My Amazing Blog Adventure!

Probably one of the worst headlines ever... it sounds like a corny low-budget teen flick. Ehm...
Well it's been a slow week on Getting Your Goat, mostly because I haven't had the time to post anything but also because I didn't have anything special to write about. But today I was reading Soundvenue.com's blog and that started a little blog adventure...


Marina & The Diamonds
Soundvenue.com had posted 2 songs with her (apparently us danes are bit slow), I downloaded them and was completely blown away, freaking amazing stuff! I mean seriously I really digg it. As always when I find new stuff I like, I research the internet for as much info about the band/person as possible and via Elbo.ws I stumbled upon the blog THE RECOMMENDER which had an interview with Marina
Q: "is there any new bands/acts/DJ’s that have caught your attention that you would like to recommend to us?"
A: "Giantess, Ellie Goulding"

"Ellie Goulding likes:
- Pretty girls.
- Bon Iver.... on my back, on my bed, looking up, not thinking about much.
- Fin's always like this remix
- people sending random mixtapes- KUDOS. message me for my email.
- Elly aka La Roux.
- nike joggers. God I could wear these every day.
- Remembering how good it was to hear "You've got the love" for the first time. Candi Staton rocks my speakers.
- Staying up till the wee hours of the morning and pretending there's no one else in the whole world awake apart from me/you.
- Running. I'm doing the marathon this year.
- Sitting on the floor with my back to the wall with my legs half under the bed, drinking earl grey. Alone. Sometimes while watching Nighty Night " You do look a bit rough Sue.. but then again that chest must be exhausting"
- my new blonde hair. I like being blonde. I've been brown/red/black. but not blonde. Photos soon.
- Writing with Sam. get cape wear cape fly. he's sound as.

Ellie Goulding dislikes:

- Lady Gaga

The Antlers - Hospice
Myspace / Buy

The Antlers - Epilogue (mp3)

The Antlers - Wake (mp3)






Peter Silberman on making the album "Hospice"
"It's an ambitious project. Were you ever overwhelmed by it? What made it manageable?
For this one I had to work for a very long time on it. I had lot of ideas and needed to filter out the ones I didn't want, and that took a lot longer than I expected. I pieced together sounds and made sense of them and it had to take a long time. I had to obsess over it, get it all out, and get everything exactly where it needed to be. I’m taking a writing break; I’m glad to do it. I worked straight through for a long time and kind of exhausted myself, figuring out what I wanted to do and putting together the album. Now I can sit with it."

The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love
Myspace / Buy

The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love 3 (revenge) (mp3)

The Decemberists - Won't Want For Love (Margaret In the Taiga) (mp3)




"it forms a perfect bridge between the old and the new, showing what the Decemberists are capable of, where they're capable of going and in the process reaffirms them as one of the most interesting bands of the decade."

Pomegranates - Everybody, Come Outside!
Myspace / Buy

Pomegranates - Corriander (mp3)

Pomegranates - Everybody, Come Outside! (mp3)





"the music on Everybody, Come Outside! is astonishingly catchy. The album is filled with descending cosmic guitar riffs ringing with reverb set against a great rhythm section and dreamy melodies"
Source: mog.com

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Myspace / Buy

Phoenix - 1901 (mp3)

Phoenix - Lisztomania (mp3)






""Fast and intense" is how Phoenix's lead singer Thomas Mars describes the band's next record. The Paris-based foursome are men of few words, or maybe few English words and more French ones. Either way, though they've just completed their followup to 2006's It's Never Been Like That, they're not giving away details in any language. But if the record is "fast and intense," then it sounds like it travels further down the same path as It's Never Been Like That, a rougher LP for a band whose discography was all rounded edges and glossy textures."

Brut - Art Brut vs. Satan
Myspace / Buy

Art Brut - The Passenger (mp3)

Art Brut - DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake (mp3)





"ultimately after we've been labelled pure hatred by Art Brut we should be fighting against them, yet this album is so deliciously tight, clean and compelling we simply cannot stop listening."Source:
thisisfakediy.com

Röyksopp - Junior
Myspace / Buy

Röyksopp feat. Lykke Li - Miss It So Much (mp3)

Röyksopp feat. Robyn - The Girl And The Robot (mp3)




"Making this new album was like mining in the mountains. When you think of a mine you think of one that is already many kilometres deep, and people work inside it. But sometimes one has to start a new mine, so you start digging the crust of the earth. And we had to find a good spot to start digging."
