Almost Goodbye

I THINK THIS BLOG IS COMING TO AN END
It's been almost nine months since I started this blog and so far I've had almosy 150,000 hits (not bad, right?!) and I think it's time this blog came to an end. The main reason is that I don't have that much interest anymore in maintaining a music blog as much as I did when I started. I've also been very busy and I don't really have time to update it (like other music bloggers do). And most importantly, I've had a lot of posts removed by the blogger admin. They would keep sending me Blogger DMCA takedown notifications regarding copyright stuff. I'm tired of my posts being removed without any warning and then receiving Blogger DMCA takedown notifications. So I'm asking you now, readers and visitors, should I continue or abandon this blog forever?

Indie Song of the Week

"Talons", a new song streaming on Bloc Party's MySpace, is an extra track from the sessions that produced the middling Intimacy. In addition to being given away as a free track to those who downloaded the album, "Talons" will also be released as a single in late October in the UK. It's expected to be on the physical release of Intimacy along with other bonus material, and will also be available with digital downlods of the album from the band's site going forward, beginning at midnight tonight. To my ears-- speaking as someone who doesn't find this band particularly interesting-- it sounds very much of a piece with the rest of the new record, shouty chorus, pumped-up sound, the whole nine.
Bloc Party - Talons

Official Remix Song of the Week

After the commercial success of her hit single 'Paper Planes' (featured in the movie, 'Pineapple Express' earlier this year), M.I.A. has become recognized globally. Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasm, better known as M.I.A, is a multi-talented singer, songwriter, producer and visual artist of Sri Lankan Tamil descent. She recently collaborated with Jay-Z for the official remix of "Boyz". This song is definitely worth to download, Jay-z's verse makes this song kickass. Hope they will make video for this one.

Alternative Song of the Week

"Náttúra" is a song written and recorded by Icelandic singer Björk featuring Thom Yorke of Radiohead. The track was released as a single promoting the protection of the Icelandic environment. All proceeds from the single will be donated to the Náttúra Foundation, the environmental preservation campaign after which the song is named.
This is Björk's first solo single to be released entirely in Icelandic.
Not my favourite thing shes done, but I like its chaoticness and her voice is amazing as usual. Thom Yorke's vocals are right where they belong - in the background.
