Do you ever dream that you are dancing like a professional dancer on a dance floor? Then, you'll fall in love with Soft Cell The Twelve Inch Singles . Oh! What a fun! I'd like to wear a mask that always looks eccentric. My favorite Soft Cell cut is So which is the closing track of Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. I know i love this song at heart, because its harmony means a lot to me, it reminds to me the

The Go! Team - Proof of Youth

'They’ve been playing this one live for a few years now, and it's become an exuberant anthem, one that evokes feelings of bliss a la The Polyphonic Spree and mixes hi-fi music with lo-fi vocals. Plus, it got people in our office moving.' Filter says about the song. I'll call this song as summer happiness or sunrise. There are other definite cuts like amazing Titanic Vandalism, first single Grip

Alphaville Singles

Named after Godard's 1959 science-fiction masterpiece and heavily influenced by '80s synth bands like Depeche Mode, Alphaville was the Munich-based trio of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Following their all-keyboards approach longer after synth-pop was fashionable but unfortunately disbanding before artists such as Mouse On Mars made Germanic synthesizer music hip again in the

Múm - Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy
2007-07-23 18:26:00
Iceland pop experimentalists Múm are ready to release another great record Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy on the Fat Cat label on September 24, 2007. But it was leaked on the internet. The album is a change from normal múm as it uses more live instruments than electronics, and there is a different lyrical style. I really do like instumental sections which are so harmonious, musically electronic.

Part I Popular Rock Hits From 90s I won't give up listening to these songs even if everyone knows them. Why you have to be someone else?

"Gloomy Sunday " (from Hungaria n "Szomoru Vasarnap", is a song written by the Hungarian self-taught pianist and composer Rezso Seress in 1933. According to urban legend, it inspired hundreds of suicides. When the song was first marketed in the United States, it became known as the "Hungarian suicide song".There is no systematic substantiation for such claims, as it is not documented where any such

Live Free Or Die Hard

This ain't the best Die Hard Serie for sure, but it's one of the best action movies of the summer. If you don't like the term 'the best', it's a nice movie you can eat popcorn with. Despite John McClane's funny jokes, it still includes the most overdone action scenes that i saw in a long time. For example, McClane learns to walk on a F-16! He also learns jumping to a long distance from the F-16.

Singles 1. Thrills - Nothing Changes Around Here I always like broken voices which show how people are different from any other living creature in the world. We're sensible! It’s a pity that some of us really don't have any emotions, even soul. They kill each other for only oil, for more land and for more money! Now that really makes us different from any animal in this world. We can also be very

Walrus/Groon is a collaborative 12" EP between Merzbow (Japanese noise musician Masami Akita) and Japanese experimental doom band Boris . And The A side is a cover of "I Am the Walrus" by The Beatles, yeah baby it's the real and noisy Lennon and McCartney devotion. I always like these kind of original ideas, like covering a rock classic with great and stylish noise rock. Not only noise rock

Singles1. The Electric Soft Parade - MisunderstandingThe song has a comfy playing, hooks are almost exploding at the end of it. Alex White moves one step forward with enormous emotional range of his vocals. Endings are important and they're more memorable than the startings, this song proves this.2. The New Pornographers - Myriad HarbourYou sometimes want to listen conservative guitar pop songs. New Pornographers offer this, if you want a taste of simple beauty.3. Brett Anderson ? Back To You (EP)Brett Anderson ain't a crap record, it was nice to hear Brett's trembling voice once again. But, the artists should give their best to make a record, especially if it's a new record.

Kristin Hersh - Hips And Makers
2007-07-05 19:25:00
Hersh dug into her backlog of compositions for material of an intensely personal nature that she felt wouldn't be suitable for her band on her solo debut. In stark contrast to her work with Throwing Muses, Hips and Makers (1994) is almost entirely acoustic. The album opener "Your Ghost" offers a magical acustic taste with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and it's the best song. And also i love the title song Hips And Makers. I love this record, what should i say more about it?Kris tin Hersh - Your Ghost (beautiful song!)Kristin Hersh - Hips And MakersYou can buy this record from 4adyou may also like:Kristin Hersh - Learn To Sing Like A Star

I listened the new Ash record today, and so i liked it, not very much. Don't get me wrong, i always try to do my best while listening to a record. The whole record is merely okay, some nice guitar hooks, college rock, pop punk, or maybe falling of a good band! A song from this brand new record named Dark And Stormy reminds an unforgatable hit song Under the Milky Way by The Church, and i first asked myself why i liked this song? The reason is simple, it's because of that beautiful Under the Milky Way. Watch The Church -Under the Milky Way on YoutubeAsh - Dark And Stormy

Propelled by the success of The Breakfast Club, the song became the band's only number-one U.S. hit (though, by all accounts, Simple Minds did not much care for it). And it still can be heard on music channels, radio stations. Don't You Forge t About Me is not that kind of hit singles, it's not one of those. Its soft play, nice lyrics, beautiful sound are absolutely memorable!Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me

Singles1. The Clash - London Calling (flashback!)Don't be surprised, unfortunately they're not coming back. But i'm not satisfied enough with the new songs below. Honestly, they are crap. Yes, you heard it right, it's very hard to find some music worth writing for these days. Not only is this hard, there is also nothing that sounds like the amazing song The Clash did before 28 years ago. Where are you hardworking artists? Or we all became the money worshippers?2. Go!

Thurston Moore - Trees Outside The Academy

Wow! Listen up Sonic Youth and Thurston Moore fans, i'm loving Trees Outside The Academy ,his first solo album since 1995 in September. Get ready for amazing guitar and violin combinations. In addition, Sonic Youth's Rather Ripped mixer John Agnello came aboard for the 12-track affair, which also features collaborations with Mascis and Charalambides' Christina Carter, who duets with Moore on "Honest James." Andrew Macgregor and noise rocker Leslie Keffer also perform on Trees Outside the Academy. This is mostly an acoustic and lyrically driven work, you'll hear nice guitar solos and instrumental noisy music from time to time, but it really is a distinctive record. I love luxury music.Thurston Moore - Frozen GtrYou may also like:Final Fantasy - He Poos CloudsPatrick Wolf - The Magic Position

This record reminds you beautiful view of sundown. The most people i know love sundown, because of that romantic air, orange sky, peaceful atmosphere. Not only orange sky theme makes I Could Live in Hope a great record, it's also fulfilled with stunning songwriting, magical guitar passages. It's is perfect for rainy days, sundays, late night, moreover it's one of that records that i want to mention about it to my best friends. Quite simply, no category can truly reveal the beauty and glory of Low's debut record I Could Live in Hope.

Super Furry Animals - Hey Venus!
2007-06-28 18:38:00
Super Furry Animals were one of the first post-alternative bands, fusing together a number of disparate musical genres, but, i don't understand why they are trying to hide the best songs on new records. Why "Show Your Hand" should be first single, it's a boring one when there are other standout songs to make strong return! Despite its radio-friendly, repetitive lyrics, it's not a terrible single. Hey Venus ! will make it good, as you know Super Furry Animals don't have any bad records, pretty songs again shine through the whole record. Hey Venus! may seem too simple upon first listen but it seems better and deeper with each spin.The eleven-track disc, out August 27 on Rough Trade, will be trotted out with a single for the track ?Show Your Hand? arriving August 13.Super Furry Animals - Show Your Handsimilar taste:The Polyphonic Spree - Get Up And GoThirdimensionBlur - Parklife

With bizarre sense of humor, borrowing from the New York post-punk underground, maybe They Might Be Giants (a.k.a. John Linnell and John Flansburgh) don't invent something new in music, but, God knows that you once listen to their whole albums you won't forget their sweet music. On The Else , they're same !Giants! who play their nice music, and they're always one of the sweetest bands that i've ever listened. This record offers something very friendly like Ween, Weezer, Robyn Hitchcock or any name makes you confused with their melodies and lyrics. Yes!, friendly music reminds you that life is not easy and it's still good to live. Love The Else!Girl! Why not take out the trash? And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again!They Might Be Giants - Take Out the Trash (nice song, isn't it?;)Also Listen:Ween - Friends EPWeezer - The Blue Album
