beacon dont fly too high

m.i.c

last night i begun watching geordie shore. i switched it off after about ten minutes. and whilst id admit it was kind of entertaining it is essentially. rubbish. theres alot of bad tv showing its head at the moment. i don’t think the georgies shores plum in the mouth counterpart even needs a mention. but i do miss good got to watch tv. like skins (eps 1-4). which happily followed us through from school to uni. showing what it was to be truely cool and edgy. and bound with a great soundtrack. which leads me to this track. which sounds alot like woods by bon iver. which was used in the episode of skins when effy and freddie got together. finally. and aside from being a beautiful song. its worth a mention because of the video. half kids hanging out. half drinking spit for a cup cult. you’ll see what i mean if you watch it.

oh jack white youve done it again. another collaboration another feat of musical achievement. this time its with danger mouse. danielle luppi. and norah jones. the album came out two days ago. its been described by those that made it as a very visual album. inspired by the soundtrack work of ennio morricone. who did the score for the mission. but where the visual element really comes to life is in there interactive video for the track 3 dreams of black. it sort of takes a step further then the wilderness downtown project. by arcade fire. you can drive through the video like a game. so it its worth a listen and a look.

well if annie mac likes it..

so this would be the second swedish posting. and this one is a duo. marlin on vocals and gustaf is writing the songs. interestingly enough there is no niki. and also there is no dove. but then who said stage names had to be based on truth. la roux certainly didn’t. marlin’s theatrical ways on the stage are causing similarities being pointed to the likes of bat for lashes. and her music is good. so that’s at least two thums up. and if you are thinking. yea but what’s she really like. then go check them out. london 24^th may.
