Sooo... I find a new album. Sounds great. Deft pop hooks, great vocals, interesting twiddly bits. Thinking I must be very slow off the mark and these are the new flavour of the month, I check out all the hipster music sites.

Nothing. Zip. Nada. Nowt.

Then, belatedly, I check Last.fm and this fantastic pop band have just over 700 listeners. If ever there was a time to say WTF, this is it. That The Lonely Forest, who produced this week's top track, should have so few listeners is unreasonable. Improbable. It won't last - pop music is wonderfully, gloriously contagious. And The Lonely Forest are virulent popteria. Get into them now waaaaay before everyone else!



And the best old track? Well, that was Billy Taylor's 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free.' Just sublime. Music keeps you young! :-)

Tonight's best new song was 'Living Through Losses: 02/30/01' by Endwell. Call it metalcore, posthardcore or whateveryouwantcore, all I hear is a raging track that's both hellishly riffy and makes me want to do floorpunches. Check out their new album, 'Consequences,' if you're ever in the need for a dose of shouty loveliness.



The best old track was Yazoo's 'Situation.' Anything Vince Clarke touches turns to gold but Yazoo were amazing because of the collision of his popness with Alison Moyet's incredible voice. Bluesy, soulful and intensely emotional in precisely the way that's lacking in all the post-Winehouse clones clogging-up Radio One. Listen and learn, wannabees!

Tonight's best new track was Recordkingz' 'Keep On.' Just a supreme slice of hip hop. Head nodding brilliance. Check out the album, 'Heavyweight' is you're at all into your hip hop. Ace.



The best old track was Devo's 'It's Not Right.' I've probably had a Devo song as best old tune before but fuckit, they're beyond genius. Oh, to find a modern rock band with a quintillionth the grace, passion and politics of the Spud Boys. *sigh*

Tonight's best new track was 'Endless Love' by The Fresh & Onlys. It just rips right in there, all Vaselines swagger with a touch of Beat Happening rockabillyness. Lovely stuff!



The best old track was '93 'Til Infinity' by Souls Of Mischief. Makes me feel old remembering when I heard this for the first time. Such a long time ago and yet it's as frrrresh as ever. A definite head-nodder.

The best new track on Wednesday was 'Tony The Tiger' by Manchester Orchestra. I love the build of this guitarry stormer, I love the pace and I love his voice. Please check out their new album, 'Mean Everything To Nothing' which was released last Tuesday.



The best old track had to be 'Warm Leatherette' by The Normal. It's a seminal electro-pop song springing from the genius of Daniel Miller. I also had to play it because it was inspired by 'Crash,' written by the equally-genius J.G. Ballard, who passed away last Sunday. R.I.P.

Wednesday's best new track was by Akira Kiteshi and it was the awesome 'Glitch Pt 1&2.' As soon as I first (illegally) heard this stuttering, grunting, groinking track, I nipped onto iTunes and bought the single. Wonderful, rich electronic music.



The best old track was by tonight's featured artist, The Hidden Cameras. Although it could have been any of them, I have to go with 'A Miracle' as this song has helped me through some dark times. Joel Gibb's voice, the beautiful lyrics and the silky strings add up to one of my favourite ever recordings.

The best new track at this week's Bzangy was the superb 'Standing On The Shoulders Of The Carcass Of John Mayer' by Canadian Invasion. Who, of course, aren't a Canadian band at all, they appear to be from Philadelphia. On their MySpace, they say they sound like Wilco, Spoon, The National and a host of other melodic indie rockers. That's all true but the glaring omission is the band they sound most like: Teenage Fanclub. If you like all those bands, you should definitely check out their album, 'Three Cheers For The Invisible Hand.' It's going to be one of my top indiepop albums of this year. It's overflowing with catchy songs.

'John Mayer' is a fantastically hooky song - and you can download it for free by clicking here! Thanks, Canadian Invasion!



The best old track was 'Jimmy's Fantasy' by Redd Kross. Damn, I haven't played this track for years. It used to be a Blue Note staple, way back when. And it still rocks now. Great song! Extra cred points if you know how they're linked to another band in the playlist below ;-)

Click any of the pics for a little gallery!

Woohoo! Last night, I went to Creative Blocks at Big Blue and had an ace time. Loads of lovely people, great music plus decaff! Mmm...




First on was Leni Ward. Coupling quite dour electro backing with a beautiful voice, parts of her set reminded me of Laurie Anderson (though I'm guessing Imogen Heap is who she's usually compared to). Very intense, often quite bleak. In a good way!




Then, upstairs for Origamibiro and The Joy Of Box. OB were doing the music, TJOB was providing the visuals. Sorry the pics are so grainy but, as there was a projector, the room was basically dark.

Origamibiro make their music by sampling the scrunching and tearing of bits of paper and then looping those samples. Then they add to this with banjos, guitars, matchboxes whatever. The sound is electronic in a warm, organic and quite claustrophobic way. I loved their set but had to leave early cos I was knackered and I've got root canal work at the dentists' today. This sadly meant I missed Nova Robotics, who were due to play quite late.

A big thanks to Creative Blocks for putting on yet another fabulous night! It was wonderful to go out on a Friday in Derby and see some different live music. This city can get a bit guitar-centric so seeing live electronic music is always good! :-)]]> http://www.last.fm/user/JyotiMishra/journal/2009/02/27/2iq6m7_bzangy_groink_playlist_25209 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:18:44 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/JyotiMishra/journal/2009/02/27/2iq6m7_bzangy_groink_playlist_25209

The best new track on Wednesday was by Factor. 'Pray' is just an awesome hip hop pop song, catchy, beaty, meaty fun. I reckon if you love stuff like Why?, you'll probably love all of Factor's stuff too.



The best old song was 'Straight Outta Compton' by N.W.A. Damn - is the album really twenty-one years old this year? Still sounds killer, still true.
