Tandas to go

Steven Brown has posted a lengthy list of tandas, including comments. The music is from his list of “classic tangos” — good quality to be expected.

Tage wie dieser…

My rating: 5 out of 5

Meine absolute Lieblings-CD zur Zeit - geniale Texte, eine traumhafte Stimme, hinreissende Beats und Melodien… ich hätts mir nicht denken können nach dem Sommer Hit “Das ist die perfekte Welle” - aber der Rest der CD ist wirklich gut! ;)

Sie haben gesagt, es würde Regen geben,
doch wir sitzen hier seit Stunden, trinken Wein
und sind einfach nur am Leben.

Review: M.I.A. - Arular

Product Image: M.I.A. - Arular
My rating: 3 out of 5

The title above is a very good description of MIA’s music by Matthew Cooke. I had heard about M.I.A. first at a special show of austria’s FM4 radio station about this year’s Sonar Festival (Link to pics at flickr) in Barcelona, Spain; where she was one of the hyped newcomer acts or so. And she is - hyped but not overhyped. Her stuff is cool, new, fresh and refreshing. But then I am not so much in favor of the whole album… it hasn’t grown on me yet. But nevertheless: if you ever considered doing something good for your musical horizon, if you like tribal folk ‘lectro hip hop. Check her out.

Groovy & pink -

Pink’s new album has me hooked. It is full of good tracks with awesome beats, great words and other than that: a huge temptation to just start dancing. Even the slower songs have great rhythm - groovy. I suppose my neighbors and whoever is watching into my windows is wondering what cool music I am dancing to ;)
