Tonight, if you’re lucky enough to have a ticket, you’ll be seeing The Morning Benders at the Oxford Art Factory. They were almost certainly one of the most blogged about artists of 2010 and despite all my fiercest efforts to keep them off Sound Doctrine here they are. Receive this into your ears.
If you want to hear a few more tracks before you inevitably buy Big Echo then scope out their myspace. Click here for a free download of the album recording of ‘Excuses’.
Sydney based rapper (don’t stop reading here, I know this doesn’t bode well, but stay with me) Miracle is an 18 year old, Ghanean born character who just finished his HSC. He sampled Pete Murray’s Better Days for a high school assignment (that much I learnt from Who The Hell blog) but it’s his version of Angus and Julia Stone’s Big Jet Plane that got me all frazzled.

In 2009 Darwin Deez was the man/band of the hour. He dropped an album called Constellations and everyone went wild! Of course I told myself I wouldn’t post about him because he doesn’t need the exposure and there’s a thousand other blogs where you could read about Darwin Deez but his tracks have been reverberating through my dome since their release. I recently read an article about the problem with music blogs that touched on this exact idea.
In the liner notes of Constellations we read that all songs were performed, produced, arranged, engineered and mixed by Darwin Deez. D.I.Y at it’s finest. I like that. Here is a video of his major single, Radar Detector. If you didn’t hear this on Triple J in the last 6 months then you weren’t listening properly. Or maybe you were listening to FBi or 2ser in which case you just indie one upped me. Ouch.
Hotspa are probably going to be a big deal. Remember that time I told you Jinja Safari were going to be big and now they’re bigger than U2? ACT LIKE YOU KNOW IT! It’ll happen again. I’m making this call on the back of a single song with a film clip. It’s a nice film clip though. It’s a compilation of clips of people that (I assume) are the band’s family and friends doing all sorts of Aussie, summery things. The song rules though. Here is that song.
Hotspa – Kiola Beach

It’s available as a free download from Triple J Unearthed. Thanks Triple J, you are a swell guy.
Cee-Lo Green (of Gnarls Barkley fame) very recently released this cover of Band of Horses ‘No One’s Gonna Love You’. I don’t love this version but it’s always interesting to hear a track I love done by another artist. Also, I’m no film critic but whoever directed this must have pitched it a little like this: “Look, this is what I’m thinking for the video. We have a really nice American road trip style thing. You know, diners, swimming, car scenes, all that crap. But here’s our angle. Amid all these scenes we’ll make sure we slot in some unnecessary boob action! Guys will love it. They’ll be enjoying the scenery when BAM! Breasts! This is going to work. Bigtime.”
Just in case you’ve not heard the original, here it is.
