Plastic Beach

Yes, I'm really going to talk about the most recent album of the Gorillaz, Plastic Beach... it's once again an album filled with critical views on the world but with the right touch of sarcasm, and of course lot's n lot's of high quality music!!!!
Once again Damon Albarn was able to gather up some of the most renowned names in the music industry from all over the world and Jamie Hewlett made the fitting imagery for it!
Let's just take a quick overview as to what artists are being featured on the album:
Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Mos Def, Bobby Womack (The one and only legend!!!), Gruff Rhys, Mark E. Smith, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Kano, Bashy, De La Soul, Little Dragon (I think it's only the singer Yukimi Nagano but I'm not sure), Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, sinfonia ViVA, and The Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music.
The first single called stylo featured Bobby Womack and Mos Def, although it's a good song I still prefer some of the other songs from their album like "To Binge", "Superfast Jellyfish" or "Some Kind of Nature"... but all the songs are great as usual!
You should definetly check out the entire album and not only the songs that they put out as singles!
Listen to it and have fun!
P.S- This'll be my last post for the day!!!

My vampires for this weekend!

So, today let me talk to you about a band I personaly had already heard of but had never really gotten around to listening to.... Vampire Weekend!!!!!
How could I have not noticed these guys before??? I sure as hell don't know, but now that I found them I'm already starting to gather money to buy their two very awesome albums!!!
Okay, looking past my stupidness, let's talk about what really matters, the band and their music!
They're a indie rock band and got together in 2006, their manager is Ian Montone, don't know him??? he's the manager of The White Stripes! (Don't know them??? You better get on youtube and get updated or go google them up or something!!!)
The band is made up from 4 members-

• Ezra Koenig – lead vocals, guitar
• Rostam Batmanglij – producer, keyboards, guitar, backing vocals
• Chris Tomson – drums, percussion, guitar
• Chris Baio – bass guitar, backing vocals

They've released 2 albums up to now, one self named and the other called "CONTRA",
and had had 6 singles up to now, my personal favorites in term of music and musicvideo are "Oxford comma" and "giving up the gun", but anything I've heard or seen from them shouts awesome from every aspect! They're really what I like to think of when I wanna hear some good and fresh indie rock!

Just as fun facts, their most recent music videoclip had the following as gust stars:
Joe Jonas, RZA (of the Wu-Tang clan), Lil Jon and the great actor Jake Gyllenhaal known from movies as Donnie Darko, The day after tomorrow, Jarhead and even Broke Back mountain!
Go check them out cause that's all I can really tell you about them... Have fun!!!
