Being a big fan of Felice Brothers it isn’t any wonder that I instantly fell in love with this. The Duke & The King is Simone Felice’s new band and their debut album will be released by Loose Music in july (in the uk) and by Ramseur in august (in the states). A seven inch single is already out on Loose and there’s a bunch of great songs from the album on their myspace. Sounds like an album that is worth all the hearts in the world. I can hardly wait to be able to hear it. So beautiful..

Oh.. and because I mentioned The Felice Brothers I have no other choice than to add this beautiful video of Felice Brothers plaing on some field for a few people. I so wish I had been there and I’m so jealous to that small audience. This might well be my favourite music video at youtube and I can just watch it over and over again..

TOP SONG:

KISS: Strutter

Do I need to explain. I can’t explain. Well last week it was midsummer and I did not spend much time listening to music. Except that I bought four KISS albums and spend the sunday listening to them. The summer is usually time when I try to fill some holes in my rock’n’roll education. Believe me, there are huge holes, because I know much more about 90’s power pop and indie rock than about rock history. This education of mine usually happens by just going out and buying a bunch of records in a short period of time. In the summer of 2007 I bought eight The Rolling Stones albums, In 2008 I bought 10 Tom Petty albums. This year KISS seem to be getting the same treatment and I started by buying those four albums. Surely I’ve been listening to a bit of KISS as a teen, but I wasn’t a big fan. And well for the last 12 years or so.. I hadn’t listened to Kiss at all. So it was about time and I’ve been really enjoying listening to them. Especially that debut album seems to be just wonderful. Some of it is actually really close 70’s rockin power pop. Oh.. and Strutter. What a song. First song on a debut album and it’s so damn great. Where do you go from there if you’ve started on the maximum level of perfection. That “Everybody says she’s lookin’ good. And the lady knows it’s understood” part is just perfect pop moment. I think I need to continue introducing myself to KISS by buying at least Hotter Than Hell. Maybe some of the late seventies stuff as well. I think I’m not yet ready to move to eighties. That sounds a bit too scary.
