Song of the Week- À Nos Actes Manqués

La chanson de la semaine! (Song of the Week)

I like the idea of posting an awesome song every week. So this week it's the remkake of Jean Jacques Goldman's "À Nos Actes Manqués" by M. Pokora. This new version is really fresh. It has summer written all over it, plus the video is really cute. :) bissous!

Orange RockCorps - Give and Get Back

Orange RockCorps (UK) gives some pretty awesome concerts that are uniquely exclusive. But the tickets don't cost money. Hey, I know what you're thinking. Theres gotta be a catch right? Well, all you have to do is give 4 hours of community service in your community and they give you a ticket! Sound alright? What if I mentioned this years artists include Diddy Dirty Money and Jessie J? If only I lived in the UK...

Ron Pope. Bittersweet.

I love finding music that's unique. That no one knows of. Most of all, I love songs with lyrics that make you smile and have bittersweet melodies. Ron Pope did just that today. I was poking my nose around on the Ourstage radio app and found his music. He kind of reminded me of James Morrison and the Fray. My personal fave song? This is it :)

Coldplay's New Single

Coldplay is incredible. Their new single "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" is out! It's a must listen.

I reckon a hit of the summer. It's available at itunes. And you can watch the new official video here: Official Video

or just listen to the song below.

Simple Plan goes French!

We all remember Simple Plan. They rocked our CD players with songs like "I'd do anything" and "Untitled" back in the 2000's. Well they're back and sounding fresher than ever with their new album "Get Your Heart On. Their new single "Jet Lag" feat. Natasha Beddingfield is amazing, but my personal fave is the half-french version they recorded with Marie-Mai. It's Simple Plan like we've never heard them before. Check it out for yourself:

Concert Revolution

Live concerts, and free?!! Yep, Itunes is offering all throughout the month of July free live concerts with the Festival London 2011 App. Famous artists like Coldplay, ADELE, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, and Linkin Park are going to be participating. Wow, almost sounds too good to be true. Could it be that apple is starting to revolutionize the way we know concerts? I don't know if it will ever compare to the live experience, but it does seem pretty cool to have a live concert at home every night of July.

I think we should take advantage of this while it's free!

Bright Ideas

Hey music lovers,

I hope that the blog for you has finally come to a beginning. I've wanted to create an awesome music blog for quite some time now, a blog where musicians and music enthusiasts can feel at home. Music is something that unites us. We all love it, even though we may have very different tastes in it. And at the end of the day, it motivates us, touches us, relaxes us, warms our hearts, or hardens them...a lot of different styles like said. lol but the point I'm getting to is that music is essentially human emotion expressed in song. And we should all have someplace to feel comfortable in, right? This blog will hopefully bring you that ease and fresh comfort you need from music. Welcome to Music Room!
