I have a song on my playlist that has no title or artist and I really really like it, and want to find more by this artist/group/collaboration. It's a singer and a rapper, some mellow grooving beats, and the standout lyric is "all over the world".
Starts out, "In New York they want me, and I'm gonna be there. The city's calling, and I'm gonna be there. Ready to ?fight? All over the world." "In Paris/West Indies/Mother Africa, wants me/loves me, and we're gonna be there, etc." and the rap starts out "all over the world, spread the vibe...mi amigos at my side, ready to take the world on, do or die"
ring a bell for anyone?
Rascalz/Barrington Levy/K OS, "Top Of The World"
yes! [link]
thanks so so much, juliana!
And now I can go shopping for some more Barrington Levy, what a fantastic voice and I like his sound, from what I'm hearing on iTunes and Amazon downloads.
Oh dear. The Sisters of Mercy are touring again. I wonder if the show will be as awful as the last one? (Amps cranked so high that it was nothing but a wall of distortion, the fog machine set on "blinding" so no one could see Uncle Andy.)
But yes, I'm going. The StuntHusband has never seen SoM, and Pete is going with us so he can tell people he's Andrew Eldritch's younger brother.
if I was looking to get mp3s of live performances from like the grammys or fashion rocks or whatever that are not officially released - where would be the place to do that now. back in the day I got stuff on napster, but I have not been non-commercial mp3 searching for a while.
Damn, Oneida's recent album, Preteen Weaponry, is great. For fans of self-indulgent krautrock and unchecked ambition.

That's the one with like 3 really long songs? Yeah, quite cool.
Yeah, that's the one. It's really just one really long song split into three parts. About 45 minutes long with maybe 2 minutes of singing in and among the groove. Their last one, The Wedding, had some fantastic singing on it and lots of chamber-pop dressing, but this one is all noise and groove and dynamics. Exciting stuff!
I also wanted to mention that emusic has a free sampler of music from The Real Tuesday Weld, a one-man band of chamber-pop with lots of horns and goofy creativity spilling out all over the place.
I love their "Ruth, Roses, and Revolvers".
