Playlist 30.07.2011: Charles Bradley, Hot Snakes, The Men, Ramones, Lee Dorsey

Good news for all you Hot Snakes-fans. The band is getting back together for the ATP-festival this december. And there's a good chance at a few more shows! Gave me a good excuse to play a track from their debut-album on Tegentonen.

Sure, I brought new music too. Charles Bradley for instance. His rendition of Nirvana's Stay Away is probably one of the best covers I've heard in a long time. More good news? It's a free download over at Spin Magazine, called Newermind. I've included the downloadlink to the full album in the playlist. If you're just interested in this song, listen to it below:

Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band - Stay Away

Some sad news last week: singer Amy Winehouse died. Tremendous talent, troubled personal life. I played a nice version of an old Phil Spector-song as a small tribute.

Warpaint have a new video for their song Warpaint. It's pretty cool actually, so cool I've posted the link below. Enjoy the video, enjoy the playlist and I'll see you back here in about three weeks!

Playlist 16.07.2011: The Men, Graveyard, Violent Femmes, Dyke & The Blazers

Apologies for the sloppy show yesterday. Don't know if it was the holidays or the extremely shitty weather that caused it, but damn, Tegentonen sure had better moments. At least the music was great. Some gems in the shape of Dyke & The Blazers (this particular song was used by The Heavy on their single How You Like Me Now).

I also played Not Bitter, But Bored by Johnny Panic & The River Of Dreams. Doesn't ring a bell? Well, this was guitarist Alain Whyte's band when he wasn't playing with Morrissey. This song was recorded in the late nineties. Morrissey liked it and wanted to use it. The lyrics and title were altered and the song became one of Morrisseys biggest hits: Irish Blood, English Heart.

Another gem we played was an early version of Bruce Springsteens Born In The USA. Recored during the time The Boss was working on Nebraska, so quite a different take on this song.

Was there any new material? Sure, how about brand new stuff from The Men, Graveyard, Warpaint & Mogwai?!

Here's hoping for better shows. And better weather, because the summer here is more like the fall at the moment.
