Track Of The Day 9/2 - No GoldWidely respected for its plethora of angst-ridden young males bearing acoustic guitars and facial hair, Canada is now unleashing a flood of electronic oscillations. Hailing from Vancouver, No Gold are a product of the city's illicit underground arts scene. Smashing technology, visual arts and electronic music together, the trio's sound is as evocative as it is contagious. Containing plenty of House textures, No Gold's music slows down the tempo until you feel sucked down in honey. The shuffling rhythms are a little like the Tom Tom Club, sharing a similar sense of playful chaos. Fusing elements of ...Clash Music9 February 2012

Review: 'The Union' Is A Love Letter To Leon ..A documentary portrait by filmmaker and avid music lover Cameron Crowe ("Almost Famous," "Pearl Jam Twenty"), "The Union" has a pretty simple concept: chronicling the making of The Union, the eponymously titled album by Elton John and the ultimate rock & roll session man Leon Russell, a musician also known for a solo career featuring his angelic yet gravely voice in songs that blend rock, country, blues, and gospel. What makes that premise notable is the fact that these two music legends are uniting for the first time in almost 40 years, after their '70s heyday. Beginning in 2010, "The Union ...:: The Playlist ::4 February 2012

Watch: Four Clips Of Cameron Crowe & Elton J ..While on the surface it appeared as if Cameron Crowe laid dormant after 2005's "Elizabethtown," the truth is quite the opposite. The "Vanilla Sky" filmmaker wrote a Marvin Gaye film (still unproduced as of now) and a "Jerry Maguire"-like romantic comedy set in Hawaii with a spiritual element to it ("Deep Tiki," also unproduced), and in 2011, released two films: the documentary, "Pearl Jam Twenty," and the feature-length effort, "We Bought a Zoo" starring Matt Damon (which grossed almost $72 million domestically; not bad for a film which some called a box-office dude at first). Crowe also debuted ...:: The Playlist ::2 February 2012

Labyrinth Ear – Amber (iO Remix)It’s been a while since we last posted anything from Labyrinth Ear on Upside Sounds.

Amy Winehouse: Lioness: Hidden TreasuresPosthumous releases are tricky. You can fill a couple of shelves with total crap outtakes, alternate takes, demos and what-not. Lioness: Hidden Treasures , the third Amy Winehouse album has its fair share of clunkers - somebody please shoot the guy who thought that it would be a good idea to let rapper Nas piss all over Like Smoke . Body And Soul , a duet with Tony Bennett is another example of a duet of two famous singers who never gel. Miss Winehouse had a great voice and there is plenty of good stuff to be heard on this album. Between The Cheats ...Here comes the flood9 December 2011
