El Playlisto – May 09

Blog time again, lazy Saturday morning, and some new music……

Does It Offend You Yeah? – Dawn of the Dead

Does it offend you, yeah? are from Reading, with a name from a line from The Office, and a sound described as a mix of Daft Punk and electro rock. Great tunes though…

White Lies – Death

Saw these guys supporting Snow Patrol in the O2, like the sound. Big following, so it’s only a matter of time. Unfinished Business is also a killer track.

Josh Ritter – The Last Temptation of Adam

Pam cannot stand Josh. I don’t care. Heartfelt lyrics, beautiful complex guitar music, a drivin folky/country beat on quicker tracks, but the heart of his sound is in Kathleen, Snow Is Gone, Harrisburg, and this ode to the male condition, which makes the certain destruction of the earth the obvious choice when faced with losing the love of your life.

Mic Christopher – Heyday

This song always reminds me of lay summer day and long drives. Pity there wasn’t more of Mic’s music recorded.

Mick Flannery – Safety Rope

First of two nods to Cork, Blarney’s new favourite son, Mick, live from the Opera House. Only way to make this video any more Cork-centric would be if he was singing about the Lee, or a langer. And MAYBE he is. Mick is getting lots of attention lately, and is writing the songs Damien Rice’s second album would have been glad to have, if Damien hadn’t dissappeared up his own arse, only better. Actually that comparision is unfair, it is singer songwriter stuff, but the generalistion of all these guys togehter doesn’t do their talent enough justice. Just listen, buy, appreciate.

Fred – Running

Second Cork recommendation, Fred, Running….. Very hard to pick out a Fred song, if you like this, check out THe Good One, Skyscrapers, Damn You Hollywood

This time, Pam recommends the new Lily Allen Album, which is good, and Chromeo, particularly their song Bona Fide Lovin.
