TLC News Roundup (1/12 – 1/18)

info@tasteslikecaramel.com (Tastes Like Caramel) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 01:08:57 +0000

I took a break mid-last week after working rigorously to prepare Tastes Like Caramel for a makeover and migration to our very own server. Unfortunately the music industry will not wait for me so I’m taking the opportunity to compile all the important things that happened since my last post on 1/12 up until today. My heart goes out to Haiti, be sure to help out in any form possible.

Savoir Adore at Mercury Lounge

info@tasteslikecaramel.com (Tastes Like Caramel) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:08:25 +0000

Last Thursday New York duo Savoir Adore and their live bandmates headlined Mercury Lounge with opening act Mon Khmer Khmer (whom I will profile separately.) I last caught Savoir Adore at Spike Hill for the L Magazine’s Northside Festival, but since then the band has gone on to release a stellar debut In the Wooded Forest and hit the road for their rigorous tour schedule.

Savoir Adore played an enchanting 10-song set which was a visible hit with their growing number of fans. SA returns to New York next month for a residency at Cake Shop before setting their sites on Austin, TX for SXSW. Stay tuned and be sure to visit their official site for 3-free tracks!

New M.I.A. Song/ Video: I’m Down Like Your Internet Connection!

info@tasteslikecaramel.com (Tastes Like Caramel) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:25:02 +0000

To the delight of millions, M.I.A. shared a brand new song/music video (?) this afternoon via her Twitter account called I’m Down Like Your Internet Connection!

Of the song she told Rolling Stone: “I was having issues with my cable and wireless, and I was on the phone [with tech support] for three hours, and I thought, ‘Maybe this needs to be part of my music, could you just learn these lyrics and sing it down the phone to me?’ Ten phone calls later, I have Internet that sticks and a song.” WOW! Here is our first taste of M.I.A. in 2010!

Vodpod videos no longer available.

M.I.A. also recently described her next album as “No gimmicks. It’s my third album, and I have to confront whether I am a musician or not … I wanted to make something that isn’t trendy just for three months, or the length of a DJ’s attention span.”

Can’t wait to hear it!
