Nicholas Kopernicus

I was chatting to a friend about music last night. About music that catches your attention from the first time you hear it, and how rare it is... So today, listening to Laidback Radio I hear Nicholas Kopernicus. Straight off I wanted to hear more.

Nicholas Kopernicus are Jason Minnis and Seon Gomez. I wasnt sure what to expect from the album The Album "Audicentric". I had heard the first track and second. I had a long walk ahead of me tonight so I put on "Audiocentric" and listened from the start to finish... and back to the start again. This album is a journey through many different genres that keeps you hooked in. The worry for an album that goes through many genres, I think is that the album as a whole the album doesnt fit together but is not true of this album. I would recommend listening to this album as a whole. The common factor throughout the album is great music, the beats, the instrumetals on the album are consuming.

The song here is Grand Central(ft.Sixteenstone). Diping back into the album now, Im loving the flute and guitar on Candle Dreams [I had to post it aswell]. Im talking about every song on the album so far and that wasnt my intention, but Brisa... It put a smile on my face. Remindeds me of happy sunny days. And then the album flows into a funky hiphop song Spittin' Blues. And just to show the diversity theres a Reggae song Natural High. If a camera had followed me home, it would have shown me speeding up and slowing down and grooving away as I walked home.

I am really enjoying this album and I have a feeling it will be my go to album for the next while.

The Revenge

A couple of great songs I stumbled onto on Soundcloud by The Revenge. I have been a big fan of The Revenge before I knew who they were. The love affair started with A remix of "Heavens in the Backseat of my Cadillac" and just keeps going with all the new music they release.

Love it... hate it... tell me what you think!




The Revenge : Forever In Their Debt (Original Mix) by The Revenge



And If : Beyond Senses (Harri & The Revenge Remix) by The Revenge

Blood is thicker than water... and an introduction to Online Radio

I heard this last night listening to "Songs of praise" Cubkimusik's radio show on Space Invader Radio. Internet Radio is a new thing to me but I have to say Cubkimusik's "Songs of Praise" and Orsii's "Little Miss Sunshine" Laid Back radio show have opened my eyes to the great music shows available on the internet.

I love the concept behind the on-line radio show.

I love that I can find a show that plays the type of music I like. Normally listening to FM radio, I hear a song I like maybe at best every half an hour, possibly every hour and very rarely will I be introduced to any new music.

The above two shows have already created a list in my head of new music, I have to buy. When does this happen when you listen to three hours of normal radio [with the exception of a couple of DJs].

The fact that if I miss the regular broadcast on the net I can download and listen at my leisure is fantastic, this weekend I spent an evening doing some work I had to get done but I had left my I-pod in town, and having no music would have made an already painful task worse and internet radio came to my rescue.

The lack of advertising during the show is fantastic, its just pure music with a few interludes to introduce tracks or place them in context.

If you find an internet radio show you like, stick with it. It will be a great show for as long as it is made.

Tell me about your favourite shows, what you hate or love about Radio be it on-line or regular radio!!

HOMAGE

I found this looking through my favorite photo blog. . Yimmys Yayo. I dont know who took the photo or who wrote the Homage just that I like it.

COMBO

This is an amazing collaborative animation by Blu and David Ellis at the Fame Festival in Italy.

I wish it would rain

Iv been posting lots of Mayer Hawthorne... but why the hell not, i havent got so much joy from an artist in a while! Listening to the album strolling down the street i found I have developed a new walk...

I love this song. It reminds me of a break up I had when I was but a young fella. Then thinking about it i have had a few moment like that in the rain... (one involved a very funny walking backwards fall.. you know what im talking about!!) but i do live in Ireland... it does rain a lot... yet for all these memories, this song makes me smile. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do!!

Thru - You

Kutiman, is a musician, composer, producer and animator from Israel. This is his new (to me) project. First released in June 2009. It is called Thru-You. He mixes different youtube videos. I think its brilliant.

Sometime...

Iv been getting together some ideas for posts in my head recently because I feel I havent been creating enough of my own contents, (Just posting tunes and video)... I have a few ideas so hopefully over the next few week I get together all the stuff I need to do what i want...

But until then here are a few tracks that I have been enjoying over the last while.

Emotional Rescue

Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue (MeatMatter Edit) by greymatter

I love this song. Carrys me to work every morning!! Check out Greymatter's MySpace and Soundcloud for more tracks.

Simian Mobile Disco

Sitting here listening to the new Simian Mobile Disco album "Temporary Pleasure", its very good. My first proper listen to them, having heard a lot about them. I have to go out and buy the rest of the albums now. Everyody at Electric Picnic is probably enjoying the live set they are playing... but at least im not coveredd in mud... lame excuse.. Iv got Electric Picnic envy!

Anyhow... enjoy this track.

Love is All right

Mayer Hawthorne is class. End off. He is releasing a four inch mini single, "Love is All right"... as seen above... It will be packed as a limited edition with his album A Strange Arrangement. It is out on 8th Sept. Its pretty freakin' cool.

He is playing Dublin Electronic Arts Festival in October. It will be brilliant.
