Song #6 of the 2009 Galvanized Music Countdown

publicimageSong six on the countdown was released 30 years ago but thanks to YouTube, this year I experienced the song in a new way. I used to listen to PiL on my walkman and I always felt energized. Sometimes I even danced around when I heard it. But it never occurred to me that groups of young people would be going wild about it on American Banstand. John Lydon sure did know how to activate a crowd and watching him in action makes it worth bringing this song out of the vault. itunes_iconBuy Careering by Public Image Limited on iTunes.

Song #8 of the 2009 Galvanized Music Countdown

Between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve I will post my top eight favorite songs of the year. These tunes were selected from the 51 songs of the week that were submitted by Michael Zampelli during 2009. Song number eight is Fight Riff by Eula. I like DIY feel of the video, reminiscent of the Clash and other artists from London who used the desert or an industrial wasteland as their set. Singer Elyse exudes an artistic flair with punk rock edge. It's a fun song with a strong beat and great to have on my iPod and listen to while I'm out for a walk. I recommend purchasing the entire Language of Threat EP. In the meantime, you can see the YouTube video here. Happy Holidays Apple iTunes

Power of The Almighty Defenders

Is it a coincidence that I bought The Almighty Defenders album on Halloween and now it's haunting me? : :

The Almighty Defenders - Cone Of Light from The Pool Parties on Vimeo.

The Almighty Defenders strike me as a rockabilly gospel band. They dress in gospel choir robes on stage and have an eclectic Elvis, meets bar band, meets Motown sound. I discovered them while listening to XMU. Each time they played Cone of Light, I found myself looking down at the satellite receiver to catch the name of the artist and track. I did this enough times that it finally stuck. I came home, looked them up on iTunes and knew I would not be satisfied until I owned this entire album and could play it whenever and wherever I wanted. itunes_iconCheck out The Almightly Defenders on iTunes.
