Friday tunes 40

Albums
Trentemøller – Reworked/Remixed – an awesome bunch of remixes spanning a range of genres

In celebration of seeing them live at the O2 last night, here’s a bunch of Grooveshark links to give you access to four of their incredible albums. Rumours are they visited Spotify in Stockholm this month, so watch that space!

Single tracks
Lars and The Hands of Light – Me Me Me - Trentemøller Remix – Definitely a happy Friday tune. Sort of a mixture between the Dandy Warhols and The Monkeys
The Dø – Too Insistent - Trentemøller Remix – Feel’s like some pretty chilled Lykke Li
Kasper Bjørke – Does Not Matter feat. The Pierces - Trentemøller Remix – Yet another beautiful track. Imagine The Doves with a female vocalist
Trentemøller – Tide - Alternative Instrumental Version – Some great Trentemoller intensity
Trentemøller – Moan - Trentemoeller Remix – Incredible. Great beat, intense in a really sinister kind of way and great light female vocals

Tracks from BUG 26 at the BFI
1. Another amazing Google Chrome Project, though you may need some fancy add-in and a hyper graphics card for this Danger Mouse, Daniele Luppi, Norah Jones & Jack White collab to work properly.

Check here first for a music video that you control. If that fails, watch this YouTube one. You can see the cursor moving around. If you do it yourself, crazy things start happening as you navigate your way around the video





Commentary to how the video was made...





2. Gavin Friday - Able
Love this one, though maybe gones on a little too long for me





3. An awesome crowd sourced version of MJ's 'Behind The Mask'. What a tune!





4. This video from The Greeks is contro, but brilliant. Be warned! NOT a video for those with small children!





5. Cool atmospheric video from Memory Tapes





6. Increasingly biblical video from White Lies





7. A U2's one shot 'Numb' video taken in two shots




8. Cute track with a very tripy video from Chag VanGaalan





9. A witch hunt for Stargate's remix of Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus'





10. Lots of cubes and tunnel vision from Hooray for Earth





There was also an awesome video for Beardyman's 'Big Man', but it's nowhere to be found!

Congrats to Spotify!

After so much toil, Spotify finally announced it's launch in the US this morning. Congratulations to all involved, go take that nation by storm!


For those wanting more details, here's a couple of good articles I came across:


  • A quick overview with all the important bits from The Guardian. Love how Ek is positioned in the photo to look like the saviour of the industry. Intentional?
  • An excellent full account of the history of Spotify, some details on the technology behind the speed of the service (those clever techies clearly have their back ground in P2P) and today's US announcement from Bloomberg (not a short one, but a super read!)


Now, here's a lovely new album for you to listen to whilst you read
Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi – Rome


And for good measure, here's their US launch snippit...

Glastonbury '11 - for those getting super psyched about Glasto!
An ease in to QOTSA - for those who don't know Queens Of The Stone Age, this starts off with their more melodic stuff and slowly moves you in to the Mojave Metal sound which they're so well known for. If you don't know them and you're going to Glasto, check this.

Friday tunes 23 (a little late again)

A little delayed again. I need to convince IT to give me Spotify back. Why would they take it away? WHY?!

Albums
The Music – The Music - An Indie-Rock blast from the past
Katy B – On A Mission - Pleasantly surprised with this one. Wasn't expecting her to be a dub step and garage artist. Go Katy! Heard "On A Mission" before - tune!

Single tracks
Katy B – Movement - My tune of the week, great garage track
The Music – Getaway - Massive tune from my Boro Indie Clubbing days 
The Music – Drugs - My favourite track from their 2008 album "Strength In Numbers"
Ronny Jordan – The Jackal - Oooo, funk. Thanks CJ
RJD2 – All For U - Feat. Aceyalone. Just discovered it sitting unplayed on my iPod - so pleased with it. Great RJD2 with a cool brass phrase. Very Herbaliser.

Running tunes
Deadmau5 – For Lack Of A Better Name (Continuous Mix) - This has given me so much mileage, possibly my favourite running mix. There are some massive running pick-me-ups between 7 mins and 20 mins.

London summer festivals
Just bought tickets to the Saturday are Wireless (2nd July). The line up is awesome:

Also, Amazon are doing their MP3 sales again. Whoop!

Friday tunes 22 (a little late)


Spotify’s been down at work (damn the IT overlords), so been minimal online listening this week. However, I have been racking up plays of...

Beady Eye – Different Gear, Still Speeding – For all those Oasis fans
The Whip – X Marks Destination – Interesting mix of electro grime and some poppier stuff. Preference for the grime: Trash, Divebomb, Muzzle #1,
Soul Position “Unlimited EP” (Groove Shark link) – produced by RJD2 back in 2002. Cool chilled out hip-hop. I'm particularly loving "Oxford You Really Owe Me"
TM Juke – Maps From The Wilderness - More chilled-out hip-hoppie shizzle
Stanton Warriors – The Warriors – Their new album, makes me so happy
Plump DJs – Eargasm – some more grr

Single tracks
The Whip – Muzzle No.1 - Original – Back from 2007, part of the Hot Chip-esque explosion
Plump DJs – Funk Hits The Fan  - Loved this one for so long. Sweet pick-me-up when out on a run
