She's back!

After a very very long break from the world of music blogging, I AM BACK!
I am sure all none of you are very excited.
The reason for my return however, was the discovery of what I will be sharing with you today, how long I will keep it up though is another story all together.



Entrepreneurs

I randomly stumbled upon this complete and utter musical genius a week ago whilst perusing some some blogs to add the finishing touches to my electro based summer soundtrack. After downloading the 'Uv been robbed (Joking, but not)' EP, I must have racked up well over 150 listens. The highlight for me is definitely 'Bubblegunk' so get that if you don't fancy the whole lot.
Now, I don't want to ruin the suprise for you, but have a listen and see if you notice why the title of the EP is as it is.
Rather embarassingly, it took me 15 listens of the whole 5 track EP to figure it out, you may notice straight away, but I've given you a heads up and I'm clearly backward so that's my excuse.

The EP is available for download from HERE for free, or for however much you wish to pay.
Or check it out here first.

You will not be disappointed by this synth filled piece of pure ecstasy (yes, it really is that good!) so get your bloody download on now kids!

And the prize for Most Half-Arsed Blogger of the Year goes to...

ME.

Definitely.


However, this is all set to change now I finally have a fully functioning computer!



Butterflies On Strings


Butterflies on Strings
are a Basingstoke based 4 piece who dabble in what can only be described as 'poppy electronic indie'. An my god, it's great.
I only came across these boys thanks to a remix the ever wonderful Frankmusik did of their song 'Thomas Is My Friend'.
They are definitely worth checking out, I've been caning them on the old iPod for the last 2 months, so they must be good!

Anyway, here is 'Thomas Is My Friend', enjoy!


P.S I apologise that its on ZShare, but my Fileden is playing up for some reason!

'E Wuz Robbed!



I dont really need to enlighten anyone on the 'political' voting of the Eurovision Song Contest, because everybody already knows how it works, and that nobody ever votes for England anymore, apart from San Marino [thank you].

To be honest, you have to applaud Andy Abrahams, the contestant flying the flag for the English this year, as he did give us our best Eurovision song for years. A measly 14 points clearly did not reflect his efforts.

But its expected right?

For me, the best song of the evening was from France's Sébastien Tellier, an already well known artist, with song Divine. I think I was probably taken with this right from the beginning when he drove onto the stage in a golf cart. The whole thing seemed like a bit of a joke to me, but it certainly didnt disappiont.

Enjoy!




Oh and if anyone can tell me what the hell Bosnia & Herzegovina's entry was all about then I would be very appreciative, how that got more points than our binman Andy I do not know...

Catch 22


[Far right...when hes of legal age he is gonna look like the more attractive version of Luke Pritchard..]

Lo-Fi Culture Scene are a group of 5 13/14 year old boys from North London, oh no i hear you scream, another boring bunch of kids who wanna be like Arctic Monkeys; fear not, these lot are great.
Its quite hard for me to make a coherent post as i am listening to them this very second, and far too many adjectives are flying into my brain space at once.
Basically, they make great music that you will listen to over and over again and know the words to every song within two days.
I just cant believe how young they are, they leave no clues, not vocally or instrumentally, and they certainly make music better than bands of twice their age!

To be honest, if i was that talented at their age, i would be a very happy chappy.

Well it has been a while..

So, nearly three months since my last post. Thats quite a lot of time and quite a lot of procrastination; this of course is irrelevant as nobody reads this blog, but it makes me feel better to write this and explain myself.

Three months is a long time, therefore allowing me to accumulate a load of goodies for your ears.

I am happy to say, Ear Bait is back on track, with some tracks for yoooou.

I have decided not to go for all new music, just music that catches my attention and that needs to be shared, OK, it will probably all end up new but whatever, the post after this isn't so there.

[OK, its clear I have gone mad.]

Firstly, I am gonna have to post my drafts, I have about 50 million that haven't yet been published so I suppose I can get that job out of the way first....

Take me far away.

motorway

This song reminds me of being in a car, in the early hours of the morning, on a deserted motorway coming back from a holiday.

It is by Zoot Woman, a London Based electro band, and it is called We Wont Break.

Enjoy.

Hugo come back..



The Tellers
This song is completely 100% one of my favourites of this year already. I know its not particularly new, coming from around September last year I think, but I really do think everybody needs to give it a listen and get themselves with the artists that are The Tellers.
The Tellers are a considerably young duet from Belgium signed to 62 TV records. They make catchy indie pop which can be listened to on their debut album 'Hands full of Ink' which is out now. Go buy it. Its worth.
The song I will posting goes by the name of 'Hugo' and it really is nothing but catchy. After one listen i was hooked, and I honestly haven't stopped singing it! It even gets the honour of being my Myspace profile song. Lucky eh?
Anyway. Enough rambling and more listening!

Enjoy!
