Notes

If you are in two minds about going to Coachella this year, spend 4mins with the video above and you should be all set.

And then there is Kanye, Kings of Leon, The Strokes and Arcade Fire to take into consideration too.

Let's Dance to Joy Division

The Wombats

No more cover Friday. 2011 is going to be brand-new-music-Friday instead.

Starting with The Wombats, who I have been hearing a lot about recently, and will be seeing at the Mercury Lounge next week. Great first track from them, right out of the British mainstream.

Shout Out Louds

Just bought tickets to see the magnificent Shout Out Louds with the equally high-quality Neil at the Annandale Hotel in Sydney on Jan 2.

If you are in town, get involved.

Chris Blackwell and Island Records

NPR

Essential listening from NPR over the weekend. 

Chris Blackwell talking about Island Records and the history of reggae. I got very lucky and will be speaking to Chris later this week. Pretty bloody excited.

Finally (Time and Space Machine Re-Edit)

Cheery Ghost

Sensational cover this Friday, maybe the best of 2010.

This is Cherry Ghost’s interpretation of the 90s club classic Finally, originally sung by CeCe Peniston. Love the sound they create, this guy could be the new Ian Brown.

Some cover songs just repeat the same formula with a different voice, others, like this, reinvent the entire way that track is constructed.
