My second iMix is up on the iTunes store for your downloading pleasure. It features tracks and artists that I've been blogging about lately (well, since the last iMix) and is typically all over the place style wise.
Check it out here, and as always comments, ratings and feedback are always welcome.
If you don't use iTunes you can get it from the Apple website.
I was lucky enough to get tickets to a secret Tina Dico gig last night, held at the Electroacoustic Club at The Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell.
This is the third time I've seen Tina play live, and every time she's blown me away. The secret gig was essentially a testing ground for new material from her forthcoming album "Count To Ten", but there were some Tina classics thrown in there for good measure too. She played for the best part of an hour, totally acoustically apart from one track which she had some backing on. She also did some looping on a couple of songs which sounded great hearing her stack up her own vocals.
The new material is sounding amazing, especially the title track from the new album. I was disappointed not to hear "Break Of Day" (my favourite Tina song by a long way), but we were treated to "Warm Sand", "Back Where We Started", two songs from the "A Beginning" tour EP, and a gorgeous version of "In The Red".
I for one can't wait to hear the new album, which this week entered the charts in her native Denmark at number one. Unfortunately the rest of us have to wait until next February for the UK release.
Tina also mentioned that next March she'll be playing a gig at Union Chapel so keep an eye out for that. That's one not to be missed!
Email me at lmpneil@googlemail.com if you like. It's always nice to hear from people.
If you're a band/artist/DJ that would like me to check out their music with a view to including it on my blog, just get in touch.
I usually try to post youtube videos rather than direct links to download MP3's. However, when necessary I'll post up snippets of tracks for people to download. If you would like an MP3 removed from this blog, please contact me and I'll take it down.
