Utopia is a band
They sang “Love is the Answer”
and I think they’re probably right
The Hold Steady – We Can Get Together

The Hold Steady remind me very much of Tom Petty, both the voice of the leadsinger and the style of music. You should know that even though it’s not my favorite kind of music, I do like Tom Petty quite a bit (check out Wildflowers!). And I do like the Hold Steady’s new album “Heaven Is Whenever”. With the exception of “The Weekender” it lacks real highlights – the kind of songs that you put on your private Best-Of compilations – but it’s a very nice piece of music, diversified, yet with a very distinctive style. It’s one of those albums where the whole is bigger than it’s part (The National’s High Violet is another example). I give it 3.5 stars out of 5. (Review Ratings)

My work came back from class
With notes attached
Of a place and time
Or how my body kept him up at nightHe let me smoke weed in his truck
If I could convince him I loved him enough
Enough, enough, enough, ‘noughHe made me a tape of Joy Division
He told there was a part of him missing
When I was sixteen
He jumped off a buildingMr Petersen
I know you weren’t ready to go
I hope there’s room for you up above
Or down below. -
It’s time to honor one of my favorite songs of the summer: Twin Jet Engines by Wires in the Walls (Homepage, MySpace). The song was just a borderline inclusion in my summer playlist, but it more and more grew on me and now it’s one of my favorite songs of the year. I like the slightly sad tune and the how vocals and guitar work together to support it. I also love the lyrics, especially “And I know this, too, shall pass“. That part always reminds me of a tale I once heard:
A king ordered the sages of his country to find him something that would make him said when he was happy and happy when he was said. Many came and gave their presents and ideas, but noone succeeded. Finally, an old man came and gave him a simple ring. The king asked him “How is this ring supposed to make me sad when I am happy and happy when I am said?”. And the old man said: “Look closely, your majesty, there is an inscription written on it”. And the king look more closely and indeed, there was a short sentences inscripted and it read “This, too, shall pass.”
Check out a live version of Twin Jet Engines or go over to MySpace for the original (Gasoline is also an excellent song, both songs are available on iTunes or Napster).

And it’s time for some music again. Great song, high on my summer playlist.

Corny song, incredibly stupid video and that annoying shalala-part, but still, I really like it. -
Die Sommer 2010 CD nimmt langsam Formen an.

One of the three albums I am currently waiting for is The National’s new one. The first single certainly sounds great at first sight (?). Let’s hope the album lives up to the expectations.

Endlich mal wieder neue Musik:
Niedliches Video!

Corny title, pretty nice song.
By the way, I find it pretty annoying that youtube blocks so many official music videos nowadays. Is there anything I can do about that? Foreign proxy or something?
