New Music: The Go! Team featuring Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast

I'm a huge fan of the Go!Team, I think I posted a picture of one of their gigs that I attended. I'm on the fence about this song, I think it is going to take a couple of listens to get into. But, it would be perfect for a work out mix! The album is called 'Rolling Blackouts' and it is released on January 31 in the U.S. and January 30 in the UK. The lead single "Buy Nothing Day", is out January 24.

Free Music Download: My Chemical Romance - Save Yourself Hold Them Back

Save Yourself Hold Them Back



I can't believe it has been 4 years since 'Black Parade' was realised. The new album is long over due for a release. I've liked all the songs I've heard from it so far, but I'll have to wait to see if it will surpass 'Black Parade'
I had black Parade on repeat for months! 


My favourite songs from Black Parade


Teenagers



I Don't Love You

Heard this on "Raising Hope" and immediately fell in love with The Postelles!

New Music Post: Ingrid Michaelson - Parachute

Some people have heard the Cheryl Cole version of this song, but it was originally written by Ingrid and she decided to record her own version. She said on twitter: "there are some angry people out there so i should clarify...i cowrote Parachute over a year ago and the lovely Cheryl Cole recorded it and in the beginning of this year. i am not trying to top her. her version is great. just doing my own version of my own song. live&love."


This version is more my style, so I'm loving it at the moment.

I'm Loving....Mad Men Theme Song (With a Twist)

It is remix... match up...mash up of RJD2′s 'A Beautiful Mine' (the 'Mad Men's' theme song) and 'Nature Boy' by Nat King Cole . The stunning girl in the video is  Allison Williams, Brian Williams' daughter. I would love to hear more of her, she is had a stunning voice.


Peace + Love,

Free Music Download: Fistful of Mercy.

It's been too long mes amies! 


I feel I should explain my slight absence. I started this blog when I desperately needed a creative outlet. I had a job I hated and needed to get out of. Over the past few months, I did just that. My job gives me the outlet I need and this blog is slowly becoming redundant. I don't have time to write the original content that I initially wanted to focus on. 


That said, this is not the end of the blog, it just means that I won't update as much. 
And to my dear readers because according to google analytics I have readers...shocking! I'll carry on updating this blog, but not on a daily basis. I still have stuff I want to post, new music to show you and of course the free music downloads (as long as Kanye's people don't come after me again!).


And while we are on the topic of free music. Fistful of Mercy, the new supergroup started by Dhani Harrison, Ben Herper and Joseph Arthur are giving away a free single. Simply click on the link below and sign up to their mailing list... easy peasy! Their album "As I call you down" was released on the 5th of October so if you like what you hear grab yourself a copy.

Cover VS Original: Red Hot Chili Peppers VS Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground

Heard this on Law and Order: Los Angeles (lets avoid talking about what a mediocre show it is) and I couldn't get it out of my head. Not only is this my favourite Stevie Wonder song, it is also an amazing cover. 


The original for those who haven't heard it also known as "those living under a rock".

Cover VS Original: Dolly Parton VS Whitney Houston - I will always love you

Dolly Parton


Whitney Houston



Due to the poularity of Whitney's version, a lot of people do not know that the song is originally by Dolly Parton.
I prefer Dolly's version because it so much simpler and feels more heartfelt. Whitney has the better voice, but Dolly just sells the song better to me.
