ORGY - Blue Monday (New Order cover) > The Video!!!



Do you remember this crazy American band from the Family Values tribe?
They were called Orgy (commercial suicide if I may say). Late 90s they released "Stitches" and "Fiction". Good tracks but unfortunately not very successful in the charts.

Yet another "Blue Monday" cover.

Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl > The Video which could have appeared in Top Gear!!!



The sports cars used in this video are actually Jay's owns. Pretty cool, huh?

Heaven 17 LIVE on BBC iPlayer

Heaven 17's first album Penthouse and Pavement released in 1980 was a landmark in UK pop history combining electronica with pop hooks. Due to technological constraints the band were unable to perform the album live at the time of its release. However, to celebrate its 30th anniversary and with the advances in technology, the album was performed for the first time to a sell-out gig of over 2000 people at the Sheffield Magna Arena on 6 March 2010. Along with their hits Temptation, Let Me Go and Come Live With Me they perform Penthouse and Pavement in its entirety. 

For all UK residents, please CLICK HERE!

I don't want to spoil anything but there's a lovely surprise in it.

Enjoy!

NEW FROM SWEDEN: Kent - Idioter > Töntarna > The Official Videos!!!



Big time Kent fan. Since I don't live in Sweden anymore, it's a bit hard to keep up with them.
Their last single released is "Idioter" which basically means "Idiots". It is extract from their last album Röd is available on CDON (click HERE).

The first single released from this album was "Töntarna".



The more music they release, the more electronic they sound. I have to say, they're far from being fame whores like bloody Meatloaf - his last album was a desperate call for fame, but it's only my humble opinion, don't hate me for that!!!
They have aged gracefully and they sound great. They have perfectly embraced the technology that is now available and did a pretty good job with it!

They are currently touring in Scandinavia, for more tour dates go to their website www.kent.nu.

New Florence & The Machine - Dog Days Are Over > The Video!!!



Ok this video is the new version, the first one was a little weird. She's supposed to be a bit more commercial now so she needed a new, cleaner version right?

Great track! It just makes me want to jump up and down and get all crazy!!! :)

The best band alive!

Mumford & Sons - Roll Away Your Stone > Live at Jools Holland > The Video!

The Police - Walking On The Moon > The Official Video!!!



Sting, my hero!
I've always loved The Police from an early age. My dad would often play their albums in our car. And I've always like Sting.
Now that I'm learning to play Bass Guitar, this is one song that I've learned quite quickly. It's easy, simple and catchy!
The video is also really cool, you've got the late US 70s look and it was shot at the Kennedy Space Center! I love all that Nasa stuff. Enjoy!

Kelis - Acapella > The Official video!!!



I looooooooooooooooooooove that tune! It's played on BBC Radio 1 all the time!
It has that Mason's "Exceeder" sound that I really like and I just love Kelis.
Great track!

Calogéro - Safe Sex > The Video!!! > Ramdon French Pop-Rock!



If there was one French singer that I had to pick for this blog, it can only be Calogéro.
I don't really French music but this guy's pretty good.
"Safe Sex" isn't as explicit as its title. It just tells the story of two bodies travelling together.
My friend MOG is a complete Calogéro fan! She's seen him at least 10 times and if she ever manages to touch his hand or meet him, she might faint! Aaaaaaaaah! She's so cute!

Calo-blaireau!

Depeche Mode - Stripped & Never Let Me Down Again (101 Live) > The Videos!!!



I have discovered Depeche Mode when I was a teenager. My sister and I were watching a German music TV channel called Viva Zwei and they were playing the "Everybody Counts" live video from 101. I remember saying to my sister: "Hey! I really like that song!" and she replied "why don't you go get their album called 101?". I instantly wrote that number on my agenda. A couple of days later, my dad took me to a record shop and bought me the 101 double CD album. I was in heaven!!! I couldn't wait to get back home and listen to it. I didn't wanted to hear it in the car just in case... It could have spoiled it!!!
Once at home, rushed to my bedroom, never came back out! I was in DM heaven. Never heard anything like it in my life. It was powerful and still very complex for a live album. It was as if they were playing for me. I had found my thing and it was called Depeche Mode.
I asked around at school if anyone had heard about that band and no one did. They were way too much into girls bands and boys bands!
Still researching about that new sound, I went back to that record shop where I've found the 101 album and there it was, on the video section, 101 by D.A. Pennebacker.
At home, rushed to my parents bedroom to watch the VHS on my own, never left the room (up until they wanted to go to sleep).
I was more and more sucked into the music and having the images that goes with it, I just couldn't move away from the screen.
When they played Never Let Me Down Again, it was such a shock that I cried!
Call me Emo, call me Geek, call me whatever the hell you want, I couldn't care less.
Depeche Mode had just became my thing.



I just hope that you'll like it too.
