Are you suffering the blues? Tell me why, tell me when, tell me why? When…

Are you suffering the blues? Tell me why, tell me when, tell me why? When…

I change the song on my sidebar every week but I don’t always introduce it. This time I’m going to. Little Dragon are a swedish band and have been in the music scene since 1996 and their music has appeared on various television shows, they’ve collaborated with other musicians and done umpteen dozen other things.  I find them totally mesmerising and real, lyrically and vocally.  Something about them makes me want to dance even if sometimes their lyrics contradict it.

These guyz are amazing because they not only have a sound that’s unique and beautiful, they also have something to say.

After a short intro by the band, they get into the brilliant song ‘Little Man’.

The lyrics say it all really, nothing more to be said. Enjoy ♥

Just when I thought I knew stuff ~ I don’t know nothing about anything…

Just when I thought I knew stuff ~ I don’t know nothing about anything…

Found this Brisbane based six piece band, Cheap Fakes  by listening to Triple J’s Roots n All.  

This is a song that feels rather too close to my heart ♥

It seems just as I get close to thinking I know something I find I know nothing about anything…

The lyrics bring a truth that isn’t negative – it just is – and the upbeat tone of the music and the smiling faces of the band members is contagious and I think I just found a whole new LIVE act to follow :)  Listen here and Enjoy….  What do you think?  Luv it or Hate it?  I’d be interested to know…

Happy Australia Day ♥

Happy Australia Day ♥

Happy Australia Day…

Hope most of you had a dry and safe day.  It’s been very wet here in Queensland over the past few days with many celebration/festivals cancelled and parts of NSW are having their fair share of the big wet!  Hope it didn’t hamper too many celebrations and that you had a good day!

 

As I’ve talked about here , I listened to the Hottest 100 on Triple J and most of the songs I voted for came in and I actually enjoyed the countdown from 100-20 more than the top twenty itself (slightly disappointed).  But I was really happy with the top 8.  And of course I knew Gotye would get #1 – no surprises there!  Well done to Wally and Kimbra.  I thought it would be a battle between Gotye and Matt Corby but Matt came in at #3 and I was pretty stoked that The Black Keys made #2.  Hoorah!  Click here for the full list.

Anyway, that’s it for another year – until the album release.  I love the Hottest 100 –it’s celebrated on Australia Day, it’s music, it’s Triple J and many of the artists are Australian and damn fine ones at that. And here’s No: 1 – Enjoy  ♥

And just for something different here is Matt Corby’s ‘Like a Version’ of the #2 spot for ‘The Black Keys – Lonely Boy’.  It’s not the pumpy, rock out version of the brilliant Black Keys but it’s pretty brilliant just the same.  Let me know what you think…

Midnight rambler about to curl up with iPod and Triple J as have just received another one of those creepy, severe storm alerts for the northern suburbs and Moreton bay in which I live…Here we go again!
