Finally CocoRosie's new album is officially released: "The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn". "Promise" was just a teaser. The best song on the album is "Sunshine".
"Rainbowarriors" could be a hit, but please, give us a proper release of "Turn Me On".
I have no idea when the new album of Dntel will be released, but when it does, be sure to pick it up some where. "Dumb Luck" is simply brilliant!
Before the album drops you can buy a very limited 7" on Aim's jukebox series. Jimmy Tamborello is joined by the magic voice of Mia Doi Todd. Have a listen ...
"Reverse, you're crazy for this one."
On the new hit of Dutch hip hop legends Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig "Shenkie", rapper Vieze Fur delivers a magnificent verse about a classic Dutch treat, koetjesrepen. This is a classic in the making.
"Koetjesrepen komen hard!"
With its visitor count of around 1.5 million people a year, Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp) is certainly one of the biggest attractions in the Netherlands. One hundred and fifty years ago Rotterdam Zoo opened. To be acurate it was May 18, 1857.
A good reason to post the first video of legendary Dutch video directors Habbekrats. This is how it started and the Dutch version of hiphop (Nederhop) became huge in Holland.
Habbekrats (Jim Taihuttu and Victor Ponten) about DuvelDuvel:
"Rotterdam based hiphop visionaries DuvelDuvel released their first official album Aap-O-Theek in 2005. We instantly loved it, especially the track Wie Is Ut? We couldn't get in touch with record company TopNotch, so we just shot a video without commission and released it online. Once it became succesful, TopNotch bought it and took it to MTV. It went bananas."
The video is shot at Rotterdam Zoo and other parts of Rotterdam, home town of DuvelDuvel.
Bebel Gilberto, the undisputed queen of new Brazilian music, returns with her third album Momento in suitably beautiful fashion.
Highlights, of which there are many, include "Bring Back The Love", which blends bossa and electronica to seemless effect.
Another hightlight is "Cacada", a song penned by her uncle Chico Buarque, which offers a more upbeat vibe and includes some wonderful flute.
The third album of (an unrecognizable) Joss Stone has gone straight to number two in the US Billboard album chart. The album, Introducing Joss Stone, is the highest new entry by a British female artist in US chart history, according to Music Week magazine.
Billboard said it sold 118,000 copies in its first week. Other UK stars making waves in the US include Amy Winehouse at 10, Corinne Bailey Rae at 22 and Lily Allen at 41.
Don't know how, why or what, but I missed the release of Marcelo D2's new album "Meu Samba É Assim"!
