INTERVIEW: Husband
Ever since ITYLTS listened to Husband’s Ordinary, no exaggeration but that EP has been played repeatedly. Instantly hooked to the lyrics, the delivery, the style and the music. Needless to say, very excited about this project of Michael Paolino, who has played in bands such as Carl Fox and Luna Parade. ITYLTS caught up with Michael and picked his brains about the style of Husband, his...

Remix Baby: Matt and Kim "Daylight (Stic Man Ra...
ITYLTS love a good Matt & Kim remix, nearly as much as we love the original stuff. Here’s an awesome remix of Daylight by Stic Man Ra (of Dead Prez) who’s added a few lead guitars here and there in the chorus, a few claps and some other lovely things.

This is the second time that JVMcM (What a bitchin’ acronym) has been featured in disCOVER, the first time being his cover of Willow Smith’s Whip My Hair, but here is a cover more up JVMcM’s street, a beautiful version of Chris Isaak’s 90s smash Wicked Games (the acronyms growing on you, right).

What has The Weeknd been up to since he dropped the fantastic Thursday? Hanging with Drake and remixing some Florence, standard. So here’s The Weeknd’s remix of Florence & The Machine’s Shake It Out, its a fusion of all things great about these two artists.

Remix Baby: Foster The People "Pumped Up Kicks...
Here’s another Pumped Up Kicks remix to add to the growing collection. Bridge & Law, or Toronto’s Lucas Ranalli, is only 18 years old and making some SERIOUS noise on the remix scene. There have been so many remixes of Pumped Up Kicks already, but this Bridge & Law remix adds some synth solos in there to freshen this one up.

Bombay Bicycle Club: "Lights Out, Words Gone"
Bombay Bicycle Club is one of those bands that are always mentioned but never been in the ears. Today, however, things changed and I heard Lights Out Words Gone. Their new album A Different Kind Of Fix seems to be getting a lot more mainstream play, starting with the lead single from it Shuffle. They’ve kept up the momentum with the chill wave esque Lights Out Words Gone, right from the...

Been pretty excited about this remix since Star Slinger mentioned it maybe about a month ago, and finally its dropped! Body Language’s You Can gets the Star Slinger treatment and its once again great. You Can is already a pretty laid back cool track, Star Slinger ups the coolness, throws in some synths, some breaks and a club beat making it perfect for the weekend. Hello this weekend, meet...

E-Dubble: "Life Coach"
My man E-Dubble has hit us up with another great track, Life Coach. Premiered over on Pigeons And Planes last week, Life Coach samples Herb Dub - Collie Dub by The Skatalites. If you’ve liked whats been posted before on E-Dubs, you’ll like this. And if you’ve never heard anything before, you’ll probably like this.

Zulu Winter: "Silver Tongue"
Went to see Clock Opera last night who were brilliant. Their support act Zulu Winter were pretty fantastic also. In some ways you can hear some Cut Copy in there in Silver Tongue, see what you make of it. It’s all pretty good. (Never Leave is also very good)

Elvyn: "The Decline"
There’s a post on Elvyn a whiles back, but it could have been lost in the opening weeks of this blog. So here’s something again on Elvyn’s The Decline. This track, from the album of the same name, is plain old fantastic rock music. It sounds as if it could come from the days of Blue Oyster Cult and the like, so you know its good. If you click on the lovely button...

Husband: "Ordinary"
Michael Paolino is Husband, stories filled with gritty epic indie/rock. If you like the sound of The National, then Husband has to be something you check out. It’s really very very good. Ordinary is full of great melodies, heart, emotion and good old fashioned music. His debut EP Husband is out now, get it here (there are some really FANTASTIC tracks on this).

Marcus Foster: "I Was Broken"
Discovered by Ben Lovett of Mumford & Son, Marcus Foster is starting to make a name for himself, partly because the video for his forthcoming single I Was Broken from the debut Nameless Paths features one Kristen Stewart. I Was Broken is a beautiful piece of music that climbs with Foster’s delivery into something kind of epic. The album Nameless Path is out soon.

Josh Kumra: "Don't Go (Acoustic Version)"
You might recognise Josh Kumra from Wretch 32’s latest single Don’t Go. Kumra’s lazy but heartfelt hook is arguably the best part of the song so here’s the acoustic version of Don’t Go sans Wretch 32. Kumra could be on the verge of blowing up big, so watch this space.

Olympic Ayres: "Daylight"
Been meaning to post on this Aussie duo for a while now, but hey ho here it is. These two aussie producers are from Sydney and recorded their EP in an attic. Its homegrown electro pop, and just like everything else that seems to come from down under these days, its pretty good. You can download their EP for free that Daylight is featured on right here

Calvin Harris: "Feel So Close"
Having to listen to ‘mainstream’ radio all day at work means that certain songs are drummed into you and you end up liking things you never thought you could. And then sometimes they actually get it right and play a good song, it happened with Emeli Sande’s Heaven and now its happened again with the new one from Calvin Harris Feel So Close (download from itunes here). Its...

The Kooks ruled the summer of 2006 with Naive. Now they’re back with a new single Is It Me and today they were in Radio 1’s Live Lounge to perform it and as per usual a cover. They chose to do Foster The People’s Pumped Up Kicks. Now if you’ve visited this site before, you’ll know that there’s a lot of love for FTP so the cover had to be good (for another...

Loving Leona Lewis’ new single Collide, that Avicii sample (that was the root of all the legal troubles this song has faced) is really beautiful. Here’s a remix by Alex Gaudino and Jason Rooney. Perfect to wind down summer too. (though really it pretty much up and left mid august here)

Summer Camp: "Ghost Train"
Posted on Summer Camp about a month ago with Better Off Without You which was some great 80s inspired pop (beginning reminds us of Footloose). Now this time its all about Ghost Train which has admittedly been kicking around for at least a year, but still its very good.

Been meaning to post on this cover since she did it at iTunes festival back in July. But here it is finally, Adele’s cover of the classic I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. If you’re not familiar with the original, you might be with Justin Vernon’s (of Bon Iver) heartbreaking cover. Adele does this as much justice as Vernon did, pretty torn between which one is...

Yes that’s right, Kasabian and LL Cool J are on a track together. That happened. These Leicestershire lads meet Ladies Love Cool James and its awesome. The mix is by DJ Z-Trip and they’ve managed to snag the hip hop veteran for a cameo.

When Saints Go Machine: "Kelly"
First off, absolutely love the name of this band. Right and here’s the second thing, this track Kelly is rather good. This Danish group hit the spot with minimalist 80s esque track. Also, here’s a remix of it by DISCOFORGIA which is rather nice too.

Here is Bon Iver (Justin Vernon) playing an acoustic set at World Cafe, including Holocene, Beach Baby and the controversial Beth/Rest. Have a little looksee here. And here is the stripped down version of Beth/Rest so for all those on the fence about this maybe this will push you over to the side that say this is totally awesome.

Tokyo Police Club are doing ten covers in ten days from the last ten years of music. They have smashed this cover of this classic LCD Soundsystem track All My Friends. Its pretty faithful but turns it from its electro goodness into indie-rock goodness. Its great.

We don’t know much else about this band but they’ve done this great cover of The Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby. When I used to watch Yellow Submarine (I can no longer as it scared the bejeebus out of me, no idea why) this song always used to freak me out a little, especially the lyrics. But in my wiser years I have grown to love and appreciate this Beatles classic. The cover is part...
