THE DO (pronounced Doe)
“Playground Shuffle”
“On My Shoulders”

You have to listen to both songs to get an accurate picture of what The Do is all about. Fusing tribalism, rock and electronica, The Do are unlike anything you’ve ever heard. Sometimes sounding like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and other times veering into a tribal acid trip. They are quite simply unbelievable. They are a French duo and are said to be “ferocius” live. Singer Olivia B.Merilahti does seem to attack the mike at times. Their first cd, A Mouthful, will drop in January 2008.

DARREN HANLON
“Happiness is a Chemical”
“Elbows”

Darren Hanlon is one of the best new song writers I’ve found since starting this blog. I couldn’t commit to posting only one song, and had a tough time narrowing it down to only two. He is a truly talented artist that should be around for a long time. Both tracks are from his cd Fingertips and Mountaintops.

DARREN HAYMAN

His new cd Darren Hayman and the Secondary Modern is available now. “The Protons and the Neutrons” is a strange, hypnotizing spectacle but damn I like the song.

Static of the Gods :: "Pushback" and "Cycles Follow Signs"

The folks at Green Light Go Entertainment Publicity & Promotion were kind enough to send Mister :: Music :: Blog a care package filled with delicious ear candy. Static of the Gods new cd, Cycles Follow Signs sounds like that cd you hear before anyone else and you feel like you have a secret that’s all your own. However, Gods will not be a secret for much longer. I’m featuring my favorite two cuts off Signs here, but that doesn’t mean the whole cd doesn’t deserve a listen. Go over to Green Light Go and check out their other artists too…and tell em MMB sent ya.

Check out this track by Wendie Colter sent in by MMB’s brother. It’s an older track from 2001, but he gets a pass…after all…he’s family…and old.

Rilo Kiley :: "Dreamworld"

I wasn’t a huge fan of Rilo Kiley’s first single “Moneymaker” off their new disc Under The Blacklight, but “Dreamworld” has really grown on me. Sounds sort of like you’re revisiting a 70’s or early 80’s jam session…as if I wasn’t riding my big wheel or watching Knight Rider at that time.

Anthony Hamilton :: "Do You Feel Me"

John Fogerty :: "Creedence Song"

Thom Yorke :: "Videotape"

The Killers featuring Lou Reed :: "Tranquilize"

Mister Music Blog apologizes to all its readers for being away so long. Now, I’m back with a vengeance. So, what better way to say sorry than posting a bunch of really great new music. First up, a Killers and Lou Reed collaboration. I’m going to keep the chatter to a minimum and just post a lot of my newly discovered favorite music.

Chromatics :: "In the City" and "Lady"

The Chromatics are a Seattle based band that I’ve heard described as Vampire Disco music. Apt description. Who knew dark disco could be so engrossing? LOVE this new band. “In the City” and “Lady” are two of my favorites. Their newest disc is titled Italians Do It.

The Thrills :: "Midnight Choir"

Listened to this one constantly on the vacation. Enjoy the Dublin based The Thrills video for “Midnight Choir” off their new Teenager disc. “This Year” off the same cd is also a great song. Enjoy.

Leona Lewis :: "Bleeding Love"

The official video for Leona Lewis new single, “Bleeding Love” is not MMB’s usual fare but it gets in your head and her voice is amazing. I believe she has a big mainstream career ahead of her. This one is taken from her debut album Spirit.
