Song Of The Day: Charlotte Gainsbourg: “IRM”: We Need Strobe Lights.
1January 24, 2010 by Citizen192
I never knew what sounds like a defective fax machine would be so entrancing and likable. But that’s what Charlotte Gainsbourg’s second track “IRM” off of her album of the same name reminds me of. I can also hear what is undoubtedly fluorescent lights emitting feedback…or someone’s vibrator going off. Who knows!? Charlotte knows her soft voice and devious melodies make it all come together, and for that I have to post the track. I imagine this song goes better with a strobe light like karaoke is better when bottles of liquor are half empty. Enjoy. A Gainsbourg Moves Beyond

New York City is a bit misty-eyed tonight because two of the city’s coolest residents decided an opportunity to live in South Africa for five months was just to good to pass up.

Song Of The Day: Broken Bells “Vaporize”: And The 2010 List Begins.
0January 5, 2010 by Citizen192
Dangerous Mouse (Gnarls Barkley) & James Mercer (The Shins) combined forces and created Broken Bells. Their self-titled album releases March 2010, but I’ve been bumping a few tracks for about a week. It’s already a 2010 favorite and will surely make lists at the end of this year. “Vaporize” is the second track on their future release and it’s composition is beautiful. Mercer’s vocals with Danger Mouse’s production (I love that background horn you hear before the last refrain) equals a guaranteed following. All Songs has a stream of the entire album now. Look out for your local haunts, venues
