The ninth track from new Polly Jean Harvey Record is the best single of this week. The song is called The Piano, its mellow atmosphere which hides some anger inside of it. At the end of the track, all anger, missing come out from Pj Harvey's bitter voice, repeating "Oh God I miss you" several times. This is short and polished adult contemporary song. However, do not expect too much from lyrics they're simple, but you can put your music list where you can help the beauty of song to come out. Nobody's listening / Nobody's listening / Nobody's listening. Is it the truth of life? Yes, nobody's listening.

I was having good time with some of my friends. I don't know if told you about my music obsession when i'm outside. Ha! It's just like being hungry. Simply i'm hungry for music even if i'm at bus, at a restaurant or bar. Well i'm looking for my cds like a little kid. Let's back to my story, i was having good time, talking, laughing, eating. Suddenly something help me to realize the song on my mp3 player. My Egyptian Grammar by The Fiery Furnaces, and i took my mp3 player from my bag, and put the headphones, started to listening in front of my friends. One of my friends was like a little duck which wants to attack to a white dressed pride. That was so funny, and this was the necessary influence of this band. I couldn't explain this, even i'd tried to advice for a The Fiery Furnaces listen to them. No sir, they really don't know anything about music. That was joke, go and listen your music. I loveeeeee this so much! One of the best indie rock bands in last ten years.

The Fiery Furnaces - The Philadelphia Grand Jury
The Fiery Furnaces - Duplexes Of The Dead

New Goldfrapp album Seventh Tree starts slowly. Like watching a flower growing,  the songs play softly. It sounded quite dull at my first listen. However, I love their most of the previous songs. It is up to you like this album or not. Because Goldfrapp warned us on their myspace:

"It's very different to [2005's] 'Supernature,' so it might come as a bit of a shock to some of you," said Goldfrapp's Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory on the band's MySpace page. "We had fun making it and loved doing something that is in complete contrast to the last album, even though sometimes it took a bit of courage to steer as far away as we did on some of the tunes."

'loved doing something that is in complete contrast'
This sentence makes me worried. It sounds to me that their songs can be something you may not like. I can only disappoint you, but in my opinion Seventh Tree sucks. Everyone is different. So, you decide if you like it or not.  However, I loved the two songs  'Cologne Cerrone Houdini' and the closing track 'Clowns'.
By the way, The first single to be taken from the new Goldfrapp album Seventh Tree is A&E.

Goldfrapp - A&E
Goldfrapp - Cologne Cerrone Houdini (MM pick)

1. John Vanderslice - White Dove
Vanderslice kicks all those shitty indie rock sounds, and creates something terribly effective with his songs on Emerald City. Keep your speakers' volume on high, because no song will effect your brain like this, pure listening.

2. Of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit
I guess it would be nice to give my heart to a god \ But which one, which one do I choose? \ All the churches fill with losers, psycho or confused \ I just want to hold the divine in mind \ And forget all of the beauty's wasted. Confused lyrics and poppy sound draws a new direction to Of Montreal's music. It's been really great song, i want to dance to this everytime i hear.

3. Band Of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You
A delicious alternative country sound, an emotional vocal contrubuting, dreamy arrangements come from 2007's one of the best albums Cease To Begin.


4. Patrict Wolf - Augustine/ Magpie
We discovered entertaining side of indie rock with John Vanderslice, and we danced to Of Montreal's Gronlandic Edit. Now, we need to listen some young star which keeps our eyes wet. Of course this name should be Patrict Wolf with his Augustine and Magpie (feat. Marianne Faithfull) from The Magic Position album.


5. Fiery Furnaces - Cabaret Of The Seven Devils/ My Egyptian Grammar
A strange song that i wanted to put the list, this is Fiery Furnaces, interestingly odd and unfamiliar. You should play this song along with My Egyptian Grammar which is another song from thier latest record Widow City. Oh god, this is so great music. At the end this is wonderful music.


6. Jens Lekman - Sipping On The Sweet Nectar
His Night Falls Over Kortedala is so mellow record, and it's his best yet.


7. Blonde Redhead - Top Ranking
Blonde Redhead are always welcome to our best of list, they're hard-working and their every record is great. Top Ranking should make this list.

8. Chris Conelly - Son of Empty Sam

9. The National - Brainy

10. Panda Bear - Bros

11. Rihanna feat Jay-Z – Umbrella
This is not cheap pop music, i can give my word. On the other hand this is not influencial.

12. Battles - Leyendecker
Maybe, Mixing this great experimental rock song to a disco floor dance song would be awesome. Anyhow this is the standout Battles cut from their post-modern Mirrored record.

13. Animal Collective - Peacebone

14. Feist - My Moon My Man

15. M.I.A. – Jimmy

16. Arcade Fire – Ocean of Noise

17. LCD Soundsystem – Get Innocuous!
The heavily chorused voices that suggest backward-masking in the opener "Get Innocuous" and the captivating harmonics keyboardist Nancy Whang.

18. Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

19. The Shins - Sea Legs

20. Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Radiohead become every teenage's supernatural depressing rock band, In Rainbows doesn't offer something beautifully shocking like previous Ok Computer or The Bends. Still Jigsaw Falling Into Place calls your good and bad memories back, a strong tune.

The "tour edition" of the album features studio takes on "The Thanks I Get", "Let's Not Get Carried Away", and "One True Vine", plus live renditions of "Impossible Germany" and "Hate It Here" recorded in September at the Fillmore in Denver. It'll be available commercially in stores all throughout the UK and Europe from Nonesuch December 12.

Video Flashback!
Radiohead's Idioteque
Inspired by Radiohead's prophetic song, a group of Brooklynites collaborated in November of 2001 to create this mashup video that uses photography, archival and news footage, as well as advertising to show a powerful interpretation of global events before and since 9/11. Footage and images from "Here is New York," television news and archives, and the film Baraka.

Keane performing a cover of the famous Queen song, "Under Pressure". It's maybe not as good as the original, but it's a great cover, i can give my word. Keane grows on me each day, they're great pop band in my view. While covering songs like "Under Pressure", nobody can't make it better than the original version. As always i'm saying that Tom Chaplin has such an amazing voice and other members have such a good talent in playing music! So you should check out this!

Keane - Under Pressure (Queen Cover)

Rating: 6.5/10
Darla is proud to offer a new record from Japancakes - Athens, GA's incomparable instrumental Pop/Americana quintet. If you asked me to cover a record, My Bloody Valentine's classic effort Loveless would be a perfect choice. Japancakes did smart job, yeah they did it. Because you can find all love within this record except Kevin Shields' voice. Drugy and cloudy opener Only Swallow melts in Japancakes' hands. It's decorated with bitter cello, also end of the song is amazing, it recalls Antony and the Johnsons Hope There's Someone final. Some of them worked like a charm. Some of them didn't work at all. For example, a Sometimes cover will always work, because it's a truly perfect composition of MBV. A cover record won't be perfect, never, anyway it's one of those nice instrumental record you can sleep by its side.

Japancakes - Only Shallow (MM Pick)

A live cover song from

Label: Polyvinyl
MM Rating: 9/10

Ohio's experimental rock quartet Aloha consists of guitarist/vocalist Tony Cavallario, bassist Matthew Gengler, multi-instrumentalist/percussionist Eric Koltnow, and drummer Cale Parks. With thier new EP Light Works , Aloha combines the purest form of post rock music, and this is why they sound both experimental and pop at the same time. Since thier critically acclaimed debut That's Your Fire, they use less complex drumming, complex lyrics, and make the music stronger with limpid vocals of Tony Cavallario. This is the music that i can be fan of, because discovery consists of people's nature. Discovering beauty of educated music is the main goodness why this is my recommended music. These seven songs have indeed been a clear work.

Aloha - Body Buzz
Aloha - The End

MM Picks: Body Buzz, Passengers, The End

Part 2
Turn the Corners...
Your words have no meanings from this point, down on the street, seeing all those playing angels on the street. You can dream your favorite tune playing on the backround, if you have imagination. A dream can change everything, that time you can love whatever you want to love. Or, you break hearts which you wanted to break hard. Now you need bass guitars, strong lyrics then you can drink all night long. What could be so magicful? It's not possible listening music together, you should know that it plays only for you. Now you listen those great notas, they gave back your imagination. Once again you're happy even if music plays bitterly.

1. Tortoise & Bonnie Prince Billy - Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen)

2. Tim Hardin - It'll Never Happen Again

3. Blonde Redhead - Elephant Woman

4. Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine (Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers)

5. Cinerama - All the Things She Said (T.A.T.U. cover)

90s Romantic Songs

"Enola Gay" is a song by British synthpop band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It was written by frontman Andy McCluskey, and appears on the band's second album, Organisation (DinDisc/Virgin, 1980). It was released as a 7" single on 26 September 1980, and reached number 8 in the UK chart, also topping the charts in several European countries.

The song has been covered several times in 2007. Swedish artist Sommarkillen made a cover of the song called Sommartjej with new Swedish lyrics; the Danish electro-pop trio, Oliver North Boy Choir (formerly called Pierre)also recorded it. This track was posted on many MP3 blogs. In June 2007, José Galisteo released his cover of it on his debut album, Remember.

The song is named for the USAAF B-29 Superfortress which dropped the "Little Boy" atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, ostensibly to bring an end to the Second World War.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Enola gay

One of the pivotal groups to emerge from the Liverpool neo-psychedelia community during the late '70s, the Teardrop Explodes was a showcase for Julian Cope, a notoriously eccentric figure whose unfashionable love of Krautrock and hallucinogenic drugs set him distinctly apart from the prevailing punk mentality of the era. A band who only officially released two albums in their lifetime (a third, 'Everybody Wants to Shag the Teardrop Explodes' was released posthumously in 1990, while there have been several compilations 'The Collection', 'The Greatest Hit', 'Piano', & 'Zoo-Ology'). And here comes another live record "Peel Sessions Plus" in 2007, Teardrop fans will love it.

Teardrop Explodes - Like Leila Khaled Said
Teardrop Explodes - Log Cabin

New Singles
1. Shins – Sea Legs
I love The Shins, even if i don't like their Wincing The Night Away which was their the weakest record. Sea Legs is a catchy track, though.

2. Estelle - Wait a Minute
the first artist to sign to John Legend record label has more than Just a Touch of talent. This girl, Estelle reminded me TLC's Lisa Left Eye Lopez,
Rest in peace Liza.

3. The National - Apartment Story [Youtube Video]
The National are one of our champions with their drunken indie rock sound.

4. Panda Bear - Comfy In Nautica [Youtube Video]

5. Justice - D.A.N.C.E [Youtube Video]

6. Alicia Keys - No-One [Youtube Video]
From her upcoming album "As I Am", Alicia Keys touches to heart of pop music lovers once again. Strong voice makes meaningful those simple lyrics, a really great voice.

7. Jape - Floating [Youtube Video]
This song was originally released in 2004 on Jape's album 'The Monkeys In The Zoo Have More Fun Than Me'.

8. Paul McCartney – Ever Past Present [Youtube Video]
Sounds like a Crap at times! Don't ask what does this mean. I'm never going to listen this song again.

9. Seal - Amazing [Youtube Video]
Unfortunately a good voice becomes the victim of bad sounds and lyrics, this won't be charming, neither good.

10. Dizzee Rascal - Flex (live concert video)

Flashback Video:
TLC - Waterfalls
A classic hit from "Crazysexycool" in 1994.

I like this movie its the kind of movie I like to watch on a Sunday morning. One of my favorite words go in this movie. Like in life, every end comes so hard, and pathetic. You shouldn't believe in words like ' They live happy forever', because this won't happen. Love can be so bitter, it doesn't matter if it's a men or woman, love is everywhere. In the movie, you see a cross between three beautiful person Benigno, Alicia and Marco. And in time Benigno and Marco become close friends, bonding in their shared devotion to women who cannot return their affection.

Some Favorite Pedro Almodóvar Songs:

Mina - Esperame en el cielo

Rating: 9/10
Enon could be one of the most interesting bands of indie rock era, but, they only continued releasing some nice records, and unfortunatelly they couldn't reach to any gold status. If you listen to their music, you'll say what make White Stripes, The Killers or Coldplay more famous than this great rock band. They sound like crap most of time, however everybody say they're good! I want to say thing gets worse years by years on music industry. They are not able to sell many records like in the past years, live performances became the main way to earn money. And they need some backup to perform on cool places to reach more audience. I haven't recieved any mail from Enon' s record campany Touch & Go, but they should reach people like us who willing to write about these bands. Grass Geysers Carbon Clouds seems to be Enon's the most solid, danceable, loveable and enjoyable record. Sure, Believo! and High Society still exist in my favorite indie rock records archive, you should listen them!

Enon - Mirror On You
Enon - Dr. Freeze
Enon - Labyrinth

Rating: 8.5/10
I'm very happy, because here comes a great rock record from one of my favorite artists eighteen months after releasing his first ever solo album. Ray Davies, the man who beyond the famous British invasion band The Kinks. His previous "Other People's Lives"! is already included in my favorites of 2006.

Working Man’s Café is Ray Davies’ third album. By the way, do i need to mention about his success on The Kinks? I thought so, if i will mention bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones on this blog, you can shot me down. But, Ray Davies, as a solo artist needs good feed from all cool critics. I read Guardians' review, and Blogcritics' review where they know how to write reviews, and they know which bands or artists they should speak in praise of. Alright, this is a great record, one of his bests, well-written, guitar driven, exploring and glimmering. I don't even know how to say which song is good or bad. You need to listen the whole record, it completely gets your mind every new spin. I love his relax voice, yes i really love his works.

Ray Davies - Vietnam Cowboys
Ray Davies - You're Asking Me

MM Song picks: In A Moment, No One Listen, Imaginary Man
