SummersRadio™ 2 Year Anniversary!! New Music! Lola Dutronic!
SummersRadio™ 2 Year Anniversary!! New Music! Lola Dutronic - 'S.O.S.'
Today marks the 2nd Anniversary of SummersRadio™'s official blog! Although the Facebook group began six months prior and we actually began posting as such on Facebook in 2008, we officially transitioned into a blog two years ago today! So we're up to 891 posts so far (with many that feature more than one song) - that's a lot of quality new music :) I hope you're enjoying it - many thanks to each and every one of you who've viewed and listened so far - Cheers!!
So today we shall celebrate with some new music from Toronto/ Dusseldorf duo Lola Dutronic. We recently featured their clever new single and video 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead' last month which you can revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/09/summersradio-new-music-lola-dutronic.html
Both 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead' and 'S.O.S.' are from their latest album called 'Everyone's A Star' which is available on itunes. 'S.O.S.' is a brilliant cover of Dire Straits first hit single - 1979's 'Sultans Of Swing' from their self titled debut album.
I had fun playing this song for a few people who recognized or even knew the lyrics, but couldn't name the original - it drove them crazy until the chorus. That's because musically speaking 'S.O.S.' is quite the metamorphosis - from British pub rock to European electro pop - and singer Stephanie B's vocals are more akin to the lovely Miss Kittin than the rather gruff Mark Knopfler... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Lola Dutronic!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Lola Dutronic Featuring Stephanie B - 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead'
Toronto duo Lola Dutronic have released a new video for their latest single 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead'! 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead' is from their new album (their fourth full length) called 'Everyone's A Star' which is released on the Red Star Digital Music label. The thirteen track album is available on itunes now and it will also see a physical release on cd on October 11th.
'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead' is a clever tune about rock and pop stars who die young - and how quickly their shortcomings are forgotten when they pass on. The lyrics - like all good comedy - are amusing because they're true. They make some great points - how most people didn't fawn over Nick Drake until years after he was gone, how Sid Vicious never managed to become a good bass player - and how a premature or unexpected death equals some of the artist's best chart placings of their careers.
What makes this song so instantly likeable - aside from the brutal honesty - is the sweetness of the vocals and the catchy chorus. Rarely does a song about death sound so uplifting! And the irony isn't lost on the band - as they even ponder the possibility that their own greatest fame may also be posthumous. The song features over a dozen guest backing vocalists including members of the Tom Tom Club and Gang Of Four.
The video features a montage of music stars who've left us - it's fun to see how many you can name - and I like the cheeky intro graphics... Enjoy!
