Here's Azealia Banks doing a phenomenal cover of The Strokes' 'Barely Legal'. If you're loving it, you can download it for free (click the tiny download button near the upper right hand corner of the soundcloud link below).




Here's what the original version by The Strokes sounds like.

HUGE difference, but such an amazing cover.

Enjoy.

*New Single and Free Download from The Strokes*

by Carmen Cruz

Ohhhhhh The Strokes!!
The guys have released a brand new single called 'One Way Trigger'. Julian Casablancas' voice takes on a new pitch, and it's blended into a song that sounds like the theme music for an 80's Nintendo game. Kinda trippy! Check it out.


 If you like what you hear, you can get this tune for free from The Strokes' website.
The boys are set to release a brand new album later this year.
Cool-e-o.

Enjoy!

Songs Of The Week!

by Carmen Cruz

Here's what I'm into.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor ~ Murder On The Dance Floor - Even though this song came out back in 2001, it still makes me wanna shake it, every single time I hear it.


Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder on the Dancefloor by MovieFanQS



The Strokes ~ You Only Live Once - These dudes love to smoke ciggies. They love it so much, they made a video about it. This music vid features the band playing in an enclosed space as tobacco tar fills the room (implying that the room is their lungs). Julian Casablancas commented on the video saying, "People tell us all the time we're gonna die from smoking, but you only live once."


We Are The City ~ Happy New Year - 3 sweet guys from Kelowna. Very young and super talented :)


Ice Cube ~ Today Was A Good Day - Ice Cube's most sucessful and well known tune. This tune is ideal for walking down the street in slow-motion. Heck yeah. 


The XX ~ Crystalised- These guys/gals are brilliant! Is it just me, or do they look really young?




Enjoy!!!

Music I'm Loving.

by Carmen Cruz

Here's a list of a few tunes I'm really into right now, both new and old.


The Airborne Toxic Event - All I Ever Wanted ~ I love tunes with strings in them. Plus, this band is awesome, so it's double the goodness.




The Strokes - Reptilia ~ One of my top 10 favourite bands. This song always reminds me of the game 'Garage Band'. I kick ass at the drums. No lie.







                                                       


Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma ~ Another band on the list of my top 10 favourites of all time. They're brilliant. I had a chance to meet the guys and hang out with them, and I had to bail. It's a long story, but my heart still hurts when I think about it. **sniffle, tear**




Björk - Venus As A Boy ~ Such an amazing tune. I *heart* this crazy lady!   





                                            

                                            


The Vaccines - If You Wanna ~ A total summer time song. Fun!



Artists I just 'don't get' include : Bruno Mars & Foster The People. Seriously. I might half-ass tolerate a tune by Foster, but that's about it. I just don't get the hype.
