Afraid Of Losing Yourself And Your Love? The Head And The Heart Have A Surprising Solution!

By Coco January 22, 2014

From my own personal experience this has always been the solution to every obstacle and problem arising, especially in relationships and with loved ones. These relationships can only work, for both, when both are concious of being and of oneself, and to achieve that you have to do just what The Head And The Heart suggest. A perfect soundtrack to everyones life situation when spiralling out of control and getting lost in the external and its stories… and we all know how fast that can happen. The music is charming to say the least and without a doubt the most beautiful song you will hear all week, pure chicken soup (in my case veggie broth) for the soul. Consider me a fan of The Head And The Heart!

You can get lost in the music for hours, honey,
You can get lost in a room.
We can play music for hours and hours
But the sun’ll still be coming up soon

The world’s just spinning
A little too fast
If things don’t slow down soon we might not last.
So just for the moment, let’s be still.

12 Best Songs Used In Coen Brothers Movies. Full Playlist!

By chrome January 21, 2014

The Cohen Brothers are know for being maybe the most celebrated moviemakers in the world today, just look at their resumee. It’s hard to even find someone who comes close. Everybodys favourite movie list seems to include at least one Cohen Brothers movie and besides releasing some of the best movies for the past two decades, they are the grandmasters when it comes to using music in movies. Maybe only matched by Tarantino, but their approach and effect is a completely different one. They have a wide selection of outstanding musical moments in their body of work and even a few where the lack of music adds to the atmosphere created (think No Country For Old Men).

Their most recent release “Inside Llewyn Davis” is even about a young singer who tries to make it in the folk/singer scene in the early 60ies with way too many good songs to pick from for this list.

So here’s a playlist with what we, after a hefty debate with our artsy artschool friends, decided were the most outstanding musical moments in Coen Brothers movies. Here is the rundown: The Top 12 Songs Used In Coen Brothers Movies:

12. Frank Patterson “Danny Boy” | Miller’s Crossing
11. Four Tops “It’s The Same Old Thing” | Blood Simple
10. Jose Feliciano “Let’s Find Each Other Tonight” | Fargo
9. Gypsy Kings “Hotel California” | The Big Lebowski
8. The Fugs “CIA Man” | Burn After Reading
7. Alison Krauss “Down By The River” | Oh Brother Where Art Thou
6. Carter Burwell “Way Out There” | Raising Arizona
5. Nancy Sinatra “These Boots Are Made For Walking” | Fargo
4. Kenny Rogers ” Just Dropped In” | The Big Lebowski
3. Jefferson Airplane “Somebody To Love” | A Serious Man
2. Bob Dylan “The Man In Me” |The Big Lebowski
1. Soggy Bottom Boys “Man Of Constant Sorrow” |Oh Brother Where Art Thou

And here is the full playlist:

Let The Lumineers Shine Some Acoustic Light Into Your Winter-Weary Ears

By Coco January 20, 2014

Step 1: Winter sucks. Step 2: Heartfelt acoustic songs make everything better:

This is a great acoustic version of an 80ies classic by the phenomenal Talking Heads. Must be one of the best cover versions that i have heard all winter. The Lumineers are always on point. Enjoy: The Lumineers – This Must Be The Place (Naïve Melody)

Home – is where i want to be
But i guess i’m already there
I come home – -she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can’t tell one from another
Did i find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where i’ll be . . . where i’ll be

This Broken Bells Song Will Send You Through Space And Time, So Hold On To Your Life!

By chrome January 20, 2014

This new tune by the Broken Bells could have easily been released in the 80ies. It’s that strong of an anthem(ic) pop tune. Broken bells deliver each and every time and they know how to sprinkle the most diverse of magic powders with their music. I can’t get enough of this 80ies vibe ;) . This could have been in the remastered version of Rocky III, shortly before Eye Of The Tiger starts, right before Rocco gets on his bike and rides through the night streets of Philadelphia. Or it would have been a strong addition to the already incredible Drive OST.

My 80ies mind is going into hypermode! I can literally see the 80ies video to this song with Kelly LeBrock and Don Johnson driving through Miami’s neon lit roads at nightt, in an alternate timeline where Weird Science met Miami Vice. Ps is that a Theremin i hear at the start of the song? Man, i love this tune! This Broken Bells song will send you through space and time, so hold on to your life!
