“I find it exciting to be alive and be a working musician, and all these things just keep opening up for me..."
~Sarah Slean (from National Post interview)
Needless to say, I'm a little obsessed with the music competitions - for obvious reasons....
I especially love the UK competitions - they seem to always have these jaw dropping moments...these incredible voices that finally have their well deserved moment in the spotlight.
And cue 16-year old Janet Devlin from a small town in Northern Ireland - who sang in her bedroom as way to escape and dream.
Music for End of Days
Time is of the Essence When Planning an 'End of Days' Playlist
by: Consuelo Bernardi
Judgement Day.
The Rapture.
The Apocalypse.
End Of Days.
Doomsday.
End of the world.
So I take it you've heard? The end of the world is fast approaching.
It's all supposed to happen tomorrow, Saturday. May 21, 2011...at 6 p.m.
Cause I love a good cover song....
Here is the UK dance punk band, Friendly Fires with their cover of the Depeche Mode track, 'Strangelove'.
I love this version. I had it on repeat a lot yesterday afternoon.
Their new album 'Pala' is now out on iTunes.
Manchester Orchestra is an indie rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Their latest album, 'Simple Math' was released last week.
The band is headed by singer/songwriter/guitarist Andy Hull.
Just because cause I'm in a music video kinda mood...and it's a random collection at that.
Winter Gloves 'Dancing My Heart Out'
Raphael Saadiq 'Stone Rollin'
Matthew Mayfield 'Missed Me'
I often sing the praises of DJs...how they can seamlessly connect layers of music in one constant flow, as they create and maintain the mood and energy of the crowd and listeners they are out to entertain.
Bottom line they have mad skillz and I wish I possessed that talent. But for the record, I did kick some ass at the whole creating a mixed tape thing....I was lightening fast at that record stop, pause technique on my Sharp Dual AM/FM Cassette Player Boombox. Word.
Found this track on the weekly video picks from the website 'Culture Addicts'.
Great beat, lots of synth and as Culture Addicts put it...very grimy.
Styrofoam Ones 'Pavement'
Can't. Stop. Listening. To. This.
Love x 1000.
Adele Vs Robin S - Show Me Love Vs Rolling In The Deep (Djs From Mars Bootleg Remix)
"
So I've blogged about Lovett on the Bsides a few times in the past few months already...he's up there on my current musical obsession list.
Better known for his movie scores, Lovett's singer/songwriter side was finally unleashed.

Consuelo Bernardi is a 30-something mummy of two. She can't play an instrument or sing a tune in key but is still obsessed with music. After a five year hiatus from the radio business she's back on the air doing weekends on Majic 100, Today's Soft Rock in Ottawa.
Still she always found the time to listen to music and make it a huge part of her life. She has more CDs than she cares to count and her monthly downloading bill for her iPod? Don’t even go there. Music truly is food for her soul. Plus secretly she’s always wanted to be a wannabe rock star...a girl can dream.
So take a minute from your day and crank up the volume. Motherhood isn't always pretty but at least your music will be hot.
