Its very hard to feature a musician that hasn't been blogged before and whom you couldn't contact to for those Press Kit and stuff. My saving grace is at least there were some decent portraits to choose from. Thanks for another great recommendation Saige. Jax Panik sound spells for a sexy mix of pop, rock, and electro, with catchy hooks, emo lyrics, sing-along choruses, and loads of dance appeal. If that kind of charm works for you, then you should listen to his 'Cigarettes and Cinnamon' (just get by the 1st minute and you'll be alright). Awesome. +/- Jax Panik From a young age it was clear that he was different from the other kids in his neighbourhood. While they were blowing stuff up and torturing little animals, he took up gymnastics and learnt to play the trombone. In high school Jax joined his first band, a punk act called 22 Stars. At varsity Jax played in various bands, regularly switching from guitarist to bassist to keyboardist, and everything in between! ...

I was not planning on posting this however my brother is sick in love with the beat. Maybe its a grower. One thing I know is not to expect less from Mos Def.

YUNÅ's 'Rocket' is an absolute exquisite. I don't post single songs for nothing so good luck in getting this off your mind after. I can't believe we almost got famous for nothing baby You came the last minute of --- to save me I can't believe we almost got paid for nothing baby Cause even if they go away I got the feeling that you're gonna stay Rocket by YUNÅ

Florence and the Machine's 'Kiss with a Fist' is my constant rotation these days. I guess I just couldn't say no to the drums. At first I can't figure out if the track was specially done by a single artist and a band. Florence and the Machine actually is a creative collaboration of 'Florence Welch', UK quality songwriter/singer and her 'Machine', standing nearby playing an instrument. With the help of her 'Machine' she subdued teasing and eardrum-numbing beats in a music generation of streaming female trailblazers. +/- Florence and the Machine Often incorporating other musicians such as Lightspeed Champion’s Dev Hynes in her live performance, Welch has created an American influenced sound that goes from light and ironic indie pop (”My Boy Builds Coffins”) to abrasive punk inspired power ballads (”Bird Song Rehersal Version”) without batting an eye. Her first single “Kiss With A Fist” combines the bitterness of Alanis Morrisette with the sty...

I normally dont post videos because dozens are premiered each day. But I refuse to ignore this one. Its Alphabeat!! +/- Oh, when I said I need you so much I was dead, I was alive when you were right here by my side, We both could see that I needed you, you needed me, And now we both regret, Regret what we said. What Is Happening? by Alphabeat Alphabeat 's the only band who could make me cry and smile at the same time. Their colorful choreos and superb beats makes my day juvenile always. If youre still not convinced, here are some of their brilliant tracks (my old posts were deleted). Boyfriend (UK Version) Go Go 10,000 Nights of Thunder Fascination Touching Me Touching You

I wanna go live and die in Paris. Doesn't everyone? All the cool people are just there. Im working on my French and hopefully Ill get there, someday. Hehe. Now one of these chosen entities Im referring to is Dan Black. If you're familiar with Sam Sparro and Walter Meego , who by the way is a solo avant-garde disco act, you'll also like him. Dan Black is currently working on his debut album to be release next year. Dan Black Living in self imposed exile in Paris, Dan Black meshes sounds and genres with the same fluidity, ease and cultural nous as his heroes David Bowie and The Neptunes to create his own blue-eyed culture clash of soul, hip hop, rock and electronica and the result is utterly beguiling.

The Killers officially has the funniest and most intriguing lyrics. It started with a low light Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed And then they took my blood type They left a strange impression in my head Hmmm... If 'Spaceman' gets your taste buds mad, wait for the release of their new album, 'Day and Age' this Nov 24. Spaceman by The Killers

The world definitely is going crazy over M.I.A. A new album is in the woodworks but mp3s has been already flying everywhere. I aint complaining though, here's a new track from the Sri Lankan chick. S.U.S. (Save Ur Soul) aka “Way Down In The Hole” by M.I.A. x Blaqstarr

If you're in for killer harmonious instruments, Medeski, Martin & Wood is the name you're looking for. I always go for vocals but this jazzfunksoul brothers does perfect without it. They have a new record, 'Radiolarians 1'- the first of a three part series of new recordings and I was lucky to be given a copy. Here's a few tracks for you to listen to this amazing ensemble. +/- Medeski, Martin & Wood Medeski Martin & Wood, or MMW, is a jazz trio originally formed in 1991, consisting of John Medeski on keyboards, Billy Martin on drums and percussion, and Chris Wood on double bass and bass guitar. Medeski Martin & Wood was initially a straightforward acoustic jazz trio, but Medeski quickly added a Hammond organ when the difficulties of touring with a piano became apparent. This more soul jazz oriented direction led to the incorporation of other musical genres, including funk, hip hop, trip hop and free jazz. Medeski has also utilized a number of differen...

Gladshot gives me a happy tingling feeling inside.One thing I like about them is the positive substance of their songs whilst referring to heart-drenching tales. A band whose sound is honest, versatile and listener-friendly should be given a chance to unfold their music to the rest of the populace. +/- Gladshot Gladshot is a New York City band from Debbie Andrews and Mike Blaxill, two artists who've gotten together to prove that literate, finely-wrought pop can spring from the combination of two quite distinct musical minds.
