Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys - 'Empire State of Mind' The current list of songs and artist I am listening to (this week) might look a little something like this.īeyonce - 'Sweet Dreams' (had to use that image - Beyonce is a godess) The fact is that it is the business of popular culture. I tend to be listingening to lots of top 40 stuff. The sad thing is that when people ask this question of me these days I tend to be a bit embarassed at some of the stuff I actually am listening to. It really is something special to be able to talk about music as part of my day-to-day work and I am very thankful for that. I tend to get asked this many times a month as lots of my friends know I have the access to new music because of what I do for a living. This is probably my single favourite question to be asked in the world. Here's the latest single to get you started - INNOCENT Man I love this band and think that you should check em out when you have a chance. It blows my mind and sets my heart a racing Some of the finest lyrics written to accompany and allow for these great harmonic tunes. These guys truly could have been a backing band to some of the Motown greats of years gone by. Check out these 5 tracks and pay close attention to their amazing ability to create harmony. In terms of harmony - I think it best left for the music to speak for itself. I will always have a spot in my heart for this band. Kelly (lead singer) is but a mere 5 feet tall and Richard (bass player) gave me 4 cans of Heineken in the span of 45 minutes chatting. I got to go back and meet the band one time after one of these shows and it was a great experience. It was always rammed and the crowd was so diverse each year. The band used to perform at least once a year in Toronto and play the Warehouse aka Kool Haus. Check out this Stephen Kings esque video for Mr. The band have made some really good videos over the years. At that time it blew my mind as the only music videos I was seeing were the likes of C&C Music Factory and EMF. There was a video for 'Pick a Part that's New' where the band, 3 members at that time, robbed some gold and fill it in the trunk of 3 austin minis and drive around a European town to get away. I was introduced to these guys through The Wedge on Muchmusic back in the early 90s.
In some tracks it's very subtle - but in others it is enought to give you goosebumps. The band are definetly a rock band in all senses of the term - but it's intelligent rock and the HARMONY in their songs is unbeatable today. That greatest hits collection also included a new track - that for my money is one their finest to date entitled 'My Star'.

The band formed in 1992 and have since released 7 full length albums and 1 greatest hits collection. This month's magazine features Arctic Monkeys on the cover and a beautiful advertisment for the new Stereophonics album on the back. This is always a great day as Q truly is gospel for music. It all started when I got to the office and recieved my latest issue of Q Magazine. The Stereophonics have got to be the single best band in the world at harmony today. The reason I picked this word to speak of is that I've been listening to The Stereophonics for the past 24 hours in a very heavy rotation. when blended into chords pleasing to the ear chordal structure, as distinguished from melody and rhythm. The simultaneous combination of tones, esp. I like the following definition for the word harmony the best.
What a great year for new music this was.
We Were Promised Jetpacks - 'It's Thunder and It's Lightening'.Peter Bjorn & John - 'It Don't Move Me'.Empire of the Sun - 'Walking on a Dream'.
