Marissa Nadler


Marissa Nadler, born in 1981, is an American Folk / Dream Pop singer who's going to release her sixth studio album called July on next February. Pitchfork mentioned her as "A voice you would Follow straight to Hades" and I couldn't agree more than this sharp definition of her haunting Mezzo-Soprano voice. Accompanied with an acoustic guitar, July might be as good as other songs she released so far. Take a listen to few of them, maybe you'd fall in love.

1. Fifty Five Falls taken from Ballads Of Living And Dying, 2004
2. Nothing In My Heart taken from July, 2014
3. Baby, I will Leave You In The Morning taken from Marissa Nadler, 2011
4. Apostle taken from The Sister EP, 2012
5. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go (Bob Dylan cover version), 2011

Rattle And Hum: 25 Years To U2 Album

Rattle And Hum was released about 25 years ago on 10th of October, 1988. Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton tried to follow the roots of Gospel and Blues Rock after making their wonderful The Joshua Tree. Some of the critics said that U2 were trying to get into the giant shoes of the artists they covered, such as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, John Lennon and B.B King. Still, It was a great effort to travel through America's earlier sounds. 25 years after, some of the songs might sound pretty old, but it deserves the recognition, so here are five original songs from that album

God II
Heartland
Desire
When Love Comes To Town (With B.B. King)
All I Want Is You

10 years for Beck Hansen's "Sea Change"



On the 24th of September it would be 10 years since Beck Hansen released his highly appreciated album called Sea Change (2002). The album was written after he broke up with his fiancee, Leigh Limon which cheated on him with a member of Whiskey Biscuit band. Nigel Godrich, which is known for his works with Radiohead had produced that album. The acustic sound was very different of what Beck has done and it was compared to Nick Drake's work and to Bob Dylan's albums from the 70's. So here are the 5 tracks which I like most from this album

1) Lonesome Tears

In 5 words: Breathe taking piece of art.
Favourite line: "Lonesome tears, I can't cry them anymore, I can't think of what they're for, Oh they're ruin me everytime"


2) Lost Cause

In 5 words: Brave and honest break-up song
Favourite line: "I'm tired of fighting, tired of fighting for a lost cause"


3) Round The Bend

In 5 words: I thought Nick Drake's alive
Favourite line: "We don't have to worry, life goes where it does; Faster than a bullet, from an empty gun"


4) Sunday Sun

In 5 words: Surprisingly electric and noisy one
Favourite line: "There's no other ending, Sunday sun"


5) The Golden Age

In 5 words: Great trip to an American night
Favourite line: "Put your hand on the wheel, let the golden age begin; Let the window down, feel the moonlight on your skin"
