New music: Graham Coxon, Bill Ryder-Jones, Paloma Faith - Desire

Thanks to a great little ad-on thing for Last.fm that plays videos from YouTube, I just found a new song with one of the greatest guitarmen in the world, mr. Graham Coxon. He has lately become very active on both Facebook and Twitter and posts a life changeing song every day. Absolutely worth following! Anywaays..This new song is apparently a commercial for converse and it totally rocks!! (To say it very Americana). It's been a long time since I have thought that about something new, but I guess it's now wonder as things always rock when Graham is playing. The vido in itself is also extremely cool and nice 30's- 40's style :)

But... Excuse my ignorance who are the two others, I had to look it up... Let's see...
You can read more about Paloma Faith here! What an amazing voice!! I need to check out more of what she has done! And Bill Ryder-Jones is apparently from The Coral... Hm, they are ok. But a little bit of another league than Coxon at least. But now! Enjoy! :D



Behind the scenes:

Film & Music: Marie Antoinette

I think Sofia Coppola has made some genius choices when it comes to music for her film about Marie Antoinette. When I first saw the movie and heard the first few songs, I was a bit shocked and not at all sure if I liked it at all, somewhere during the movie I started to love it more and more. Sofia has chosen a lot of modern music for a film that is all the rest when it comes to costumes and setting and all in the 16-1700's. This could have had a really tragic, fake, strange and bad effect but actually it just makes it amazing. Marie Anotionette's feelings in the film are underlined by the feelings also felt by the artists that made the songs almost 400 years later. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, there might be some spoilers, so be careful. I especially love that she uses modern music like The Strokes "Whatever happened" to give a portrait of Marie Antoinette for the Swedish military officer Count Fersen (?):



I also love how Ceremony by New Order is in the background of her birthdayparty.



And last but not least "I want candy". The perfect song for this queen famed for her spendings...



(Look for the Converse.. hehe)
