Is It Ok To Eat Honey With Beeswax In It?

VV Brown - Travelling Like the Light



VV Brown is English, is very pop, made easy melodies, and is a strange mixture of Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse.

course. VV Brown

But it may be a bit more than that.

The girl came out last July's debut "Travelling Like The Light" arrangements very "smooth" to confuse the first listen, but not enough to get 12 songs that sweat and the fresh talent.

The songs, despite the texts, which sometimes verges on the ridiculous almost, a soulful voice, rhythmic and can no longer "pop" slamming.

One wonders how she does it, but everything is really amazing feat. The melodies come in without leaving the head, the magic happens, we enter the universe and we would like to find out what is the girl live.

Only as a little weak on the album, we are regularly surprised to zap "I Love You," but instead to dwell on these excellent "Leave!" and "Everybody" that sparkle with simplicity. "Shark in the Water" surprises with its contrasting light verse and chorus darker while the two ballads pretty "Travelling Like The Like" and "Crazy Amazing" are pleasing to the ear. Obviously the single "Crying Blood" is the title most catchy rock album and form, with "Quick Fix" a direct appeal foot love the 60's.

VV did not take the head, not trying to be hype, merely making music but with talent. She now signed his first album in the form of cogent argument in favor of pop.

From marshmallow, but good.

Mario Salieri Movie In 2010

Vampire Weekend - Contra


The revelers Vampire Weekend we had indeed caught in 2008, showing us that "no" it was the Californian rock not only 10-note synth hammered loop, and a disastrous lives of attitude I largely unpolished at the limit of disposal, in short, there was no qu'MGMT in town.

And here they tumble again in early 2010 and rockers set the tone. Students who met on the benches of Columbia have matured, the group has applied these four boys and well groomed in the head send us a constellation of emotions. A dozen songs at once joyous and melancholy, from the completely blocked ("Cousins") to the minimalist masterpiece ("I Think You're A Contra") without missing masterpiece of short ( "Giving Up The Gun"). No title is weak, the lyrics are flies, rhythms borrowed from the continent Africans are still effective and Ezra Koenig never sang as well.

Contra title means "contrary" and perfectly sums up this album, at once decadent and precursor, sad and happy, sweet and dancing, in a word, superb.

A big thank you gentlemen Californians, and we thought that would accrue to the English first, there waiting for her anticipated answers may be to look to the Wombats?

The future will tell, until we never tire of Contra.

Julian Casablancas - Phrazes For The Young

The coolest man on the planet.
Remember, the converse, that stuff that everyone saw as ugly 5 years ago, he and his friends the Strokes are the basis for their return. The Strokes, an incredible group, a first album that flapped like a spanking, (the cover says it all), a second album completely amazing, more introverted, warmer, more complex, or where they are least expected, and a 3rd album , latest, which goes in search of inspiration on the side of electro and teletubbies, class.

And now the man who is behind all this is called "good guys, they separate one year but not to lose the hand, writing a solo album," everyone drooling.

11th Dimension, the first single, incredible. One tick at the beginning on this line electro displayed, but they can only commend the gentleman before the power of the melodies and lyrics. A great title.

short, this lil guy promises he has already proved on multiple occasions, and waited the 8 songs by typing furiously foot.

verdict after several plays, the voice is there, still looks awesome, but the melodies and inspiration are gone. Of course, one always having fun on 11th Dimension, Glass is certainly damn touching, and certainly all still nice to hear but it is very far from the masterpiece that it was entitled to expect. Texts if not searched (Ludlow Street, tourist) linear songs (Out of the blue) and without much relief.

Deception so fucking Julian is waiting for you in better shape on the next Strokes album. Rest the voice

the greatest rock n roll at the moment, and at least one loop breaks with ugly cover art.

Male Brazilian Wax Erection?

Arctic Monkeys au Zenith de Paris par Tidusyl


Deciding to attend a concert by British band in France is not always an easy task, especially when the breakfast room is a Zenith or understand me better, a shed made of Tauler and filled with a multitude small ugly chairs and red plastic. Date

initial full so quickly that one more is added, in fact we say that so much for the room, the atmosphere will be the rendezvous for the return of our beloved earth Arctic Monkeys Frog.

Once again I will ignore the first part because our beloved Eagles Of Death Metal between their sound engineer and hark rock show monotonous a casting error is unacceptable for such a headline.

The curtain rises, our 4 monkeys appear in the artificial fog, drums resound and we went for a good hour and fifteen minutes of fun ... on paper!

So I agree, playing the last album in its entirety is surely not what the public expected, including myself by not hearing From The Ritz To The Rubble, but when you realize that only 4 people, ie you and your friends, jump, sing and dance, you think: 1) the Parisian public is rotten!
2) what are the people doing here?

Musically, the sound is always garage, the battery still needed and Matt Turner's voice, making you forget his new look for Cocaine hero, always take as much guts or at least those people who know why they are there.

And for this reason that it appears more than satisfied with this concert because even at 4, 1:15 this holiday was worth it. We note the explosion of confetti on Secret Door, the only general madness on I Bet You Look .. my side and the birth of a new quartet Amazing Dancers on Fluorescent Adolescent. And really why the Arctic Monkeys, thank you ...
