Networking & talented people I know of

So this post is dedicated to people I really think are talented and deserve a little promotion via my ever so popular blog (ouch!). Maybe one day they’ll thank me for having boosted their career. I can only hope. So far the only thing I have done is annoy them with my OC (Online Credibility).

I’m going back to 505

How could I’ve missed forgot of such a track ? huh ? Can some one explain ? It just blows my mind listening to it. Ok, it’s now 5 o’ clock and I may be tired but, those lyrics are just amazing. Climax ? Well I’d say the part where Mister Turner lets the dogs [...]

DOWNLOADABLES #38 / How hard it is to sleep at night…

Hola mujeres, hola muchachos,
Back with the sleeping devils, at the time I’m writing these words it’s 3.30 am in the morning. Can’t get to bloody sleep, it’s hard being on vacation. Getting used to staying up late and stuff doesn’t do me good. Next week’s UK stint will arrange all this for sure. It’s even [...]

The “Make Someone’s Day” smile.

This is the smile I’ll have to put up with in every situation you could imagine. For the next few years at least. And when I mean ‘every situation’ I really mean every situation. Might it be a difficult customer, waiting for 8 hr delayed flight, an emergency landing with panic onboard and many more [...]

Good french music : The Dø

As you may now know, I have got something against french variety (variété) music. It’s probably the most depressing genre one can come across. It is saturated with songs from around five major artists. Each one of them pooping a new track every week. French love that. An obvious example would be Johnny Halliday : [...]

The Cool Kids / Estelle / DOWNLOADABLES #35

Another day, another post. We have been quite busy here in Paris. Begining to feel like a Housewife. Cleaning the flat thoroughly, with bleach. Smells hella nice now. I didn’t mention I was cleaning the flat listening, as ever, to new music. My mac is being treated like a king, blasting new tunes through his [...]

She’s under my thumb

Saturday. The best day so far this week. I was randomly shuffling my numerous MP3’s this early afternoon and the following track came up and I just froze whilst I was hoovering around in the flat. With a gracious & swift move of my left leg, I pointed with my toe at the switch to [...]

Another jukebox special here with a great – let’s not be shy here – let’s just say awesome cover of the now infamous “Back To Black” performed by a band called “The Blacks”. Five Star, for realz. Otherwise some other goodies, especially the Beatles cover by No Doubt. Ska style it really rocks.

The Blacks – [...]

God I can’t wait.

A month and seven days before I lift off for sunny 26° celsius Dubai, and that’s a fact. I’ve practically finished all the stuff I need to bring over (documents wise), have just booked a photoshoot for those pictures, done another set of X-rays. I only need to go shopping for Shirts, T-shirts, Shorts, Havanaïa [...]

Duffy or the 60’s revival

It’s those times when all you do during your spare time is listen to music. And spare time I have. So, browsing new artists on websites like the hype machine and other hipster blogs (see blogroll in the side bar)… I came across the likes of Santogold and Adele which I’ve already talked about in [...]

How to butcher a song ?

12MC has this über-post about a random singer called Nikka Costa covering “The Denial Twist” by The White Stripes. Here’s the full post :
Filing this one under “WTF” is an understatement. Nikka Costa’s jive talkin’ take on “The Denial Twist” is hands down the most unnecessary White Stripes’ cover this side of Jack Johnson’s sleep-inducing [...]

Santogold – predictable breakout in 2008

Sorry for posting so many things today, but everytime I come across something worth the publics’ ears, I think I should share it. You’ve probably heard sensational M.I.A.’s album “Kala” last year, with lead-track named “Jimmy”. You know that hindu-indie-80’s kind of sound with indian dancers and all that. Well, we have a sister ! [...]

Saturday Jukebox – Adele, the new Winehouse…

 
Adele has been the discovery of 2008 back in the UK. As french are so far behind in music business we’ll probably hear of her in late 2012. But Airboy is digging this Winehouse-without-crack-nor-booze singer. Young & Talented. Thanks to this internet buzz along with her appearance on the Live Lounge by Jo Whiley (hottest [...]
