Some music that’s pretty cool…
"Machine Gun" by Portishead. See it/hear it HERE.
"Tengo La Voz" by Bostich, in a compilation "The Tijuana Sessions Vol. 3" from Nortec Collective.
You can see/hear it HERE
The Ting Tings’ new album, "We Started Nothing". it’s a singer and drummer, and they crank out some catchy music. It reminds me of Blondie, B-52s, Gwen Stefani & Patti Smith combined. If you get a chance, check out their video for "That’s Not My Name"; it’s nothing fancy, which makes the fact that the two members of the group can still be interesting to watch all the more remarkable.
"Who’s going to save my soul" by Gnarls Barkley. Great song, soulful, funky and smooth.
Elvis Costello’s new album, "Momofoku". "Imperial Bedroom" ("Man out of Time" & "Beyond Belief") was one of my favorite albums of the 1980s, and I loved some of the other Costello/Lowe albums of the late 70s/early 80s. But this is the first album from him in a while that captured the old Costello that I like the best.
"Take Your Time", a duet between Al Green and Corinne Baley Rae from his new album, "Lay It Down". This album was produced by ?uestLove (no, that’s not a typo), from The Roots. It’s a return to form for Al and he is matched by CBR’s voice.
