Another Cover By Me | Patrick Watson



I recently posted The Great Escape by Patrick Watson (about two posts down). Here’s my version & cover of the song. My voice sounds deep (it was late). This is the first rough recording. The chords are in a different key from the original to accomodate my higher voice. I play an open D, open A and then C#minor. What do you think?

→ Eileen Lily’s Cover of “The Great Escape” - Patrick Watson


Bad day, looking for a way home
Looking for the great escape
Gets in his car and drives away far from all the
      things that we are
Puts on a smile and breathes it in and breathes
      it out, he says
Bye-bye, bye to all of the noise
Oh he says bye-bye, bye to all of the noise

Hey child, things are looking down
That’s ok, you don’t need to win anyways
Don’t be afraid just eat up all the gray
And it would fade all away
Don’t let yourself fall down

Looking for the great escape
The great escape, bad day
Looking for the great escape
On a bad day
Looking for the great escape
Great escape

Love Gemma | Catcomplex



Found another Hot Chip song that sounds like how they used to sound when Crap Kraft Dinner came out. Give these songs a chance. They get really good midway through.

Magnificent | Fred Falke Remix



I was kindly informed by a brainy friend of mine that the above style of art is properly termed as “pop” art:

Pop Art: a school of art that emerged in the United Kingdom in the 1950s and became prevalent in the United States and the United Kingdom in the 1960s; it imitates the techniques of commercial art (as the soup cans of Andy Warhol) and the styles of popular culture and mass media.

Feeling relaxed tonight, some really smooth sounding tunes. I’m especially loving the U2 remix. How long has this been out? *shrugs* Well it’s like new to me, enjoy!

Burial



Listen to the drum beat of “Burial” - Miike Snow (DJ Mehdi Remix). Doesn’t it sound exactly like the drum beat to “Circuit” - David Rubato (Aeroplane Remix)? (Previously posted here). I mean exactly!!! Still, both are very good songs. Anyways, here’s what I’ve been listening to lately.

Broken Laptop



Yes, my laptop is broken. Screen went out on me. The posts are going to slow slightly until I can afford to buy a new one. Mac or Windows? Leopard or Windows 7? I posted a new video of a cover I did on youtube a while ago. It’s my version of Hot Lips by Pacific! on acoustic guitar. The video is as follows:



Take care everyone. I will be back on track regularly as soon as possible. For the time being, I will post from any other computer that I can get my hands on.

Big Love - CFCF



I’ve been in quite the musical mood lately. Our dryer broke. This is most horrible. Especially with the colder months ahead, I would often throw something in the dryer for a minute for a quick iron-out and put the clothes on all nice and warm. No such luxury exists anymore! Ok, well I don’t have to mention what today is. Stay well and stay sober. Some remixes and originals as follows, mostly smooth, softer sounding ones.

Aeroplane | Too Hard



Yes, this is why I post… I cannot tell you how much good music I have recently found! I want to just post them all in a big gob, but I’ll wait. A few at a time. Give each their time of exposure. Excellent music puts me in such a good mood.

“The Belgium-based band aptly named Aeroplane is dedicated to elevating its fans toward a higher musical space undefined by standardized genres. Their style of music includes a blend of cosmic, nu disco, psychedelic, balearic & emo. The duo intends to pioneer a way that reinforces the integration of electronic music into the omnipresent indie scene.”
