Sam Amidon – How Come That Blood + FM Belfast Remix
The gift of music, if its the right music, will keep on giving, and giving. Thanks to our friends from FM Belfast for sharing and introducing me/us to Sam Amidon. I’m rapacious for new music and I’ve been listening to “How Come That Blood” remixed by FM Belfast since FMB Tweeted the link, and I already love it. After searching for the lyrics the song may have so many meanings, but likely allegorical as befits the season. I have also posted Sam Amidon’s album I See The Sign via bandcamp. Merry Christmas! Peace.

And Sam’s Neil Young cover is really quite good as well. Enjoy!
Nervo – We’re All No One (Video)
Lest we forget to breath. Lest we forget to smile. Lest we forget to live. Alas, dance!
Dance! Are you at your most sexy and uninhibited self today? No? Without a doubt Nervo bka Mim & Liv can help you get a “leg up” on the dance floor, i.e. bedroom, dorm room or sidewalk. It don’t matter as long as you shake dat Boo-tay! Without question the Nervo twins were big in 2010-11 and in 2012 you’ll be seeing, and hearing, a lot more of Nervo. Nothing bad about that, at all. To date Nervo is lending some “help a girl out” magic to Madonna. Plus, Nichole Scherzinger‘s forthcoming joint has been fondled by the ladies from Down Under. And of course the duo provided the electric-fingered foreplay for the Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears Femme Fatale tour over the summer. So, get up. Do some pre-dance stretching and crank “We’re All No One” to the damn sky? Peace. Continue reading “Nervo – We’re All No One (Video)”
How To Dress Well – Suicide Dream 3 (Solar Bears Remix)
Tom Krell is a painter of the abstract. Dips his brushes into the night sky, and drags horse hair across the canvas of your numbed nerve endings. What he has managed to do with so little is to construct the grandiose into small pill-sized songs. Songs much like dreams, in that after you awake, you rub the fleeting fragments out your eyes and try to reassemble them before their beauty evaporates forever. From his Just Once EP we are given “Suicide Dream,” and it’s the proverbial bullet with butterfly wings. Here it is expertly reinterpreted by Solar Bears, and boy does it leave a soft bruise on your threshing heart. I also added “Decisions,” let it coil around your ears like bejeweled vibrations, and reverberate dulcet tones within the six chambers of your delicate heart. Peace. Continue reading “How To Dress Well – Suicide Dream 3 (Solar Bears Remix)”

Poliça – Dark Star
Like so many of us the song “Dark Star” by Poliça inhabits a recognizable duality. Its public face, if not pristine, then at least scrubbed clean, makes itself presentable. By turns, it offers small cordial conversation and laughs at your inane jokes. But the private face, it is pallid and it doesn’t sleep well among the echoing ghosts haunting a disheveled parlor. “Dark Star,” in-between the brassy horns, scintillating bass, and voodoo drum-work there is the centerpiece of Channy Caselle-Leaneagh‘s voice. A voice on which this debut album draw its connective tissue and hangs flesh. Throughout every song, there is a soul with a dark mood too. It is the same mood which inhabits a song and draws you down, much like the Joy Division’s “Heart and Soul,” Peter Murphy’s “Cut You Up” or The Cure’s “Disintegration.” We all know this place, and although it appears dark, it is also a place of quiet strength. It’s very hard to resist a song like this, because it speaks to us in hushed comforting whispers. And, while we at times damn ourselves for whatever reasons, a song like this says, “I got you,” and we lean our head on its cold, yet sturdy shoulder. Peace. Continue reading “Poliça – Dark Star”
