Songs of the Week

I didn’t want to do a ‘Song of the Week’ type thing, but seeing as I keep having problems getting a proper mixer, I am not able to make any podcasts how I’d like to. So here are some songz for the time being…

Boys Noize

Boys Noize just released a promotional copy of his new album ‘Power’ and I’ve been listening to it a bunch this past week. In my opinion most of it is not very special, but there is one track that I really dig.  It’s a real low-fi, late night kind of track.

Turzi

Turzi’s new album ‘B’ (which is not even out yet) has 10 tracks, all with names starting with the letter B. Kind of a weird concept for kind of a weird band. I saw them live once in London and I just remember being blasted by a lot of analog noise. A lot of music is not so good but one of their new songs, ‘Buenoas Aires’, is a pretty cool track.

Midnight Special

Now this is what I have really been listening to (watching) this week. My roommates and I have been scouring youtube for clips of the Midnight Special show from back in the 70′s. All the classic players seemed to have performed on this show – Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, ELO, Journey, ABBA, Frampton, etc. I sort of wish I had the DVD set from the TV infomercial. Anyhow, I never heard of this band before but I am hooked on this song.

Don’t you just love how the chorus is more mellow than the verse?
