teeshirt Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 The SG Laneway fest lineup is out! As good as this year's. Hopefully it won't be as wet and muddy Quote
glowingember Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Heard a few versions of Summertime...But just came across this version by Janis Joplin.Wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzNEgcqWDG4 Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
glowingember Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) My adoration with Lykke Li continues...Here she is doing a cover of Kings of Leon's Knocked Up. Edited October 22, 2011 by glowingember Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
glowingember Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Here's Bon Iver providing instrumental and vocal support to Lykke Li's Dance Dance Dance in a park. Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
derryfawne Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Janis Joplin is a beautiful (raspy) soul, indeed. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
PaterTenebrarum Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Kate B's latest single from her upcoming album, 50 Words for Snow. Quote
PaterTenebrarum Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 My favourite Goldfrapp song. Kate Bush with a dollop with Cocteau Twins, imho. Quote
glowingember Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Kate Bush - She sounds so far away...Goldfrapp - She's such a chameleon...eagerly await to see what she'll release/reveal in the new CD. Clowns is beautiful.Something from long ago..(Lovely Head) Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
derryfawne Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Kate B's latest single from her upcoming album, 50 Words for Snow.Sounds like something straight out from the Aerial session, at least this time we only waited 6 instead of 12 years for a new KB album. 50 Words for Snow sounds like an intriguing title, I just checked Wikipedia and the song lengths are clocking at 6-14 minutes long. Seems like an ambitious prog-rock project.I miss her hysterical soprano octaves, though. She sorts of mellowed down after Hounds of Love. I need more mad stuff... whack that devil into my fiddlestick, Kate. My favourite Goldfrapp song. Kate Bush with a dollop with Cocteau Twins, imho.Seriously, you're right.I'm not usually a fan of Goldfrapp, but this is good stuff. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
PaterTenebrarum Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Yea. Kate's vocals are now a lot less manic than how she sounded like in her the Dreaming and Hounds of Love days. But it could be due to age. She is after all in her 50s. Actuali, I think her mellow sound started with the Red Shoes. Imho, a woman has to sound and act her age and not be vintage leather dressed like veal *coughMadonnacough*A good example of how age alters a woman's voice is the way Marianne Faithfull sounds when she sang As Tears Go By. The one released when she was younger is TOTALLY different from the one released when she is much older. Of course for Marianne, the drugs and cigarettes did not help .

PaterTenebrarum Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Hmmmm am surprised that no one has yet to put up any sonsg from Tori A's Night of Hunters. Here is my favourite track featuring her 11yo daughter on most of the vocals.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y_AiD6K2zA Quote
ziddyzid Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 sunday serenade courtesy of apparat and foster the people.tragic on this song is based on a mall shootout. hauntingly calm. Quote oh well the devil makes us sin but we like it when we're spinning, in his grin.
glowingember Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Like the Pump Up Kicks song.Melody is very chirpy, deeply contrasting the theme.Theme's a little similar to I Don't Like Mondays. Disturbing. Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
derryfawne Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Something more mainstream, but this electropop song has a neat little jazz vibe that works well. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
glowingember Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Dance Music! Clubbing Time?I'm indulging on Grace Jones.She's a man-eating machine and creepily cool. Edited October 23, 2011 by glowingember Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
teeshirt Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 How about dancing to these? Just realized I missed the Kompakt night at Zouk... Quote
derryfawne Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Yeah! Totally feeling the dance music recently.That Grace Jones tune is a bit creepy. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
PaterTenebrarum Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Another version of Kate B's brilliant Hounds of Love.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gkakqHez1g Edited October 25, 2011 by PaterTenebrarum Quote
PaterTenebrarum Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) While we r still talking abt Kate.Two other great songs from her:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nt5t3sL-kE Edited October 25, 2011 by PaterTenebrarum Quote
glowingember Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Found this version of the beautiful song Dreams (Fleetwood Mac) covered by Tori Amos. Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
glowingember Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah was famously covered.This is another song I listened during my student days... Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
glowingember Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Not exactly Alternative but fun nonetheless.Coldplay's tribute to Kylie when she couldn't perform because of her cancer in 2005.It's their version of Can't get you out of my head. Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
PaterTenebrarum Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Two classics imho, from the 90s, And this is a song by Donna Lewis who sang that banal I Love You Always Forever crap. Quote
derryfawne Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Recorded on a psychiatric ward in the late 1960s, this is a schizophrenic masterpiece with a Nick Drake-ian vibe: Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
glowingember Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 @PT: Two classics imho, from the 90s, (Smoke City):-) I heard this before but did not know the name of the song/singer. Tks. Very loungy in a cool way. The guy is so sexy, like Antonio Banderas.@DF: very psychedelic...the influence of the ward is evident. :-)On a happier note, some toy music from Psapp. Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
Guest jayy Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 M83 have a new album: How about some Foster the People? Quote
derryfawne Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I like Psapp too. This is my favorite from them: Foster the People: I like their vibe in general. In terms of songwriting, Pumped Up Kicks aside, I'm not very impressed with them yet. Edited November 5, 2011 by derryfawne Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
glowingember Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Tricycle is sweet. It has a very pure and innocent, nostalgic feel.Foster the People - 'Call' is not as catchy as 'Pump' but doesn't the lead singer sound very British?Here's a song that's 9 years old. (Citizen Cope's Let the drummer kick')Don't think there's an official video but this clip's typography animation is pretty cool. Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara
derryfawne Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Not exactly alternative, but this old-school blue-eyed soul tune is sweet. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
thick.white Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Does anyone else enjoy the music of The B-52s? I loved their music and their difference since I first heard them as a child in the late 70's and early 80's. Truly something different.......(How do I attach videos here???) Quote
thick.white Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 And Peter T.....I have to say how much I love Kate Bush.....thanks for all of your postings......... Quote
derryfawne Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 (How do I attach videos here???)Just copy and paste the link directly. No need to bother with all the buttons in the toolbar, they will only confuse you. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
derryfawne Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Here's a little known gem of a progressive rock band from the late 1970s called Klaatu. I love how they replicate the Beach Boys' style on the song below: Interestingly, at some point The Carpenters covered one of their songs (which is also among Carpenters' finest, imo): Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
thick.white Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Some of my favourite B-52's clips.....enjoy! Quote
derryfawne Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Speaking of Kate Bush, the tracks from 50 Words for Snow have leaked. Just finished listening to them.Pretty good, I'll probably rank this as her second best work since her prime Dreaming/Hounds days. (Best is Aerial, imo, not a fan of the highly acclaimed Sensual World.) Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
Guest jayy Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Anyone into Me'shell Ndegeocello?Here's an amazing cover she did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcSDUjDS0Fs Quote
Atrapada Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Discovered this song a few moments ago, something enticingly moody about it that I love. Quote Art makes the world go round! Love is the entirety of it! blog: www.confusedfella.blogspot.com
glowingember Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Found this folk-rock band from Seattle.It's Fleet Foxes and Tiger Mountain Peasant Song.I like. Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara

PaterTenebrarum Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 And here's Concrete Blonde from their superb album, Bloodletting, released in 1990.One of their biggest hits, Joey. The lead singer Johnette Napolitano has a fxxking amazing voice. However, I prefer this song from the same album. Quote
PaterTenebrarum Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 More Concrete Blonde:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG_RPjr0OFE&feature=related Quote
