This is an awesome Basement Jaxx remix. It was released by BroTown Records. I love the Basement Jaxx original and this remix is nearly as good.
Alphabet Backwards – The Superhero EP
Regular readers of this blog will know that I’m a total sucker for pop music of all sorts; electro, bubblegum, whatever. Very little excites me us much as a disposable pop song that I will have forgotten about in a fortnight.
Enter Alphabet Backwards. Their EP ‘The Superhero EP’ is scheduled for release on the 22nd day of this very month, and if these three tracks available on their Soundcloud page are anything to go by, it should keep me entertained for at least a month before being deleted from my iTunes library forever.
It may sound like I am being unfair and harsh on this band. I’m not, I like them and I think you should listen to them. This kind of pop music has a place in the world, and if you can accept that you might find yourself getting some joy out of it. Stop being such snobs and give it a chance, for goodness sake!
Have a listen to the embed below of my favourite track currently available on their SoundCloud page, and if you like it send your peepers towards their MySpace page.

Eardrums Pop
Those of you familiar with the fairly popular music blog “Eardrums” may or may not be aware of the net label associated with it “Eardrums pop“.
If you’re not, it might be worth pointing your peepers squarely at this website. The blog has for some time dedicated itself to promoting little known indie artists. The label is an online, music distributing extension of this.
Anyway, if you’re some kind of songwriter looking to have your music released and given attention then you can submit your music to the label’s SoundCloud drop box. If you’re not a self obsessed musician and are just looking for some new listening material you may want to take a look too. The label will be releasing digital singles each month. Here is the most recent. For more, visit their website by clicking here.
Midweek Music Suggestions – 07/10/2010
Good morning member of “the public”. As it’s already gone past the middle of the week and I’m late on delivering this I’ve made my selections extra special, I do hope you enjoy them.
If you would like your music to be featured in a future blog post then please get in touch; luke@routenote.com or on twitter @monkeyhotel
Esto is a singer/songwriter from Michigan with more personality and character than literally any other American I’ve ever encountered (sweeping statement). On his MySpace page he tells us “I wrote and recorded the majority of this music in a week. I wanted the songs to be as pure and alive and possible – not genetically altered fruit for everyone to love and indulge themselves in”. OK, so he might be a tad pretentious, but come on – he’s an American. The songs do feel very intimate and as an artist, he clearly knows his sound and what he wants to artistically come across. Very much worth listening to and visiting both his Myspace and SoundCloud pages.
The next artist I would like you all to wrap your ears around is a producer going by the name of Little Weird Orchestra. The reason I like this chap is that everything he does seems to be the result of some kind of experiment in his studio rather than the result of someone sitting down and thinking “right, time to make some bloody music, now let’s see; I’ll probably need some drums”. Each track has a clear theme and idea, which considering the experimental nature of the music makes listening a hell of a lot easier. Check out his SoundCloud and Last FM pages.

And that’s your lot. Until next time.
Jackanory And The Ball – Live Video And Free Download
A few months ago I wrote a review of Jackanory and the Ball‘s rather excellent debut E.P, an E.P which despite its quality I couldn’t help but mock its utterly pony name; The EP.
If you didn’t catch this review then you can read it by clicking here, or if you can’t be bothered with that then why not just take a listen to the E.P for free by following this link to the artist’s bandcamp page? It won’t be free for much longer so if you don’t get it now, you’re simply a moron.
The video below is there should you need a further nudge to go and get this record. The clip is taken from their E.P launch in London last month.
