Music – Tank – She’s Gone
Wednesday, 8 July 2009

Yes I know, another music post. This one comes simply to test Imeem’s embeddable player which I had only used once before on selectiveapathy.com. It is a bit slow to load but it seems to be one of the few players which I can’t find the embedded audio source to download. I had been worrying about that lately as the it is easy to find the source audio file using the player I am using just now…which may be regarded as illegal.

The song is called She’s Gone. There are several versions of this song from different artists but Tank’s is the first version I heard back in 2007 and I think is the best.

Tank is a great singer with a very captivating voice. Sadly I have not heard anything new from him for a long time, although he does make some appearance, the latest being on Ginuwine’s A Man’s Thoughts.

So have a listen on imeem’s player, please bear with it if its slow to load and tell me if you manage to find the source and download the song. Sorry the player has ‘adverts’ attached to it, damn I meant to keep selectiveapathy.com free of those. Ah well, we’ll see how it bears up.

Edit- Damn, right after I posted this I was able to download the song from here. It looks like the download thing only doesn't work when its on the actual imeem site. At least the imeem player gives links to the legal download sites.

This still worries me but I have researched this and it seems at the moment it is impossible to restrict folk from downloading streaming media. Well I guess I shall keep on posting music I like untill I get complaints, then I will have to settle to linking to other sites rather than embedding.

Shes Gone - Tank

Music: Gentleman – Changes and Marit Larsen – If a Song could get me You
Saturday, 20 June 2009

This is completely different from the kind of music I usually post, but who says that it’s cool to only like one kind of music.

Being in Germany, I am being exposed to many different styles, most with a more European feel although most of the Music on the German radio stations I listen to are of American or British origin. I have bought pretty much the whole of Gentleman’s discography while here. I was actually introduced to his music by a German Exchange student some years back when his album Confidence was big over here. I have heard a few songs from his newest album on the radio, he has a distinct sound. The song “Changes” which you can hear at the moment on his website is likely from a new album and is great, with the sound and feeling I loved from Confidence. One more thing, yes I am aware he is white and German and that does not sound like a likely candidate for this kind of music but he has big recognition in Kingston and a single listen to any of his songs will show you why. You can also have a listen here. Oh the song is about 3.5 minutes long. There is a problem with the file’s ID3 tag and the player will song that it is anywhere from 8 minutes to 11 minutes long.

 

 Marit Larsen with If a Song could get me You is a great uplifting number which has the ability to put a smile on your face at  anytime. I actually heard this during an advert for a shoe shop on TV here. The great thing about the adverts on most German TV channels is that they actively tell you what the background music is which saves you searching for it when you hear something good. If a Song could get me You is the first single from her 2008 album The Chase. The single was released in August 2008 and both it and the album were at the Number 1 position in Norway. However I had never heard of her before now, in the UK or online. If a Song could get me you has more of a pop/folk feel to it. The great lyrics and upbeat tempo makes it instantly likeable and you can’t help singing along or simply tapping your feet.
