Bat for Lashes/Beck collaboration.

This is probably the most commercial of my posts so far on this blog but here is the collaboration Bat For Lashes has done with Beck for the new Twilight, Eclipse film!
It kind of weirds me out looking through the soundtrack listings to these films that so many good artist would lend their music to this franchise but if it can create a track this good then whatever!
This is an epic disco chillout song in the tradition of stadium balladiers and at the same time is close and scuzzy enough to not make me wince! Those piano stabs feel like mountains collapsing into the sea.
Really awesome. When he first comes in Beck almost sounds like the Beta Band for some reason. A proper classic that I imagine will be overlooked because of it being part of this soundtrack. Would love to see this at number one in the singles chart!

Bat For Lashes Vs Technotronic

I was up early and for some reason started to listen to old cheesy rave records, Technotronic, Hardcore Uproar, lil Louis, 808 State, Betty Boo, Candy Flip, Snap, Adentures Of Stevie V, The Shamen etc..

While bopping out in my room drinking loadsa coffee I started to flick through my MySpace bulletins and saw Tashes new video "Daniel" Now I've always liked Bat For Lashes but never really listen too much to her as its not totally my thing but I really like her new stuff, at least shes being more La Roux and less CatPower/Bjork Daniel - Bat For Lashes


..But despite this super nice vid and song I'm sure wherever shes living shes still never doing the washing up! (Letting things "Soak" is not the same as cleaning things!)
