Excellent rock music. Just appreciate!

Band biography

The Dandy Warhols are a psychedelic pop/rock band formed in Portland, Oregon by Courtney Taylor-Taylor (vocals & guitar), Zia McCabe (Synthesizer), Peter Loew (guitarist), and Eric Hedford (drums). When Hedford left in 1999, Taylor-Taylor’s cousin Brent De Boer replaced him as drummer, where he has remained since. The band’s name is a play on the name of pop artist Andy Warhol.

The Dandy Warhols are strongly influenced by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stones as well as including implicit musical references to Jethro Tull and My Bloody Valentine in some songs. Frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor describes the band beginning as a group of friends who “needed music to drink to.” The band performed live shows in bars throughout Portland and released their first album, “Dandys Rule Ok?” in 1995. This album was largely ignored but is cited as influential in Capitol Records’ decision to sign the band. Many Dandy Warhols fans claim that this album contains some of the band’s best material, tending to single out the energetic “lou weed,” the melodically complex “PlayDick” (possibly the closest to shoegaze the Dandy Warhols have gotten), and the 16-minute jam session “It’s a Fast-Driving Rave Up With the Dandy Warhols 16 Minutes”, which features both a prelude and a finale.

Koop - Waltz for koop

Personal comments

I discovered Koop 5 years ago with the song Waltz for Koop, a really beautiful song and if you appriciate this song just listen to Come To Me, you will fall in love of Koop songs.
While searching info about them on the Internet, I learned that they also provided music for the TV Show: Grey’s Anatomy.

Band biography

Koop is the Swedish electronic jazz duo of Magnus Zingmark and Oscar Simonsson from Uppsala, Sweden, formed in 1995. Though the music may sound as if it is played by a tight jazz group, it is actually sample-based. Thousands of small clips of drums, strings, horns, and choirs are taken from old records and puzzled together into new songs. This time consuming production process is one of the reasons Koop’s albums are released 4-5 years apart.

The group’s 3 albums all feature guest vocalists. On their latest, “Koop Islands”, the singers are Yukimi Nagano, Ane Brun, Hilde Louise Asbjornsen, Rob Gallagher and Mikael Sundin. Also contributing to the percussion, solos, and bass are Mattias Ståhl, Magnus Lindgren, Karl Frid, Nils Berg, Martin Höper, Ola Bothzén, Dan Berglund and Mats Lindfors.

Live, Koop transforms into a 7-9 piece swing orchestra including 1-3 singers. The lineup varies from time to time.

Koop prefers to label their music “romantic swingtronica”.

Robbie Williams - Rock DJ

Robbie Williams - Rock DJ

Personal comments

Did you know Robbie Williams was a member of a boys band (Take that)? :) Whatever, Robbie Williams took music really seriously and did many successful songs. Famous in 1999 and 2000 I had one of the first MD (MiniDisc) provided from an artist (or major… you choose.)

Band biography

While Williams’ early pop career started with the hit boy band Take That, he has found far greater success since taking his leave. The band was formed in 1990 and had 8 United Kingdom Number 1 singles to their credit. Their popularity led to a succession of similar bands in the United Kingdom.

However, it has since been suggested that Williams’ roguish qualities meant that he didn’t fit into the band, and he frequently battled with his fellow band members and his management. After leaving the band in 1995, the final Take That album Nobody Else was re-issued in some markets excluding songs where Robbie Williams was the lead vocalist. The final Take That single, “How Deep Is Your Love,” is the only one that didn’t feature Williams.

In November 2005, ITV1 screened a documentary on Take That, including the reasons behind Williams’ departure, including interviews with Williams and his former fellow band members. Williams declined the offer to reunite with the band, but spoke to them via a pre-recorded video message.

Take That, reformed without Williams and due to tour in early- to mid- 2006, have extended an open invitation for Williams to join them on stage if he wishes to. Williams has apparently given the reformation his blessing.

After Take That

After leaving Take That, Williams immersed himself in the pop lifestyle. This included an affected swagger and an infamous appearance during Oasis’s headlining set at Glastonbury in 1995. He had dyed his hair platinum blond and painted his teeth black for the concert. Liam Gallagher, the lead singer for Oasis, often referred to Williams as “that fat dancer from Take That.”
