W♥M066: Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls!

W♥M066 [download (33 min, 12 mb)]

Sally & I finishing part one of her report from Playground Weekender Festival, and as I'm post-editing it, there are some stuff I was throwing out.

Instead, I thought I'd put together this quick Girlpop show since I will be gone most of the day today (Saturday) and probably won't have time to put into writing another review. Don't worry, I have about 100 albums I have to listen to. Sometime it feels like homework, but once in a while, you'll get an album that is simply a joy to listen to. I'm talking about Miss Li (short for Miss Linda), from Sweden.

She'll be appearing in the US for a brief three dates:

Sat-March 20 Austin, TX The Driskill Hotel , 8pm
Tue-March 23 New York, NY Mercury Lounge, 7pm
Wed-March 24 New York, NY Joe's Pub, 7pm

I got the information from one of my favorite label, Minty Fresh Records, but it doesn't look like you can purchase her music through them. Instead, you can head over to National Records and there'll be information on how you can purchase her latest album, Dancing the Whole Way Home. Highly recommended.

Other girl acts, I've been listening to on-off are pictured below:

The Gentle Waves - Sister Woman The Gentle Waves	Strawberry Fair - I Can't Do Anything Strawberry Fair	Baccara - Yes Sir I Can Boogie Baccara	Music Go Music - Light Of Love Music Go Music
Chairlift - Bruises Chairlift	Stereo Total - Tas de Tôle Stereo Total	The Battle of Land and Sea - Harden My Heart Battle of Land & Sea	Telepathique - I'm Not The Man You Think I Am Telepathique

Télépathique's Last Time on Earth

Telepathique - Deja Vu Telepathique Tour Dates 08/01/08 Paragon Bar Seattle, WA 08/02/08 Illegal Pets Denver, Colorado 08/06/08 Double Door Chicago, Illinois 08/07/08 Highline Ballroom New York 08/09/08 Wrongbar Toronto, Ontario 08/10/08 La Sala Rossa Montreal, Quebec 08/12/08 Delancey New York, New York 08/14/08 Los Angeles, California 08/16/08 Uncle Fatties Chicago, Illinois Discography [Feb 2008] Love & Lust EP [Aug 2008] Last Time On Earth

So... you want "Dance Friday"? It's Friday, but I'm not sure if this would be the dance you're looking for.

Anyway, to get a head jump on the onslaught of August 5^th releases, I have here Télépathique's full length Last Time On Earth from The Control Group.

 

Télépathique - Love and Lust

The last time we saw the Brazilian techno/dance duo (Mylene and Erico Theobaldo) was for their 4-track EP, Love & Lust, which I was impressed with. I'm glad to see that all songs (minus the remix "Deja Vu") appears on their new album, including the Portuguese-language "Eu Gosto".

Starting with track 4, are the new songs. Track 4, "Telefunk", is a DJ song that revolves around a sample (I don't know the original song, but it sounds very familiar) with beats and various noises. No singing from the beautiful Mylene.

 

Telepathique - I'm Not The Man You Think I Am Bryan Adams - I'm Not The Man You Think I Am

The songs that Mylene sings on, which is practically 80% of the album, they're more than good. Of all the lyric-based songs, I was surprise to see that they had covered a Bryan Adams song called "I'm Not The Man You Think I Am", a song he wrote the song with Gretchen Peters for the movie Colour Me Kubrick in 2004.

I haven't heard Adams' version before, but a quick check on youtube, I was able to hear his version. While the original is typical Adams pop music, Télépathique manage to reinvent the song here, making it more respectable.

Incidentally, when I say "new" album, this album's actually been available in Brazil and the UK since 2006, but it's finally released in the US on August 5^th. Note that the track listing have been reshuffled on the US version. Anyway, despite being two years old, it still sounds good and timeless. You can pick up Last Time On Earth at any online retailers.

Be sure to see them live, as they are making some rare US appearances.

Reviews: Attack of the EPs

The theme for these reviews are Singles and EPs. Reviewing singles and especially 1-track songs are fast and easy, because obviously I'm not vested in hours listening to a full length album.

Saint Bernadette - Hard to Believe Saint Bernadette - I Wanna Tell You Something... Feb 23, 2008 at 9:17 AM W♥M favorites Saint Bernadette have a new EP called I Wanna Tell You Something... to be released March 17th (although the street date announced on their myspace is closer to March 4th). Please refer to my original article to read about the band. It looks like they (and EVERY other band!) are going to be playing at SXSW this year as well as a few unconfirmed dates.

There's really not a whole lot to write about when you're just given one song to listen to. The good news is that if you like old The Black Crowes, this song sounds exactly like what they sounded like on their quadtriple southern blues/rock album, Shake Your Moneymaker - which is not a bad thing at all if you dislike change.

Télépathique - Love and Lust Télépathique Feb 24, 2008 at 12:45 PM Télépathique are a dance groove/big beat/DJ duo consisting of Mylene (who does all the vocals) and Erico Theobaldo (who handles all the drums, turntables, and various programming), based out of São Paulo, Brazil. I believe they are already a big hit throughout Europe and their hometown with their album Last Time on Earth (2006), but Americans will finally hear about them through their debut North American single: Love & Lust to be release March 18 on The Control Group.

Looking at her myspace, I thought she is a one-woman folk singer, but this EP has a full backing band of Angelo Vermuelen (guitars), Henrik Linde (bass), Chris Steele (drums), Brent Arnold (cello), and Dan Trollinger (piano).

Delorentos - Any Other Way Delorentos Feb 24, 2008 at 10:16 PM Delorentos are a rock band from Dublin, Ireland. It looks like they've released at least six singles/EPs and one debut album (In Love With Detail, 20 April 2007). They were kind enough to provided me with one song from their Basis of Everything EP. The song starts off really slow and quiet, but when it picks up (exactly at the 1 minute mark), it's pretty good. I definitely like the energy and the guitar work on the later half of the song. [ read more ]	Goodtimes Goodtimes - Kids Goodtimes Goodtimes Feb 25, 2008 at 12:27 AM Goodtimes Goodtimes is basically Franc Cinelli, who plays something he calls "alt-folk". His debut album is called Glue (which I think was released in 2007), which I was only offered a few songs his website. Although he's Italian, he did grow up in London, so his songs only have a British accent. Between the four songs I have, I think with its jangly acoustic guitars, I liked "Kids" the best.
