by Bruno Gianni Hello there, first of all i would like to thank all the support, comments and suggestions we are receiving in these first days of our platform. Then to characterize this post, I would like to recommend to all music lovers out there this pretty amazing website/music service, or whatever you wanna call it... 8tracks... This handcrafted internet radio, as they call themselves, has been responsible lately for introducing to me a lot of great songs and, mainly, a lot of great bands... How does it work? Yes, users create their own playlists/mixes so then others can listen to it... Well, nothing new there, right!... The thing is that it is so user friendly, neat and good looking that really catches the attention... at least got mine... And there are really good mixes, which makes it even better!! It is definitely a must check website. And it will probably help me out in a lot of posts here, so whenever I find a mix worth sharing I will definitely post it here or in our facebook page. And obviously, if you also find a good one, let us know... So, check it out, and enjoy this great mix to inaugurate.
About the mix... "34 different Indie songs to be played out loud, with friends or alone. Aww yeee. Music from Foster the People, Young the Giant, Mumford and Sons, Two Door Cinema Club and more. " (8tracks user: sonalxm)

by Luigi Gianni Have you ever heard about 'em? The band, (for some reason) named after a Britain Indian food chain, was the winner of Channel's 4 "Road to V" competition on 2006. In fact, when they won, all of the four members of the band hadn't even graduated from high school yet. The next year NME called them "the hottest band to come from North London for quite some time". But still after three realeased albums and various (sold out) concerts in Great Britain - and a few other places - they're still unknown around the world. The good part is we can still call them indie... Even so, their first album, "I had the blues but I shook them loose", was one of the best to come out of the old continent in quite some time. Laura Snapes from NME put it well... "If you’re over the age of 18, consider ‘I Had The Blues…’ your invitation back to the heady rush of teenaged rapture... And the rest of you, stay drunk on its certain romance while you still can." There's nothing you've never seen before... But still, they're just pretty damn good.... by Luigi and Bruno Gianni This is our first post... We've been working on this idea for a couple of weeks, and we honestly hope that everybody can somehow enjoy our (weird) taste of music. About the name... TV on the Radio is one of our favorite bands, and you'll definetely hear about them quite often... About the panda... It was pretty random. And about everything else... We are five Engineering students, four from Brazil and one from Germany. But as different as we can be from one another, we combine on the that fact that we unconditionally love music. Finally, the most important... For the first post, quite obviously, a song from one of the bands that inspired all of this... |
