friday im in love with shinichi osawa.

honestly, i didnt know much about shinichi osawa aka mondo grosso up till last year.

He wasn’t on my hit list and i sorta ignored his presence.

I am just glad I did not continue ignoring him.

He’s been nothin short of awesome and is a massive japanese artist who is well known all over
and his mixes of digitalism to felix da housecat have turned heads over and over again.

so are you gonna let him be the one? just get his album. its ridiculously good.

enjoy. it is electrolust.

note: the cover of the chemical brothers song star guitar with au revoir simone is off the hook.

Death Cab in Singapore??

or are they just another indie band for you?

whatever it is. Death Cab For Cutie are claiming to be heading here in august.
yes..to the MASSIVE nation of Singapore.

be proud and show DCFC some real love.
i don’t think i need to tell you that.

SO.. is it another rumor like the arcade fire one a couple of months back or is this for real.

check it out here where it is stated that they are gonna play at the esplanade.

its on their official site so i’m hoping they don’t bail out at the last minute.

go here for some stuff from their latest album narrow stairs.

or join the official facebook group to will them to come.

grab this awesome track from their forbidden love EP, technicolor girls.

long live life.

viva la vida, long live life.

yesterday was the official release of the latest offering by coldplay.

we gave you violet hill a while back and viva la vida can be found all over the web.

so now lets get down to the tracks that has been getting more heat over at our side.

its definitely the most different album they have produced by far with brian eno’s help this time round.

as they put it, coldplay’s essence is not lost, the core is consistent with before but they have found a whole new way to express themselves.

eternally hip they are.

i have something really special coming up.

oh and to set the record straight, there is no cover of creep by muse. that is Thom Yorke.

twenty one.

lets start our monday right shall we.

if you are lookin for an album you don’t need to take too seriously, or one that can go along with you and take the blues away, look no further.

I still don’t get the direction mystery jets is heading toward.
Don’t get me wrong, this album is filled with pop songs that will last a lifetime.
there is in fact a certain swagger about the songs in this album that would probably make them instant classics.

this album is surprisingly a bloody good pop album.

why is it surprising? well, their previous album barely gave a hint of this direction, probably upsetting many.
the producer of this album ‘the erol alkan‘ is also not known for making memorable pop songs like these.

no hard bass lines or mad guitar riffs.

so is this album about their progress as a band, toying with different sounds?
or is it a stamp, a statement that they have arrived somewhere?

i say screw it. just enjoy them as they are for the moment.
even if this were any other bands only album, it is already a masterpiece in its own right.

it was released a few months back, but from ‘young love‘ to ‘two doors down‘, this album is downright fun, addictive, and will hook you silly anytime.

narrow stairs.

i refrained i refrained and i refrained.

but i have decided to cave in and talk about them.

when death cab came out with plans i thought they were heading for a soft direction.

it was light, breezy and easy, though that never got the critics waxing lyrical.

soul meets body was the quintessential pop song which in my opinion could speak to the masses and feature on every single radio station.

then everybody ‘went PBJ’ on them too.
not complaining, i always thought they deserved much much more airplay.
but something was different, their edge seemed to be wearing off.

their frontman Ben Gibbard had a voice for emotion.

and with narrow stairs, the band truly exploited it. this time with menacing effect.

heavier and darker than they have ever been before, i’m really getting them this time round.

get this album. they deserve your love. you get a free silkscreen poster with it.
