FR 18DEC09 - Last post of 2009

Sweeter than a doowop group harmonizing while serving cherry fizz and petting puppies... Friday sweet Friday is here again.
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who contributed last week. If you didn't, do it this week!
Here i'll start:


"Meet me in the garden" - Dent May



"I felt stupid" - The Drums




"Dance me to the end of love" - Madeleine Peyroux



"Oops" Hudson Mohawke (remix)



"Lonesome" - Ducktails

(instrumental piece that sounds like it belongs in an old gasparcolour/propaganda film)


"Everyday" - The Main Attraction


(massively sampled in The Avalanches' "since i left you")


"Miracles" - The Jackson Sisters



Friday Radio is going to take a 2 week break to spend some time with family and explain to mom why people like ourselves would rather buy music than bread. I hope you'll enjoy the holidays and FR will be right back...bright eyed & bushy tailed in 2010.

Alright now you go!
Hit REPLY ALL & share the love



[Hamish]

Here's my tune of the week:
Lovers Electric - Honey (Sam La More Remix)


also groovy 'unremixed' version complete with soundtrack here:
LOVERS ELECTRIC - HONEY



and almost not music.... but...... I can't stop playing this...
Warning... this is kind of awful... so mayhaps skip it if you have
'Quality Allergies'

'Sit on You' - Tim & Eric Awesome Show


Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone!



[Tom]

FR 11DEC09

The art of finding new music... Friday Radio Style

If you haven't already known, FR was conceptualized with the idea of discovering music to add to your iPod/finding out about different styles of music/cheering up your Friday. How tunes are discovered every Friday to be featured here often goes like this:


...sometimes, songs are found from reading up on what other people has done outside of their usual work (hello Christian)

Estelle - "no substitute love"

Estelle - No Substitute Love

Estelle | MySpace Music Videos


....or reading comments on youtube

Metric - "help, I'm alive"



...other times, it's from listening to old favourites and finding cover versions on the side

Adele's cover of sam sparro's "Black and gold"




...or taking a chance and clicking on something you've not heard before after listening to your favourites

Isley Brothers - "Love the one you're with"



...or watching ads and then googling after

Blood, sweat and tears - "spinning wheel"



...and clicking on links of songs with the same title

Delia murphy - "The spinning wheel" (old song from Ireland)



...and most often, we find songs from recommendations from the lovely people of Friday Radio

Tokimonsta - "taste"




Have a lovely lovely Friday!


Hi...Here's your friendly neighbourhood FR elf, reminding you to check your spam folder if you have yet to receive today's Friday Radio edition.

You know what they say...spam happens.

Happy Friday ya'll!

Say...how about a tune from nature?


katiepaterson_1
"Katie Paterson is an artist who recorded natural sounds from Iceland’s glaciers, then collected natural ice melt from the glaciers. She then pressed three records made of the refrozen ice with the audio transferred. It took each record two hours of continuous play to melt, but you can hear a sample of what it sounded like"

http://www.katiepaterson.org/sounds/katie_paterson_icerecord.wav

Nature sure can carry a beat

F.R. - 27NOV09

Happy holidays everyone,
Here's what we're digging this week:



The Temper Trap - "fader":

If you haven't heard of The Temper Trap...it's high time you hit a CD shop or an amazon button labeled 'Buy Now'. Best Melbourne band of 2009 & one to watch out for in 2010.


The Kooks - "I want you back" :

Is it just me of the guy that appears in the beginning of the video looks like Paul Dano...


Kid Cudi - "day & night" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkSq2Zn2XoY
There're many collabo versions of this but nothing beats the original


Real to Reel - "Love me like this" :

Old skool r&b with an 80s feel.


Blair - "have fun go mad" :

And one to start the long weekend

Happy Friday!

The Rebirth (a.k.a Back to Basics)

Happy Friday the 13th all.
Today, a change is happening. I'm going to change everything you've known about Friday Radio for the past 10 months.
The Friday Radio Project started out a little over a year ago with no themes. NO THEMES meant that you could put up whatever new music you liked. The moment you've discovered a new song, a great beat a hot tune or a sick mix, you could put up the link here for everyone, without waiting for it to fit a theme.

And today... I'm bringing that back.



"Latin Revenge" - AZEEM & DJ Zeph



"First Friday Funk (looped edit) " - Flying lotus



"Pa pa power" - Dead man's bones




"Too high" - Yesterday's new quintet




"Night sun" - From leaf to feather






So guys, just hit REPLY ALL and post whatever music tickled your fancy this week.

Hell....it's good to be back.



[Sam C.]

Just finished a track w/ a chick from LA called ‘Aimee Allen’ decided to give it away for free – hope you enjoy – attached mp3.

(FR Note: you gotta sign up for Friday Radio to get this. Sign up on the side)

The ‘making of’ video is the link below. Beware, I drop the F-bomb... A lot.





[Damian R.]

When newsreaders were too scared to utter the R-word (and I don’t mean ‘recalibration’), some of them looked to Petula Clarke for help:


At least that what I thought they said.

Enjoy.


[Jeremy F.]

The CAMBODIA Edition

Arun Sour Sdey

To be honest, I'm not very well versed on music from Cambodia. Being curious, I wiki-ed and you-tubed to find out more. Boy was i surprised. Especially enjoyed stuff from back in the 60s/70s when a-go-go was trendy. Take a listen:


"Youm Prab Mek" - Chorn Sovanreach

...sound familiar? there's a mandarin song that holds the same tune.

"Bundum Snea" - Sin Sisamouth


now to speed things up...

"Rom Ago Ago" - Pan Rom


"Rom rom rom" - Pan Rom



traditional music played by victims of landmines at the Angkoh Wat
