Good Afternoon all current, past and future followers, blog readers and 'haterz'. We are feeling a bit soppy and would just like to pass on to you a massive thank you for all the support so far. We're just a little blog on a massive island, just the Pon de Replay in the world of Umbrella - GOING FOR A NO MAN IS AN ISLAND/RIHANNA FAN VIBE HERE.
Anyway, we are having a short blog post break for a few weeks but will still be here recommending artists, songs and general music banter. This will mainly take place on sites where its possible to be hopelessly ironic in 140 characters or less. So HERE and HERE basically.
Please listen to this pop pick as our thank you for your ongoing support and of course the sweet,sweet music you create for us to write about and make "hilarious" witty quips with.
You may remember a short while ago we posted about excellent Edinburgh outfit The Last September? Well since then, we have been in contact and like to think we sort of made 'pals' with them. Anyway, their singer Peter Deane has generously donated some of his time to record the first Feed the Fish 'live lounge' if you will. An acoustic version of Milk; get your gorgeous lugs round this!
You can also hear the original version HERE. Handclaps all round!
It is a ragingly awful day weather
wise here in the ‘Burgh. Why not introduce your ears to some music to accompany
your indoor dancing and head banging session? We presume this sort of thing
happens when Edinburgh goes climate change mad. So move the sofa to the side,
slam this on and dance and pout like a cross between Mick Jaggar and a Pussycat
Doll. Introducing the musically stimulating: The Gold Lions.
As you can see there are two of them
and they make the sounds currently hitting your eardrums- Handclaps and gold
stars for that feat first of all. They sort of sound like what Jack White would
be doing more of if he could stay in the same fucking band for more than two
minutes crossed with the Rolling Stones. If, for some obscure reason you
dislike either of the parties featured in this descriptive artist mash-up may
we suggest that you:
A) Calm down and get a grip it was just an
innocent aural explanation OR
B) Choose one artist who plays guitar and
sings from the past decade (not John Mayer though for obvious reasons) (He's a dick) and mix it with a late 60s early 70s rock/blues band.
After doing either of these options
you are more than likely to end up with a ‘sounds like’ story all of your own
for The Gold Lions. Congratulations reader!(s)! Those who love an acoustic
number will not be made to feel left out with these boys. Here’s a version of a wee song called Silver Screen featuring
a marathon whistling sesh:
Imagine all ‘Yoofs in Hoodys’ were
replaced by that sort of entertainment in the dark places they like to reside such
as tunnels and alleyways? A potentially new Scottish investment for THIS GUY
maybe?
There isn’t a massive amount to go on
biography wise with Gold Lions but for the sake of listening to some good tunes
and maybe even purchasing them – do you really need it? Unless you make musical
purchase decisions based purely on how many covers of Heat magazine the artist
has made we are sure you will be fine with this one. If you do want to purchase
their tunes you can do so HERE and if you want more than the tight fisted
30second iTunes clip to go on you can peruse HERE. They are also well up for the
whole social networking thing and regularly update Twitter; for all out there
who are just too busy living their bloody lives to read more than 140
characters of information at a time.
