ABC - Traffic


I've been listening to an original line-up of 80s, ABC! The new album comes with great twelve track, an effective record name, 80s style pop music. "TRAFFIC is 12 brand new songs, and in 2008 it's a real privilege to be able to compete after 25 years of making music," Martin Fly says. My first impression is "charming".

ABC - The Very First Time

Stephen Duffy

Post of 80s' effect never ends on this blog. Spandau Ballet, Soft Cell, Modern English can be remarkable names having similarity with Stephen Duffy. Especially original synth pop sound, stupid, saucy lyrics like "Kiss me with your mouth.", touchy male voice are all up in the song Kiss Me. One of Stephen Duffy's the most colourful tracks, works to settle down to your memory. More you listen Kiss ME, more you'll love exploring his music.

Stephen Duffy - Kiss Me

Melvins - Houdini

My posts light your way pop to rock, r&b to soul, avant-garde to metal music. I don't like those categories, i only listen to music as if it's original without leaving the main idea. When it comes to your favorite records or bands, it's not easy to count all of them with less words. However i can say that Melvins is the most unique band makes me love black music, hard music, guitar solos and darkness. Houdini offers flawless play to your ears, it's not fulfilled with moanings like in some exhausting type of metal music that they call death metal, black metal. Goin' Blind which was written previously by Gene Simmons (of Kiss) is Houdini's keytrack with Honey Bucket and amazing closing track Spread Eagle Beagle. Do yourself a favor, and have Houdini!

Say Hi - The Wishes and the Glitch

Once upon a time, there was an indie rock band named with Say Hi To Your Mom. Time after time, their name changed to Say Hi to say more hey to their listeners. That was not enough to make happy indie kids. They released a sweet record, The Wishes and the Glitch. The opening was good with Northwestern Girls and the following nice tune was Shakes Her Shoulders. You could expect more from this band. This album was loveable, but all of the indie music was boring in the end.

Just my silly opinions, The Wishes and the Glitch is pleasing! As always I'll post a standout song.

New Music

My computer has broken down, and i couldn't post about any of those amazing new records. I've been listening to The Tiger Lillies' new cabaret shit Seven Deadly Sins, a very theatrical like previous Tiger Lillies albums. Have you ever heard about Firewater, a gypsy-like indie rock band! They wrote and recorded a new record [The Golden Hour] with the help of local musicians and other miscreants. Tamir Muskat (Firewater, Balkan Beat Box) produced it. You can watch about the singer of Firewater travel on youtube.

In Ghost Colours, most of you should hear about this record, a brand new Cut Copy record. It sound good, but it rapes lots of Human League, Lcd Soundsystem and Daft Punk. If you try to show me 80s music catalog again, i still prefer Boy George, Human League. Please please don't copy my favorite bands (crying!). Ok! Cut Copy's In Ghost Colours offers almost the most beautiful new indie thing.
Cut Copy - Lights And Music

M83 is another great thing that i've discovered recently. Noisy, powerful and experimental rock music. Let me die in your arms! From Saturdays = Youth record:
M83 - Kim & Jessie

And also i've listened a lot of The Smiths
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, But heaven knows I'm miserable now.

Something for the ears

My Brightest Diamond - A Thousand Shark's Teeth

I wanted to mention about A Thousand Shark's Teeth, but i hadn't enough time to listen to it. however the opener track "Inside A Boy" deserves a strong mention. Opener and first single “Inside A Boy” is classic Diamond, slippery guitars meet with gorgeous strings and Shara’s powerhouse voice. Meloncholy and Noise are in the same garden of music, you can like or not, but the guitar chords and sweetest vocal performance gets value for my ears. I want to sing with her everytime i play this song. Solid!

My Brightest Diamond - Inside A Boy

Ladytron - Velocifero

Velocifero definitely sounds like Ladytron. Danceable, sad and glittering. Velocifero has some electronic elements in the sound spinning around some Gary Numan, Human League and Kraftwerk. First six tracks are nearly the most sharp Ladytron works. After, it becomes darker, and it sounds quite good. If you look other indie pop, electronic combo from the year, Ladytron may be the only recognizable name. A standout piece of electronic pop song, Season Of Illusions summers that, this band won't stop releasing albums like 604, Light & Magic and Witching Hour. They're all great, and have enough power to break into mainstream music. Fantastic!
Ladytron - Black Cat

James - Hey Ma

OOOOOOooooooooo! tim booth tim booth. Dance of the bad angels. Booth. Hey Ma! Morrissey's ringleader of the tormenters was a big diss... for me. Hey Ma is the only hope to love britpop again. Where are songs like bittersweet symphony, girl afraid, laid? The songwriting is dead or i'm deaf? I want new The verve record, who will send it to me? Questions are going to stop? Boom boom. Moby, play that fuc*ing song for the last time. As you can see, writing reviews can be so depressing at times.

Chart climbers this week

1. Sam Sparro – Black & Gold
Sam Sparro is the best new single of week. I bet you like Black & Gold tune, sweet song, and also it's one of the best music video i've seen this year. I was reading his influences list which contains wide range of great names: Justice, The Avalanches, Portishead, Kraftwerk, Air, Amy Whinehouse, Serge Gainsbourg, Burt Bacharach, Kelis, Nina Simone, Steely Dan, MIA and check out his myspace page. He loves music!

2. Britney Spears - Break The Ice
Repeating Break the Ice, the song grabs my attention. Why? Because i love her. Break The Ice Video. Read my Blackout review.

3. Madonna [ft. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland] - 4 Minutes
Sex, music and dance!



4. Natasha Bedingfield feat Sean Kingston – Love Like This
Madonna and Timberlake's 4 Minutes can beat this, ya! This is more boring than new the hitest Madonna Justin collaboration. [Love Like This Video]

5. Isis - Holy tears
It seems a bit strange when a list comes with r&b and metal music at the same time. That's because you can find some worthy melody in any form of music. Holy tears is a great metal track.[ Holy Tears Video Youtube ]

6. Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction
I know this is not a brand new Dogg cut, i've discovered it recently. The song goes well on a monotone day.[ Sensual Seduction on Youtube ]

7. Foo Fighters - Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up is Running)

8. Scouting For Girls – Heartbeat

9. Blood Red Shoes - Say Something Say Anything

10. Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape
Worst, worst and worst song evah! [Watch video]

Diamanda Galas - Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!


With her explosive, four-octave voice has found regularly darker themes, Diamanda Galás performs Guilty Guilty Guilty (2008) ; a new live music collection of tragic and homicidal love songs and death songs, from O. V. Wright’s 8 Men And 4 Women to Timi Yuro’s Time; and Johnny Cash’s Long Black Veil to Edith Piaf’s Heaven Have Mercy. Don't wait for full moon to be afraid, Galas brings the most gruesome atmosphere with her imponderable vocals. She's been described as "capable of the most unnerving vocal terror", you want more?

Deus - Vantage Point

Vantage Point leaks with great impression on me! Vantage Point is set to out on April 21st! You can check their Myspace page. I also know that you love to steam albums before release dates, so what are your opinions about Vantage Point? In my opinion, it's been a solid dEUS record, Favourite game, The Architect and When She Comes Down are my favorite songs for now.
