Can You Spare Some Time To Listen?

Today is an exciting day for new music... Well I think it is, and maybe you will too.



Did you know that Beth Ditto front-woman of Gossip is releasing a solo EP, produced by Simian Mobile Disco? Above is a link to an interview with Beth at Triple J, an Australian Radio Station. --- Oh, the great lengths I go to to find out about my favourite music.

I love this song.

This is a link to an NPR interview with Jack White, NPR: Flipside --- this is Part One to a series of weekly interviews with White. Check back next week for another interview.
I've been a casual listener of his projects and find him to be really, quite intelligent. He is a busy man with his many ongoing projects, be it, Third Man Records (his record label and store), upholstery or one of his many bands.

Lykke Li is someone who plays with vocals, instrumentation, sounds and rhythms. I love her quirky and sentimental songs. This is her single from her newest album "Wounded Rhymes".

Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers (TheLineOfBestFit Session)

Great Vocals!

I mentioned Soko, a long while back in one of my first few posts on this blog.
She's cute, I love her accent. She's quirky and she doesn't seem to have a verbal filter.
Her songs sound like she is sing-speaking from her personal journal, usually consisting of the "fuck you for breaking up with me" variety.

Soko - It's Not Going To Work (Shoot The Player Session)

Music For Men (And Women)

GOSSIP

Who doesn't love someone who exudes a confidence that could almost make you envy?
Beth Ditto.

Ditto's voice is soulful, with a hint of rebellion. That woman can sing! As a frontwoman she demands attention and for us to listen. She does this with Brace Paine the guitarist, and Hannah Billie, the drummer. Together they form a band that has drawn in audiences who all share one thing in common. A desire to rebel with melodic, androgynous, meaningful music.

The Gossip - Heavy Cross
First single off of Music For Men. Great song. Great performance.


The Gossip - Listen Up!
I love this video... I'm not sure why, maybe it's because it looks like something that could be replicated in our own home. It's simple, meaningless and entirely nonsensical. Love it.
