My Vote “Yes We Can” Video
Filed Under News & Info. | 4 Comments
I generally don’t get political here and I don’t really plan to sway the direction of the blog that way but tonight is a special night…The first election I voted in was the election of 2000…I had to do everything I could because I was so against Bush becoming our next President but unfortunately that was not the case and for the last 8 years I have been misrepresented!
Tomorrow I am voting in this country’s Super Tuesday primary elections and my vote will be for Barack Obama. My reasons behind my vote are simple, I want him to represent me and my country and I think he will be the best candidate to restore this nations wounds here and in the eye of the rest of the world.
I also wanted to share this very cool music video that Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas put together in support for Barack Obama.

Cat Power, Jukebox
Filed Under Album Picks | 14 Comments
Well as you can see I was asked to remove the tracks that I hand picked from Jukebox. So I will comply…The problem is the promo tracks that they have so graciously allowed are not my favorite tracks from the album, although Metal Heart is an amazing song and one of my personal favs it was first found on Cat Power’s 1998 album, Moon Pix. Sigh…But I suppose it will have to do for all those who are not that familiar with Cat Power hopefully it will be enough to pull you in.
mp3: Metal Heart (Chan Marshall)
I can’t resist Cat Power (Chan Marshall), I love her, of course not in a romantic sense but in a sense that she can do no wrong in my eyes. Her voice just makes my heart beat the rhythm to her sultry sounding chords. Jukebox is her second album of covers, an album of classic songs of those who have influenced her the most over the years. Songs from the likes of Janis Joplin, Hank Williams, James Brown and Billie Holiday. This album is something to be heard indeed.A couple of my favorite tracks from the long awaited new album…
mp3: Silver Stallion *REMOVED (Lee Clayton) – Chan Marshall
mp3: Don’t Explain *REMOVED (Billie Holiday) – Chan Marshall

Sia Delights
Filed Under Album Picks | 7 Comments
It seems I am having some sort of female singer love fest here because I have been enjoying Sia’s new album, Some People Have Real Problems. An album filled with a lot more soul than her previous 2006 album, Colour The Small One and I must say I like what I hear, I mean it certainly won’t be my fav album of the year if you know what I mean…But it does have a few diamonds amongst the rough that we can all enjoy. Tickets for her North American tour are now on sale.
Kind of a short post tonight because I am dead tired and I couldn’t be more ready to get into my jam jams and snuggle away the evening and what perfect music to relax to…

The Battle of Land and Sea
Filed Under Album Picks | 9 Comments
I have been quite sick for the last few days, like where I have had a faucet for a nose and I have just wanted to rip my head off and roll it down the street! It has also been raining here for the last few days as well and that has been a real treat. Also, Puma my kitty love also seemed to be sick yesterday and I almost freaked out, she just seemed not herself like she couldn’t get comfortable and that is always hard to watch. But this morning she seems back to her perky self all bright eyed and bushy tailed. I breathe a sigh of relief…
And I do have new music for everyone!
So the last couple of days with the rain and sickness around here I have been enjoying the sounds of Portland Oregon’s own Sarah O’Shura who is the voice and soul behind The Battle of Land Sea. She creates whimsical psychedelic indie-folk where she takes you on a journey through misty lands of lush beauty and it is all quite enchanting indeed. Two of my favorite tracks:
mp3:Â Saltwater Queen
mp3:Â The Beautiful Ones

The Submarines
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 4 Comments
I don’t normally post a track from an album that is not released yet but since it is a legal download to help promote their new album which is set to be released this year. And I currently have no more emusic downloads for this period (it doesn’t refresh until tomorrow) and nothing that has been released this year so far has really tickled my fancy; I figured what the hell!
You may have come across The Submarines on this blog before way back in the day, you can find that post HERE. But to refresh everyone’s memory The Submarines are a Los Angeles based band consisting of two members, John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard. They make wonderful music together and their new album, Honeysuckle Weeks comes out soon. I will keep you posted on the actual release date but for now enjoy their new song!

Stephen Lynch Comedy
Filed Under Music Mix Up | 7 Comments
Over the weekend I watched a Comedy Central stand-up special that cracked me up and I immediately thought I have to post this on the blog! Stephen Lynch combines music and comedy to make some funny stuff. Stop by his myspace and read his bio about himself, also quite amusing. And of course here is my favorite sketch…

A New Year
Filed Under News & Info. | 5 Comments
I know that for the last 6 months there have been a serious lack of posts here at Untitled Records and for that I apologize but I thank my loyal readers who have stuck with me through these somewhat rocky times.
I got a new job that I like as a web content coordinator, it is a full time position and it is also located in LA’s West Side Village so it is about an hour commute for me every morning and evening. But I really want to post everyday because I have the content in my head I just need to get it out. Anyways the long and the short of it is that tonight will begin a new year of posts and regular content everyday. Thanks for sticking with us here at Untitled Records and I look forward to 2008. Stay tuned!

Favorite Records of 2007
Filed Under Album Picks, Music Mix Up, The Lists | 25 Comments
So it is the end of 2007 and what a year it has been in the music world, so many great albums. The following list is a compilation of albums which I felt stood out the most in 2007. This year I really tried to concentrate on records in which I felt were filled with great songs all the way through from the first song to the last song. A list of music that varies containing everything from French chanson to R&B soul. I have really enjoyed writing for you all this year, it has been a rough transition into Word Press and I am still trying to find my bearings and I appreciate the constant support I receive from my readers; tis what keeps me going. Thank you to all and I look forward to sharing a new year of music in 2008 with you. Happy New Year!
