and now...lets return to the great fleetwood mac
here is a song from their most succesful album...at least i think so:
"rumours", from 1977.
"dreams" is a pretty typical mac song for their late 70s work...
you have the beautiful voice of stevie nicks...and those guitars...almost make it a surfer-song
check it:
fleetwood mac - dreams
ok...so after a week of absence...i´m gonna serve some very fine pieces here:
first...its badly drawn boy´s new single "promises"...in the "a mountain of one" remix...amoo is a quite new british band...they had 2 releases so far...ep1 and ep2...to me their sound brings together slo-mo rock, balearic and instrumental landscapes...just wonderful
here it is:
badly drawn boy - promises (amoo remix)
-hint k.a jonathan james, hailing from sussex, uk
His first singles and debut album -portakabin fever was released by bristol-based independent record label - hombre recordings in association with ninja tune.
The music is at the more chilled-out, downtempo end of the ninja tune roster. several tracks feature looped acoustic guitar and keyboard sounds and his style has been termed "ruralbeat".
this album is great for leaning back and coming down. this track, -the lock up- will make you understand what i mean by that.
download link hint - the lock up
You may know Thomas Fehlmann from his work with The Orb. Here is a track from his latest solo-project, Honigpumpe, released on KOMPAKT only last week.
This is a lovely, slow-building ambient track that should take the edge off after a hard day's work. If that's not reason enough to give it a go, the whole album is honeybee themed, and I'm sure we all agree that bees are cool!

two producers/remixers teamed up to form the duo "beyond the wizzards sleeve". on their myspace site...they dont reveal their identity...but i am sure one of them is familiar to you...
anyway...beyond the wiz... have done several great remixes. one of them is a remix of findlay brown, a folk/rock artist who released the album "separated by the sea" this year on the peacefrog label.
check out:
Findlay Brown - Losing The Will To Survive (Beyond The Wizzards Sleeve remix)

well, the chemical brothers you all know i guess- so i here is a little sneak peak into their new album -we are the night, which was just released last month.
after announcing a new musical direction they came up with some unique tunes that offer music from different backgrounds. all together i cant really say if i like the cd, however
the new album is heavily collaborated with the likes of -klaxons ,midlake ,ali love and wily mason on "battle scars" -which is a very cool track and posted here.
laszlo fogarasi jr. aka yonderboi born 1980 in hungary composes music since the age of sixteen.
his debut album- shallow and profound released in '00 brought him international recognition. in 2005 his second LP Splendid Isolation followed the line.
his name is based on -yonderboy, a character in Neuromancer(wiki) -
a 1984 novel by william gibson notable for being the most famous early cyberpunk novel around.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. The Dave hit-parade must dissapear for reasons beyond his control. Maybe he will return one day, like Jesus, Sadaam, Elvis or Falco.
My last wish is that you all continue to use Sensory Input for the good of mankind and music, remembering that only Sensory Input can save your musical soul.
This my friends is the final post, with a UK band that are very different, two drummers, female vocalists and a cracking beat. Check this hit out: The Go! Team, Grip Like a Vice
how can you not fall in love with phyllis dillon’s incrediably sweet voice? she might be best known as that beautiful & light soprano singing duets with ska & rocksteady authorities like alton ellis & hopeton lewis back in the 60’s & 70’s. but phyllis dillon is indisputably the queen of rokcsteady. She totally dominated the jamaican female scene with an almost yearly outcome of new material, from her breakthrough in 66, until just before she past away in 2004. Make me yours is a poppy kingston track, so here it is for anybody who’s looking for a solid summer groove.

As such, we have realised that Miki is feeling a little left out complaining that "isn't there just a little too much music here. can't you post some pics of dogs. or maybe a horse".
Well just for Miki heres a picture of a Dog riding a Horse. For everyone else here's an excellent classic David Bowie Track "Diamond Dogs".
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Mr. Nej: Diamond Dogs
the libertines were a british rock band who gained notoriety in the early 2000s,
The band was centred on the song-writing partnership and -pete doherty and -carl barat.
Although initially their mainstream success was limited, their profile grew culminating in a number 2 single and number 1 album in the uk charts. however, the band's music was often eclipsed by its internal conflicts, many of which stemmed from doherty's considerable drug use, ultimately resulting in the breakup of the band.
the members of the -libertines have gone on to new bands, with varying degrees of commercial and critical success.
here is -last post on the bugle - from their last album of '04 - which somehow seemed suiting.
here is your link : the libertines - last post on the bugle

with barrabas...a cult band from the 70s!!...here with the great song "woman" on rca-victor from 1972 i think...
i love that band for its great sound that consists of rock, funk and disco!!
this guy really needs a woman
barrabas - woman
soon to come...a sick, hypnotic remix by giulio dj!!!
Who? Well they've coined one of the best lyrical sound bites for a long time "like a monkey with a miniature cymbal", somewhere we've all been before.
Its Hot Chip, a brittish electro band that are a little geeky for my tastes when you see them live, but this track gets its beat and point accross pretty well on CD...but then again were electro bands ever meant to play live? Its debatable.
Anyways, I hear they are due to play this year's Sensory Input Download Festival happening at a private beach location yet to be disclosed somewhere on the Israeli coast later this year. Headlining acts confrimed to be playing so far are DJ Jules, Ike & The Eco Worriers and the newly reformed Butch and The Sidedish. This year's festival is bound to be a sell out event spanning two days of musical wonder, so get your tickets soon!

Ps. Who else thinks the intro reminds you of a certain 80's tv show with a talking car?
check this one.
i just discovered this song playing in the background of the latest -entourage episode.
- now i foresee a very popular summer for this song
its gonna be huge; probably also due to the fact that cee-lo (gnarls barkley), kila kela, dj craze and many more are involved in it. remember where you heard it first!
this is -mayday! - their self-titled debut is filled with electric sounds using diversity as a key to the rise of their new sound creating some of the finest new age hip hop tunes i heard in a while.
great track, here is your link: Mayday - Groundhog Day (Featuring Cee-Lo Green & Dj Craze)
Many of you probably lie awake at night pondering the most intellectual of all dillemas- who would win in a fight between Falco and Hasselhoff, for instance (personally my money is on the Austrian, and he's been dead for a good ten years!).
The rest of you may be wondering what the future of punk or even music itself would have been like without the almighty The Clash? I shudder to think..
The Clash made punk accessible and more honest than the attention seeking likes of The Sex Pistols, and more importantly made music not just anarchist noise. The variety of their music was second only to Sensory Input, and man thats a good second place to be at.
Tonight, do your studying and check out this funkiest of Clash Live tracks: Train In Vain. Check out that hook and do your music collection a favour and buy a copy of London's Calling. RIP Joe Strummer.
after alice russell´s cover posted by ike...i have another on by the dub-reggae band "the dynamics". besides the white stripes song...the dynamics also covered the rolling stones and madonna´s hit from 2000 "music" and established themselves as the reggae-coverband of the minute...
the dynamics - seven nation army
more phoenix...!!!
in 1999 phoenix did this record called "heatwave"...a great house track with a funky hook...
i remember, this got sampled a few years later by a group called db boulevard...a cheap copy, here is the original
phoenix - heatwave
Today, we cover perhaps the most important lesson to be learnt from music history. We all know the scenario: you're in a club, a little worse for wear, had a few too many tequilas, smoked a few too many...Either way, your vision is blurry and your judgement impaired... but she looks ok doesnt she?
Well as Rabbi Ray Davies and The Kinks discovered in their 1970 song "Lola", it turns out that she is actually a he. This subject has of course been explored in more depth by other disciples of this lesson such as Lou Reed in "Take a Walk on The Wild Side", Aerosmith and David Bowie to name but a few.
The Kinks deserve a mention as a band who have thrown their influence into indie music over the years and have added some real classics such as "Waterloo Sunset" to the annals of rock history, and still manage get the Thursday night drunks a-jigging in the indie clubs everytime the old boy plays one of their tunes.
Its a worthy lesson, and one that you should learn sooner rather than later. An excellent track as well.

this is phoenix -
the band formed in 1991 in the semi-affluent parisian suburb of -versailles- , in the same culture that produced late-90s bands such as -air and -daft punk;
Phoenix started as the backing band for a remix of Air's "kelly watch the stars" single. soon after, phoenix released their 2000 debut album.
alphabetical, their second album, appeared in '04 and had some success in the alternative music charts. you should heck it out
here you go: run run run - phoenix
