Songs Of The Day - Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly
October 23, 2007
Two songs today from the album Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager by Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly (more usually known as Sam Duckworth). Probably one of the best names for a band I’ve heard in ages. Firstly Call Me Ishmael which is a cracking tune, a little quiet so you might need to turn it up a little. The second video is an amateur recording of the title song Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, urging consumers to “Open your eyes, you don’t need to buy it”. Find out more (and listen to 5 album tracks for free) at http://www.getcapewearcapefly.com
Song of the Day - Big Casino by Jimmy Eat World
October 11, 2007
OK boys and girls, the latest album from Jimmy Eat World is out and is definitely worth a listen! Big Casino, the opening track, gives you an immediate sense that you’re onto something good. Sorry about the ‘clip’ or lack there of, but give it a go. Simon Says.
As of September 29th, 2007, “Chase This Light” had been leaked onto the internet in full. Jim has stated, on the Jimmy Eat World website that “Chase This Light” would be officially released on October 16th, 2007.
Jimmy Eat World was formed in Mesa, Arizona in 1993. Singer/guitarist Jim Adkins and drummer Zach Lind, who had been friends since kindergarten, joined forces with guitarist Tom Linton and bass player Mitch Porter to try their hand at music.
The name Jimmy Eat World did not refer to lead singer Jim Adkins. Tom Linton’s younger siblings, Ed and Jimmy, fought constantly when they were younger. Jimmy, who was stronger and heavier, would usually win. In one instance, Ed, as revenge, drew a picture with crayons of Jimmy shoving the entire world into his gaping mouth with the caption, “Jimmy eat world.”
Song of the Day - Minnie The Moocher By The Band From TV
October 5, 2007
The Band From TV comprises of Hugh Laurie of House fame (although Blackadder is his finest hour) on the keyboard, Desperate Housewives’ James Denton on guitar, Heroes‘ mind-reader Greg Grunberg on the sticks and various others.
They came together after Grunberg was asked to get some names together for a charity concert at The House of Blues and they kept going. Their version of Minnie the Moocher (which I can’t find on You Tube) is the most popular on iTunes - there are over 50 others. The video is just a slide show, but the song is cool.
If you want to know more, I’ve added this video as well:
