Amy Winehouse @ Mercury Awards

Klaxons win. This takes it though.
Read roundup here.

Tears Dry On Their Own (Al Usher)

Favourite track off the latest Winehouse album. For the single release the track has just been remixed by Al Usher, and then New Young Pony Club. I refuse to talk about the latter, however the Usher rework is very nice indeed. . adding some more soul and for me, topping the original.

Here it is on zshare because divshare seems to be awol.

he's relapsing, look how he's rapping..

First heard about this song when I heard Mark Ronson saying some very good things about Jay-Z. . since then it's been my most anticipated release - not because I'm a fan of the original.. but because of this man.

Good Music Friday

This first surfaced back in september O6. It's by Sonar Kollektiv duo Ame. And has to be one of my favourite minimal tracks ever. Whereas minimal can get a bit boring, this certainly doesn't. And while I lost sight of the track for a few months, I was reminded of its greatness this week when i was down town in some trendy clothes shop and heard it come over the speakers. I found I was unable to keep still. Pastaboys remix is also a beauty. But just incase you have never heard the track il drop it here for you, if you like, you can buy it here. And yes I seriously recommend you do. Another recommendation, i also suggest you grab the "Ame...Mixing" that they released last year also. Its also available at Phonica. Perfect to fall asleep to.

While I'm here I might as well push you in the direction of Mark Ronson's Album, which has recently reached me. Firstly, you might want to check out Theserockspop for two cuts from the album and a Dirty South remix off the CDS version of his latest single "Stop Me".

After a first listen, the track that has probably stuck with me so much is his take on scouse indie band the zutons "Valerie" bringing in none other than Amy Winehouse on vocals. I'm not usually a massive fan of her's but I have to admit she nails it here.
Make sure you cop the album here.

I'l leave you with this track by Calvin Harris. Who in many peoples eyes is the new mylo. I believe he's scottish as well. Well.. i actually prefer this track to the single he released "Acceptable in the 80's". He's been asked to do production on the new Kylie album, as well as releasing his own album due sometime in June. Check for updates on its release here and at his myspace. Currently on tour with Faithless.
