I Love(d) College

Monday, April 20th, 2009 in Music

Today I’d like to recommend the song Asher Roth – I Love College to all the party animals of you out there. I’m coming across that song about once a day at the already mentioned Channel X. But after discovering the video on tape.tv (a quite sleek YouTube derivative for music videos), I thought, I’d start spreading it around a bit.

Have fun. I’m off to find out when the first college parties of this summer term are taking off.

Hot Little Pony

Friday, February 6th, 2009 in Music

After recommending a juicy cover song to you on Tuesday, I’m going to do so again today – just in time for the weekend so to speak. This time I’d like to draw your attention to Far’s version of “(Hot Little) Pony“. At the band’s website [sbg] is writing in the comments:

its a panty-dropper for sure.

There’s nothing to add. Have a nice and successful weekend everybody.

Nikki

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009 in Music

While 1.FM’s Channel X accompanies me through the day, I just listened to the cover song “Darling Nikki” by the Foo Fighters. And so I’d like to recommend it to Adrian, his girlfriend Nici and all the desirable rest of my readership now.

Hard Decision

Thursday, November 27th, 2008 in Music

While driving home from a 12-hour working day I heard the song “I Can’t Decide” by the Scissor Sisters on the radio. Cheered me up enough to get home where a dry martini and a hot shower saved my day. Listen to it!

9 Crimes

Monday, July 14th, 2008 in Music, TV

At the end of the “Jericho” episode “Oversight” (S02E04) I just discovered the beautifully sad song “9 Crimes” by Damien Rice feat. Lisa Hannigan. Please cry now.

Music and Death

Friday, June 27th, 2008 in Music

Today I’d like to recommend you two songs. The first one isn’t really that new still and gets played on German radio station EinsLive every now and then, too. To some of you I mentioned this song already back in February, but this won’t keep me from doing so again here and now. I’m talking about “I’ll Kill Her” by SoKo. Such a wonderfully shy voice, charming French accent and simple music.

Song number 2 is a completely different cup of tea. I discovered it while listening to the web radio Techno4ever. It’s a cover version of an eighties song and thus surely not everyone’s taste. Based on the 1986 #1 hit “(I Just) Died In Your Arms” by Cutting Crew and a former cover of that, a great song with a somewhat longish name was created: Alex M. vs Marc van Damme feat. Jorg Schmid – Died In Your Arms

Recommended.
