Downtempo / Folk compilation
I mentioned the Finnish folk/nujazz band Korpi Ensemble on yesterday’s radioshow review, yet just to show you how much I love this song, I featured it once again, so make sure you listen to it. Vocalist Johanna Iivanainen’s singing is very emotional, but of the inspirational and lively kind rather than the melancholic. I’m sure [...]
Blonde Redhead
If you were to ask me which bands were the one with the most established career in the indie / art rock scene, I think I’d easily mention Blonde Redhead at one of the top spots. They’ve constantly rocked since their first album in 1995 and by that time although there were obvious comparisons to [...]
Reissue #2 : Gang of Four
The second reissue I wanna write about is Gang of Four’s Entertainment, it’s not a 2006 reissue but I got it recently. I think I got to admit that I don’t know jack shit about post-punk, I figured that out after I began to read ILX, but now as I listen to this album, I’m [...]

Happy:
Although being the top wedding player [...]

Spot the band name
I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but as an mp3blogger, I think it’s my duty to at least mention this marvellous ad from Virgin commemorating their anniversary. This ad contains 72 band names, literally, on this majestic illustration. It takes a while to think in the same the way the creators did, taking the [...]
Coolest band names!
I really think there’s a correlation between the coolness of a band name and the coolness of the music they do.. I’ve been intrigued many times by the name of a band or person, and tried to find out if they sound as good as their name..
And most of the time, i’ve not been disappointed.
Yesterday [...]
