Day 75: Lo-Fi--FNK - Boom

Today a song that will refresh on this average Tuesday. The first few seconds you think.. "whats this, it's not that exciting, boring ?" But as soon as the beat kicks in, you know it, you feel it, you experience it... I have the feeling that song will be one that we are going to hear a lot on the radio this winter and maybe it will last untill spring 2012... Who knows

The song is from Lo-Fi-Fnk, a Swedish Electro Pop Band, who have just released their second album " The Last Summer"... And this single Boom is from that album.

Enjoy it and think about "Those crazy summernights...

Day 74: Studio Killers - Ode to the Bouncer

It's Saturday.. Which means weekend.. And time for some great songs from 365..

Today a little treat from a virtual band called the Studio Killers, consisting of three animated characters, from Copenhagen Danmark. So far they have had quite some success in Danmark and now it's time for the Netherlands.

I just love the beat of this song called Ode to the Bouncer.. A beat from the 80's with a 90's feel over it... Amazing... Winning I would say... Let's go out and celebrate the bouncer..

(and watch the amazing animation as well... It's great..)

Day 73: M83 - Midnight City

Just a short description of a great song, as I am spending the weekend in beautiful Prague; but I still wanted to share this great song with you.

It's from M83, a indie pop band from France, founded in 2001. I would describe their style as dreamy electronic (can be compared to MGMT, Depeche Mode). This single was released on July 18th and it's from their 6th album "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" (released on October 18). And when you think, this sounds familiar.. You may know it from the Victoria's secret commercial.

Nice, beat, nice sound, great feel.. What do you want more on this beautiful Sunday.. ?

Day 72: Crystal Fighters - Champion Sound

I have introduced you to this band earlier, so need to spend much text on this great collective from the UK existing of a multicultural collective from UK, Spain and the US.

This is their third single in the Netherlands, and although heard it couple of times before I still think it's worth sharing with you. The special sound that the music of this band has is again respresented by this song. It's danceable, energetic and it gives me a holiday feeling.. A good one to break the week into two and celebrate..

Day 71: Mat Kearney - Hey Mama

I think it is time for a happy song, to share some happiness with the world now that the temperature in NL is falling and experiencing that the amount of sunshine is way too low to keep our moods happy.

It's from, Mat Kearney, an American musician from Eugene, Oregon, USA. He has already produced 4 albums, and had some chart hits in the States but only with this single from his most recent album he made it to the dutch radio.

I am quite enthousiastic about this song, it's just nice to listen to, not too difficult.. Just makes me smile.. Enjoy

Day 70: Fool's Gold - Wild Window

Today a song for your ipod for the coming week. To which you listen to when you're bored, when you feel tired or when you just want to hear some nice music. A song that you can listen to all over and over again.

It's from Fool's Gold, an LA collective that have been around since 2007 and who combine western pop with african music influences. You may know them from their song the dive, also posted below as a little double treat for this great sunday. Todays other song is from their second album 2011 called "Leave no Trace" and it's great as well.. Enjoy Wild Window

Day 69: Fedde le Grand vs Sultan & Ned Shepard ft. Mitch Crown - Running (Original mix)

TGIF.. So weekend and time to relax, chill, dance, party and have a good time... This song will certainly help you with it... Saw Fedde two times this year and both occurences were amazing.. Pacha in NYC and Loveland in Amsterdam.. Got some more stuff to do tonight but as promised another great song to listen too.. (especially from the third minute). Enjoya... !!

Day 68: Superheavy - Beautiful People

A couple of weeks ago I found a new cd on the internet and was immediately interested. It's from a new supergroup called SuperHeavy existing of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, A.R. Rahman and Damian Marley.

The band wanted "Superheavy to be a convergence of different musical styles with music ranging from reaggae to ballads to Indian genre.

Beautiful people is one of the songs of their new self titled album (just released on September 19) and it's the first song I listened too. It combines the greatness of Jagger with the amazing soul voice of Stone and the reggae of Marley. Wow.

Really looking forward to my weekend with this album in my cd player...

Day 67: R.E.M. - We all Go Back to Where We Belong

Unfortately, at September 21, they made a decission to quit, after more than 30 years of making great music. I don't want too waste a lot of words describing the great music, I just want to introduce you their last single.

I think honestly this is a great goodbye song. Perfect feel, heartbreaking, an amazing tribute their entire career. And the timing..

A perfect song for a unfortunate moment.

Thank you Mike, Peter, Michael and Bill

Day 66: Coldplay - U.F.O.

From their new cd Mylo Xyloto this song made the biggest impression on me.

U.F.O. It's so pure, so beautifull, it made me quiet. I can keep listening to it again and again.. It reminds me of the songs of their first albums. Don't need a lot of words to describe the greatness.. Just listen.. And you'll be amazed..

Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way river gonna flow
It's just seems that upstream, I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
