Free Remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs Heads Will Roll

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
“Head Will Roll” (A-Trak Remix) (MP3)

A-Trak’s remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads Will Roll” has received quite a buildup on the club circuit; food for house-heads and anyone who’s been lit up by Karen O, it’s a crossover track that should soon populate many a dance radio station. Today, it’s blitzing the blogosphere.

Music pick of the week – TAPFS to rock Denver

Bob Weber — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:29:18 +0000

The Australian Pink Floyd Show is coming to Denver next week. I had never heard of TAPFS until today, but they look awesome!

The Australian Pink Floyd Show (aka TAPFS) are a Pink Floyd tribute band formed in 1988 in Adelaide, South Australia. Their live shows attempt to recreate the look, feel, and sound of Pink Floyd’s later world tours,[1] achieved by the use of lasers, props, and a large display panel similar to “Mr Screen.”

I remember watching PULSE and wishing I could see them live. Sounds like these guys are almost as good.

Music Pick of the Week – Flashdance on Grey’s Anatomy

Bob Weber — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:16:00 +0000

I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy, but some of the buzz this morning on the season finale is about a cover of “What a Feeling” from the movie Flashdance. This cover was performed by Hollywood, Mon Amour, the new project from Nouvelle Vague producer, Marc Collins.

Visit the Hollywood, Mon Amour Myspace page to listen to the Flashdance cover as well as covers of Eye of the Tiger, Footloose and Prince’s When Doves Cry.

Music Pick of the Week – Manchester Orchestra

Bob Weber — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:00:11 +0000

This week I’m sharing the new track from Manchester Orchestra, I’ve Got Friends.

Manchester Orchestra is a band out of Athens Georgia, and this song is from their second LP “Mean Everything to Nothing”

Music Pick of the Week – Shiny Toy Guns cover Major Tom

Bob Weber — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:53:55 +0000

If you watch TV (and don’t fast forward through the commercials with your TIVO), you may have noticed an ad for the Lincoln MKZ featuring a cover of Peter Schilling’s Major Tom.

This excellent cover is performed by Shiny Toy Guns, and is available as a free download! How awesome is that?

If you are interested in more from Shiny Toy Guns, you might check out their latest album.

Music Pick of the Week: Dick Brave

Bob Weber — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:00:07 +0000

It’s been a while since I did a Friday Music Pick of the week, but I just haven’t stumbled across anything worthwhile… until now.

Dick Brave & the Backbeats is a band led by German singer-songwriter Sascha Schmitz. In 2003 and 2004 Dick Brave performed live, and recorded an album titled Dick This! The band broke up in November 2004, so this album of covers may be all we ever see from Dick. There are quite a few videos on You Tube of the band, but I picked this one. Avril Lavigne’s Complicated is a favorite of mine.

More Hurra Torpedo

Bob Weber — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:31:09 +0000

It’s been almost a year since I posted the Hurra Torpedo videos, and I thought it was time to share another one.

Here is a great video of “All the things she said”

There is also a video of Brittany Spears’ Toxic on You Tube, but the quality is low. If anyone has additional links to Hurra Torpedo videos, please let me know. Doesn’t look like the band is currently active, so we may never get any more from them.

I Hate Kate on Coverville

Bob Weber — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:38:11 +0000

Brian over at Coverville has a GREAT cover of Peter Schilling’s Major Tom by I Hate Kate on today’s show.

Yeah, OK, so I requested it, but it really is a rocking song. I highly recommend giving it a listen, and supporting I Hate Kate. They rock.

Band of Horses on Numb3rs

Bob Weber — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 17:42:05 +0000

I’m sure many fo you watched Numb3rs last night, not only because it’s an awesome show, but because it was one of the only new things on the TV (stupid Writers Strike).

During the climactic scene of the episode we were once again treated to a great Band of Horses song, The Funeral, in the background. Must be exciting for these guys to get their music used on the prime time TV shows.

Music Pick of the Week: Rooney

Bob Weber — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 23:02:52 +0000

It’s interesting to me what “Alternative” or “Modern Rock” has become these days. I don’t listen to “Pop” radio much these days, just can’t take the Fergie, Kanye West, or Taylor Swifts of the world. Interestingly the hip hop, R&B and other music types that have taken over the pop charts in the last decade or two has forced much of the “power pop” type acts to the “Modern Rock” genre.

I say all of that to introduce this week’s Music Pick, Rooney. Rooney’s single, “When Did Your Heart Go Missing?” is currently getting airplay on the local Denver “Modern Rock” radio station. While I appreciate the introduction, this California band is much more influenced by 80′s power pop than anything that has been in the alt music scene in the last 10 years.

“When Did Your Heart Go Missing?” sounds like it just fell off the sound track to a John Hughes movie, even down to the semi cheesey voice-over last verse:

Things were so good
We had a little dream
A little dream together
Buy a house, settle down, do our thing
But you disappeared on me
And your heart, your heart went missin’…

I suggest you just watch the video for yourself and let me know what you think.
