A little bit of everything.


The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go


This is the song that you've probably recognized off fo the Apple-Ipod commercial recently. It's 'Shut up and Let Me Go,' by the Ting Tings; a new British arrival on the scene that has recently released their album 'We Started Nothing,' already #1 on the UK charts, and have released several additional singles ['That's Not my Name,' 'Great DJ']. They're a great band, though they aren't making up their own genre of any sorts, all their songs are fun and addictive.

Also, check out the great Calvin Harris remix of their song Great DJ.

Poets of the Fall is a great Finnish band that I've recently discovered through several friends. They've been around for a good several years, and have released several albums and LPS. Unfortunately, it's extremely hard to find a good price on their actual cd to import into the United States for under 50 dollars even if I'd really want to buy it. That's why I'm offering this download of their hit song 'Carnival of Rust,' for a week's time. It's great alternative.

On a more recent note, there's a woman named Duffy that's being rumored to be the next Amy Winehouse, lyric and vocal wise that is, seeing as most certainly she doesn't seem to be going down the path of alcohol destruction that the 'Rehab,' singer did. She actually recently won against the best new artist The Last Shadow Puppets for her song 'Mercy,' as the best single of the year at the Canadian Music Awards. That song was also avalible free for download on Itunes for a good while, and it has to be one of the best that they've offered. This woman has an extroadinary voice that combines the sounds of jazz and modern alternative/pop in one.

Anyways. Check out her single 'Warwick Avenue,' here for mp3 download temporarily. This is for promotional use only, and it is licensed to the artist.
