doris day - dream a little dream of me

[Al B. Sure!]

You call Atlantic Starr saccharine sweetness vomit then post Doris Day? What's the difference on the saccharine index?

[Al B. Sure!]

[C0ckney]

i think there must be something wrong with your ears.

anyway, here's a lady whose covers i've posted before, but here's a few tracks off her debut album. she's going to be huge and rightly so.



anna calvi - riders to the sea



anna calvi - blackout



anna calvi - i'll be your man

[C0ckney]

damian donato - life support system

[Asher]

Cold War Kids - Royal Blue
(off the brand new LP!)

[C0ckney]

those with long memories may recall that i posted a couple of tracks by this guy in the last thread, from his low culture album, including a fascinating number which combined, a kora, a melodeon and a violin with some wonky dubstep. i've recently been exploring his earlier stuff, some great english folks music with an electronic twist. check it out



jim moray - early one morning



jim moray - sweet england



jim moray - the week before easter



jim moray - poverty knock

[C0ckney]

some classic punk. these guys were famous for being shane mcgowan's first band and also featured shanne bradley who later co-founded men they couldn't hang.



the nipple erectors - king of the bop



the nipple erectors - all the time in the world

[Al B. Sure!]

Nipple Erectors? What a ****ty name.

Though the first song isn't half bad. How is that punk rock? Sounds like some 1950's rock n roll. The second one sounds like in between that and obnoxious screaming punk rock.

[C0ckney]

dude, most early punk harks back to early days of rock 'n' roll. 3 chords, played fast and furious and a bit of singing/shouting over the top.

and the nipple erectors is a great name

I've heard the punk rock that you and thoth post. It's not Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis. It's obnoxious loud dumb screaming **** that hurts my ears.

[C0ckney]

no it's chuck berry speeded up and with more shouting. if you don't believe me, you need to listen to more punk music, and probably more 50s rock 'n' roll as well.

although having said that, punk can describe a fairly wide variety of music, it's hard to define and if you ask 20 people to define punk, you'll get 20 different answers.

with more shouting? It's called screaming. And yes, Chuck Berry speeded up with screaming (and throw in some intrusive distorted guitars and some stupid anti-social, anti-establishment, rebel with no cause dumb ****) is pretty ****ing bad.

[C0ckney]

well that's your opinion and i take it from where it comes.

anyway, here's sheffield band the violet may, with a somewhat unsafe for work video.



the violet may - bright or better

i'm waiting for someone to put up some decent versions of their other songs.

[Al B. Sure!]

cool video and the rhyme scheme in Kweli's 3rd verse is bananas.
