Our dear friend Rocky Votolato plays his latest song – Little Spring – who will be the first single on his forthcoming record.
This one is recorded in Rockys bedroom, great stuff as always.
If you wanna help Mr Votolato fund his album – check out Kickstarter.
The songstress Elisabeth Grant is better known as Lana Del Rey. Young New Yorker with a voice like gold. Her Pop-Noir is dreamy and dark yet crisp and sweet. It got me at first listen. But then again, I am weak in front of female voices carried by great tunes.
Her debut single ”Video Games”/”Blue Jeans” was released by Stranger Records on vinyl on October 10, 2011 and digitally the following day. Full length album is expected next year.
This is my friday-anthem. What’s yours?
Surprisingly enought it took me some time to see it. The band name, and one of the main characters. Mark Dean, Dark Mean. But I got it.
Band members Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston started recording an album in 2007, and released it in June, this year. I am sure that we are the last blog to find these guys, but we found them at last.
Been listening to these fellas for quite some time, and I cannot seem to get them really pinpointed. It just keeps showing up more stuff, with every listen. This is some great work. I hear a whole lot of stuff in here. But the thing that hits me every time is the banjo and the brass instruments, the drive, the voices all blended together. Working its way through the well written, well performed great music.
Take a cup of Beirut, a pinch of Ryan Adams, some 80′s poprock,Indie, Folk and plenty of love for the music. That is a start to begin to describe. You need to discover for your self.
Take a load off, take a listen. I know you’ll enjoy this. Know I do.

Our Fridaytune is a epic song from M83 – who today announced their Swedish tour of 2012. They will come to Stockholm Feb 25 and Malmö Feb 29 and it will be very special.
M83s Anthony Gonzales takes us for a ride through the history of music. He combines Jesus and Mary Chain with Sonic Youth, it´s kraut and psych and electronica and whatever.
Check out his song Midnight City, a partystomper who even includes a sax-solo and makes it sound cool.
Midnight City by M83
Check out ‘Dengue Fever’, a six-member band from Los Angeles who makes blues- and psychodeliavibes with influences from the Cambodian rockscene of the 60´s and 70´s. Chhom Nimol sings in both khmer and english while the band mix surfrock, loungemusic, klezmer, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix-stuff.
Listen to the song. It´s a slow, revovling ceilingfan. It´s the smoke of a cigar rising towards the dark night. It´s cheap mekong-whisky, sweat and perfume. You can hear the murmur from the bar and every insect outdoor as the evening dies. Cheers GG, our own DJ Kurtz, for giving us the fever.
