Data & Music 101

So yeah it was a full on data of me punching through some almighty fine data yesterday and this also meant me listening to a load of new and recent releases that I may have missed or got a little exicted by. So here goes: First up a dance set (not an album) to blow your mind by Anna Lunoe. Now you can download this little gem and listen to it in full for yourselves below: This is something quite special and will totally get you cutting a rug tonight pre disco days. Highlights include the wonderful Hermitude “HyperParadise" and a remix of a new Ladyhawke cut "Black, White & Blue". Overall an awesome mix and even better, it's totally legal and free for you to download above. Next up DEEP SEA ARCADE - OUTLANDS coming out last month this is a totally Beach Boys inspired fun journey through some Summer days and nights, highlights included "Lonely in Your Arms", "Stream" & "Girls". This is a nice debut from the Sydney 5 piece and a band to look forward to hearing more from in the future. An EP from the Glee Cast of their latest episode "Saturday Night Glee-ver", with my favourite definately being "You Should Be Dancing", however "Boogie Shoes" sang in full drag is awesome! Loves it! An older release from Holly Throsby but a good one her album "Team" was a gem and a mighty fine and chilled affair. With songs like "Here is my Co-Pilot", I am so happy she has experienced sold out shows and lot's of success with her Seeker Lover Kepper work. Holly Throsby is a true Australian gem and I look forward to hearing more work from her and possibly reviewing her "See" kids album in my next load of album reviews. Another bit of girl power from this fine brown land Kate Miller Heidke's new release which came out before even having a single to promote it. Nightflight is a nice release with a very haunting song early on called "Sarah", this song hjas to be heard to be believed. I enjoyed this album and enjoyed her first single from it a lot on Adam Hills show this week - "I'll Change Your Mind". "Humiliation" has had play on JJJ and is another nice tune. Overall a good and solid release. Ladyhawke next month will release Anxiety, the first three tracks are truly brillant pop fun and showing Ladyhawke still has a lot to offer. "Girl Like Me" the opener is grand and a real pop treasure. It's only 10 tunes but that works for this set and I must say I am happy she has the difficult second album out of her way. Macy Gray has released a rather weird covers album titled well Covered, it's strange and is littered with really bad filler skits, that show thus album was a rush and somewhat a quick put together or maybe a record Macy needed to make to complete a contract with a major record company. This is really sad that an artist at the top of the game now has to release this style of musical rubbish. Give this one a miss it's a real shocker. Interesting to hear through how she can ruin songs from artists as diverse as Radiohead to Matallica. Last up is Mat McHugh, his new album is called Love Come Save Me, and the good news is if you click here you get the album for free. Now many will now Mat as the front man for The Beautiful Girls, his solo work is equally as grand, I love it. Chilled, Sunday mornign music here you go if you download this treat. For people new to MAt, he is also quite the looker as below.

Yeah Jack Johnson beat yo heart out! That's it for now, it's been real y'all.
