    Part The Avalanches, part Fatboy Slim, and part Esquivel, they definitely have the party tip covered well.

  • Kaada – Care

    What does country guitar picking, R&B vocals from the motown era, slide guitar, drum samples, and a 1950’s slow jam all have in common?   Well, they are used to make this wonderful collage by Kaada entitled, “Care’.   Kaada is from Norway and makes his own brand of electronica.   This track can be found on his 2003 release entitled, “Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time”.   More recently Kaada has devoted his time to movie scores such as the motion picture “O’Horten” [2008].

  • Imogen Heap – Glittering Cloud (Plague of Locusts)

    So in lieu of the soon to be released track from Imogen Heap for the television show Heroes (which you can hear a preview of by watching Imogen’s video blog here) as well as her 3rd solo album due in March, I have a cut from a 4AD compilation that was released 0ct of 2006 entitled, “Plague Songs by Various Artist”.     The premise for this compilation was to have artists write a song of one of the ten biblical plaques from the book of exodus.     Rather interesting proposition I think to myself…
