i love you but i’ve chosen darkness

from austin, texas,  i love you but i’ve chosen darkness have an usual band name that fits well.  new wave, deep synths, shoegazing bass lines perfect their music into soothing soundscapes.  britt daniels of spoon produced their 2003 self-titled debut ep and their album,  fear is on our side, was under the influence of ministry’s producer paul barker.  i love you but i’ve chosen darkness’s style easily blends throughout their work, providing a melancholy sense that lightly translates through catchy soul drenched pop melodies  and epic guitar riffs that willfully bring you to dream.

michael jackson :: world music awards 2006

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

From the World Music Awards 2006, this video clip represents everything that Michael Jackson is. Whether you were a fan or not, his genius influenced and inspired so much of what we listen to today. It’s wonderful to see how much power he had over a room, and after such a sad loss, reminds us of what an amazing impact he had on his fans and people all over the world in general. Enjoy the moment, this is wild.

After joining Metric on a world tour, Montreal’s The Lovely Feathers had a much needed three year hiatus  filled with new ideas, relationships and opportunities. Now the band is back with a long awaited sophomore album Fantasy of the Lot, soon to be released in the USA August 18th on Sparks Music/Tommy Boy Records.

LISTEN: The Lovely Feather – Lowiza

The high energy of lead singer Mark Kupfert’s vocal harmonies throughout his band’s thoughtful sounds, manically intertwine inside keyboard-synths that play within catchy pop songs.

loudcrowd

loudcrowd_225

A brand new music community called Loudcrowd has been created for those who wish to engage themselves in music and explore their own ideas through the use of online music games.  Made especially for people who are interested in all aspects of djing, dancing, performing and rocking out, Loudcrowd lets users play freely together within a streaming library of indie rock, dance and electro artists.

Reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto video game series, Loudcrowd is a flash-based website with a shared soundtrack, where registered users create social networking profiles and customized cartoonish male and female avatars that play music-related games to eventually win over the djing influence of dictating what they want and wish for other members  and visitors to hear.

Aimed at teenage and twenty-something music fans, Loudcrowd opens up the world of new music and consistently features groundbreaking groups through the site like Friendly Fires, Justice, Phoenix, Santigold, and The Twelves.  It’s the main goal of the games to discover, engage and intensely listen to constantly wonderful sounds, and possibly makes a consumer end up wanting to buy the artists’ albums through the great use of Itunes or Amazon.  All in all, Loudcrowd is not only resourceful for the listener but lucrative for also the musicians as well as the record labels involved.
