Shere Khan: He Looks Familiar.
British actor Theo James makes an impressive crossover to music with Shere Khan. You saw the movie Underworld: Awakening right?

Ingrid Michaelson
Oh no! I am hooked to Ingrid’s one song. I was searching for more bands. It was for my other blog. This artist popped in the playlist. The Way I Am is the catchiest song I heard in ages. I did some research and found out that several TV shows already featured her songs. Better … Continue reading »

The making of the making of(TMOTMO): Gay indie-pop music!
“You’re just stringing me along” and “you only crave attention”, these are the main lines in the song Take off Straight Boy by the making of the making of.

Mary Macgregor “Dancing Like Lovers”
I know I am going off tangent here by posting something that isn’t indie and an old song from 1980. I just stumbled upon this a few minutes ago. I have the vinyl LP but while moving to Manila, I lost it along the way. I miss it especially this opening track. Been playing this … Continue reading »
Pierre Massé – Little Black Submarines (The Black Keys Cover)
I love the cover of this song from The Black Keys. Pierre Masse is a real artist. He makes something fascinating out of something so simple as carrying a cellphone with a decent camera and taking shots of his moving feet. I mean who would have thought of that? His voice has grown stronger and expressive too. An EP … Continue reading »
New Track from Jork
Chinese Whispers for Drunk Assholes…kind of a tasty name for a track that combines elements of Jazz-very progressive though and scales that approach atonal elements. Jork has mastered the sense of atmosphere and textural beauty. Is this going to be the new direction for a new album after the two offers: Uneasy Truce and Superanuated? … Continue reading »
