Hello friends, it's been way too long, I've postponed this post for too long, and now it's going to be a mega-ultra post, sorry about that. Also soundslike.blogspot.com or remindsmeof.blogspot.com may have been a better URL for this poor excuse of a blog.
The new/latest Hot Chip-single has got a killer chorus, a weird video, and some use of vocoder/auto-tune that's kind of ruining the verse for me. Something about the melody/rhythm of the second part of the chorus reminds me of Madonna - La Isla Bonita
The new Tiga single also has a ring to it. It reminds of this Dutch song and this German elektro classic.
Love or hate, but Lady Gaga is a blessing for pop music in 2010. The video which you've seen already is very Tarantino-esque, which prompted him to want to use her as a killer in one of his next movies. Anyone can hear the obvious The Way I Are-influence in the post-chorus part.
Being genuinly touched by a song on the radio, it doesn't really happen that often (let's not discuss November Rain right here), but recently, it happened to me with the new Eels single. I've heard the End Times album is really sad, the new "Sea Change"? Gonna check this.
Roisin Murphy is back with a new single. It has got a truely awesome bassline. Like this.
Like the new Wolfmother single a lot more than the comeback single. This time around, the alround retro sound (vocally, this has to be the new Ozzy), the start-stop riffing and poppy sound make it work as a radio-single.
I'm kind of torn about the new Kate Nash single. Like the piano riff, the lyrical theme, but hate the production. Why skip the second verse? What's up with the bombastic chorus production? Who needs that brass section in the second chorus? Totally ripped the intro guitar riff from a Regina Spektor song. Didn't like the first album, but the second album should be a little different.
My favourite radio single of the last weeks would have to be this one. Lush seventies production, like the vocals and the bassline. Gainsbourg-approved, top notch material!
The same type of guitar riffing is also used in this Scissor Sisters and this Destiny's Child song.
And to close this off, a classic smooth, groovy song by the otherwise unknown band The Waitresses. Enjoy!
