Discovery of the week

One of my favorite U.S. city has to be Knoxville TN. So when I found out about this band called The Black Lillies, which members refer to themselves as Knoxville natives, there was no hesitation that I had to make sure to listen to their latest album - which was out in late march- titled "Runaway Freeway Blues". Upon gathering some information about them turns out that they preformed multiple times at the Grand Ole Opry, which pretty much says everything. But before you take your card out, and buy their album there is one more information I can't hold back, and will seal the deal: they are independent, that means they do whatever the hell they want whether it's music or the way they dress or where they go.

“I think it’s an amazing thing we can have fan support and stay independent and be able to offer up an experience to our fans and not just, ‘here’s our music and just come to a show’,but ‘let me give you some art, let me give you something that you’re going to be able to connect with.’ Because that’s what we’re trying to do every day with our music, is connect with them. We have family all across the United States because of that" The wise word of the vocalist of the band Trisha Gene Brady.

Fried rice anyone? I got Duck Sauce.

Barbra Streisand? If you are that person who started to "whoo oooh ooo"... after reading that, well you are right. After their super annoying hit "Barbra Streisand", Duck Sauce come out with another -I'd dare to go there- annoying song. I'm not crazy about it but I obviously listened to it (multiple or maybe too many times).

So this week there will be no voting because no. This week won't be democratic, this week will be a little different. So here is the question for the week: How annoying Duck Sauce's new single is on a 1-5 scale.

1, Catchy
2, Not annoying
3, Catch yourself involuntarily singing it
4, The fact that you are singing it, bothers you much
5, Damn you Three Goblins and an Umbrella to showing me this song.

Annoying level

Things I find in a garage

At times comes a song which should be better known. I'm talking about a song that you can show to someone who isn't really into as they refer to it "computer noise". I'm also not talking about the pop non-sense again. If you want to present someone country music, you don't show them Taylor Swift. For me a good funk house hits home. Instruments, with a super bass, upbeat, and of course a sensational vocal. Well garage music as genre falls into -some of - these criteria. Since Mj Cole Artful Dodger I had trouble coming across something garagely funky. Something I put on repeat and  joyous with it for the whole day. During my recent expedition I came across an album released in early march. Traxx -House that garage built. Its a fair compilation of garage music by mostly U.K. Producers. I really won't talk about the album if you really into -revived- garage music well, yes sure listen to it. I would encourage you to pay attention to one track which stands out more then the others. In some ways it isn't even appropriate.

We all do have sunny/rainy days. Well music is the same, we all find good or bad songs on an album we should like or should not like. Harry Wolfman's remix of Ben Pearce's "What I might do" is undoubtedly the sunnier -way sunnier- days of the album. A mix worth sharing. A perfect Wednesday music. It reminds you of the weekend - like the garage music brings out that late happy '90s European club scene- this song brings out the weekend fun in a way it allows us to intellactually prepare for it. A song if stuck in one's head anytime thinking/singing it, will bring out some great memories. And if the memories fade in the mist of the past (or alcohol) will vitalize our music receptors to make us put on our "going-out best clothes" and make some of those memories.

If you look close enough he dances to the music
