A big old update this week so just a few words on these little gems.
Lucy Rose - Middle Of The Bed
I spoke in last week's post of simplicist beauty of singer songwriters. Now we have another. Lucy Rose is best buds with Bombay Bicycle Club and has often been seen on stage with them and providing backing on several tracks. Now she's off on her own. Good decision.
Feist - How Come You Never Go There
Speaking of talented female songwriters, it's the sultry sounds of Feist. After 4 long years since the incredible The Reminder, she is back.
Canterbury - More Than You Know
A massive fan of Canterbury, their debut album Thank You, is one hell of a debut. But, at last new material. Everyone may not be liking the 'new sound', but this band have got what it takes to sit up alongside Kids In Glass Houses and You Me At Six.
You Me At Six - Loverboy
Speaking of YMA6, it's their new track Loverboy. It's sometimes difficult to like a band you used to love as a teenager, when their fanbase is now screaming 14 year olds, but YMA6 have always stuck to what they do best. British pop-rock at it's best.
Tom Vek - Aroused
Yeah I know this has been out a little while now, but for some reason I've had this on repeat all week. Love the absurdity and bizarreness of the whole thing.
Lil Wayne - She Will (ft Drake)
In a week when Watch The Throne was released it's probably expected that every other rapper in the world should just be quiet and not even try to compete. But if anyone should try, it has to be Lil Wayne and Drake. I love the eery atmosphere to this track, got some trademark Drake beats in there.
Asher Roth - In The Kitchen
It's just Asher Roth doing what he does best. End.

Music Monday 18.
I'm back from New York (blog update to follow this one) and let's get things back to normal with a cheeky Music Monday. I know you've been missing it.
Canterbury - Calm Down
I saw Canterbury supporting Kids In Glass Houses (I think) a few years ago and instantly fell for their melodic pop-rocky sound. I love the way that the two lead singers' voices play off of each other and then together, they both have genuinely good voice, which is often rare for this genre of good music. They have just recently made it back into my iTunes recently played list in a big way and are now starting to get some radio play. It's always nice when a band you've listened to for a few years start making the strides that they deserve. Canterbury have got the quality and the sound that can give them main stream success, I just hope that they don't, dare I say it, sell-out in the way that KIGH or You Me At Six have done to some extent.
Plan B - The Recluse (Nero Remix)
Plan B has had huge success with this concept and deservedly so. Having been a fan of Plan B since his first album, I am interested to hear his new album, in which he has promised to go back to rapping over guitar, to hear the sound and the reception it gets. The Recluse is among my favourite tracks off of the album, and this Nero remix just gives the track much more power and energy.
And now what appears to be the weekly Kanye West section:
Kanye West - Devil In A New Dress
To me, this track is not as good as See Me Now, but it's up there. It's yet again proof that Kanye is heading back to his golden Dropout years sound, a sound that is such a pleasure to listen to and enjoy. Excited for the album is continuing to grow.
Kanye West - Monster (Ft, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver)
As huge as those first 4 names are in this line up, it's not a massive surprise to hear them working together. But then Bon Iver. BON IVER? I'm a huge fan of Bon Iver, but it's just crazy that he's supplied the beats for this song. I heard about them working together a while back, but for the track to be this aggressive and angry is a huge surprise. And it works, just. I think.
