Fergie Ft. Ludacris - Glamorous (World Premiere)
recorded by me, havent posted in awhile will start to normally again soon

M.I.A. is BACK!!!!


DL: M.I.A. - Bird Flu ....or watch the video

Watch out for Vyvienne Long, brilliant Irish cellist with an angelic voice
She released her EP Birdtalk late 2006, on it are some extraordinary tracks, with They're Not Waving as a very, very pretty song that you can put on repeat forever. What is extremely cool about Vyvienne is that she made an acoustic cover of She Wants To Move by N*E*R*D and a cover of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips. This girl has it in her to release a great record, so maybe 2007 will be her year!

Here's her website, which sucks a bit, but gives an impression of what she's doing.

Walk This Way!

omg this video reminds so much o Britneys "Me Against The Music". im actually LOVING this video. espec. the club scene. just very good. loving the concept. <33

Someone is looking HOT. 0.0

Official PROMO cover for her new album.

THE BEST DAMN THING!

French singer Zazie to release her 6th album 'Totem' on February, 12th.
So this is my very first post on this lovely blog. I figured I'd better post something really new and really good. Now that moment has arrived, since the new album of French singer Zazie has leaked. The album itself is okay but not as good as her last album 'Rodéo', which had kind of an experimental combination of electronica and rock. However, the first single of Totem, called 'Des Rails', is very nice and uplifting. Also check out Zazie's very nice new website.

P.Diddy Feat. Keyshia Cole!
This is the third single off Diddys album "Press Play". The song is actually REALLY GOOD except for the fact that Diddy cant sing AT ALL. Keyshia does a very good job on this track. Anyways well yeah, the song is getting released as the third single and here's the video!

As Marko Nyberg puts it himself: "Every track is designed to be a warm breeze to counter the chill of daily life, whether you live in cold climes or not. All moments from life become part of the music. Husky Rescue reflects our background in Helsinki where the winter nights are so cold and long while the summer is hot and short, but oh so sweet. It's melancholic music but there is always hope. Husky Rescue's music is like the first snow on the ground when you can still see the green grass through the snow. It's like spring's sunbeam after the long, dark, sunless winter time"
+ info Husky Rescue (Ghost Is Not Real, 2007)

Husky Rescue - Nightless Night
Husky Rescue - Hurricane (Don't Come Knocking)

Mandy Moore ready to release new album.
"Wild Hope" will be the name of her 4th album, to be released early/mid May . And um yesterday a track off this album was posted on her MySpace. The song is called "Extraordinary". tbh its not that great is just really BLAND, also her voice sounds different somehow. And by the lyrics i can tell that her music has matured a lot. Anyways yeh, i have no idea wether this will be the leading single of the album (hope not) but its just an AIGHT track. Oh and THIS was posted on a mandy moore fan site. Its the songlist of the album and a description of each one of them, no clue wether its fake or not.

DL: Mandy Moore - Extraordinary

MIKA - Grace Kelly

P.S. : I know the video is kinda old

AaRON - Artificial Animals Riding On Neverland
This is my first new post on O.C. for this new year (so, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !), I am so proud to post this one with this incredible album of AaRON...
This is a 2007 Brillantine for sure, alternativepianopoprocksad & beautiful, it's hard to describe their univers and their influences, maybe like Mogwai & Radiohead mixed, anyway, the touching voice on gorgeous instrumentals & floating lyrics...
I'm touched... But, who are they ? They are 2 french men, Simon & Olivier and they write, compose & sing in english (except for one track). Their first single "U-Turn (Lili)" is the Soundtrack off a french movie called "Je Vais Bien, Ne T'en Fais Pas" and, as the album right now, was number 1 on iTunes France. I'm going to see them in a private concert next friday ! RUN TO BUY IT AS I DID !!!!!

01. Endless Song
02. U-Turn (Lili)
03. O-Song
04. Mister K
05. Blow
06. Beautiful Scar
07. Strange Fruit

Katharine McPhee!
before anyone gets all heroic and starts defending her franticly i just wanna say that i was rooting for her and wanted her to win rather than taylor hicks "who bores me to death" but her album which leaked a while ago "I'm sure everyone who knows what a music forum & bitorrent" is already have it, it's just not that good.. Too predictable! Super mainstream if i may say kinda reminds me of how i felt when i was anticipating "Shayne Ward"s album and then when it leaked i wasn't that excited at all.. actually i haven't played it ever since.. "Over It" greatly reminds me of Jojo's "Too Little, Too Late" & i love it but the rest of the tracks are just radio friendly rhythm pop (& i'm sure it's what she was aiming for. After all the whole point is selling) but it lacks the edge which "Kelly Clarkson" managed to conquer & she is not putting her fully vocal range to use on this album. The only reason why i will be playing it beside the fact that i love "Over It" is that "as my frinds say" my music tast has gone too sick for them lately "in other words (too advance or indie)" soo this will shut them up when we are in the car or hanging out, the highlight tracks right now to me are "Over It / Open Toes / Not Ur Girl / Dangerous / Do what You Do" Dunno how long they will last before i get sick of them.. Ohh & doesn't "Do What You DO" sounds like something "Cassie" would do ??


I will give it another full listen sometimes soon i might like the ballads (I SAID MIGHT)... & this is for sure not brilliantine.

My Love!
Well surprise surprise more official "My Love" remixes but the only way to have your hands on them is either e-bay, becoming a radio Dj or DL it (illegally) of course.. if you always wonder why don't the mother labels just release all the remixes on 1 single and let us pay for it rather than making it so hard to get that we go looking for it online? the answer is simply because not all the remixes are "GOOD Enough".. u say "why Bother Sending It Out to Radio's Then?" i say because big labels "Sony BMG" in this case have already paid the Dj's money for their work and therefore they are stuck with the mixes that didn't make it into the single so instead of archiving them and feeling like they wasted their money they send it out to major music stores/radio stations hoping that they would give them some air play to milk more promotion for the artist. The new ones are:

* My Love (Ibiza Is Burning Mix)
* My Love (Quentin Harris Mix)
* My Love (Terry Hunter Remix)
* My Love (DFA Remix)

out of the bunch i like the "Ibiza Is Burning Mix" & i was soo fukkin excited when i saw the "DFA" remix coz they are like the gods of extra long noise mixes which sounds like they been recorded in a workshop with actual musicland tools through a cheap microphone rather than digitally & i adore most of their previous mixes for "N*E*R*D*/Goldfrapp/Chemical Brothers" BUT this remix of my love is just noir it has no life.. its like just the basics of their style and no flavor at all.. it goes on n on & if you're doing something u won't even notice its playing, probably the only part which is barely good is the last 2 minutes & it's still not WOW. Is it because "DFA" raised the level of goodness too high for themselves? I don' really know.. but what i know is they can seriously do muchmuchmuch better. "Quentin Harris" remix is boring house with a 2step beat structure & the "Terry hunter" remix is plain house.. mehh.

Nothing beats the "Oakenfold" & "Angello & Ingrosso" remixes.

Nelly!
I seriously need to get internet back at home soon coz finding all this stuff randomly or by chance is not fun anymore, I'm supposed to be the first to know about every release lol (it's unfair!).. anyways few days ago i got the CDM of Nelly's new single "Say It Right" & after one listen (skipping each mix while fast forwarding through them) i came to conclusion that its crap but only because i was in a shitty mood at that point (dating problems.. blah blah blah) anyhow the next day @ 5:00am with a big cup of Hot coconut & Vanilla chocolate i decided to give it another listen and voila it works :)

"Bad Boy Bill Mix" nothing special or amazing, get a bit monotonic throughout the track & he only thing that saves it is the electro samples & pipe effect sprinkled here and there.. I'm not saying it's bad but it's not that good either.

"Friscia & Lamboy" a typical remix that VA compilations will probably include in their releases, people who like "Junior Vasquez/Cass & Mangan/Chocolate Puma" will enjoy this one for sure.

The "Peter Rauhofer" remixes are ALWAYS known to have the buzzing distortion sound on it and the whole i'm-the-villain-dj feeling on his work, there's nothing much to say about his work because he's been around for as long as i can remember and almost all his remixes are brilliant & i'm sure if u listen to dance music then u know who he is.

& finally my favorite of the whole bunch the "Dummies Remix", it seems like what they did here is try to convince us that this remix is actually the original version but then furtado decided to go all pop! They reworked the track by making an electro version without ditching the original feeling to it, I simply adore it if u know who "The Knife" is then u will probably remember them listening to this remix "music wise".. It's not over sampled or far driven from the original but its 100% a different genre. I actually like this one more than the original (sorry Timbo). Notice the hollow wooden logs beat & low battery beeps (such a treat) loves it.

* Say It Right (Peter Rauhofer Club Mix)
* Say It Right (Peter Rauhofer Radio Mix)
* Say It Right (Bad Boy Bill Mix)
* Say It Right (Friscia & Lamboy Club Mix)
* Say It Right (Dummies Remix)
