TRACKS OF THE WEEK - 03/06/12 - Cut Chemist, The Falls, Ultravox, Scissor Sisters

FOUR DIAMOND TRACKS THAT WILL BE BOOMING FROM THE BUCKINGHAM PALACE SOUNDSYSTEM THIS WEEKEND!

Old Pa's Corner:-
Ultravox - Brilliant(2012)

Shine your bright new star

I am sure a lot of you will have heard this, it is a single from the new Ultravox album 'Brilliant'(2012) there first for about 30 years. I have just heard it and it was a pleasure to hear that great 80's sound. This is no cash in quick buck album. I have listened to the whole album once and was really impressed, there are little or no fillers. It has gone straight on to my 'Ipodish' thing ready for a dog walk. A great honour indeed. I had a soft spot for the boys in the early eighties and remember buying the singles 'Vienna' and 'In the Air tonight' at the same time. Two classics.
All I can say about this track is that it is 'excellent', you thought I was going to say 'Brilliant' did't you?

The Falls - Home (2012)



Checkout The Falls excellent debut single 'Home' - it's perfect Indie-Folk! Apparently, they met, fell in love, wrote songs, fought, made up, broke up and wrote songs, which by anyone standards is impressive!  I'll be watching out for more! 





Flycasual:-
Cut Chemist - Outro feat Blackbird

Splendid Punk/Rap effort from the one time Jurassic 5 DJ, featuring LA alt-rapper, Blackbird, released earlier this year. It's taken from his new album 'Die Cut', his first solo recording in 6 years due to working on other projects and the small fact that he was also 'doing time' (I'm not sure what for). An inspiration for this song, as the hectic, almost furious pace is supposed to signify being on the run, after fantasising about making a great escape.

Scissor Sisters - 'Let's Have A Kiki' (2012)

So what's a kiki? Well it's very fitting for this jubilee weekend! It'a a party for all you (drag) Queens out there! I love this track from the Sisters' new album Magic Hour released earlier this year. Its full of the gay club beats that we used to love about the Scissor Sisters in the first place. I was a huge fan a while back but I thought they lost there way until I heard this track. Now its definitely something that I can see being played loud in the clubs and love the voicemail message being left for a 'girlfriend'. Mmm Hmm honey, lets get our asses up and ready for this Kiki!
