  • Amy Lee – Sally’s Song (cover of The Nightmare Before Christmas)

    So, two years ago Disney released a re-issue of The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack which featured various artists doing covers of the soundtrack, including She Wants Revenge.   Now we see a “revisited” edition of   The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack which includes cover from Devotchk, Korn, Datarock, RJD2, and Shiny Toy Guns to name a few.   In particular I really like this cover of Sally’s song by Amy Lee.

  • Juana Molina – Un Dia

    Dizzying cacophony of vocals dominate this track with toy-tronic and acoustic elements.
    Press Release:
    Un Día, the fifth release from Argentinean artist Juana Molina is a brave departure from her previous work. It is every bit a Juana record, personal and intimate as always, but with pronounced rhythms and bold low end added to the mix. The album was recorded entirely by Juana (with the sole addition of guitar by Gareth Dickson from Vashti Bunyan’s band) at her home outside Buenos Aires. It is a hypnotic record, restless, alive with melodies that surface imperceptibly before burrowing into your brain, never to leave. The tracks are informed by an ever shifting and polymorphous sense of groove. The rhythm writhing over and inside each other, played out on wood and cymbal and bombo legüero, and woven from electronic glitches.
    For the uninitiated, Juana Molina grew up in Argentina and was exiled to Paris with her family at the age of 12. Her father is THE coolest of cool old school Tango singers and her mother, an actress.  Juana herself spent many years as a comedic TV star in South America,  but made a complete break with acting at the height of her fame to return to music (a move that, which must be noted, was met with nothing  short of hostility back home). Since releasing her first album,  Juana has won praise from all corners and a loyal fanbase, counting among her fans and supports the likes of José Gonzalez, David Byrne and Leslie Feist (all of whom she has toured with).

    Juana will be performing this weekend with Max Tundra at St. Luke’s Church in London as part of Domino’s 15th Anniversary gala.

  • Eulogies – Two Can Play (ft. Nikki from Silversun Pickups)

    Here’s a lovely song for a lovely day (espically when that day is my daughter’s 7th b-day 🙂   This sounds like a mild summer day, laying on grass and making shapes out of clouds.

    This song from Eulogies can found on the forthcoming EP due out October 7th, followed by a full length titled, “Here Anonymous” in Spring 09.
