craig david. year 2001. to be that smooth! this live acoustic version of mr. david’s hit “fill me in” straight rules. we love the melodies. and feel as though they’re better suited to the halftime rhythm of this version’s acoustic guitar rather than the rhythms present on the album version. the melodic lines just sort of bounce off those half-time syncopations in the guitar creating a compelling, powerful hook. craig, holler at us! we’ll party!
“Cigarette Machine Club Mix” is new from London’s White Rose Movement. nobody ever told me that growing up with future bandmates in a hippy commune could yield creativity like this! i guess it really shouldn’t be a suprise but as a musician, all i can say is.. mom, dad, WTF! the track from their upcoming release lends a glimpse into what could very well could be an incredible album, as grimy guitars and distorted backing vocals find themselves in harmony with a welcoming melodic lead vocal and irresistible up tempo groove. new wave electroclash done right. dem’ brits just done got it down..

new and off the second blahblahvampire soundtrack, Band Of Skulls offer “Friends”. this one is a stomper, and unlike that death diamond track, this single must have been tracked before their food got tainted with jack white roids. it’s fixin’ to be the holiday season, and for this we are thankful.

GET THE ALBUM OUT! right so, between this and the new madvillain leaks yesterday, october 27 2009 was indeed a great day for hip hop. wack rappers take notice, the game is right about up.

“Standing Still” is the new single from the up and coming dublin, ireland band The Brothers Movement. their self-titled debut LP drops official early november, and from the sounds of it expect an effort that channels 90’s britpop ie. early verve and oasis but with the more contemporary indie spin of bands like LA’s black rebel motorcycle club. we’ll keep you posted, but for now dig on some pretty dec rock and roll..

speaking of the verve…
