“Prisencolinensinainciusol” is a pop song released in 1972, that was written and sung in a gibberish nonsensical language intended to sound like English spoken with an American accent for its Italian audience. This is apparently what American English sounds like to non-English speaking foreigners… Written by Italian singer/ songwriter and comedian Adriano Celentano, the song was [...]
Pretty girl bullsh** aside, the latest release from LA-based crooner known as Banks, is like one of those ear-catching songs that you hear at a really cool, not-sure-how-I-got-invited-to-this party and try to nonchalantly inquire who is the artist currently playing over the speakers. And if you’re too hungover to remember who it was the next morning, you’ll [...]
In 1954, Edith Piaf would have been 38 years-old. It was a time when she was trying to beat her severe addiction to alcohol and was known to take morphine before going on stage to perform. Nevertheless, I think you’ll agree, her performance moves you, even through the grainy black and white recording of this [...]
In 2010, Lenny Kravitz was sitting in a café in New Orleans when he heard his song “Fly Away” being played nearby. He followed the sound and found a street choir performing and simply joined in. Needless to say, this must have been the most awesome moment for the Voice of Praise Gospel Choir from First Baptist Church in [...]
John Lennon would later tell a journalist for Rolling Stone magazine that he and Dylan had done heroin that day, recalling they were “both in shades, and both on f**king junk, and all these freaks around us [...] But it was his scene, that was the problem for me. It was his movie. I was on his territory, that’s why I was [...]
Okay, comparisons are cheesy but I do like to get your attention! Wild Belle is a brand new indie band from Chicago on the scene that I’m expecting will garner similar Lana Del Rey-esque attention with their new track, “Keep You”. The duo is made up of 23 year-old Natalie Bergman on vocals and her [...]
This just about sums it up: “Your generation, not the one before you, not the one after you — your generation — decided to steal music.” ::: YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: .
Just because, here is a video of misheard song lyrics. Not all of them are great but there a few strokes of lyric-improvising genius within. My personal favorites include the Ghostbusters and Shania Twain… So which songs did you have your own ‘special’ misheard lyrics for? ::: YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: .
Solange Knowles (a.k.a Beyoncé’s little sis) has just released her new music video and not only is ‘Losing You’ a dreamy tune and one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while, it also scores major points for the inclusion of Les Sapeurs– the subculture of African dandies Nessy blogged about last year! There [...]
No Wine and Cheese here. Another gem from my (very unofficial) partner (so unofficial, they don’t even know it yet) VICE magazine, the lovely and bi-lingual Cleo Le-Tan bravely goes where most Parisians have never gone before and ventures into the suburban ghettos of Paris. Gaining an audience with underground rappers in the dark alleyways [...]
