Day 43: The Sparkles - I want to be free

From the new Vodafone commercial I introduce you a great oldies song. I think Vodafone has some brilliant people hanging around looking for old songs that they can use for their commercials and somehow they are doing an excellent job. Just listen and enjoy.. (I will post more brilliant commerical related songs in the commercial-song week which will be soon (12-18 September), and if you have any suggestions, please let me know)

Day 42: Smoove & Turrel - Slow Down

A song that has been introduced to me by 3fm dj Gerard Ekdom and I just like it. From a duo existing of producer Smoove and singer John Turrel from UK. This winter they released their second album Eccentric Audio. I just listened to parts of the album and I definitely think it is gonna be one of my favorites to listen to while driving.

And this song from that album. It is funky, it has a nice beat, and it makes me smile. Do I need to say more..

Day 41: Strange Talk - Climbing Walls

And it's time for some new fresh music. Today from a electropop band from Melbourne Australia: Strange Talk. In april 2011 they released their first album, also with the name Strange Talk. Their first single has just been released in Europe and it's promising. If you like the Two Door Cinema Club and MGMT but especially Yeasayer then you will definitely like this.

It's funky, it's electronic, it's danceable, it's good. Enjoy !!

Day 40: Tommy Lee - Home Sweet Home

And then on Monday afternoon, you come back from 4 days of brilliant partying at LL Festival. You realize that you're back in reality, back in the real life, that life goes on. But on the other hand you're mind is still in the bubble, in paradise. Your thoughts are with all the amazing people you have met and the fun you had with them, the wonderfull performances you have seen, the energy that you had, the jokes you made, the extraordinary dancing, etc.. And now you've got a feeling like you're in love. In LLLove with the LL festival.

So, today, a song to give us a warm feeling, and to remind us that we're back home again, from of one of the greatest parties of the year.. LL 2011.. Thnx, I love you..

Day 39: Fake Blood - I like it

After three days of Lowlands you feel physically tired, but in your mind the energy just keeps on flowing. You feel just great and want to stay longer. All the people around you feel like a great big family to you and you wished that this feeling could last forever. And then, suddenly in the Bravo tent you find yourself dancing amongst your friends and new aquired family members on this powerfull track of British DJ Fakeblood... Lowlands 2011... Just a couple of hours left but don't think about that.. Just go, just dance, just energy !!!

Day 38: Foster the People - Houdini

Today one of my favorites for LL this year that I definitely wanna go to and experience: Foster the people (Indie rock band from Los Angele). I already posted a song of them a couple of weeks ago, pumped up kicks, but this new single is amazing as well.

If you like MGMT, you definitely like this.. Poppy, feel good, dancious, happy, smiley, energizing.. WOW. And before I spoil the song with more text I stop.. Just listen, over and over again..

Day 37: Chef' Special - Birds

When writing singles, it is worth to post a single from a dutch band now and then. Today a song from Chef' Special, a dutch band who managed to get their breakthrough this year and hit the charts with their single Scribblin. They are from Haarlem, the city where I used to grow up and go to school, another reason why I like them ;-). Their music I would describe as a mixture of pop, rock, reggae, hip/hop with a nice funky/ happy feeling.

I hope they will manage to play on Lowlands, as they already cancelled all performances in the last month due an injury of their lead-singer.

Today's song, birds, reminds a little bit of Pete Philly and Perquisite (when they were still together). Just a simple, really nice song to listen too, over and over again. Music from the heart. Perfect to start a nice relaxing weekend. Enjoy.
