My Personal Summer Hit of 2012 1

My Personal Summer Hit of 2012

  Every year, there’s a song which dominates the radio during the summer – the summer hit. This year, there’s not yet such a song. I would like to nominate this drum ‘n’ bass song by Rudimental, featuring John Newman, called ‘Feel the Love’. It’s not an exceptionally happy song, which summer hits almost always are, but the message is there: feel the love. I first noticed this song during broadcast of the European Championship, the public broadcaster ‘NOS’ uses this song to compile the matches in a summary. Not...

In Honor of the Sun Shining Today

Ever wondered how ‘Here Comes the Sun’ could’ve sounded if they added a guitar-solo in the middle? Well, no need for wondering anymore, as you can hear it in this video at exactly 1:01.

I’m sitting here, behind my desk, trying to write an essay and a presentation. I’ve been sitting here all day long. I’m currently getting one of my infamous headaches. I’m not going to bitch about it, popped some aspirin, and I’m currently waiting for them to kick in. Meanwhile, I’m quietly listening to some relaxing tracks to pass the time. Then I thought, why not share these songs? I’m going to post three songs after the jump, which are really worth listening to. So be sure to ‘continue reading’. As...

It’s still tuesday night, and if you’re not watching one of my movie suggestions, you might as well enjoy this. One of the greatest songs live performed, unplugged by an aging David Gilmore. You’re welcome.

Seeing as this is a new blog, I shall grab this opportunity to introduce my favourite band – Faunts. Faunts is a Canadian post-rock indie band. That’s music-language for relaxing, almost atmospheric music. I’ll give you an example: This band has made two full albums, an EP and an album full of remixes. They are sadly on hiatus, and little is known if they will ever produce a new album. I stumbled upon this band as one of their songs (the one above) featured in the credits of a videogame...
