Yelle – A cause De Garcons (TEPR remix)
by Gwenster on Dec.23, 2007, under Weekly tune

O.K this time the “tune of the week” is not only THE tune of the
week but also THE dance of the week .. or YEAR even haha !
I don`t know much about Yelle aside from the fact that she`s
doing some horny sounding electro-pop and is pretty popular
in France where this “Techtonik” style is doing all the raves .
Props to Ninh for finding this !
Check out those moves in the video below WICKED !
For those who`d like to have the song in high quality look no further then below :-)

Kate Nash – Dickhead
by Gwenster on Nov.16, 2007, under Weekly tune

This week`s tune that`s been stubbornly stuck in my head is the nicely
titled ” Dickhead ” by young Kate Nash .
I don`t know much about Kate Nash , except that she`s pretty young yet
alreadystarting to become quite the big star . I`ve heard her name pop
by but never stopped and bother to listen to her songs untill a few days
ago Ninh shoved me a ton of youtube links for her music in my face .
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised .
She reminds me of Lily Allen , which Kate Nash always seems to be compared too
tough I like Kate`s voice alot better , it`s more .. I don`t know “mature” and “full” ?
Argh – Just listen to the song and make up your own mind about this one !
Kate will be performing in Amsterdam`s Paradiso this month , tough unfortunatly
her concert has long since been sold out , and with all the other concerts
I`ve got planned for this month I can`t really justify the cost of getting a more
expensive second hand ticket . I`m sure i`ll see her on a festival next year
if not earlier in a concert somewhere .
In the meantime , enjoy “Dickhead” by Kate nash

“Libera me” from hell
by Gwenster on Oct.07, 2007, under Weekly tune

I have actually been extremely quite about what is 2007`s best anime show on my
blog but true anime fans need no introduction to ” Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ”
With every anime of exceptional excellence there is a soundtrack of epic
propertions to go with it
This rule carries trough for Gurren Lagann , fans of the show had a nice surprise
from them in store because as soon as the last episode (27) had aired marked
the day for the double-disc soundtrack to be released in Japanese stores.
This week`s “Tune of the week” is different from those that came
before it because the track ” Libera me from hell “is unlike the other commercial
songs a part of the soundtrack for the aforementioned show .
It is heard two times during the entire show , both in the later episodes close
to the end and the directors made good use of it by perfectly timing this
song whichis a mixture of rap and bombastic opera vocals to the action on screen .
It was quite hard to pick a single song from the soundtrack to put up as the
tune of the week because quite franctly the entire soundtrack is amazing .
But I chose this since it`s such a powerfull piece of soundtrack and used in
such a powerfull way during the final stages of the show that I relive those
emotions whenever I listen to this , so I geuse it stood out a bit more .
Look out for more Gurren Lagann on my blog soon cause now that it`s over
I cant stop blabbing about how good it is :-)
