Dear fellows
I’ve been lacking attention to La Musique. I know. There are some requests I failed to meet and some broken links I forgot to fix, but this will change. I am deeply sorry. I’ll post new albums, fix some links and try hard to find the ones that have been requested. I see some of you are waiting for Miike Snow and I’m really sorry, but I’ve not found anything new so far. My luck might change on the upcoming days and I hope it does so I can post it here for you guys.
I don’t think I’m the only one to notice this, but there are so many new bands every day. It’s hard to follow and I’m not into everything new so I find myself stuck listening to the same things. My question is: What have you been listening to? What’s been in your iPod lately? What bands/albums do you turn the volume up to?
Take a minute to answer this simple question. Help me here, peeps!
I’ll see you around. Have a lovely day :)

First tip is “Everybody Loves Irene”, a great Japanese trip-hop band. It was a great surprise to me. They are hard to find though. “Amana Melomé” has some very good tune. And why isn’t “Seu Jorge” here?
Probablt one of the best albums i found lately is “Bliss” with the album “No One Built This Moment”. Give “Oi Va Voi” a listen. And i shouldn’t forget “Zee Avi”… These are just some of the band i added to itunes in the past 4 weeks. If you need more, let me know :D

Hi
My playlists are traveling between 3 styles basiclly: nu-jazz, coll jazz and trip-hop. Thats for shure that I love a lot of eletronic too, but the new band are too much “teenager” (no offense).
I recomend: Rubin Steiner, Bonobo, Rekevin, FlyKKiller, Recoil, (from 80’s Siouxsie & The Banshees, Depeche Mode, New Order), Belleruche, Maarten well did on say “Everybody Loves Irene”, Chet Baker, oh, thats a lot of good stuff coming out on trip-hop and Jazz…
I have a lot of other stuffs,
Keep in touch!

June 11, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Oh, i forget to say:
The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (dark-jazz), Irmin Schmidt And Kumo (experimental), Lêndi Vexer (Argentina – Trip-hop), Ez3Kiel (France), Client (eletronic – Germany – UK), Skalpel (Polish)…

I realize it’s not new, so it may not be quite what you mean, but I’ve been hearing Crystal Castles in both the coffee shop I work in and the one I hang out at, and although I heard about them a year or so ago, I never got around to finding it. I figured I’d check here, but couldn’t find it, so otherwise…thanks for all you do.
Cheers,
Spencer

I concur on Bonobo, , Belleruche, Rekevin and Skalpel. And of course Depeche Mode. I don’t know most of the others. Worth checking out. I’ll have something to do tonight :-)
Crystal Castles is not for everyone. But it sure is some funky shit.
Some other suggestions:
Galactic (US), Bliss (Denmark), Ashok (UK), Wet Cookies (austria) and Mamanet (Ukraine)

I’m a bit late, but I have Miike Snow (excellent), and if you want, I could up it. I just have to figure out how (I’m technologically retarded).
The best album of the year is by “Lee Fields & The Expressionists”, and is called “My World”. It’s a soul album, and I really don’t normally like that sort of thing. It sounds really old school…..perhaps like a rip of an old record, except I’m pretty sure it’s a new album. If you want to hear it, it’s on iTunes. Just outstanding.

I’ve been listening to a lot of United Future Organization, Men from S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra.
Hope this brings some inspiration!

If you like Miike Snow, try Dan Black’s album “Un”. Definitely cool.
One of my favorites lately has been an instrumental hip-hop album from switzerland…it’s called “Mickey Mouse Operation” from Little People. Quality.
If you like Belleruche, try Mr. Cooper or Mr. Hill. More awesome instrumental hip-hop (or is it trip-hop?)
And some other quality:
Junior Boys – Begone Dull Care
JJ – JJ No 2
Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
CFCF – Panesian Nights
The Tremulance – Polaroids
Weathertunes – Palm Beach
Meanderthals – Desire Lines
Aydio – Deltitnu EP
Tycho – Past is Prologue
Windsurf – Coastlines

I mostly listen latin funk and latin lo-fi, that kind of music is more touching to me.
