Regifting
jamie on August 22nd, 2006
Re-gifting from other music blogs today, because I'm tired and lazy.
- iGIF has an exclusive new track from Mitchel Brothers. The Brothers were the first act signed to Mike Skinner's The Beats label.
- Stereogum has a new video from Beck
- Tha Bomb Shelter has a great post on Larrikin Love. Can Anyone explain to me what their song Happy As Annie is about? I think I should be disturbed by it,but can't be certain.
- Pretty much everybody is picking up today's story that Keane singer Tom Chaplin has checked himself into rehab for alcohol and drug abuse. Another thing I don't get: why can relatively small acts tour tirelessly (I know several) without aquiring major drug habits, but as soon as someone's big, they need drugs to keep up? I mean, I'm sure it's a hell of a lot harder touring in a big fat bus with tour support and contract riders. Sheesh.
- Lots of new releases today. A partial list of hits from Metacritic.com, music links from The Hype Machine
