Postalicious

It has been some time since my last post. Here's a taste of some music stuff I've been checking into lately.

I'm very much into a UK artist I discovered a few months ago called Plan B. I finally got his album The Defamation Of Strickland Banks. It is really something I must say. It's a good mix of grimy english rap and really well articulated R&B. Lots of strings and piano. I'm a fan.

In other news the Pixies show April 20 should be interesting. I watched a part of the documentary loudQUIETloud. If you've seen it or know anything about the band they have some incredibly awkward moments. Imagine going and hanging out with absolute strangers. That's how this band operates aside from being on stage. Come to think of it put me in a room with absolute strangers and there would be more dialogue than being backstage at a Pixies concert. Crazy. Otherwise a really awesome documentary with some equally as awesome performances.

Another dash of music fun I've recently become aware of is the existence of www.blackcabsessions.com. It features popular bands from the UK and USA (no Canada BUT a really good idea) piling in the back of a black english style cab and play one of their songs acoustically. The site features the likes of Weezer, Mumford and Sons, Roots Manuva, Holly Miranda and King Charles. A lot of the bands on there I have never heard of but offers an interesting way of looking at popular and upcoming artists. Check it out. Because after all....
I dig it, so you might.


Surrounded myself with music all day today, but alas I need to goto work and join the ranks of the weekend warriors.
