I swear I could have chosen any song from the album I wanted to feature today, Copeland’s 2005 album “In Motion”. It just so happens to be that on this particular day, I chose this one, for no reasons like the words it might include. I’m several hours late, but with good excuse - having had my tooth taken out today, I’m in quite a lot of missing-tooth-related pain (that’s both physically and mentally!). Send me pity, I’ll send you love! Fortunately enough, the good rocking tunes of Copeland are getting me over my problems! Enjoy today’s suspiciously picked “Choose the One Who Loves You More”:
If you’ve been following Something Chewie, you’ve heard Joey Eppard on here not once, not twice, but thrice before. Well, here he is again, taking the roles as guest vocals for indie/electro/techno/pop/whatever the hell you want to call it one-piece artist Cosmo Vitelli. Also known as Benjamin Boguet, the French-born artist lived in Côte d’Ivoire for 10 years, before moving back to France and strengthening his love for music, and by the late 90s, had submitted several demos to labels, one of which “Don’t eat animals anymore, eat children” got the attention of the Solid record label. In 2003, he released his first full length, “Clean”, which just so happens to feature our man, Joey Eppard on today’s track, the lovable, but complete with typical dark undertones, “Robot Soul”:
Sorry for the long lack of updates, and I can’t promise anymore in the near future, but I thought I’d get in at least one before tomorrow! John Barrowman, known famously for the charming and debonair Captain Jack from Doctor Who and Torchwood is also a very representable musical performer, having appeared in many stage productions. Now he’s released his first pop album, “Another Side”, featuring a selection of cover tracks that mean a lot to him personally. The whole album is full of nice surprises, but my favourite by far, is his cover of “Feelin’ Good”:
Sorry for the lack of new songs for the weekend, but as I previously mentioned, moving can be quite a chore; I’m all settled in and ready to bring a great song for today’s track! Being described as "one of the best covers of all times", The Postal Service’s rendition of Phil Collin’s "Against All Odds" certainly tries its best to please. The Electronic/Indie-pop duo of Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel) puts their distinct style on to a classic song, and completely redesigns the song. I’ve listened to it so many times since my friend sent it my way - and that’s exactly the type of song that I want to place on to Something Chewie. Here’s hoping you will enjoy "Against All Odds" as much as I do:
Bana had the privilege to sing both the opening and ending to the anime Witch Hunter Robin - and a good choice they made. You’ve already heard the instrumental version of the opening track, Shell - one of the original songs posted on Something Chewie, so now lets hear the ending! Bana’s voice is lovely and pleasant on the ears, and the music is catchy and enjoyable to boot. Put it all together and what have you got? One great tune! Here is Bana’s “Half Pain”:
I’m keen to re-present Beulah because today’s track is just good enough to get you in the mood for… anything! You already know the story of the band’s beginning but let’s just have more time to enjoy the music! Today’s track is again taken from 2001’s "The Coast is Never Clear" and is called "Gravity’s Bringing Us Down" but don’t let it! Enjoy!
My apologies for the lateness and shortness of today’s post - the sites been inaccessible for me for some time, and now I have to get an early night. I’m moving into my new accommodation this week, and although I try to keep on posting, if I miss a day, I’m very sorry!
Time for some gentle, easy going indie rock from Arizona-based “Calexico” - a band you may well have heard before, considering their inception was now over 11 years ago - and five studio albums to their name. We’re taking a track from their latest, 2006 album, “Garden Ruin” which has been described as the band’s most accessible and pop-based album to date. One of my favourite songs on the album is “Letter to Bowie Knife” - so look out for that. But today’s track, another great song, is “Panic Open String”:
I came home today completely exhausted, and what better way to get myself back up and running than a catchy pop punk rock tune that gets you jumping and feeling good? Canadian Band Marianas Trench give me just the opportunity! There is an interesting story behind their name - when the band was caught up in bad weather over the Mariana Trench, they decided if they made it out, they would call the band “Marianas Trench” - fortunately they did! Their debut album released last year, “Fix Me” has had three top 20 records in Canada, and one that hit the US Hot 100. And one of those, was “Decided to Break it”:
Like Gatsbys American Dream before them, Forgive Durden (so named for Fight Club) brings about a concept album to an indie pop-punk rock mix of music - then throw in some social commentary, a couple of banjoes and maybe even a mandolin or two). The album follows several characters through “Wonderland” - a place of corruption, where life spends most of its time in a cubicle. If you can’t get into the story (or if you can relate to it far too much than you’d like) you can simply enjoy the rock! Here’s “Parable of the Sower” - which provides a suitable example of the band’s music, especially when all hell breaks loose at the end!
For today’s post we’re revisiting the previously featured band Monoral - and to the reason why it was featured in the first place - the first song I heard by them, and the song that, with good reason, pushed them to public appraisal and international recognition. A 1 minute 30 second version of “Kiri” was used as the opening theme tune to the sci-fi/psychological anime show “Ergo Proxy” and from its feature starting in the second episode, fans desperately clamored for the song. As one of said fans, I can tell you I listened to it over and over again as soon as it was mine! Their recent album released earlier this summer, “Turbulence”, featured the track and was used as their opening for their live performance for the celebration of the new album. If you’ve liked what you’ve heard on Something Chewie so far, I can guarantee you’ll love this:
