Last night I attended a 35mm
screening of Stop Making Sense, which is the Talking Heads concert
film that was directed by Jonathan Demme. I certainly can't consider
myself the biggest fan of David Byrne and Co., but I thought it was a
stellar "show" that showcased all of their best material, of which you
probably know more of than you think (or that's how it was for me, anyways).
See it if you can! On a totally different note, today I have something
new from Club 8's Single/EP/Remix-thing for Jesus, Walk With Me.
The act is about as perfect as it gets when it comes to Swedish pop music,
so I very much recommend seeking out the EP or the full length, The Boy
Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming. Both are available now via Labrador
Records. Enjoy.

8 - Jesus, Walk With Me (The Sound Of Arrows Remix):
I've liked the original, dreamy version of this song for a
rather long time, but I think that the good people doing the
remix made it worlds better. I really like how they
left the vocals and ditched the simplistic and slow
arrangement for something a bit more electro-pop and, maybe
more importantly, alive. This gem now swirls around in
your head and fills the room with all kinds of pretty.
That's right, pretty. Deal with it.
Here is a nice
video that was made for Whatever You Want. The
song was easily one of my favorite pop numbers from last
year, so make sure you check it out if you missed it or
don't remember its loveliness.
