I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you, and I don’t know what I’ll do without you

Portishead used to be great. I used to love their songs. I used to love the voice of that singer: Beth Gibbons. It was a long time ago. It took them 10 years to come back, and I’m glad they did, because I love their new album. It’s simply put: magnificent. Portishead’s music still has the same hypnotic feeling I remember from their old songs. Beth Gibbons’ voice is absolutely beautiful.

It took me a while to finally get this album (it’s been there for a while), and I regret I didn’t bought it before. If you still don’t have it, you’re crazy.

Anyway, go read more reviews about this album: at the bbc, at culture bully, at pitchfork. Visit their official site, and their myspace page.

And for the good old times, one great video, Only you

Only you

Tool is the greatest band in the world. That’s all I need to say. And sober is one of their amazing songs (and one of my favorites). Oh, and the video is freaky, and so cool. Enjoy!

Keeley Hazell isn’t just a good looking girl. She’s now a pop singer. Actually, damn sexy pop singer. Here you have a teaser of Keeley Hazell’s debut single, ‘Voyeur’. The full video will be available on May 2.

“Minnie the Moocher” is a jazz song first recorded in 1930 by Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, selling over 1 million copies. “Minnie the Moocher” is most famous for its nonsensical ad libbed (”scat”) lyrics (for example, “Hi De Hi De Hi De Hi”). In performances, Calloway would have the audience participate by repeating each scat phrase in a form of call and response, eventually Calloway’s phrases would become so long and complex that the audience would laugh at their own failed attempts to repeat them.

“Minnie the Moocher” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

I’m very excited about the new Portishead album that is supposed to be released in April. That band was really great, and I hope they still are. Actually, I think they still are.

This is the video for Machine Gun, the first single of their new album called Third. I love it, it’s pretty dark and crazy.

It’s been a while since we had some music on this blog, so I thought we could have some today. Something cool, something awesome, some of a favorite of mine. Mr. Buddy. Rich..

From 1971. Pat LaBarbera on tenor, and Jeff Stout on trumpet. The mute Jeff was using started to fall out of his trumpet and Lin Biviano pulled it out. A great arrangement

I recently discover the amazing, amazing music of Ludovico Einaudi, and I immediatelly fell in love. It’s just beautiful. I suggest you go out there, and look for more music by this italian composer and pianist. You’ll keep loving it more and more.
