ONE WORD TRIGGERS

Music with expression

Highlights of the week

HighlightsThe bright spots for me on the blogs this week:

  • Just caught up on this slightly older post at Aurgasm. Club des Belugas is a truly global band producing some fine jazz/swing tracks. Two tracks highlighted. Read the post [here].
  • I Am Fuel You Are Friends has two nice tracks on its Monday Music Roundup post. ‘Magic’ by The Blakes has a definite Beatlesque sound whilst ‘The Satisfier’ by Eli “Paperboy” Reed & The True Loves simply rocks. Read the post [here].
  • Not actually a blog, but XFMonline (a Manchester based site) has a free download of The Charlatens new Album “You Cross My Path”exclusive to XFMonline. Read the article and access the link [here].
  • Whilst on the subject of non-blog sites, That Sound Radio is worth a look. It’s actually the Portland State University  (Oregon) radio station but on a Friday night Dave Cusick hosts an hour long show and you can get it as a podcast. This week’s show includes tracks from The Sound of Arrows, We Were the States, Mystery Jets, Head of Femur, Telescope Vehicle, China Forbes, Laura Gibson, Colin Meloy, Bridges and Powerlines, Borko, and Flight of the Conchords. Individual links to tracks are usually shown on the web page [here].
  • Good Weather For Airstrikes has a review of Guillemots forthcoming single ‘Get Over It’ with a download track. What a fantastic track!  Read the post [here].
  • Ick Music gives a brief review of Duffy’s album ‘Rockferry’ with a download of the track “Warwick Avenue”. Having already bought the album I concur totally with Pete…it’s a fantastic album that it’s hard to stop listening to. Read the post [here].
  • And finally, in The Late Greats post “8 from 08 – Ladies” there’s a track by Adele as well as Duffy. Nice one, Duke ;o) Read the post [here].

Just a note about “That Sound Radio” – that show is actually broadcast on KPSU at Portland State University, not KDUP, the station at the University of Portland as indicated in your post.

(Your article came up on a Google Alert for University of Portland references, so that’s how I found you!)

Thanks Ken. My mistake, which I’ve now corrected in the post.
For any interested readers, The University of Portland has it’s own radio station site here: KDUP
