Jamie Woon - Mirrorwriting

Jamie Woon’s debut album Mirrorwriting will be released on April 11 through Polydor / Candent Songs.
It’s comprised of twelve tracks recorded in East London and Trevone, Cornwall, and includes 2010 single ‘Night Air’, which boasts additional production from Burial. Earmarked as one to watch ever since his exquisite cover of ‘Wayfaring Stranger’ three years back (thanks in no small part to the remix by, yes, Burial), Woon’s star is now truly in the ascendant: he figured prominently in the BBC’s Sound of 2011 poll and performed a sell-out tour (another one has just been announced).
"It’s personal, almost therapeutic," says the 28-year-old of his songs and songwriting. "I’m quite a private person and I don’t set out to talk about my business in public but when songs are done you can’t get around it. They are like a code, and all you need is a mirror to read it."
Tracklist:
1. Night Air
2. Street
3. Lady Luck
4. Shoulda
5. Middle
6. Spirits
7. Echoes
8. Spiral
9. TMRW
10. Secondbreath
11. Gravity
12. Waterfront

Alison Krauss: A Hundred Miles or More - Live From the Tracking Room


An hour "in the studio" with the purest musician in America, watching her do songs from her last, elegant but over-finessed album. For a woman who places so much emphasis on naturalness and authenticity, she must really like her make-up artist, who appears to have done the job with a spatula and blowtorch. Nice outfits, though. And hair. The music? Nine songs, starting with "You're Just a Country Boy", performed with eminent guests in a hallowed atmosphere, plus interviews. About as natural and spontaneous as a 'Vogue' cover shoot. (The Independent, 4 January 2009)

1. You're Just A Country Boy 2. Away Down The River 3. How's The World Treating You 4. Sawing On The Strings 5. Shadows 6. Whiskey Lullaby 7. Jacob's Dream 8. Lay Down Beside Me 9. Simple Love

with:
Barry Bales, Ron Block, Sam Bush, Steve Cox, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, John Hobbs, Abraham Laboriel, Greg Morrow, Gordon Mote, Brad Paisley, Tony Rice, James Taylor, Dan Tyminski, John Waite

2562 - Fever (2011 - Albumstream / NEW LINK!)


"Having defined his own unique take on dubstep and broken techno across his name-making brace of Tectonic LPs, Aerial and Unbalance, Dave Huismans completely overhauled his approach to music-making for album number three, imposing a very specific limitation upon himself: every single sound, “from the smallest background shiver to the most obese sub bass”, would have to originate from a 70s or 80s disco record. No additional synths, drum machines or other sample sources.
Crucially, the album that Huismans has made out of disco samples does not sound like disco. Fans of his previous records will feel right at home with the swagger and swing of Fever, its pulverising bass, its tensile drum patterns; but they’ll also perceive more liquidity to those 2562 grooves than ever before, and more colour to the whole, more joy. Don’t believe us? Have a listen for yourself, as we’re pleased to be able to give you the opportunity to stream the album in full, below, a week ahead of its release through Huismans’ own When In Doubt imprint."

Eric Cantona - Football is not for rich people


“What I think is a shame is that people from lower backgrounds can’t afford to go to the stadium anymore,” Cantona told ESPN. “These are the real fans of football. The game is in their blood. Football is not for rich people. Sure, rich people love football, but it is not such a big part of their life like it is for the working class. I think clubs should make a quarter or half of the stadium where the tickets are not expensive, where these people don’t have to make a big sacrifice to go to the game. It’s their children who will grow up to be the great professional players, not the children of rich people.”
