Ruby Weapon – Two Weeks (Grizzly Bear cover)
This song may just save your day. It surfaced on the net as the soundtrack to a slideshow of party pictures on YouTube. I extracted the audio and haven’t been able to stop listening to it since – it’s mesmeric. From what I can gather, it’s by a virtual unknown from Australia going by the name of Ruby Weapon, who has uploaded a batch of Animal Collective/Panda bear cover versions, but there’s little else in the way of information. Which is too bad, because I’m absolutely smitten with this. Best thing I’ve heard all week.
A few hours ago we had about 45 minutes to film and edit a little ‘about me’ segment, which was hastily put together…but with this song. I will take it down shortly, out of embarrassment, but for now – rare footage of me:

Originally I thought this song was just too poppy to post. But then, months later, the tune crept back into my head…and then those lyrics. Now that I’ve found the video, I don’t need to say another word.

Song of the Day: Hjaltalín – Traffic Music

Hjaltalín – Traffic Music
Triumphant Icelandic pop put to great effect in this mixed-media animation that’s as colourful as it is incomprehensible. Hjaltalin is a nine piece ensemble who were singled out for praise after Jim Carroll’s recent scouting mission to the Eurosonic festival showcase in Holland AND crowned ‘Brightest Hope’ at last year’s Icelandic music awards. On the strength of this track, they promise to live up to those expectations. Their album Sleepdrunk Seasons is out now on Kimi records.

Yeasayer – Tight Rope
My review of the new 4ad compilation Dark Was the Night features in the new issue of MOJO (as well as an interview I did with Ray LaMontaigne). There are plenty of magic moments but overall I found it disappointing, particularly with the amount of cover versions (nearly two-thirds of the 31 tracks) which 4ad have consciously chosen not to mention in all the hype-building publicity so far. Because it’s for a worthy cause I don’t really agree with the mass-posting of the album and its tracks to download for free online, so I’m going with this video of Yeasayer in session. “Tight Rope” is one of my favourites from the collection, a song I have a sentimental connection with after being privy to the now famous Take Away Show they first revealed it in.

The Pharcyde – Passin’ Me By (+ remixes)

This brings back some memories: a witty and catchy song about being ignored by your crush – I must have watched this video hundreds of times as an angst-ridden, hormone-fuelled teenager. I can still recite every line without thinking about it. But the reason I’m indulging in a moment of nostalgia is because Hot Chip have remixed it almost beyond recognition, reminding me in turn of another remix of the song where the group re-deliver each other’s rhymes to a cocktail jazz backing. Both remixes posted below.

M. Ward – Hold Time
Posted in General Reviews, Video, tagged End of Amnesia, Hold Time, post-war, Transfiguration of Vincent, Transistor Radio on January 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
M. Ward’s new album will benefit greatly from the mainstream exposure that She & Him brought and I know it will do well in its critical reception…I’m just not sure it deserves to. Sure, it’s enjoyable – but the amount of recycled material here is staggering. So many of the melodies and chord progressions retread old ground that they are literally a pale imitation of what has come before. If you are approaching M. Ward’s music from any sort of unfamiliarity, please, please seek out Transfiguration of Vincent, Transistor Radio, and End of Amnesia first. You’ll be glad you did.
Beirut – March of the Zapotec

Beirut – La Llorona
I’ve had the new Beirut release for about a month now and it’s definitely a departure…but not one I have taken to the way I would have hoped for. For a start, it’s two EPs together rather than an album, each half distinctly different both from each other and everything that came before. The first part is a collection of Mexican funeral march arrangements conducted through a brass orchestra, the second a gathering of ’80s inspired keyboard pop recorded in a bedroom under the new name Realpeople. It’s not without its moments, however. Instrumental ‘No Dice’ is a blast of kitsch fun and penultimate track ‘The Concubine’ is a gem. I would post the latter here but I am not legally entitled to do so. However, it will be on my forthcoming mix CD!
