SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Pink Floyd - 'Obscured By Clouds' (Monoblok & PSLKTR Edit)
I'm A Cliché has released the latest instalment of their 'Edit Service Series' - Volume 35 - featuring a Pink Floyd remix! The Paris label releases a new remix every couple weeks by one of their own crew or from friends - and they make it available as a free download. 'Edit Service 35' is a remix of Pink Floyd's 'Obscured By Clouds' by the French duo Monoblok & PSLKTR.
'Obscured By Clouds' is the title track from Pink Floyd's seventh studio album - which was based on the soundtrack to the film 'La Vallee' and released in 1972.
SummersRadio™ New Music! Nina Persson - 'Animal Heart'/ The Cardigans - 'I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer'
Nina Persson has just released a new single and video online called 'Animal Heart'! 'Animal Heart' is the first single from her forthcoming solo debut album which is set for release in January. Persson has released six studio albums with The Cardigans and two with her side project A Camp - but this next release will be her first proper solo album.
'Animal Heart' finds Nina on a man hunt - and on a trip to the corner shop for some milk in this video shot in one take in her current home of New York City... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! 'I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer' is the cheeky title of one of The Cardigans many fine singles - this one is from their 2005 album 'Super Extra Gravity'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Classic Cover! A Camp - 'Us And Them'
It's 12/12/12! As I write this the '12/12/12 Concert for Sandy Relief' continues live at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The line up is a mixed sac - largely focused on classic rock artists. I've watched a few enjoyable performances - muted some others immediately upon hearing their introduction - and if the rumours are true the thought of Paul McCartney fronting Nirvana later on is a bit unsettling.
So I don't feel particularly compelled to feature any of the artist's playing tonight per se - but while watching the legendary Roger Waters perform 'Us And Them' I was reminded of this excellent cover!
A Camp is the side project of Nina Persson of the recently reunited Swedish band The Cardigans. The trio have released two full length albums so far - as well as 2009's 'Covers' EP which features the band covering David Bowie ('Boys Keep Swinging'), Pink Floyd and Grace Jones ('I've Done It Again').
Nina's vocals are incredible as always - I love it when she sings the line 'Out of my way it's a busy day, and I've got things on my mind'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Classic! Bent - 'Magic Love' So apparently there was a wedding today - did you hear about it? Honestly, I can't believe the amount of coverage that this event has received - we have a very important national election here in Canada on Monday - and even so, this wedding is receiving far more coverage!
Now I'm not big on royalty - or any type of figurehead - and I find it completely ridonkulous that the British taxpayers have to help foot the bill for this. However I wouldn't deny Prince William any happiness after the tragedy he had to endure at such a young age. So with all the overblown hoopla aside then, I wish them well... Cheers!
I've actually had another Bent tune swimming around my head the last couple days (for unrelated reasons) which I will post shortly, but this one seemed more appropriate to begin today with. Bent are an electronic duo consisting of Neil Tolliday and Simon Mills and they are indeed quite British - hailing from Nottingham. They formed in 1999 and have released four studio albums, a best of collection, and a number of dj mix albums. 'Magic Love' is a single released from their second album called 'The Everlasting Blink' - which was released in 2003.
There was initially quite a mystery around who sang the vocals on this track - but it was later revealed to be Toni Tennille from the massively popular 70's duo The Captain and Tennille! Here's another little known fact about Toni Tennille - she sang back up vocals on Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'! I've always thought she was kinda cool anyway, and now knowing that she did the vocals on this song - and sang on 'The Wall' - only makes her that much cooler to me! Enjoy...!
SummersRadio™ Classic! Eric Prydz vs Floyd - 'Proper Education' (Extended Club Remix) I was lucky enough to see Roger Waters perform 'The Wall' in it's entirety live last night here in Vancouver and all I can say is WOW! I've been to countless concerts but it's rare to feel that that you're witnessing such a truly historical piece of music history - it was amazing! This remix by Swedish dj and producer Eric Prydz was officially released on Jan. 5 2007 and not surprisingly was a massive hit reaching #2 in the U.K. - Enjoy!
