So I finally got around to updating our Spotify playlist. This one is in tribute to The Brianjonestown Massacre who I've been listening to a lot recently. The front man Anton Newcombe is a genius making consistently good records, but even more amazingly they all have very distinctly different styles. Shame that he is battling with drug addiction and alcoholism which contributes to his deluded view on life (see documentary DiG! and the video below).
All the bands featured (except Papercuts) either have members who have previously been in BJM or are accosicated with the band. Check out the playlist here.
Tracklist:
1. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Going To Hell 2.The Dandy Warhols - Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth 3. The Warlocks - Shake The Dope Out 4. Dead Meadow - Between Me And The Ground 5. The Raveonettes - Love In A Trashcan 6. Black Rebel Motorcycle - Whatever Happened To My Rock 'n' Roll 7. Spiritulized - You Lie You Cheat 8. The Black Angles - You On The Run 9. Papercuts - Once We Walked In The Sunlight 10. The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Jennifer
A friend of mine used Dave Porter's track 'I'm The Boss' in a short video he made here. The first time I heard it was tonight and I must have played it 20 times already. It's a genius catchy psychedelic folk track which is completely irresistible. Download it below with two other tracks 'Why I Can't Love You' and 'Where Do Cloulds Go,' which are also both great offerings, from I assume a fairly unknown artist due to the lack of coverage on the net.
Also this is a perfect time to mention this friends current musical project Clout which is him and two other guys. Although only two songs on the myspace the potential these guys have is clearly evident. Very experimental sounding taking influence krautrock, psychedelia and dubstep. Have a listen here.
Also check out the new spotify playlist for some krautrock gems.
If you haven't already got Spotify then I recomend that you download it. It allows you to stream thousands of songs which includes whole albums so you can decide if you want to buy the record or not. The other great feature is that people can set up playlists to share music with friends.
Over here at Heads Will Roll we have set up two playlists. The first is our Heads Will Roll Blog playlist. This is where we are going to add songs by the bands we are blogging about or that we are currently listening to. So you can check them out.
The seconds playlist is an open playlist called Heads Will Roll Open Playlist this is where we want you to add the bands that your listening to, so everybody else can listen to them too.
To access the playlists just download Spotify, click on the hyperlinks and then choose open with Spotify.
I really hope that this takes off as I think that it's a great way to share music.Enjoy.
