Now Playing Magazine

‘Now Playing Magazine’ was formerly known as an printed magazine, focused on entertainment including movies, television, music etc. Nowadays you can find it here, in the world wide web, based in paris and focusing on new music from different genres. Visit the Blog over here. It’s not astonishing that they also have a bandcamp account, promoting artists with their new music. I picked my favourites to share it with all of you. It’s also possible to listen and download the whole 11-track album beneath. Enjoy !

Sly & The Family Stone – If You Want Me To Stay (Funk Ferret Edit)

First thing I read this morning was that Sly Stone got forced out of his home and now is living out of a white van in Los Angeles. Apperently Sly got tricked into a lets say disputable contract, leaving his manager with all control over  his finances. Grab the full story over here and keep your fingers crossed for this funk legend while listening to this nice edit of one of his classic tunes

Great Art Blog “Annina.fr” and so much, much more, by one of our very own yum yum cofounders

Fruits from annina roescheisen on Vimeo.

Annina who is one of my dearest friends and YUM YUM founders, (she was there right when it all started and actually was also responsible for a lot of input, for a lot of the styles and a lot of great ideas), who now lives in Paris for a few years has finally started her own blog – www.annina.fr– its about Contemporary & Modern Art, Exhibitions her music and all other things related. Coming from the heart of Paris, Annina is quite personal, honest and from deep within and thats just what a blog is supposed to be, i gave it a look for a few weeks before putting it online, cause i wanted to see if this was an ongoing endeavour, but hey – i am quite hooked, so here you go or voila > check out Anninas page and please make sure to check out her video section. Amazing material! The music posted is quite touching and so you can tell where she is coming from, and how this is a progress in each and every way. Her eyes are wide open – Welcome Cinderella!

If i was to do a music video for any of my music, Annina & her folks would be the only people i would ask. The quality is amazing and there is a definite unique feel to it and that feel is her own self, which she now no longer minds sharing with everyone. Lovely! Have fun with her site! You might learn something… but you will definitely have fun.

PS Please share this website and spread the word. Thank you all!!

W have spent so much time together and here is one of her favourite tunes and a YUM YUM classic (i think we used to listen to the instumental in some long nights). Just because you are who you are, we are reconsidering doing YUM YUM in Paris. Thank you

William Fitzsimmons – Passion Play

William Fitzsimmons – Passion Play

I had so many songs I wanted to put up.  First I wanted this then I realized that I always post melancholy music, so I considered posting a more upbeat hip-hop type song, but I haven’t heard any great new hip-hop songs lately.  Then I considered posting a song off my friend’s band’s new cd (Sing Me Insomnia), but then I realized that cd was in the top 100 on iTunes so they’re not really a band that needs press, plus they’re an almost powerpop band.  Then I considered posting a song that my friend and I recorded but that song was really pop-ish and I am not a huge fan of bloggers who post only their original material (despite the fact that my next post may be one of my originals).  So here is the great William Fitzsimmons singing his song Passion Play, incidentally, Mr. Fitzsimmons just released an amazing new cd entitled Gold In The Shadow, and I would strongly encourage all of you to go about purchasing it if you enjoy this song, or at least listen to his new cd.
