Lady* – Get Ready

I discovered Transatlantic duo Lady (a rather search engine unfriendly name!) a few weeks ago via the excellent Far From Cyan blog. This is fierce, in a good way.

Gregory Porter – Be good (Lion’s song)

The day after the weekend before. I am feeling fragile and not a little jaded but I had a great few days in London. It has had a restorative effect on me.

Gregory Porter is an American Jazz singer. His track Illusion was one of my favourites of last year. This is taken from his 2012 album of the same name.

The Underachievers* – The Mahdi

This track, by Hip Hop duo The Underachievers who are from Flatbush Avenue, New York, is one of several rap tunes that has excited me recently. Look out for more in the coming days. It is taken from Indigoism which they recently released on Brainfeeder records.

An added bonus here is the video, which I really like. It’s a very simple, classic motif featuring some classic urban landscapes.

Pulp – Common People

I am aware that a few of my recent posts have been a little obscure and/or esoteric. I guess I have just been bitten by the live music bug and this has in turn lead me to expand my musical horizons anew.

I haven’t, howvever, forgotten about my musical roots. This track is one of the most indelible of my school days. On reflection I am surprised that I hadn’t posted it already. It’s hard to beat Britpop heroes Pulp and their brand of highbrow pop.

I want to live like common people. I want to do whatever common people do. I want to sleep with common people, I want to sleep with common people like you…
