Music I enjoy...
and worth a listen
To say I like eclectic music would be an understatement. I'm proud listener of alternative music. Bands like, London Grammar, Florence and the Machine, Awfultune, Sia and my favorite, Daughter.
Two alternative music performers I'd like to introduce you to is, again Daughter, a band from the UK led by the talented sultry voice of Elena Tonra.
The second is a young gentleman named Roland Faunte who is a master songwriter, IMHO.
Anyway, enjoy the music!
There are many more excellent alternative music performers. But let's stop a second and ask ourselves what is the genre of alternative music all about?When the term was Used in the 1970s, it was referring to non-commercial music ie: not under control of big labels. Independent music is one example for alternative music, underground music is another. Almost every music genre starts as alternative music. As a contrast to mainstream which comprises all music styles that are successful from a commercial viewpoint. Then, there are alternative music styles created by previously unknown artists.
Other good alternative music performers:
+ Aurora
+Awfultune
+Boy Genius
+Upshaul
+King Mala
+Artic Monkeys
+Sia

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
