Dub Pistols – Back To Daylight
Dub Pistols are gearing up to release their new album titled Rum & Coke and the first official track to surface is Back To Daylight.
The song features Ashley Slater whose voice provides some easy listening goodness.
Can’t wait to hear this in the open air warmth (fingers crossed) of a festival -- surely the DP trumpets and saxophones will make themselves known on this song if performed live.
Just got the video for you -- so watch and enjoy
Trumpets at the ready…
Have you seen Smokin’ Aces?
Bit of a silly film but hearing this OutKast oldie made the 2 hours somewhat worthwhile.
Alicia Keys, who looks incredible, is sitting with two other ladies in a Diner and the background music is indistinguishable however it’s not listed in the musical credits either so it drove me insane for a day or two whilst I was trying to find it.
Found it.
It’s just a classic – the trumpets of this song slide in like melted butter and we hear Andre 3000 at his poetic best.
OutKast – SpottieOttieDopaliscious
It’s been a while since The Love Below and Speakerboxxx albums- I think it’s fair to say we’re all ready for some more creative goodness from OutKast.
Taste that Memphis Soul Stew!
“We sell so much of this people wonder what we put in it”
There’s something about old microphones and how voices just cut through the air with them. You don’t get such a sound anymore however hard people try.
King Curtis orchestrates this culinary musical delight and the band are tight, there’s no doubt about that. Would have been an honour to have heard this one live as Curtis goes from musician to musician like their ingredients.

Oh and look closely at the young left-handed guitarist on the right of the picture – guessed who it is yet?? Put these people out of their misery and add a comment if you know!
Now we’re going add a bit of spice to Curtis’ stew.

Fink is ready to ‘See It All’
OK so evidently Fink is one of this blogs favourite artists and if there’s anything new on the man we’re going to post it.
His new album, Sort of Revolution, is scheduled for release in late May but we have a track from the album.
See It All is the first track we’ve got the from the new album and the piano is certainly a newly introduced instrument and it works perfectly. He’s captured his trip to NY in just over 5 minutes which might relate to when he supported REM at Carnegie Hall.

Fink – Pills In My Pocket
As Glastonbury draws closer by the day I thought I’d post up an amazing song by Folk/Dub/Blues man Fink.
The track is about his trip to Glasto in 2000 and it doesn’t sound like the best time but there is a happy ending. I’ve attached the lyrics at the bottom because I really enjoyed the story.
One of our first posts was about the demo up on his MySpace from his new album expected to drop in May – but this track is from his first album Biscuits For Breakfast.
Hopefully he’ll be playing a stage at Glasto this year – I’ll post up who we’re going to be seeing at Glasto when the lineup is revealed (definitely be avoiding Bruce Springsteen at all costs).

Fink – Little Blue Mailbox
Just checked out his MySpace again and there is another new track up called See It All!
