#124 Evolution through Revolution

There are some great news on the horizon! It's been more than a year since I started the blog and don't get me wrong - I am still loving it, but I would finally be able to take the idea to a whole new level. So we - a bunch of international music geeks with various and most importantly - useful skills, will be working on creating a fresh hot spot to transmit and spread cool music. From graphic designers and web developers to business kids, all united by the passion for music. 

Honestly, I am so thrilled that this project would transform into something much more professional, better looking and most importantly - valuable to the reader. We would cover a vast range of music styles and will introduce a great number of upcoming artists, but I guess its a bit early to reveal all the spicy details behind the development. However, despite that it would take a while until the website is fully developed, you will definitely hear a lot about it before the initial launch as we start our marketing campaign and promotion activities. And to keep things in the spirit of the blog, I would like to share a very catchy and fresh hip hop track I came across today. Do not hesitate and hit the download button on the right!

#123 This town needs guns

I would describe the process of collecting stock exchange listing information for about 400 companies as everything but fun. Unfortunately (for me) that is how I spend my summer days so far, even though summer in the Netherlands is quite an abstract term.

Anyhow, the point of the short introduction was to lead to the essence of today's post. In order to keep myself NOT bored to death I've been listening an album from This Town Needs Guns (you gotta love the name of those fellas) - Animals. If I'm correct there you might be able to find their name somewhere in the blog, but my first encounter with that album was just a week ago and I'm totally digging it!

Personally, I love the artwork and the concept of naming all the songs after the animals you see in the picture (some of which I heard for first time, yeah didn't do my homework back in the days). Ok, I talked enough so let's just cut to the chase. Basically, my personal opinion of the album is quite positiveso if you have some time to waste - just dive in! My favourite "animals" are - the Pig, the Lemur, the Rabbit, the Crocodile and the Badger.

Enjoy!
