The Saturday Mix #11 - i know that someday we'll surely find it




Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek (Cover by some random girl on youtube)
pretty neat take on the song, in fact I wonder if Imogen Heap actually did an acoustic version of this song, it'd be awesome.

Frou Frou - Let Go
Imogen Heap is one half of Frou Frou, and Guy Sigsworth makes up the other half. They released only one album together, which is Details, from where this song comes from. However, I can't find a Frou Frou version of the song, and could only settle for a piano version Imogen Heap herself did.

Pardon the sudden influx of house music. But this is for songs I like right? Haha!

Kaskade - 4 AM

let's have them parades and bring the house down



Foals - Olympic Airways

Foals - Cassius
It's nice how these guys actually stand up for each other. Foals vocalist, Yannis Philippakis along with of his own band members and that of Kaiser Chiefs, broke up an alleged attack on Bloc Party's vocalist Kele Okereke. In music, there should be no such thing as racism. Music is music, and it's love for all.

Bloc Party - One Month Off

The Republic Tigers - Buildings and Mountains
Their myspace site. Click on the song and play. really lovely song, nice tempo and good voice.

of love and heartbreak. loss and redemption. hope and despair.

Finished "Will You Be There?" by Guillaume Musso. It's similar to The Time Traveler's Wife in that this also uses time travel as a plot tool. While not as page turning as TTTW, it is a simple and lovely story in it's own right that I quite loved. Also, finished When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro. A love story subtly woven into one set in the forties, where crime reared it's ugly forehead and a detective takes centrestage in this novel. His unique narration as provided by the main character takes some time getting used to, after which it provides a new perspective. However, plot is quite loose in my opinion, but nevertheless, I thought the character development of the protaganist was well fleshed out.

Au Revoir Simone - Dark Halls

Anberlin - Retrace

YACHT - Summer Song
