Soap Collectors

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.

Soap Collectors operate on myspace and muxtape.

France Gall - 1968

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 / Miike Snow

Chiddy Bang

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!

Lady Gaga did something today

 

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
July 4 – Atlantic City, NJ @ Boardwalk Hall
July 6 – New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden
July 11 – Toronto, ON @ Air Canada Centre
July 14 – Cleveland, OH @ Quicken Loans Arena
July 15 – Indianapolis, IN @ Conseco Fieldhouse
July 17 – St. Louis, MO @ Scottrade Center
July 20 – Oklahoma City, OK @ Ford Center
July 22 – Dallas, TX @ American Airlines Center
July 25 – Houston, TX @ Toyota Center

*Saturday, March 14, 2010 - 9:45 pm*

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

Tall Ships - Self Titled (2010, Big Scary Monsters)

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.

EGO TRIP

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?
Omar Khayyam

Anna Vissi – Kaiti Garbi – Kalutera oi Duo Mas – International POP Rock Music

Here is a duet with Anna Vissi and Kaiti Garbi.

Lovely voices with an international flair of dance mix, pop music.

Very relaxing to listen to first thing in the morning with a coffee, toast while blogging.

This would be great for the samba or salsa dancing?

What do you think?

New Music

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…)

Daily Fix: Pomplamoose

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.

Fusion: Velvet Daventport/Ariel Pink/Gary War

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.

Will Jennifer Lopez Return to Her Former Glory?

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.
