AM radio. If you listen to music on the radio at all, you are probably doing it on the FM band. Nowadays, AM is reserved mostly for news and talk radio. It wasn’t always that way.
AM was where you heard all the top hits of the day for many many years. That was still true when I was a young adolescent in the mid-70s, just getting a taste for rock ‘n’ roll. The sound was a bit trebly and not in stereo, but that was normal. No one thought anything of it. FM radio existed at that point, but there were very few FM stations, at least in my neck of the woods, in the Texas Hill Country. Usually there was one classical station (if you were lucky) and one station that played elevator music (pretty much guaranteed, if there was only one, that would be it). And there was a problem called FM drift. You had to keep retuning the dial every few minutes, cuz the signal would drift to the left or right and it would be off the station.
There was a brief golden age, between about ‘75 and ‘79, when the music on AM radio was especially good. I’m talking about rock and pop stations, but the country music stations were also pretty good at that time also. It basically ended when disco began to take over and you heard nothing else for a few years till everybody got fed up and people started smashing their records and wearing “Disco Sucks” T-shirts.
There were some basic rules to AM rock radio. For one thing, it couldn’t rock too hard. For another, it had to be clean. Sex and drug references had to be well-disguised in metaphors. It was for the kids, but Mom and Dad were going to be listening, so no shenanigans. Strangely enough, those vague restrictions led to some pretty good songcraft.
Here are some of the songs you might typically hear on one of those stations during that time:
Gerry Rafferty – Baker Street
Elton John – Daniel, Tiny Dancer, Someone Saved My Life Tonight
Little River Band – Reminiscing
Billy Joel – Honesty, Only the Good Die Young
ELO – Strange Magic, Evil Woman, Telephone Line
Firefall – You Are the Woman, Just Remember I Love You
Todd Rundgren – Hello It’s Me
Linda Ronstadt – Allison, You’re No Good
Seals & Crofts – Summer Breeze, Diamond Girl
The Who – Mama’s Got a Squeezebox
Chicago – Color My World, 25 or 6 to 4, Saturday in the Park
James Taylor – Shower the People, Up on a Roof, Smiling Face
The weird thing is, I didn’t realize how good it was at the time, only in hindsight. (All I thought back then was, couldn’t we rock a little harder?) There was some dreck on the airwaves to be sure, but any hour of a popular AM station playlist from ‘76 would blow the crap they play today right out of the water. Maybe somebody else can come up with other examples.
A couple months ago I posted, “A Few Thoughts on Music Videos”, anyway, I just watched a few music videos in succession, and thought I’d post the playlist along with a bit of text commentary if you will.
Here is the playlist:
Brick & Lace – Bad to Di Bone
Pink – Funhouse
Rah Digga – Breakfool
Sugababes – Overload
Sugababes – Run for Cover
I liked the Brick and Lace video for the sole reason the singers Nyanda and Nailah Thorbourne are in it. The video was nothing too special, but Nyanda and Nailah Thorbourne are definitely easy on the eyes! It was the first time I saw the video for that song. It seems it was one of two songs that was released on the re-release of their album that was not on the original Love is Wicked album.
Pink’s video for “Funhouse”, again nothing too spectacular. The video provides imagery that works with lyrical content. I was watching the uncensored version thank you very much! Oh, and Ms Moore is not too bad looking in the video either!
I had never seen the video for Rah Digga’s “Breakfool”. It was nice to see her. It is too bad her album from circa 2004 Everything Is A Story never saw the light of day. The video version I believe is slightly different from the LP version. The video version seems to have more pronounced beats.
The last two, old Sugababes videos from the original line up, and first album. “Overload” being the first singe, and “Run for Cover” the third single. “Overload” is a pretty good video, as it is mostly just the group members singing their respective parts. And assuming it is true to the studio version, we get to see exactly who is singing when, and who is involved in the vocal melodies. “Run for Cover” is not too great, but not a bad early Sugababes track.
So you’re ready to get serious about the business. You’ve done the local talent shows, you’ve recorded some demos in your cousins bedroom, and you’ve watched all the VH-1’s “Behind The Music” shows. You are ready to tackle the big leagues, right!? Good! Here’s what you need to do to get started.
First, READ! Read A LOT! And I’m not talking about consumer magazines (ie. Blender and Hip-Hop Weekly), but respected industry books (ie. Billboard, Urban Network, and the bible of the music industry, All You Need To Know About The Music Business). These will let you know what’s really happening in the industry, who’s making moves, and most importantly, help you see how things REALLY operate in this unique business.
Second, if you want to be one of the greats, play with the greats. There are a lot of opportunities for you to mix and mingle with industry insiders. You just have to know where to go. There are music conferences held throughout the year, everywhere from New York to California, down to Nashville, Atlanta, and Texas. Conferences like SXSW, Urban Network, Atlantis, and several mixshow summits. Do some research and find one happening somewhere close to you. They don’t cost much (some as low as $50), and on top of learning valuable information from the best in the business, you will get to meet people who may be able to help take your career to the next level.
Lastly (for now), is STUDY YOUR CRAFT!!! Playing small gigs at your family reunion, local talent show/open mic, and in your boys basement are good places to develop, but if you plan on competing with the artist who dominate the airwaves, you have to constantly improve your sound. If you’re a singer for example, learn to play an instrument, consider taking vocal lessons, and/or learn a few dance steps. Watch the artists you’d like to open for, and find what it is that makes them stand out so much. Don’t just copy what they do, find ways to improve and make it your own. Don’t ever get caught feeling like you’ve perfected everything there is to do. Fans will always look for something new, and if you don’t provide it, someone else will.
Doing these few things can give you the foundation required to build a successful career and give you an upper edge against the thousands of other artist fighting for their time in the spotlight.
I was looking in vain for YouTube footage of Orange Juice playing “Moscow Olympics” and discovered that there’s a band named after the song. You’d guess such a band would be pretty good, and you’d be right. But you might not guess they’d be from the Philippines! I didn’t know before tonight that there’s a healthy scene of Filipino bands making pop records that sound like they were made 15 years ago in Sweden — see and hear, for instance, The Wentletraps. (I like the instrumental “Vignettes.”) I’d like to hear their cover of “Just Like Honey,” but I can’t find it online. OK, maybe you knew there was a Filipino twee pop scene — but did you know there was a Filipino Christian twee pop scene? These guys can’t be the only Christian pop band in the world called “Grace Period” but I’ll bet they’re the best. (Listen: “Can’t Get Away From You.”)
Anyway, if this is all too bright and sweet for you, cleanse that palate with a really disturbing ukulele version of “Helter Skelter” by Karinne Keithley. OK, I’ll concede this is bright and sweet too. But in a “Helter Skelter” kind of way.
It’s a scary old world this. One minute you’re standing in a seedy old pub, surrounded by drunken, bearded mammoths with skin heads and Slayer T-Shirts on, setting up your guitar to play what will be the most disheartening and un-well received gig of your life and the next minute, you’re sitting in your room playing Aphex Twin records. Music tastes change. I am a walking advertisement to this fact.
3 years ago, if someone asked me what musical genre I was into I would have told them Heavy Metal. More specifically, progressive heavy metal that swayed more onto the technical side. Now, I’m not going to lie to you and tell you that I don’t listen to that any more. I still like to indulge in a bit of Sikth or Devin Townsend from time to time, but over the past year my musical taste has taken, what the metal community might call; “a nosedive in quality” Obviously I would disagree with them, but let’s both agree that it’s definitely expanded. The main type of music I listen to now is Electronica. Artists such as: Aphex Twin (And all his variations) Mike Paradinas AKA Mu-Ziq, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada, Bjork, Portishead, The Prodigy and all other kinds of things. The thing is, a lot of these acts are more technical than the most technical of Heavy Metal, be it in a different way. Most obviously, Aphex twin is an absolute diversity gold mine from album to album, giving you anything from ridiculously layered and never repeating beat structures accompanied by eerie synth work and at times, tribal percussion to die for. At other times though Richard D James (The Aphex Twin himself) can produce the most beautiful and unique piano arrangements or dark, brooding ambient soundscapes. And what does the Metal community do to this music? Well it usually accuses it of lesser musical credit because it doesn’t choose to use conventional “natural” instruments. This is of course an utter crock. If only these people realised how much of their music is improved by such means. Hardly any electric guitar sound you hear nowadays is of an analogue sound format. Digital is the way, and those astronomically precise double bass drum rushes you bang your head to are actually probably double layered with an artificial drum map software. We are in the future people, I’m telling you.
The reason I bring all this up is because I am really sick of people who relate their musical tastes to their dress style and personality. It’s that common anti-Emo defence. We don’t hate you because of the way you dress or because of what music you choose to listen to. It’s because you call yourself an Emo and think you need to subcatagorise yourself. My Ipod is like Frankenstein’s monster at the moment. It can go from Outkast to Strapping young lad and then back to Aphex. And on the subject of Franken-Pods and Monsters, my latest addition to my Ipod was in fact, the current Queen of Pop, Lady Gaga. And guess what? I’m proud of that. I fought her charms for too long, and now in the style of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I’m going to sit back and give into absolute pleasure. The album is great. Sure, there are some bum tracks. It’s 24 tracks long, it’s going to have some stinkers but I was really amazed at how many of the songs I actually knew. She shits out hits.
Don’t think I’m a musical push over though. If there’s one thing I cant stand it’s this conversation: “So what kind of music do you like?” “Oh you know, everything and anything” No! you cant like anything. I wasn’t really asking you what genres you liked, I was asking you what artists specifically you’re into at the moment. I mean really, get an opinion for shit’s sake.
Event he crappiest genre has it’s occasional hidden gems
I know I have been ridiculously lazy in updating this- but you must believe that for me to wake up from my writing slumber to post this, it must be good. And oh- it- so- is.
During one of my regular music swapping session with a friend, he slipped “The Crayon Fields” into my USB. They are a four piece band from Melbourne that are just amazing in a simple and talented way. The soothing array of vocals are paired with cute melodies and instruments in the variety filled album “Animal Bells”. I love it so. Yes I do realise that this is an old album put out in 2006, just before people start accusing me of sounding like Nova (cough- new music?). Their new album “All the Pleasures of the World” was released last year (2009) so you should go and buy both albums and enjoy.

My lack of posts lately will result into one massive, super-post with a shit load of tunes that I’ve being going mad for. Read on my friends, read on.
In my eyes, Jack White can do no wrong, and he has confirmed my belief with the discover of The Black Belles. It seems as though Jack as found 4 ladies that are the female version of him, well, at least the sound just like the White Stripes, which I believe to be fantastic. So take a listen to their lead single ‘What Can I Do’ off their forthcoming album.
Big Stereo, one of my favourite music blogs has decided to follow in the footsteps of Neon Gold, and turn themselves into a record label. The have picked Baby Monster to launch the start of their label. I’m not sure I can even begin to explain the extreme love I have for this song, it makes me ‘come alive’. Bad jokes aside, She Comes Alive’ is an enchanting track that is going to make you want to do nothing but dance, dance, dance.
A friend of mine recently introduced me to the musical stylings of her friend Christina Maria. Christina is with out a doubt an artist that I am sure you will be hearing more of in the new future. Hailing from Vancouver Christina Maria released her album on February 15th. Here’s her video for her single ‘Straight Lines’.
Yes Giantess have released, yet another fantastic track. It may just be the best track to come out yet this year. Starsmith, the pop producer behind the fantastic Ellie Gouliding track ‘Under The Sheets‘. Starsmiths pop influences are easily heard on this upbeat, hypnotizing track.
Canadian singer Justin Bieber was born in March 1994 and immediately became Usher’s protegé upon being discovered by the manager Scooter Braun via YouTube. My World was released in November 2009 as the first part of his debut album. The set has resulted no less than four singles – “One Time,” “One Less Lonely Girl,” “Love Me” and “Favorite Girl.”
‘The second part called My World 2.0 is set to be released in March this year, and the first single “Baby” has already been issued. The track featuring rapper Ludacris and was written and produced by Tricky Stewart, The-Dream and Christina Milian (of “AM to PM” fame). A second single is expected to be “Never Let You Go.” “Baby” will be included on the next WelcheMusic compilation out soon.
Justin Bieber is one of the singer’s on the new version of “We Are the World.”
Ungu adalah grup musik Indonesia yang beranggotakan Pasha (penyanyi), Makki (bass), Enda (gitar), Oncy (gitar), dan Rowman (drum). Sampai tahun 2007 mereka telah menghasilkan 4 album dan 2 album mini.
Karir
Ungu terbentuk tahun 1996. Motor pembentuknya adalah Ekky (gitar) dan saat itu vokalisnya adalah Michael, sedangkan drum dipegang oleh Pasha Van derr Krabb. Tahun 1997, saat Ungu hendak manggung, Pasha Van derr Krabb ‘menghilang’ dan posisinya digantikan oleh Rowman. Enda yang sebelumnya adalah roadies-nya Ekky juga ikut bergabung dengan Ungu.
Tahun 2000, Ungu mulai mempersiapkan album pertama mereka, yang akhirnya dirilis 6 Juli 2002 bertajuk Laguku. Sebelumnya, Ungu ikut mengisi 2 lagu di album kompilasi Klik bersama Lakuna, Borneo, Piknik, dan Energy. Ke dua lagu tersebut adalah “Hasrat” dan “Bunga”. Single pertama album ini, “Bayang Semu” menjadi ost. sinetron ABG (RCTI). Meski terbilang sukses, album ini baru mendapat Platinum Award setelah hampir 2 tahun album ini dirilis.
Saat hendak masuk dapur rekaman untuk album kedua, Ekky memutuskan keluar. Oncy yang saat itu baru keluar dari Funky Kopral dipilih untuk menggantikan Ekky. Album kedua Ungu Tempat Terindah dirilis Desember 2003. Album ini menjagokan “Karena Dia Kamu” sebagai single pertama dan “Suara Hati” dipilih sebagai single kedua. Baru empat bulan dirilis, penjualannya telah mencapai 80.000 (delapan puluh ribu) kopi. Jumlah yang cukup signifikan jika dibandingkan dengan album pertama yang ‘telah’ mendapatkan platinum (150.000 kopi) dalam hitungan waktu satu setengah tahun.
Pada tahun 2005, Ungu menjadi salah satu artis yang berkolaborasi dengan Chrisye di album terbaru Chrisye, “Senyawa”.
Album Melayang dirilis Desember 2005. Di albumnya yang ketiga dengan single “Demi Waktu”, Ungu mendapat double platinum. Dengan hits Demi Waktu mengantarkan Ungu jadi MTV Exclusive Artis di bulan Desember 2005. Gaung “Demi Waktu” merambah negeri Jiran, Malaysia. Empat perusahaan label berebut untuk mendapatkan hak edar di sana. SRC, perusahaan yang menaungi Siti Nurhaliza akhirnya keluar sebagai pemenang.
Ungu mengeluarkan sebuah mini album untuk menyambut Ramadhan 1427 H bertajuk SurgaMu yang dirilis September 2006. Hanya dalam tempo sepuluh hari sejak rilis mini album SurgaMu, telah terjual sebanyak 150 ribu keping. Bahkan Wakil Presiden Yusuf Kalla memberi penghargaan ‘Inspiring’ atas album religi SurgaMu. Sayangnya, saat hendak menerima penghargaan di istana Wapres, Ungu yang mengenakan setelah jas yang dipadu celana jeans ditolak masuk ke dalam istana, dengan alasan pakaian yang tak sesuai dengan protokoler istana.
Dalam Penghargaan MTV Indonesia 2006, Ungu masuk dalam 3 nominasi, yaitu Most Favorite Group/Band/Duo, Best Director “Demi Waktu” Abimael Gandy, dan Video of the Year “Demi Waktu”.[7]
Ungu dengan dukungan “A Mild Live Productions” dan “Trinity Optima Productions” membuat buku biografi. Buku yang diberi judul “A Mild Live Ungu Book Magazine” itu diluncurkan pada Kamis, 10 Mei 2007, di Jakarta.[8] Dicetak sebanyak 40 ribu eksemplar, buku tersebut memuat biografi masing-masing personil, diskografi Ungu, foto-foto, dan bahkan chord lagu-lagu Ungu.
Ungu juga sering terlibat dalam pembuatan album soundtrack. Ungu pernah menyumbangkan lagu untuk film Buruan Cium Gue yang dilarang edar. Ungu pun menyumbangkan 3 buah lagu untuk film Coklat Stroberi yakni dua lagu baru, “Disini Untukmu” dan “Sahabatku”, serta mengikutkan lagu “Berjanjilah” dari album ketiga mereka Melayang.
Dalam ajang “SCTV Music Awards 2007″ di Balai Sidang Jakarta (JHCC), Ungu mendapat 4 kemenangan. Album SurgaMu yang diproduseri Trinity/Prosound membawa Ungu menjadi penerima penghargaan ‘Album Religi’, ‘Lagu Paling Ngetop’ dan ‘Video Klip Paling Ngetop’ untuk lagu “Andai Kutahu”. Sedangkan Melayang dengan lagu andalan “Tercipta Untukmu” memenangkan kategori ‘Album Pop Rock Duo/Grup’.
Ungu kembali merilis album reguler keempatnya bertajuk Untukmu Selamanya. Album ini di-launching di empat negara sekaligus, yaitu 9 Agustus 2007 di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 10 Agustus 2007 di Singapura, 12 Agustus 2007 Hongkong dan puncaknya 15 Agustus 2007 di Jakarta, Indonesia. Lagu andalan dalam album ini antara lain, “Kekasih Gelapku”, “Cinta dalam Hati”, “Apalah Arti Cinta” dan “Ijinkan Aku”.
Menyambut Ramadhan 1428 H, Ungu merilis album religi lagi yang berbentuk mini album bertajuk Para Pencari-Mu. Dalam album ini Ungu berkolaborasi dengan ustad Jeffry Al Buchori.[13] Album ini hanya berisi lima lagu, yaitu “Para PencariMu”, “Sembah Sujudku”, “Surga Hati”, “Sesungguhnya”, dan “Tuhanku”. Sebelum mini album ini dirilis, tiga dari lima lagu telah terpilih sebagai soundtrack sinetron religi yang tayang selama Bulan Ramadhan.
Ungu kembali meraih penghargaan untuk kategori ‘Band Ngetop’ di ajang SCTV Awards 2007, yang berlangsung di JCC Senayan Jakarta, Jumat, 24 Agusutus 2007. Dalam ajang itu, Ungu berhasil menyisihkan grup band lainnya, seperti Ada Band, Peterpan, Radja, dan pendatang baru yang mendadak populer, Kangen Band. Pada tahun 2007, Ungu bersama Samsons dan Naff, dijuluki ‘The Rising Star’ band oleh penyelenggara konser musik akbar Soundrenaline, A Mild Live Productions dan Deteksi Productions, juga oleh raksasa label rekaman Musica Studio.
Kasus
Ketenaran, selain membawa penggemar yang banyak, juga menimbulkan dampak negatif. Seringkali konser Ungu ‘memakan’ korban. Saat konser di Mojokerto, Jawa Timur, 30 Maret 2006, puluhan wanita pingsan. Sembilan bulan kemudian, tepatnya 19 Desember 2006, konser “Popcoholic with Ungu” di Stadion Widya Mandala Krida, Kedungwuni, Pekalongan berakhir dengan kericuhan yang mengakibatkan 10 orang meninggal dunia dan enam lainnya luka serius karena terinjak-injak dan kekurangan oksigen ketika puluhan ribu orang berdesakan keluar usai menyaksikan konser mereka.
Dibawah ini video salah satu lagu dr album mereka untuk selamanya yang berjudul” waktu yang dinanti”
Just stumbled on this album which won’t drop on March 9, 2010.
the morning benders is a indie pop/rock band from Berkeley, California.
The members consist of:
Chris Chu
Jon Chu
Julian Harmon
Tim Or
Listening to the whole album, very blown away on how great this album is.
Full of great indie pop/rock with a bit of that Beach Boys sound.
Not sure if one track “Cold War (Nice Clean Fight) if they were being political and being anti-war.
From what I read on how they made this album.
It took them eleven days to make this album with Chris Chu and Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bears producing it.
With ten tracks, it wants you leaving more.
Best tracks:
Excuses
Video by Yours Truly
Promises
Cold War (Nice Clean Fight)
Hand Me Downs
Mason Jars
All Day Daylight
Stitches
Sleeping In
The band will be making a stop in Canada.
The dates are:
April 14, 2010 – The Drake Hotel – Toronto
April 15, 2010 – La Sala Rossa – Montreal
Regular visitors to my blog will know that I have been championing the up-and-coming Swedish talent Erik Hassle for an awful long time now, and so I am delighted that his debut album, Pieces, has finally been released here in the UK!
As usual, I have compiled a song-by-song album ‘review’ / set of quick notes taken whilst I was listening through:
Bump In The Road
My absolute favourite Hassle song – loved it since first hearing it last year! One of my stand-out songs of 2009.
Hurtful
His first widely promoted single in the UK – unfortunately this track came in at a rather disappointing #59 in the UK charts, which I really think doesn’t do it justice! He’s been doing even more promo since then, so hopefully his next single will fare better!
Don’t Bring Flowers
Another favourite of mine, a funky baseline to it and a little bit Calvin Harris-esque in vocal, though with an over-familiar sounding synth sample (Hurtful anyone?).
Isn’t It Obvious
A nice little song with some awesome sweet/tender lyrics – but as is always the case, an album track I think.
The Thanks I Get
Piano track (I love a prominent piano!), very stripped back song, another nice album track. A little strange… it seems to be a rather bitter-sweet lyric, but there’s never the ‘explosion’ of emotion/music that I as a listener really wanted.
Standing Where You Left Me
I love the synths on this track – it has me wanting to dance from the outset. Edgier vocal, anthemic chorus – potential single?
Bitter End
(sorry, no YouTube!)
Nice ‘laid-back’ sounding track, I really like the sound of the bridge on the track.
First Time
This is a rather catchy song, another potential single I think. I love the guitar riff and the lyrics are rather sensual – ha!
Love Me To Pieces
Not too sure on this track, it seems to go off to one side, and then go off to another – quite a disruptive listening experience. Kudos for the (albeit brief) prominent violin notes about half way in!
Wanna Be Loved
A great 80s synth-pop sound to the verses of this track, and a nice simple catchy little chorus.
Back to Bed
Another guitar track that gives a fairly jarred listening experience, especially with the timing being a little strange on the track, but I think it’ll grow on me.
Amelia
Raw guitar track – love it a lot!! Really showcases his voice well.
All in all, I thought that this was a rather good first album (with Bump In The Road being the stand-out track). I hope that he is able to garner a lot more success as his career progresses – this chap is clearly very talented and it would be a travesty if he wasn’t able to break through into the UK charts and achieve some recognisable success!
For those who would like to have a proper listen to the album before purchasing a copy, it has just been made available to all membership tiers on Spotify.
Also well worth a visit is Erik’s official website - especially as he’s quite ‘hands on’ with the online community/fan base.
Recently, my homeboy Dave (aka. D-Hurt, aka. fuck-you-and-yo’-city) loaned me a CD by Korean musician Han Hee Jeong, Vol. 1: your document, and I peeped it right away. Though it was nothing outside of this world, it grabbed me right away because she has a very mellow but moving voice and creates a good atmosphere in her songs with
varied instrumentation.
Sometimes she flirts closely to a mainstream sound in certain sections, but in general it’s pretty fresh. The instrumentation itself isn’t wholly amazing (i was dying for an electric guitar solo in some places, but that’s just me), it’s very atmospheric and at least not typical. It’s really her melodies that make her work exciting, though. They move around in all the right places and are catchy too, even when slow and soothing.
Here is a song off the album. I couldn’t find my favorite because i don’t know how to type out the Korean but this will do as an introduction to anyone else:
I was a bit surprised about the style of music, I had thought i’d be something else judging by the cover, but she’s a serious musician. I always also surprised to find out that she wrote, arranged, and produced the album. I’m not sure if she couldn’t get a legit producer, but i’m a little dubious about people producing their own albums sometimes (unless the record label is offering you some mainstream hack that will limit you), but she did a good job over-all.

So of course we had to pay tribute to the remarkable artist and entertainer, Michael Jackson. Whether he was disliked or loved.. his message was simple: Spread Love. Producer, Ken Ehrlich told ET’s Kevin Frazier,
“The people that we picked to perform this 3D version of ‘Earth Song’ are the people that I really feel Michael would have wanted to be there — Celine Dion, who was always one of Michael’s favorites. Carrie Underwood, who we talked about the night that I met with him. Usher, who we know he loved. Smokey Robinson, his mentor. And Jennifer Hudson, who performed at the memorial service that we did, but was also someone that Michael really admired a lot.”
Lady Gaga with her heel-less heels and outrageous wardrobe presents “Pokerface” with a following performance with Elton John. This chick stands out for sure with her many many outfits… but the world loves her music regardless.
And finally, Beyonce. {smile} I thought her performance was amazing… a little bit too much at the end with the head banging lol.. but awesome nevertheless. She really put her all into this one and it was probably one of her best live performances in her career thus far. Check it out.. if you missed it.
With The Eye Of A Skeptic… – Bill Price (Grass Magoops Records)
This is old time Country dance, girl boy harmonies against a roots rocking band led by the jubilant skitter of the Cittern (a sort of large bodied mandolin.) This is not all though; this is the personal political, the thoughtful, the wishful, the dreamer making songs, the watcher singing.
We hear about the Junkman who learns about life in the bits and pieces he collects, the secrets we throw away without even knowing it. We debate within a blues swing room about the soul of modern art then to the strains of a lilting lullaby like tune we are taken flying.
In his dreams, in this flight years roll by jumbled, villains are given the chance to be heroes , history is scrambled and re-sighed re-written hope is rescued from the cynic’s prison.
Price may see these things, these choices, with the eye of a skeptic, but his belief in good, in the right decisions maybe being made, the fact that the future is really fragile and can be broken into something beautiful is what makes this collection a gift.
In the song ‘’Foot In The Dirt’’ the simple act, the lucid description of how it feels..Just to cast away the heavy of the day and ..Walk, touches this listener because that escape has often been MY escape too.
So jump slow and jump calm into these songs and stories, get caught up in the seemingly effortless virtuoso playing of all involved and welcome this gentle raconteur into your home.

Analog Love – Cassis and the Sympathies (Wunderblumenmusik)
Benign, serene coming down from the clouds willfully we slow dive into Analog Love, a neon lit lounge, default setting on sultry, though soon enough we allow the lady to take our hand and dance us into a wide open cinema land.
This is new wave old romantic, ambient, impulsive, addictive, a darker Julee Cruise, a content Nico, still slightly dangerous, a sweetly lethal bubblegum, deep blue tripping over the rhythm disguised as sighs.
There is that skewed perspective that Lydia Lunch gave on Queen Of Siam, though this time the chanteuse is backed by a mixture of Yello and seemingly old time wicked jazz musicians playing for their souls.
In these songs disturbing desire is just, always JUST, a finger click away. These are invitations to a languid version of Hell, an acceptably edgy version of Heaven. Piano and Accordion entice and bewitch in the guise of slick warped ballads, tears and escape, they urge us to close our eyes and
Sink.
A cool journey away from the modern normal.

Hear Tracks from BOTH these albums on the NBT Podcast going out on the 23rd Feb 2010
EMERGENCE
Another addition to the ever growing Big Scary Monsters roster of indie talent, Tall Ships from Falmouth have released a limited run screen printed debut EP that sold out before they knew it on pre-orders alone. I’m usually a fan of the BSM catalogue, so it’s always nice to hear something new.
I am in love with Pomplamoose. What else can I say?
Just stumbled on this album which won’t drop on March 9, 2010.
