New Releases: June 22

Written on June 22, 2010 by Andy in Music

We’re going to start in with our NXNE coverage this afternoon, so this morning we’re going to have our usual New Releases post.

Everyone is high on the Eminem release, but I’ve never been a big fan of his, so I don’t think I’ll be getting it. Beyond that, there’s the return of Ugly Casanova with the 180 Soundtrack, the new releases from Kele and Stars, and the new one from The Roots. Lots to get into this week.

As ever, there are a couple of tracks after the list. We hope you find something to enjoy.

Derek Trucks Band – Roadsongs
Eminem – Recovery

1000 Minutes: Dave #43

Written on February 5, 2010 by Dave in Music

1000 Minutes: Dave #43 Here is my complete list to this point.

87. Doves – Pounding from The Last Broadcast (4:45) [Time Remaining: 642:30]

The words to describe just how I feel about this record – as well as about this band in general – are hard to come by. I’ve already included ‘There Goes The Fear’ from The Last Broadcast in my 1K, and a few other songs from it may eventually make their way into this list. The driving beat in this song will never grow old and the simple rhythm guitars are just wonderful in composing the melody of the tune. ‘Pounding’ is about fleeting moments, and making the most of the time you have. I can’t think of a better way to make the most of my time than by listening to music from this incredible band.

88. The Roots – The Seed (2.0) Ft Cody Chesnutt from Phrenology (4:28) [Time Remaining: 638:02]

If somehow you find yourself unaware, this song is technically a cover. The man whose lovely voice you hear in the chorus and playing the pleasing guitars is Cody Chesnutt, the original author of this song. The Roots essentially reworked the song a bit and upped the tempo, but it is kept mostly intact from Chesnutt’s original. Delightfully seedy in lyrical content, this is just an immensely satisfying song.
