Boy George

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:09:00 +0000

A classic from the 80's. I just want to point out that bass by Winston Blissett.

Great live reggy version of Boy George's "Do you really want to hurt me?"

30 years of Talk Talk

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:49:00 +0000

I grew up with their music and their songs bring lots of great memories to my mind. This year is the 30th anniversary of Talk Talk, one of my favourite bands of the 80's.

Everything starts in 1982..

Talk Talk

A very wise statement, "Life's what you make it"

A hypnotic sound, "I Believe In You"

One of Talk Talk's classics, "It's A Shame".

This version by No Doubt reminds me of someone that used to be very special to me. Time flies!

Give It Up

Mark Hollis for MTV

Live at Montreaux 1986

Such A Shame

Living In Another World

It's You

Talk Talk live from Salamanca (Spain) performing "Life's what you make it".

Visage

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:33:00 +0000

Midge Ure, Steve Strange and Rusty Egan create Visage in 1978. The band follows the New Romantic movement. This song brings lots of memories to my mind, just like Viena by Ultravox.

Visage - Fade To Grey

Ultravox - Viena

Sugar Ray

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 11:36:00 +0000

A great song to listen to in a foggy day like today.

Sugar Ray - When it's over

You can watch it here.

Lana Del Rey vs Brenda Lee

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:04:00 +0000

This song reminds of this other one:

I have to say that Brenda Lee's version of "Crying Game" is my favourite one. And I also like it better than this song by Lana Del Rey :)

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die

The XX

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:39:00 +0000

Great song by "The XX", a good intro to this new year. Second song by this band in Lemonation (here).

Dinah Washington

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:13:00 +0000

A great way to start 2012.

Dinah Washington - Mad About The Boy

Bryan Ferry for H&m

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:22:00 +0000

Bryan Ferry is one of my favourite singers of all time. I was surprised to see him on TV commercial for the swedish company H&m. Bryan Ferry (1945) was leader of Roxy Music and has a great solo career. This is a good opportunity to remember some of my favourite songs of this icon of music. My father used to play his music all the time when I was little, so all these songs bring lots of memories from my chilhood. Are you ready to get romantic?

Slave to Love

Avalon

Love Is The Drug

Dance Away

I have said many times that I prefer the original songs over the covers. But in this case I like this version by Roxy Music better, I'm sorry John.

And my favourite..

More Than This

Slave to Love and Avalon live in 2004

Bryan Ferry and his son Tara for H&M.

(14) Disco Inferno (MGMT Late Night Tales)

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:24:00 +0000

"The Late Night Tales" compilation started in 2001 as a project to let some of the most popular artists pick their favourite songs for a late night session. This year is MGMT's turn. This is the first song of the album. Just close your eyes, and enjoy.

Disco Inferno - Can't See Through It

(13) The Big Pink

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:23:00 +0000

"Future This" by The Big Pink is probaby the album that I'm more excited to listen right now. It will come out in early 2012. I can't believe we are so close to start the year 2012. It sounds like some futuristic movie. I guess the future is now. But anyways, while we wait for next year, we can enjoy "Hit The Ground (Superman)" the second single of "Future This" (the first single was Stay Gold).

The Big Pink - Hit The Ground (Superman)

(12) Morning Parade

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:51:00 +0000

This is a band from Harlow, Essex (England). Very interesting song, it sounds like a mixture of different styles with lots of instruments.

(11) Chairlift

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:33:00 +0000

One of favourite "new" band from the UK is back. After their great songs from 2009, Dominos, Velvet and Too Young To Love. This is their first single of their new album. Can't wait to listen to whole record. One of the guys from Procol Harum is involved in the production of The Big Pink's new songs.

This is Deftones tv debut in 1998. A good way to start their career on the mass media.

Great performance in 1998 at Conan O'Brien.

Time Lapse. The cities I have visited - Tokyo

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:47:00 +0000

I have read that the city in Blade Runner was based on Hong Kong. But I'm sure that if you have ever been to Tokyo you felt like if you were in a futuristic movie.

(8) Blood Orange

noreply@blogger.com (Lemon) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:07:00 +0000

First time I heard this song I thought it was Prince. He is Devonté Hynes also known as Lightspeed Champion and Blood Orange, he is a british (although he was born in Texas) composer. He has written for some british artists such as Florence and the Machine and The Chemical Brothers.
Very interesting art cover with those "Blade Runner" letters.

Blood Orange - Bad Girls
