Eminem remix by Go Home Productions

'A SLIM McSHADY' Eminem / Wings Without Me / Silly Love Songs The first track GHP ever made available way back in May 2002. Eminem's 'Without Me' was pretty popular at the time and BoomSelection ran a chart encouraging folks to boot the acapella. Originally placed the vocal with a Led Zep track that a certain Soundhog did at the same time (quirk of fate) so I resigned myself to using Wings 'Silly Love Songs'. This track was playlisted on national radio in New Zealand and did a pretty good job of getting me noticed. Played by Chris Moyles on Radio One during the spate of 'Without Me' bootlegs that were aired on this lunchtime show and given a nice 8.5/10. May 2002

Fruit Bats

"Eric Johnson has been making experimental and pop-inflected folk-rock with increasing compositional and thematic complexity since Califone/Perishable Records founders Tim Rutili and Ben Massarella prompted him to explore his craft in the mid-‘90s. Johnson’s recordings, enriched by contributions from an ever-revolving cast of Chicagoan characters (the current lineup includes I Rowboat’s Dan Strack and percussionist John Byce) used a melancholy hand to touch on love and the human experience on 2001’s Perishable debut, Echolocation, and 2003’s Sub Pop-released Mouthfuls. Around the release of Mouthfuls, Harp magazine described the Fruits Bats as residing somewhere on a continuum between Califone and The Shins, combining, “...the latter’s widescreen vision with the former’s melodic knack to create something at once familiar and new.” After the years of extensive touring that followed, including stints with Modest Mouse, The Shins and Iron & Wine, as well as a handful of Wilco opening slots, Johnson returned to the drawing board with distinctly darker intent. “I was going to write this dark bummer record with shades of optimism, but my life started getting better,” he explains. The result of much soul-searching, Spelled in Bones is truly Johnson’s enlightened Romantic opus — in the 18 th century English literary sense of the term. With an emphasis on the “bigger picture” of life as it relates to nature’s organic relationship to man (“Legs of Bees”, “Spelled in Bones”), and irrational, spontaneous moments of beauty and rebirth (“Every Day That We Wake Up It’s A Beautiful Day”), Spelled in Bones proffers warm, thoughtful, bittersweet pop that’s as hopeful as it is curious." - Artist Page

I'm laying off some of the artwork as it's getting harder and harder to do when I'm busy.

Holopaw

It is difficult to label Holopaw. While certainly incorporating elements of Country music, they quite transcend the genre in much the same way their sister band Modest Mouse transcends the idea of Rock and Roll. You may recognize John Orth as the moderating influence in Isaac Brock's Ugly Casanova (I have a song of UC to post as well), and he brings his more tender influences to his main band. This is the most literate and moving album of the year, and it will have to be a pretty impressive year to top this effort. -Amazon

I figured I would post the rest of the image from the AIH post. I hate to reveal my sources, but I figured you needed to know the rest of the story.

Architecture In Helsinki
Sunday, July 31, 2005, 03:19 PM -


The Australian indie pop octet Architecture in Helsinki hails from Fitzroy, Melbourne, and counts multi-instrumentalists Cameron Bird, James Cecil, Gus Franklin, Isobel Knowles, Jamie Mildren, Sam Perry, Tara Shackell, and Kellie Sutherland among its ranks. The band's musical arsenal is even bigger than its roster, featuring instruments as diverse as analog synths and samplers, glockenspiel, tuba, clarinet, and recorder along with the more predictable drums, bass, and guitar. Architecture in Helsinki began playing in 2000, crafting a mix of indie, electronic, and pop that they recorded and occasionally performed live. The collective began recording its debut album, Fingers Crossed, in 2002 in a variety of places ranging from beach houses to proper studios; Bar None released the album in spring 2004. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Motorhome was the guise for a one-off show that Cameron played with AIH friend and collaborator Qua. This track was recorded live at Revolver nightclub in Melbourne in Late 2003.

Notice: This song is not representative of the band at all.
