Opening tracks

I was sat on a train, thinking... You can learn a lot about a band by how they start an album. And then I thought... I should write a blog about that. So I am.
When you think about it, people can recognise an album by the first track. In the bygone era of the CD, I used to bring my new cd back, and listen to the whole lot start to finish. No single tracks like itunes has recently afforded us. So here we go, my favorite album starters, with vids if I can find them.

Roll up and shine - Stereophonics - Performance and Cocktails

Airbag - Radiohead - OK Computer


Loser - Beck - Mellow Gold


Godless - Dandy Warhols - 13 Tales from Urban Bohemia



And one final thing... I never realised how much the standard 'Muse Ballad' owes to this song...

Hey girl...

Hey boy

Covers...

Here are a few youtube vids of covers I like...





Enjoy...
Any more covers feel free to add them in comments...

Byebye

Oh yeah, a tune for y'all too



Enjoy!

Any americans

Unlikely I know, but any americans who stumble across this, remember to vote, and more importantly vote Obama. Queues will be horrible, machines will be rigged, so come prepared. Be sure to take a garden chair and some food for the queue, try get the day/afternoon off. In the traditionally republican areas there will be more booths, and less queues, but stick at it. Any problems you have should be emailed to the election commission people, videos of queues can be emailed too. Show them what you think. If McCain gets in it will be a crime, Obama for president and lets try end the republican regime. Lets stop the republican smear campaign on Obama, stop the slander calling him a 'babykiller', stop the white supremacists voting in numbers against a man who's only crime is the colour of his skin. Please.

Well good god damn, and other such phrases.

So here it is, the music I have been listening to this week... Let me know what you think of it, and also feel free to add links to anything you've been listening to in the comments section!

Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - The Beat that my heart skipped
Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou shalt always kill
Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Letter from God (Sampling Planet Telex by Radiohead)
Os Mutantes - A Minha menina
Dandy Warhols - Shakin'
Modeselektor - Black Block (Turn up the Bass!)
M.I.A - Bamboo Banga
Dresden Dolls - Girl Anachronism
Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches

All Dan Le Sac is from the album 'Angles'. Buy it, its quite fantastic. They are touring too - dates can be found here.

Ciao for now!

Hey there

Hey, I figured I'd make this blog, so that I could send out some cool music seeing as LSR didn't like my show idea!
I'm a guy from Leeds, UK. I like Music. I've made this, because there aren't enough ways for people to plug their own music, or music they like, without resorting to Myspace.
So here it is. I'm gonna list some tracks which I like, or think are cool. I'll try youtube link them if I can. And you guys add anything you like in the comments. List one coming soon.
