One of the best songs from The Cure, in my view. A classic!

Enjoy The Cure – Close to me below

Today’s single is an old rock / alternative track from the Romanian band AB4. It’s called Nu-ti fa griji in Romanian (approx “Don’t worry” in English) and was released in the 2000s, when the band had a big success. It remained one of the refference songs for the Romanian rock scene.

Today’s song comes from Kasabian and their 2011 album – Velociraptor. With a Gorrilaz-like sound, it starts great and continues… okish :)

Enjoy Kasabian – Man of Simple Pleasures below. And have a great weekend!

This is strange… this song is quite nice but I cannot really share the video. I do appreciate that anyone has the right to their own image, but I have the right not to share it – that girl is way too fat :). Still, she has a great voice, which is probably the reason why this song makes it here.

Therefore, Gossip – Heavy Cross (lyrics video).

From about ten days ago, a song I’ve heard and enjoyed a lot. It is not the original version – by Zager and Evans – but a version that sounds very good in my view.

Enjoy The Feeling – In the year 2525

A friend shared this on facebook a couple of days ago. Sounds quite interesting, I particularly like Kyla’s voice.

Enjoy Kyla La Grange – Vampire Smile below

Byron is an artist I followed since about ten years ago, since he was playing with Kumm and Urma. Since 2006 he started the byron project and they released four albums so far. This year they are releasing their fifth, and this is special :).

“Live Underground” is a DVD that was filmed with the band playing live in the Turda salt mine. This is one of the most famous salt mines in Romania, a popular touristic place and a location considered to have great acoustics. Dan, the lead singer of byron, recently gave an interview where he explained in more detail how the show was filmed – it’s quite interesting and you can find it here (Romanian version only).

For their album release, which is going to happen of 3rd of May in Silver Church in Bucharest, the band asked the bloggers to imagine and propose a scenario to record a video for one of the band’s songs. So I thought of two of them, both of them related to the salt mine – even though I’m not so sure the guys will want to go back there :)

- first of all, I think the Zeitgeist song would fit great. The salt mine gives the impresion of a labirinth and can easily serve as setting for a prison, work camp or such. It would be a powerful video for Zeitgeist to simulate the manipulations and some of the oppresions typical for a work camp, some of them relating with the lyrics of Zeitgeist. Listen to the song for yourselves below

- another song, which I am quite fond of, is Ochii Tai. Listening to this and picturing the band playing it in the salt mine, one of the video ideas I thought of was the a boy, chasing a girl in the dark, seeing only her eyes. As I said before, the salt mine looks like a labirinth, so again the setting is there. This is one of the very few songs the band sings in Romanian and I think it deserves a video of its own :). The song is below.

What do you think? Which byron song would you like to see in a video and what would be the scenario?

P.S. Find more about byron on their website or on facebook.

From somewhere between alternative and hard rock, Plush became one of the best known song from Stone Temple Pilots. And for no particular reason, it fits as song of today :)

Enjoy it below!

If you can’t attend Coachella this year, you can still see it live, on their youtube live streaming. As you probably know, the lineup this year includes Arctic Monkeys, DJ Shadow, Gotye, Kaiser Chefs, Kasabian, Noel Gallagher, Pulp, Radiohead, St. Vincent and oh so many others!

Enjoy!

It’s been 7 years since the last Garbage album and the band are set to release a new one, Not Your Kind of People, next month. So far, two singles have been released, which you can listen to below.

In my view, Blood for Poppies sounds significantly better, more alive and it emphasises better Shirley Manson’s voice. Which one you prefer?
