Frost - Sleepwalker

I bumped into this norwegian duo while watching Röyksopp videos on youtube. I fell in love at first noise.

scoops worth mentioning

The Wire's creator, David Simon, testified on problems in today's journalism in front of a subcommittee not so long ago. Newspapers, bloggers, that kinda stuff. I agree with many of his arguments, but he has some ideas that are stuck in his head since 1995, the last time he worked at a newspaper. Anyway, don't miss his new show premiering this fall.

Another thing that caught my eye was that the creator of Skins said that a movie and a book are in the making.

Also, Tegan and Sara are recording their new studio album right now. At the same time, they are finishing the books they've been working on, and they promised to put them on sale very soon. Yay.

An Horse - Camp Out

The new music video shot in Vancouver. I just cannot get enough of this song. It only takes one guitar and one drum for them to make an orchestra look like a cat walking on a piano.

God Help The Girl

Once there was a man called Stuart Murdoch and he had a band named Belle & Sebastian. Now this man is putting out an album in June, titled God Help The Girl and it's gonna be full of songs sang by beautiful women. It's so so so awesome that you must to check it out. The first single is available for download on this website.


Come Monday Night is a tender song that I pretty much cannot turn off from now on until like... forever. The singer is Catherine Ireton from Limerick, Ireland. "maybe you would sleep much better." If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you can get a sneak peak into the record as well. I'm definitely buying this one some time in the future. When I'll have money for record shopping...

Kasabian - Fire

From 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' (I love this title). To be released in June. It's gonna be a killer one. I still hate myself for missing their concert last year.

sziget + twitter

Manic Street Preachers, Maximo Park, The Editors, The Subways, Lily Allen. Just to mention some new additions to Sziget festival this year. I've got my ticket. It's gonna be legendary people! Best week of the year.

Couple of months ago I signed up for twitter. I didn't really understand the purpose of telling everyone that you're going to the bathroom to take a sh*t, but I liked the fact that I could follow some of my favorite artists and actors. Now I started twitting to because it's fun if you use it wisely. You should sign up too and stalk musicians and actors like Tegan, Matthew Perry, Natalie Imbruglia, Kaya Scodelario virtually from your bed or from the subway, whatever. Just a suggestion.

music for the people

just a few interesting things i bumped into today.

Wilco covered woody guthrie's Jolly Banker and it is awesome. You can download the song here for free.

The Honey Brothers - Demonstration. Does this ring a bell to anyone? It's Adrien Granier's (Vince in Entourage) band and I have to admit that they're good. I didn't see this one coming, that's for sure.

Everyone should listen to the new songs from The Rental's next album on their website. Story of a Thousand Seasons Past sounds awesome and it might just be a top10 album this year so watch out for it. Matt Sharp is The Man. Even Tegan sings on one of the songs. Cool.

And last but not least, The Boss and his minions covering London Calling in Phili. Watch it in HQ people because he kicks ass. Big time.
