Song of the Week #11

2012-01-02T23:39:00.001Z

For last week:
Queen Omega & Mad Professor - Wicked Man

Lyrics (as I can't see them online I've typed them up):

It’s funny how I see things go
In a dis ya concrete jungle
People don't know where to go
I see them on the fall and stumble

They’ll live their life in pretence, and now they're back against the fence
Don’t know who'll defend them
But if they're only calling him the king of all kings
He will answer

Living in a confused world
A world filled with animosity
I say a prayer for your soul
And prey that you will have the victory

To stop living in pretence, so you won't be against the fence
Don’t know who to run to
But if you're only calling Jah the conqueror
He must answer

Wicked man
They’ll be no hiding place
Wicked man
You’ll see the fathers face
Wicked man
Poisoned the human race

You can't get away
Never get away
Can’t get away
Never get away

How could you live your life like this?
A life full of fraud and folly
It really shouldn't be like this
You were made to give him glory

You’ll live your life in pretence, and now you're back against the fence
Don’t know who'll defend you
But if you're only calling Jah the conqueror
He must answer

Wicked man
They’ll be no hiding place
Wicked man
You’ll see the fathers face
Wicked man
Poisoned the human race

You can't get away
Never get away
You can't get away
Never get a' never get away

It’s funny how I see things go
In a dis ya concrete jungle
People don't know where to go
I see them on the fall and stumble

They’ll live their life in pretence, and now they're back against the fence
Don’t know who to run to
But if they're only calling Jah the conqueror
He must answer

Wicked man
They’ll be no hiding place
Wicked man
You’ll see the fathers face
Wicked man
Poisoned the human race

You can't get away, no
Never get away, no
You can't get away, no
Never get away, no
You can't get away
Hater man
Never get away
Folly man
Can’t get away
Wicked man
Never get away
Cruel man
Can’t get away
Selfish man
Never get away
Doubtful man
Can’t get away
Unreasonable man
Never get away
Listen man
Say you can't get away
Listen man
Never get away
Listen man
Say you can't get away
Listen man
Never get away

You can't get away
Hater man
Never get away
Folly man
Can’t get away
Wicked man
Never get away
Cruel man
Say you can’t get away
Selfish man
Never get away
Doubtful man
Can’t get away
Never get a' never get a…

Playing Skyrim with this on this on is much more enjoyable.

Dennis Brown - Hot Like A Melting Pot

Song of the Week #7

2011-11-29T21:06:00.000Z

One of my favourite tunes this week that I always seem to get in my head. I put it on the jukebox at the science stall at Bestival and was asked not to mess around with the volume control.

The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog

Song of the Week #6

2011-11-24T14:24:00.000Z

Time for something from the US instead, Aerosmith - Seasons Of Wither

Song of the Week #5

2011-11-15T13:39:00.001Z

I've had this in my head all week, and I'll try and keep song of the week to Tuesdays again!

Download:
Blur - Beetlebum

Song of the Week #4

2011-11-10T22:07:00.001Z

I wasn't planning on making another Beatles song my song of the week again so soon, but I've listened this song quite a lot this week. It's definitely the best from the With the Beatles album.

Song of the Week #3

2011-11-04T00:05:00.000Z

I had a song in mind this week, but a last minute change of heart for a better song.

The Beatles - Hey Jude

Song of the Week #2

2011-10-25T19:18:00.001+01:00

Again an old favourite of mine, I've been listening to the Fat of the Land a bit over the last week but thought I would share Breathe instead of Firestarter before I start a theme of songs about burning.
Enjoy

Song of the Week #1

2011-10-18T23:18:00.003+01:00

But here's my track of the week - I'll try and make this a regular feature - though not limited to songs I've just heard, this one isn't, but I haven't over listened to it yet as I have with so many others.

The Ruts - Babylons Burning

Nevermind

2011-10-08T20:39:00.001+01:00

So back in August I got an email about a special 20th anniversary addition of Nirvana's Nevermind - not just a re-release but a 4 disc version with a ton of bonus songs, pictures, picture disc vinyl, free mp3 download of the whole album and limited to 1991 copies.

Well... I bought a copy and here it is

But for now I'll have to listen to the mp3's as my decks are in a box due to space issues - pretty cool though can't wait to get them back out, they're the numark battle pack one's. A little cheap but a nice iPod mixer (though I'm sticking with my nice Technics headphones, these are a bit tight around my massive head):

That's all for now, I just wanted to show some pics. Will write a review of my purchase soon, I think you can still buy it here, but part of me is wondering whether I should have go the cd version that comes with a book and bunch of other stuff...

Just put my ipod into Airplane mode...

2011-10-06T17:56:00.004+01:00

Soundcloud up

2011-09-26T17:41:00.000+01:00

In addition to my youtube channel, I now have a page on soundcloud - here - so far pretty empty but it has two new mixes that I haven't put on youtube yet. Plus might sound better as I've enabled mp3 downloads! Embedded latest tracks below, all feedback welcome.

Adele - Rolling With Mobb Deep by Jord99

Jord99 - Matty Groves by Jord99

A review

2009-10-30T22:38:00.007Z

So I mentioned earlier the BlackSheeps, well their self titled album is now out on iTunes and I thought I would give it a review for whatever small exposure my blog gives. It comes with 13 tracks, most of which I like quite a lot!
Track 1, Punk Revolution I can't find the lyrics to translate them which is kinda annoying as I don't know what it's about, shame cause the corus is a bit corny. But don't let that put you off, Nightmare is a great track, the melodies are really nice, only thing about this is maybe the lyric about the hungry monsters eating her teddy bear for lunch? Not sure about that but very skilled overall.
Then Edwin is ok... in-between the first two tracks in my opinion, English chorus and Norwegian verse. Its ok but the lyrics are not something I would sing along to personally. One of my favourite tracks is 4, Rain in Aarhus, some really nice riffs and singing in this one. First time I saw the live track I thought it must have been a cover but its not! Hmm anyway Bak Skyen is a nice slower track but again not their fault, but have not found the lyrics.
Mama's Boy is not a ramones cover, its sort of like the Edwin track in its kind of more upbeat riffs. Then I would liken Tales from the Forest to Nightmare in its darkish (I mean not upbeat and the word scary), I really love the melodies in this one too and a clever pause.
No Milk today is a good cover, my favourite version of the track. My least favourite track is perhaps Bright as the Sun. For me the riffs and singing just arent as good as the other tracks they're just a bit more 90's generic and flat. Almost there, Cancellation is also good a nice filler track I think, then you have their signiture Ora Jaska Beana.
In addition to this I also have two bonus tracks - a cover of Gold Lion -with that Wonderwall esk guitar-, but certainly not their best cover (I've heard at least 3). And finally En Vill en, an acoustic finish. Probably where it should be on the album.
So while I may not sound that enthousiastic, I am, and notable tracks in my opinion are Nightmare, Rain in Aarhus, Tales from the Forest and No Milk Today. Thanks for listening, and in an unrelated story here is mix I made of Gwen Stefani's What You Waiting For? Over the Top of Bakerman by Laid Back:

New Mash-Up

2009-09-18T23:22:00.004+01:00

Back to the music!

2009-08-25T17:59:00.007+01:00

Lately I have been listening to a lot of La Roux, Portishead, Mobb Deep, and would like to share this video that I saw at a friend's;

One more post

2009-07-31T22:55:00.004+01:00

This is amazing, the next album I buy will be Portishead's 'Third'. Both song and video are brilliant.

Discogs

2009-07-29T14:41:00.005+01:00

Hey, a quick post just to say check out Discogs if you haven't already. I've been on there for a bit now and submitted some info and covers. It's a sort of wiki collective with an attempt to catalogue all cds/tapes/vinyls released and allows people to add selected items to wish lists that others are selling too.

If you use iTunes or Windows media player its a great place to get excellent quality covers that don't always show up in google image search, which is predominantly what I use it for.

So I bought my first song from iTunes

2009-07-06T21:18:00.009+01:00

Yep, finally caved in a whole 79p. More unusual is the choice of song, you can listen for free below from youtube. They're called the Blacksheeps, a band from Norway who won a couple of music concerts with the song. Now the song itself is ok, I don't mean that in a bad way its good but they could easily make much better songs. If you want to get their cover of No Milk Today you can get it for free here (there's also some other covers but I wasn't so sure about them).

Thought I would make the post though because of the bands potential, the singer is awesome and I would advise you to go check them out on youtube or something. I've yet to get a lastfm account but someday... ;-)
