Clare Maguire – Ain’t Nobody (Breakage Remix)


Placing #5 in BBC Radio‘s Sound of 2011.
I was curious to find out who Clare Maguire is.
Her debut album Light After Dark won’t drop until February 28th
Wasn’t until I heard this remix on BBC Radio 1.
I was like “Wow! I like this remix”.
Have a listen to Ain’t Nobody (Breakage’s Suck It Up Mix).

Here is the music video of the original version.

Belle and Sebastian – The BBC Sessions [Review]

I know its not the right album to get me started with the band Belle and Sebastian.
I really love the BBC Sessions album cover and yes I know you shouldn’t judge an album by its cover.
Unless someone comments and tell me which album to start off from them.
I’ve heard of them but was not familiar to their music. Considering I used to buy issues of the magazine Q and they had a thing where their first album Tigerlily was out of print but is available now due to a better record label. Now finding the original copy on vinyl is totally hard to find now.

But I decided to check out this album.
Just because it had BBC in it and anything that has BBC should be good. Am I right?

Belle and Sebastian is going to be one of those acts that I will never get to see live in concert.
Totally an underrated band and surprised on how a committed fanbase they have while reading up on them.
