ACCEPTABLE TO THE EDITORS

I know. A blog that just hit number 1 on Hype Machine is posting a Calvin Harris cover by The Editors… But just visualize it. Your at a Death 80’s prom party that has been playing Echo And the Bunny men and Talking heads - Burning down the house.

We all remember ‘Embrace’ by PNAU, featuring our favourite sweetheart Ladyhawke, right? … well I just got a lovely re-edit by DJ DLG , making this track more killer in the clubs. ( I also recommend you cool cats out there to check out “DJ DLG - Paramount (Rogerseventytwo Remix)” )

WE ALL NEED LOVE

Yeah, said its all right
I wont forget
All the times Ive waited patiently for you
And you’ll do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

GENESIS

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

MP3: Justice - Sure You Will [mediafire]

OK, I know this post wasn’t that descriptive as I wanted to leave some people guessing on what the heck this track was. At first I bet you wouldn’t have guessed it was Justice ey?

So I’ve done some reading on it in the past week or so and made up my own hypothesis which happened to match the comment made by deanna…:

Justice initially formed for a French concept album.They
were asked by a friend at Poplane Records to contribute a song
to a compilation called Musclorvision: Hits Up ToYou! The
concept? The bands had to pretend they were taking part in the
Eurovision song contest.

SONG OF THE WEEK

First up is an absolute french classic. A fantastic duet by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. She has such a beautiful voice.
Second is a track taken from Para One’s soundtrack to the 2007 French film ‘La Naissance des Pieuvres’. The entire album is such a departure from his usual Dudun-Dun sound, and surprising just how well he is able to craft downtempo music as well as dancin tunes.
