david gray - babylon

i can't believe this song is already ten years old. now i do
remember that i took a while until the album came to me, but
still...time is running my friends. the year 2010 is approaching.
if you don't know this album "white latter" by david gray yet,
go and buy it. if you know it, than sit back and remember.
have a nice holiday

monkey man

the flaming lips - yoshimi battles the pink robots

the flaming lips have been around since 1983. their latest
album just came out recently. this song is from 2003 but
it sounds like it's from the future. kind of fits to the
story that is told in the song.
maybe you like it.
have a nice day,

monkey man

sweet jane - black eyes

today's song is from a band from ireland called "sweet jane".
right now, they are in the process of recording their upcoming
debut album "sugar for my soul" which will be released
in april next year. the song "black eyes" is a little
foretaste, for it will be on that album in a re-recorded version.
if you like the music as much as i do, just send me an email
and i will provide you with a free and legal copy of their
ep "black boots & black hearts".
a nice day to all of you,

monkey man

ryan adams - everybody knows

although this is a very good live version of the song, personally,
i like the album version better and you should check it somewhere...
it's on the ryan adams' album "easy tiger" and is a little slower with
less "heavy" guitars.
funny story i read somewhere is that some guy on a concert
of ryan shouted: "hey ryan, play summer of 69", and ryan got so pissed,
because this seems to happen quite often to him, that he went off
stage and punshed that guy.
i seriously don't know why, i mean who doesn't like summer of 69?
have a nice day.

monkey man

bon Iver - skinny love

if you haven't heard of bon iver yet, than go and check out
one of the best albums of 2008: for emma, forever ago.
the legend says that justin vernond wrote and recorded
the album on his own in a small remote cabin in
northwestern wisconsin. and it sure sounds like it.
last week before the holidays people!

monkey man

ps: there will be a wrap-up on the upcoming sunday instead of last sunday due to time
management problems...

adam green - bunnyranch

bunnyranch is a track taken from adam greens album "friends of mine"
from 2003. it's only 1.35 long, but definitely a nice track.
the album itself is also a really good album, though some of the
lyrics are kind of weird/funny.
i wish you all the best for the upcoming weekend,

monkey man

pete doherty - beg, steal or borrow

this is another live performance of pete doherty.
same tv show, different time, same brilliance.
good day to you,

monkey man

guns'n' roses - patience

patience is exactly what i need right now.
i found this video in high qualitity and had to post it.
their style is just legendary...
it's from their album "lies" from 1988 that was the follow up album
of "appetite for destruction" from 1987. now that's a long time ago.
anyways, have a nice in the middle of the week day.

monkey man

radiohead - house of cards

another track from their album "in rainbows".
awesome track, awesome video.
nice day to you.

monkey man

garland jeffreys - hail hail rock'n roll

here is a classic back from the 90's.
sounds like a dr. alban beat, but i dig this tune, hehe.
although garland geffreys was never really that successful
in selling records, he has been doing music for decades...that's the spirit i guess.
have a good week.

monkey man

phoenix - lisztomania

yehaaa, friday!
some people will have a special weekend after a long period
of brain work i'm guessing...to all the others, have a
nice weekend as well.
this is a song from the latest phoenix album: wolfgang amadeus phoenix.
the only thing i can tell you about the title
"lisztomania" is that franz liszt was a composer of classic music, but you will
have to figur out the rest by yourself...

monkey man

the verve - a man called sun

I was just in such a verve mood, had to post sth from them...
one of my favorite bands of all time...
can't see the man called sun today though, now do you?
in case you don't know, it's taken from their
ep that was released in 1992.
have a nice day

aqualung - easier to lie

aqualung is a british artist. this song is from his album
"still life" from 2003. it's a really good album for
all the people listening to easeful music.

monkey man

the verve pipe - the freshman

this song was a huge hit when i was in the states back in 98/99.
haven't really heard that much from them after that.
this is from their album "villains" from 1996. hm, 1996?
so maybe my memory betrays me...
