a change is gonna come

By chrome October 2, 2011

…matter of fact we are full scale in the midst of a noticeable global change. like the taoists teachings say: the change is ongoing. get used to it, and thats thats how every species survived or evolved so far. this is what we wrote about change on chromemusic earlier this year. ps. i found this interesting website a few months back – World at Protest

here is a song by three of my all time favourite artist that always remind me to appreciate change

some tunes for your playlist on your Xmas Xbox

By chrome December 15, 2009

i played all these tunes last saturday @ YUM YUM Berlin – full review coming soon. but seriously – just three quick tunes that you shouldnt miss out on, and you can add to your playlists, for those christmas days when you finally get a rest from all the crap and can kick back with some weed, a new video game or a good book. i’m going for all three of these plus some booze.

A Twelves mix of Yelle – can’t go wrong with that:

Yelle_”CeJeu “( the Twelves Remix)

Another soul classic get the no-brainer retreat by our man Maxey from Barcelona, not too lessen the mix – useful catch for all the soul lovers, espec since it samples the Sam Cooke live version (@Maxey useful Gem bro):

Cupid (Maxey & Fred Spider Edit)

And of course anything discoesque (is that a word?) with a Passion Pit sample goes, somewhat tired of Disco these days, but hey a good tunes a good tune and this is a fine mix by my favourites Hey Champ – these guys always deliver the goods (ps @Hey Champ – you should have seen the crowd reaction last time i dropped this):

Fidelity and Summertime

By chrome January 26, 2009

While on the road or in the sun for four months last year, and actually even longer if i count all the many weeks travelling in between and coming back here, there were a couple of songs which i kept on listening to on repeat. Since i feel my insides longing to live in another place, with it being so cold and dark here, these tracks come back to mind and are a steady companion at all times.

One was Regina Spektors – Fidelity.

heres the audio version: fidelity_regina spektor

[audio:http://www.chromemusic.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/01-fidelity.mp3]

the other one was: sam-cooke-summertime . i had this song on my headphones till all of south-east-asia got tired of hearing it.

[audio:http://www.chromemusic.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/sam-cooke-02-summertime-pt-1.mp3]

2 old sayings comes to mind when i hear these songs:

“The cave you fear to enter, holds the treasure you seek.” & “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
