The Bamboos Cover James Blake – Wilhelm Scre ..The Bamboos are a funk-soul outlet from Australia and, with the gorgeous vocals of Megan Washington, transform this intense, spacious track into a totally different song. Here is the original version of “Wilhelm Scream” by James Blake so you can compare: Wow, right? I love when a cover totally turns a song upside down. (don’t tell James, but this one is much more MY style!) Megan’s appearances on Lanu’s “Her 12 Faces” made that album one of my most-listened to last year and The Bamboos are one of the most dependably groovy bands ...KCRW2 February 2012

James Blake’s “Willhelm Scream” might be... ..James Blake’s “Willhelm Scream” might be considered one of the hardest songs to cover in recent time, but as a 10th anniversary present to it’s fans, Aussie 8 piece The Bamboos and singer Megan Washington took on the impossible. Their result is a jazzed up soul lullaby, that sounds completely different form the original, yet it’s really refreshing. Washington sounds like the sultry female counterpart to Blake. Very good actually. Have a listen below. The Bamboos - The Wilhelm Scream (James Blake cover) by CoverMe ViaHand Clap Movement1 February 2012

WashingtonSydney Opera House - Wed Jan 25 Any musical artist would struggle to raise expectations higher than Washington has with her Insomnia show. Facts first: the show is one of the top billed of the Sydney Festival, it has sold out the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, it’s also one of only four performances – first in Sydney, then Paris, London, New York. Furthermore, the Insomnia album came in the wake of, or in response to, a reportedly emotionally overwhelming year for Megan Washington, in which h ...Rave Magazine31 January 2012

News: Gotye Tops The Hottest 100: We Told Yo .."Gotye to top the Hottest 100." This was M+N contributor Andrew McMillen’s startling prediction at August’s Splendour In The Grass festival. And while he was mocked and derided like a young Nostradamus at the time, lo and behold, he was right. ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ featuring Kiwi-born singer Kimbra was officially announced this evening as the “hottest” song of 2011, beating out the likes of The Black Keys’ ‘Lonely Boy’ (#2), Matt Corby’s ‘Brother’ (#3) and Skrillex (#21). It’s the second year running an Australian act has topped the publically voted list, following ...Mess and Noise26 January 2012

Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Reynolds To Star In ..Next month will be an important one for Ryan Reynolds and Reese Witherspoon. The former is bruised after a pair of summer flops last year, "Green Lantern" and "The Change-Up," and will be hoping to cement his A-list status opposite Denzel Washington in "Safe House," while the latter hasn't had an unqualified hit since "Four Christmases" in 2008, and is hoping to turn that around by starring opposite Tom Hardy and Chris Pine in McG's "This Means War." But while they wait for their blockbuster drawing power to be tested, the pair are planning to team up for ...:: The Playlist ::24 January 2012

From FacebookAn interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week: "If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U ...Baxojayz16 January 2012

Real Estate take it "Easy"Real Estate - "Easy" from Tom Scharpling Funny or Die seems like an odd place for a band like Real Estate to premiere their new video for "Easy." The band just don't strike me as being that funny. In fact, the video isn't that funny either, but it seems to be TRYING at least. Check it out above. Real Estate tour dates: Jan 14 - New York, NY - Terminal 5 Jan 15 - Boston, MA - Brighton Music Hall Jan 16 - Providence, RI - Met Cafe Jan 17 - Burlington, VT - Higher Ground Showcase Lounge Jan 18 - Montreal, QC - La Sala Rossa Jan 19 ...The End of Irony12 January 2012
