post Jennings | Doorway and Surrender

October 23rd, 2009

Storybook EP cover

Hauntingly soulful is one description that come to mind when listening to Jennings.

“She has this big, gorgeous voice that is full of timbre and character and makes you want to listen over and over again.”
Wildy Haskell - Wildy’s World

Influenced by Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos, Mary Jennings has a voice that captures the listener and doesn’t let go. The Nashville singer/songwriter brilliantly mixes piano driven pop with soulful singing and a touch of electronica. This eclectic mix of genres had Cabaret Voltaire’s Chris Watson remark:

“If Moby and Alicia Keys had a child, I believe it would be [her].”

I would say Jennings is what Amy Lee (Evanescence) would sound like if she made a pop album. Haunting beautiful vocals that you can’t get out of head.

Here’s the video for the single “Doorway” from the Jennings 2009 Storybook EP

post Casxio | Seventeen (video)

My absolute favorite jam band from Southern California, Casxio, are heading to New York for C.M.J. Fest and would share their showcase dates with you.

October 7 - The Shore - Hermosa Beach, CA
October 18 - Cinespace - Official Release Party
October 20 - Piano’s - Music Slut CMJ Party - 158 Ludlow St. NY 10002 (Casxio @ 6:00pm)
October 21 - Southpaw - The Rumble CMJ Party - 125 5th Ave. 11217 (Brooklyn) (Casxio @ 9:30pm)
October 22 - ASCAP Official CMJ Showcase - 285 West Broadway 10013 (Casxio @ 8:30pm)
October 23 - Norwood - High Rise/The:Hours Meet & Greet - 241 West 14th Street 10011

Inspired by the soulful falsetto balladry of classic icons as diverse as Curtis Mayfield, and Hall & Oates, Casxio’s aim is to “be more than just a friend to you” -Bringing the intensity and emotion back into a world where pop has become stagnant and disposable, this West Coast four-piece revives the timeless soul and funk feeling we’ve been long since waiting for.

Here is the new video for “Seventeen” - it’s oddly compelling…

“Seventeen” will be available digitally October 20, 2009 (The:Hours)

So this is what everyone was waiting for?? It’s aiiiittteee.. The beat is unoriginal & boring, apparently Drake & Weeze didn’t get the D.O.A. memo, Kanye & Em came with dope verses.

sidenote: I’ll forever use this picture of Drake on his posts from this point forward, it’s just hilarious.

post Mew - “Introducing Palace Players” (MP3 + Official Music Video) and “Beach”

August 5th, 2009

Mew

Danish pop-rock/indie innovators Mew are set to release their new full-length CD, No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is Grey I’m Tired Let’s Wash Away (perhaps the longest album title in awhile, right?) on August 25.

The first single from the album, “Introducing Palace Players” exhibits the band in a new and improved form. Extracting their pop sensibilities from the now classic record, Frengers, and utilizing their aptitude for incorporating tinges of shoegaze into their works, the new CD demonstrates a mature sound that is not likely to disappoint new and old listeners alike. On a personal note, I really can’t get over how well the band hybridizes seemingly prog-rock time changes and mathiness with an extremely accessible pop outer.

Here’s the official music video for “Introducing Palace Players”:

Some dates on the band’s upcoming tour in support of the new record, including dates with NINE INCH NAILS on their farewell tour:

Aug 22 2009 8:00P
Paradise Rock Club Boston, Massachusetts
Aug 24 2009 8:00P
Music Hall of Williamsburg Brooklyn, New York
Aug 26 2009 8:00P
Terminal 5 with NIN NYC, New York
Aug 28 2009 8:00P
Aragon with NIN Chicago, Illinois
Aug 29 2009 8:00P
Aragon with NIN Chicago, Illinois
Aug 30 2009 8:00P
Virgin Festival Orillia, Ontario
Sep 1 2009 8:00P
Troubadour Los Angeles, California
Sep 2 2009 8:00P
Palladium with NIN Los Angeles, California
Sep 3 2009 8:00P
The Henry Fonda Theatre with NIN Los Angeles, California
Sep 4 2009 8:00P
The Independent San Francisco, California

Also included in this post is another snippet from the new record, “Beach”. The song is a strong contrast to the single, and like the title emanates, it’s definitely one to relax/cruise to.

Los Angeles-based disc jockey extraordinaire, Troublemaker, has recently posted a remix of the single “Nothing to Worry About” from everybody’s favorite Swedish indie darlings, Peter Bjorn & John. In light of giving the already dope song a little twist, the remix features Adam Tensta, UNI & The 87 STICK UP KIDS. Definitely worth a look.

I’m hoping this isn’t the lead single of Usher’s new album…  the track has that 808 sound that has been crazy popular lately, but the rest of the track is pretty lackluster. I’m sure he has some tricks in his bag, he always does right by the R&B/Pop scene…

post “Kanye West” | Gay Fish (mp3)

April 9th, 2009

sp_kanye.jpg

I was trying to avoid the whole Southpark “Kanye West, Gay Fish” episode in favor for some more substantive content, but since the “Gay Fish” mp3 was dropped by the creators of Southpark figured it would be a good listen!

Oh and check out the humbled Kanye’s response… You wouldn’t think he’d respond like Southpark portrayed he would, did you?

SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT’S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF “I TOLD YOU SO!!!” IT’S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU’RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE’S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I’M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I’M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I’M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I’M SURE THERE’S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS… THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW IT’S ME! - Kanye via KanyeUniversecity

Gay Fish video after the jump!
