Egyptian Pharaohs! fell from the sky! fell from the sky... and sang the blues...

A few weeks ago a question was brought up by a fellow blogger, " Is there too much new music around?". A healthy question. Maybe there is but I was inclined to say that its up to you what you expose yourself to. If you do what to write about the next best thing come off the radar every week then follow them up. Let me hear your thoughts.
Anyway for the moment I have no time for new music, the best stuff seems to be old hat. 
Transglobal Underground is my new favorite band, shown to me by a friend, their like a Primal Scream, you know, Post-Rave sound happening. They have been labelled as world fusion and are a collective based in London but of course they have members from all walks of life. 
To try and justify why their so cool remember Kula Shaker, its them about ten years before, not from a public school and are truly Spiritual X1000.

I have picked out my three favorite songs. 
The first one "Delta Disco", आनंद*. 

This is my number one "Sky Giant", the drums are mind blowing, you will play it back!

Last but by no means least "army of forgotten souls".




*Enjoy.

So yeah Communal Fires, Luxury Toilets ect...

There's only 6 months left on the calendar till Meadowlands Festival 2011 and early tickets are now available to buy here. Last years gig was a good old crack like the years before it. I just hope the gods will give us better weather next year! 

I hear there is a sin-dig happening for the team at the festival but i can't tell you that info or i would be casted out! But to be honest its pretty easy to find on google.

Anyway camper vans are going to be allowed again this year and it will be a three day weekend again, also the mad hatter Bang Said The Gun will be running the Comedy and Spoken Word Tent. Which does exactly what its say on the tin.

Theres bundles of info ready and waiting to be thrown out to the unsuspecting public,  so watch this space!
The festivals has loads of ways to interact with them: their Myspace, their Facebook, Twitter and of course their website!

If your in a band or you are artist would would like to be seen at a new and up an coming music festival then please contact Meadowlands management here. Hope to see you there!

Thanks to Nikola Tesla.

This week i have been totally hooked on two artists called Waldeck and Willie Bobo-(no that's not his real name! its William Correa). Willie Bobo - Spanish Grease on the player below is a remix. Its funky beats are super sweet, a great song to listen to on these cold winter snaps, a real summer feel. The chap below is Waldeck a Viennese former copyright lawyer and turned musician. He has a electronic/trip-hop sound to him, this song called Midsummer Night Blues is really cool and you gotta love the piano in the small parts.

 

Also this week i was also listening to the beautiful voice of Giselle Rossell from Sydney OZ, she has done a song recently with Flight Facilities called Crave you. The music video to the song is below, also you can find her here.

And just quickly a band worth mentioning called Broken Social Scene from Toronto, Canada. They have been around since 1999 and have no less than three guitars in the band! The song below is called Lover's Spit and you can find out more of them here.

I want to let you know that all the music I have put up in this post I have listen to on some of the best radio stations in the world. FIP Radio (France), Radio Paradise (Paradise, California) and Nova Radio (France) are all commercial free and play a huge variety of different music genres. Its worth checking them out because although BBC 6 music is pretty cool, Heart and BBC 1 Radio isn't! And I think its good to open your mind to different music around the world.
