I've been listening to Frank Turner's music ever since I first heard Long Live The Queen on Radio 1. Because I loved that song so much I bought Love Ire & Song which has some truly wonderful songs on it. Frank's latest album is Poetry of the Deed which was less instant than the previous album, but still great.
Stick with it past the load screen....brilliant...
Interesting. DRM free MP3s from Amazon. They'd be cheap too if that price was converted from $$ to ££.
Wow, the BBC Sound Index is cool. It trawls through social music sites to get a top 1000 chart of artists and tracks.
"The Sound Index is a massive index of the hottest bands and tracks that are being talked about on the internet right now.
Every six hours the Sound Index crawls some of the biggest music sites on the internet - Bebo, MySpace, Last.FM, iTunes, Google and YouTube - to find out what people are writing about, listening to, watching, downloading and logging on to. It then counts and analyses this data to make an instant list of the most popular 1000 artists and tracks on the web. The more blog mentions, comments, plays, downloads and profile views an artist or track has, the higher up the Sound Index they are. So, the Sound Index is a music buzz index controlled entirely by the public."
ITunes and YouTube seems to dominate, but you can make your own chart, picking the services you like.
Not only do I love this song, but the video is cool as well. Check out the big list of cameos: Billy Gibbons, Gene Simmons, Jerry Cantrell and Ted Nugent!
There was an excellent documentary on BBC4 last night about the physicist Hugh Everett, who invented the Many Worlds Theory, he also happened to be the father of E from Eels, who is discovering more about his father. More about them both here.
Physics, history and cool music.
Even though it was repeat it's on the iPlayer until next week here.
Audio: Share a song with powerful lyrics.
Pretty much the whole of McFly Greatest Hits which is on infinite repeat in the car...
However of particular note is Star Girl which has the lyrics....
"And I was afraid when you kissed me, On your intergalactical frisbee"
and
Genius
" Hey, there's nothing on Earth that could save us, When I feel in love with Uranus"
Last nights episode of Flight Of The Conchords was brilliant, as usual. I laughed so much at Bowie I had to find it on YouTube and watch again.
Do you need my jumper Bowie?
