Majical Cloudz - Savage
Majical Cloudz are a Canadian indie pop duo based in Montreal consisting of singer-songwriter Devon Welsh and producer and live collaborator Matthew Otto.
"Savage" is a song they have been playing live for most of 2013.
As they explain about the song
"Savage" is about a friendship, it's mysteries and it's moments of excitement, and the way drugs played into all of it. It's about letting go of a relationship as it changes and the emotions that go along with that.
The song was originally a lot more minimal, just piano loops and bass. As we played it live it evolved a little bit, Matt started incorporating reverb swells and exploring the ways those could be used (along with a number of other additions) to create dynamics in the song.

Manic Street Preachers- Williams Last Words
This song is from Journal for Plague Lovers is the ninth studio of Manic Street Preachers. It was released on 18 May 2009, through record label Columbia, and features posthumous lyrics by Richey Edwards, who vanished on 1 February 1995, and was presumed deceased in 2008. It is the only Manic Street Preachers album in which the lyrics for every song were written solely by Edwards. The album cover is an original painting by Jenny Saville, who also contributed artwork for The Holy Bible.
The top four UK supermarkets stocked the CD in a plain slipcase, as the cover was deemed "inappropriate". Bradfield regards the decision as "utterly bizarre", and has commented: "You can have lovely shiny buttocks and guns everywhere in the supermarket on covers of magazines and CDs, but you show a piece of art and people just freak out ".
"William's Last Words"is the final track and has been compared to a suicide note, and although Nicky Wire rejects this suggestion, Bradfield observes, "you can draw some pretty obvious conclusions from the lyrics"

Happy birthday Mr Hendrix
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix born in November 27, 1942 .
Despite a relatively brief mainstream career spanning four years, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential electric guitarists in the history , and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music.
Hendrix was inspired musically he favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in developing the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.
For the first few rehearsals he used Vox and Fender amplifiers. When he sat in with Cream in October 1966, he played through a new line of high-powered guitar amps being made by a London drummer turned audio engineer Jim Marshall they proved perfect for Hendrix's needs.
The Marshall amplifiers were crucial in shaping his heavily overdriven sound, enabling him to master the use of feedback as a musical effect, creating what author Paul Trynka described as a "definitive vocabulary for rock guitar".
He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings. Hendrix first heard a wah-wah pedal used with an electric guitar in Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses", released in May 1967.
In July, while playing gigs at the Scene club in New York City, Hendrix met Frank Zappa, whose band, the Mothers of Invention were performing at the adjacent Garrick Theater. Zappa's application of the effect pedal fascinated Hendrix, who experimented with one later that evening. The wah pedals Hendrix owned were designed by the Thomas Organ Company and manufactured in Italy by JEN Electtronica Pescara for Vox. He can be heard using the effect on: "Up from the Skies", "Little Miss Lover", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", and "Still Raining, Still Dreaming".
Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."
Jimi Hendrix was the greatest instrumentalist of all time.The drugs addiction has ended his carrer so soon but his work will live forever
So happy birthday Mr Hendrix and thanks you for the music trip.

Walkabouts - "Feel like going home"
Satisfied Mind is the 6th album by The Walkabouts released in 1993 on Sub Pop Records. It consists entirely of acoustic covers of roots music and compositions by modern singers-songwriters.
Satisfied Mind is a definitive artistic statement masquerading as a loose-knit collection of acoustic covers. Sometimes a group's selection of cover material, combined with their ability to make the songs their own, winds up revealing as much about their craft as their original music, and such is the case here; mining the work of diverse artists like the Carter Family, Gene Clark, Mary Margaret O'Hara, John Cale, and Nick Cave.
Satisfied Mind represents the purest evocation to date of the Walkabouts' aesthetic and its standing at the crossroads of country, rock, folk, and punk. By casting well-known songs in an entirely new light -- Patti Smith's "Free Money" becomes an ominous waltz, while Charlie Rich's "Feel Like Going Home" is renewed as an epic dirge -- the album makes explicit all of the implicit connections in the Walkabouts' work. By extension, it underlines the connections binding the spectrum of roots music as well; Satisfied Mind doesn't simply suggest that diverse sounds can coexist together -- it proves that they always have.
Walkabouts bring the Americana sound in Europe in to 90s and the Europe listeners love them.

Bejar openly borrows phrases from other artists and a variety of other sources, even political rhetoric (ex: Ronald Reagan's "Evil Empire").

Evripidis and his tragedies feat. Laura Antolín - Just a kleenex
Evripidis and his Tragedies began as a personal musical project of Evripidis Sabatis , a classically trained pianist and illustrator, while playing his piano and singing back in Athens. His heart led him to Barcelona where he started doing concerts alone, mostly in seedy bars. Very soon he discovered that some of his friends, already members of other groups of the vibrant Barcelonan indie scene, were really talented and fun to play with. Whether it was destiny that they gravitated to the project or that he invited them to join, the resulting symphony of groundbreaking ideas began making the perfect soundtrack to life in the city.

Royal Canoe - Today We're Believers
Royal Canoe have established themselves as musical mad scientists, throwing rock, pop and... hip hop into a blender to create catchy-as-hell, dance floor-ready songs with odd time signatures and distorted vocals. Think of them as the child that would result, however inexplicably, if the Beatles, Peter Gabriel, Vampire Weekend, Outkast and Fever Ray had a hymn sing followed by an orgy.
Royal Canoe's Today We're Believers is a single released April 2, 2013.
It's a relaxing tune I hop you enjoy it

Patti Smith writes how she informed the death of her friend Lou Reed
Patti Smith writes how she informed the death of her friend Lou Reed
with her own diferent way of writing
From newyorker.com
"On Sunday morning, I rose early. I had decided the night before to go to the ocean, so I slipped a book and a bottle of water into a sack and caught a ride to Rockaway Beach. It felt like a significant date, but I failed to conjure anything specific. The beach was empty, and, with the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy looming, the quiet sea seemed to embody the contradictory truth of nature. I stood there for a while, tracing the path of a low-flying plane, when I received a text message from my daughter, Jesse. Lou Reed was dead. I flinched and took a deep breath. I had seen him with his wife, Laurie, in the city recently, and I’d sensed that he was ill. A weariness shadowed her customary brightness. When Lou said goodbye, his dark eyes seemed to contain an infinite and benevolent sadness.
I met Lou at Max’s Kansas City in 1970. The Velvet Underground played two sets a night for several weeks that summer. The critic and scholar Donald Lyons was shocked that I had never seen them, and he escorted me upstairs for the second set of their first night. I loved to dance, and you could dance for hours to the music of the Velvet Underground. A dissonant surf doo-wop drone allowing you to move very fast or very slow. It was my late and revelatory introduction to “Sister Ray.”
Within a few years, in that same room upstairs at Max’s, Lenny Kaye, Richard Sohl, and I presented our own land of a thousand dances. Lou would often stop by to see what we were up to. A complicated man, he encouraged our efforts, then turned and provoked me like a Machiavellian schoolboy. I would try to steer clear of him, but, catlike, he would suddenly reappear, and disarm me with some Delmore Schwartz line about love or courage. I didn’t understand his erratic behavior or the intensity of his moods, which shifted, like his speech patterns, from speedy to laconic. But I understood his devotion to poetry and the transporting quality of his performances. He had black eyes, black T-shirt, pale skin. He was curious, sometimes suspicious, a voracious reader, and a sonic explorer. An obscure guitar pedal was for him another kind of poem. He was our connection to the infamous air of the Factory. He had made Edie Sedgwick dance. Andy Warhol whispered in his ear. Lou brought the sensibilities of art and literature into his music. He was our generation’s New York poet, championing its misfits as Whitman had championed its workingman and Lorca its persecuted.
As my band evolved and covered his songs, Lou bestowed his blessings. Toward the end of the seventies, I was preparing to leave the city for Detroit when I bumped into him by the elevator in the old Gramercy Park Hotel. I was carrying a book of poems by Rupert Brooke. He took the book out of my hand and we looked at the poet’s photograph together. So beautiful, he said, so sad. It was a moment of complete peace.
As news of Lou’s death spread, a rippling sensation mounted, then burst, filling the atmosphere with hyperkinetic energy. Scores of messages found their way to me. A call from Sam Shepard, driving a truck through Kentucky. A modest Japanese photographer sending a text from Tokyo—“I am crying.”
As I mourned by the sea, two images came to mind, watermarking the paper- colored sky. The first was the face of his wife, Laurie. She was his mirror; in her eyes you can see his kindness, sincerity, and empathy. The second was the “great big clipper ship” that he longed to board, from the lyrics of his masterpiece, “Heroin.” I envisioned it waiting for him beneath the constellation formed by the souls of the poets he so wished to join. Before I slept, I searched for the significance of the date—October 27th—and found it to be the birthday of both Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath. Lou had chosen the perfect day to set sail—the day of poets, on Sunday morning, the world behind him. "
