    Greg Weeks – Made

    Lryics

    “Made”

    A silence a sway/
    A gesture a wild sashay/
    Can make your today/
    And then take it all away/
    They made us this way/
    For what they can never say/
    Sent us on our way/
    It’s useless to make them pay/

    Holding ground

    “Just live for today”/
    ‘Least that’s what they try and say/
    They say “Pay, pay, pay/
    And we’ll take your pain away/

    Holding ground

    So much for today/
    So much for the days of May/
    So much is passe/
    Please just make it fade away/

    Update: This song was also featured on Weeds (Showtime) at the end credits.

  • Milique – Blame it on me

    Doesn’t this track just throw you back to the days of 90’s Trip Hop. Digging this track with the dissonant piano chords over some rough electronics beats and distortion.

    Trip Hop group Milique are from Melbourne, Australia and are made up of James Murfet & Roni Shewan.

    Bio from myspace:

    milique is james murfet & roni shewan. it’s trip hop, it’s simple; and maybe you can dance to it. expect soothing minimal lows, happy grooves, bass heavy angst and a bit of fun.

    james has been hacking around with music and computers since the 90’s. one-time industrial act, james has chilled over the years and now enjoys making downbeat, trip-hop and a bit of minimal/techy stuff. in milique he plays keys and clicks a mouse occasionally. check out his website

    roni’s sweet but powerful voice has unpretentiously been rockin’ the melbourne scene in a variety of genres for a number of years. her sincere songwriting and jazz-inclined vocal style soars full flight in milique. check out her myspace.
