No ! I won’t promote a full rap-like album or I will ban myself from this blog forever ! But please, allow me to post a single song : rejuvenation is on my side and I can’t resist sharing it with you !
Taken from Wills and the Willings forthcoming album, Heroes & Villains, Lipstick is a thought-provoking track inspired by the London bombings of 2005. Main vocals are coming out from Tom McRae’s soprano voice.
By spending a mere buck you can help the victims/families of the London bombings of 7/7.
Here’s the time for another exceptional cellist : Lindsay Mac. It Should be another summer effect, but I’m irremediably attracted by strings. I hope your screen his wide enough for displaying her picture, because I do not find a way to crop it !
With an amazing repertoire : from Rock to Jazz, from Jazz to Pop, and Pop to something dealing with modern country, and then through folk via electro-folk.. – let’s call it Alternative, Lindsay is a non-stop amazing artist. I’ve been listening all day long, before writing this post, to her first full length ‘Small Revolution‘, I was surprised each time the loop repeats !
No one makes me ‘fly’ with Peter Pan but Miss Lindsay Mac : an exceptional plucked insurgent cello player (she declined the classic way) ; gifted with a supreme (delicious, amazing and sometimes surprising) voice. Well, a complete performer who can count on a wide songwriting talent… add to these previous a (need to enlarge my dictionary) great ability for composing and dressing beautiful songs… (that’s enough !)
Well, you might have guess, Lindsay Mac is releasing her second solo album this coming september : Stop thinking, and except couple tracks I have no other information to share. So here are first song called Faith from this new opus and an ‘old’ favorite Lucy. Enjoy !
Low audio quality, but what an awesome track : Barbies & Broncos !
Artist : Lindsay Mac Label : Taiga Records / Golden Rod Distribution Where to buy : CdBaby.com, Golden Rod Distribution, Itunes More Appetizers : sonicbids.com, myspace.com If you love Suzanne Vega, Tory Amos (listening to Lindsay reminds me to Tory last hit of mine : Parasol), Sinead O’Connor ( for the electro-acoustic wise-range), Elvis Costello (for many songs but especially the parallels between Veronica and Lucy… ) (hum), Joe Jackson (undoubtly)…, Lindsay Mac should be your next favorite. You should also enjoy : Mieka Pauley, Amber Rubarth (reminds me to bog about her), Me

So fluent !
Some are favorites and you can spend almost a full day, a full week joining the explanations without success. I’ve just, just just – i’m listening to the first song ; while writing these few lines – bought Merz last release from Emusic… and here am I ; writing, listening… absolutely matching my mood. Pause and replay… an acoustic guitar, couple verses.. then angels…. Absolutely matching my altitude. Fly high…
Thanks Mr Lambert, no matter the rest of your album… this one is delightful.
This post is just supposed to be a reminder for all of you who have forgotten Loveheart… Be blind, jump the fastest music store and bring home ‘Moi et mon camion’ new Merz’s album.. it will drive you where you want for more than a full year.
“Merz aka Conrad Lambert has a life as unorthodox as his music. He began his travels at 18, after his schooling in West Yorkshire, and has made friends in 48 countries. His parents live in Mongolia, his grandmother was born in Babylon (Long Island that is). He’s currently settled in Bristol, where, distanced from the industry, he writes his curious music.” NME – if someone could point me on who’s the hell is this NME – no matter everyone ?? .com ????
As usual – i’ve finally found time to listen this pure jewel from start to end – enjoy the intro album titled first track, and another favorite one from Loveheart -nb : full discography is a must have !
