LYRICS | ViNTAGE MUSiC
This song is called Vintage Music, it's a tribute and a rip-off
Punk and Blues on the beats of Hip-Hop
Seven songs in seven days, not wasting time
Keeping the mistakes in and moving on
Iggy Pop on mainstream radio all day long
Would have outsold anybody who makes commercial pong
Most people eat what they are served
People buy, dig and like what they have heard
You feed them crap, what do you expect?
You give them some good stuff, they can't settle for second best
Don't tell me about a new cool group,
When MC5 sound fresher than next week NME's cover buffoons
Rock'n'roll saved my soul -
I may just feel reassured that music can get better as it gets old
Pump-up the volume, my friend - don't let it go,
We dug Mr. Cohen as everybody knows
We make it what we want it to be
Vintage music, vintage music
You may now be the only person in the world listening to this record
This song is called Vintage Music, it's a tribute and a rip-off
Punk and Blues on the beats of Hip-Hop
You may now be the only person in the world listening to this record
What lasted long is solid strong
Still connects with what matters and doesn't feel wrong
In school I always was the first to explore
Good old vintage Rock'n'Roll
You see I don't like throwing things away
I want to listen to music that's going to stay
If there's something old that I like today
I know that I will play it many years away
Up or down and dependant on mood
Fashion can't predict the weather and if I'm happy or blue
I've got some things that I want to tell you
I've got some things that I want to tell you
I've got some things that I want to tell you
I've got some things, yes I've got some things
I've got some things that I want to tell you
I've got some things that I want to tell you
Fashion can't tell if happy or blue
I've got some things that I want to tell you
We make it what we want it to be
Vintage music, vintage music
You may now be the only person in the world listening to this record
I saw a girl, only nine years old,
Riffing away to Smoke On The Water
She may now be the only person in the world…
This song is called Vintage Music, it's a tribute and a rip off
Punk and Blues on the beats of Hip-Hop

LYRICS | UNDERDOG APPEAL
Limitation in the technical front
An innovation that comes as a default
Lost it all and now he's back in the ring
Can't lose a thing, he's got to win
On my seat, I kind of like it fine
Before too long I got a laugh and a good time
Take me down 'till you have a new feel
My sense is real – underdog appeal
Few in numbers spread around the field
Less is more force than seems to shield
Determination on the way to start
You cannot stop, on the way up
Two nil down and kind of like it fine
These draws always realize in a good time
Take me down then you up a new feel
Senses real – underdog appeal
I feel Ready, I feel ready
Don't you ever sleep at nights?
Are you ready? I feel ready
Love is like an angel bright
I feel ready
My motor's on
To stratosphere
Underdog Appeal, appeal, appeal
Limitation, whether like it or not
A recognition that you can't really stop
Exploration means I'd like to see
Where I'll be, when stretching me
Another project and I like it fine
I was always in a line for a good time
Take me down till you have a new feel
My senses real – underdog appeal

LYRICS | OUT OF TUNE
You want to create something that will be here to stay
You want to make an impact, stop feeling wasted away
You've got many ideas for films, books, albums and plays
You want to do these things, still you're going nowhere
You never know what to answer when asked what do you do
You feel kind of like Superman trapped in a Clark Kent suit
You've got pointless part time jobs, slowing down the projects in view
Now just for once, bring it as it comes
You know what you want,
You always did
Out of tune with what's going on
Out of tune, alright
Out of tune, alright
You wrote dozens of songs and actually have got something to say
You know you're as good as many in the business, but you don't get paid
You do everything yourself, write, record, you do it your way
Now just for once, bring it as it comes
You know what you want,
You always did
Out of tune with what's going on
Out of tune, alright
Out of tune, alright
Playing in rhythm, singing in tune
Playing in rhythm, singing in tune
Who would have thought that this is what you have to do
Time to have fun, yes time to have fun
Who cares if people like it or not
Who cares if it's out of tune
Out of tune with the world
Out of tune with the rules that bind
Well, just for once, bring it out
As it comes - out of tune
Bring it out as it comes
And here comes a scream in a natural pitch – ah, ah, a-a-a-ah
Now listen people, take this guitar
Don't mind if it's out of tune
Just kick out a bursting championship solo
You know what you want,
You always did
Out of tune with what's going on
Out of tune, alright
Out of tune, alright

LYRICS | UNSiGNED AND PROUD (New Lyrics)
Don’t really know what you’ll find, but you’re stepping inside
Music played on this site
Here there’s a clip that they’ve done, spending hardly a dime
Now viewed thousands of times
Think that could be on the rise – got to make it to a pact
Well it turns into a fact
That’s not too bad, sure don’t seem bad
They're unsigned and proud
Rent, well this really big space, a bunch of jamming friends
Meet whenever they can
Thought he should found a place, like a site for dead bands
So his will get a second chance
Feel that could be on the rise – well they made it to a pact
Might still have some great impact
That don’t seem bad, they don’t feel bad
They're unsigned and proud
Take just a couple of kids, uploading their tracks
Getting on the right track
One song can change everything and I don’t mean-luck,
But won’t say no to some luck
Think that could be on the rise – got to make it to a pact
Unsolicited attack
Well, don’t seem bad, sure nothing bad
We're unsigned and proud
Unsigned and proud
Now say it loud
Unsigned and proud

LYRICS | GOOD FOR THE SOUL
No more duties that aren't - good for the soul
No more un-necessary compromises that are no – good for the soul
Well, even when it's tough, still needs to be:
Good for the soul – good for the soul, alright
Good for the soul – good for the soul, alright
Good for the soul – good for the soul, alright
Good for the soul
She said it's just ain't good for my soul anymore
No more slavery to insignificant causes that aren't any – good for the soul
Now, let's take a break, and bring it on
Good for the soul – good for the soul, alright
Good for the soul – good for the soul, alright
Good for the soul – good for the soul, alright
Good for the soul

LYRICS | RECORD STORE
Most of my friends don't seem to care for music anymore
They get it for their phone, or make their own
A laptop, some plug-ins and you get your self a song
Make the music that you want to hear
I can remember the feeling of going to the record store
Most of my friends don't buy albums anymore
They're too expensive and really what for?
They download for nothing dozens in one go
Never have the time to listen to the music
To the music that they want to hear
And people don't seem to have patience for music anymore
There's too much choice and you need time to appreciate a good record
Free podcasts, playlists, and audio streams
Drowning in the music that you'd like to hear
I can remember the feeling of going to the record store
My generation barely goes there anymore
Anyone these days releases his own album
Might as well have fun – leave out the polished sound
Why care if people like it, just make the music
Make the music that you want to hear

ALiEN ALRiGHT Modi'In Makabim Re'Ut, Israel
Landing in the UK for an unexpected stay of 7 years, 'Alien Alright' is like an 'outsider's indie-rock diary' of music
recorded during that time.
It's organized by order and consists of 14 albums - all 100% DIY, home-made.
Some of the albums are more properly produced, some are recorded with just vocals over an acoustic guitar, and 2 are improvised live.
You’re welcome to explore and enjoy :)

Kutiman - 6am (Vinyl/CD/Digital)
by Kutiman
The most exciting album I heard in years! Kutiman is pretty much doing here everything I dream to have in an album. Tarantino got to use the song 'Shine Again' for the peak scene on his next movie.

Souvenir
by Maston with L'éclair
The sequel to 'Moon Safari' by Air. Fell in love with this album instantly, and I keep playing it all the time. Only criticism is that it's too short !! (under 25 minutes).

Heard 'Used to Feel Alright' on the radio, and Shazamed it straight away. Turns out that it's not even the biggest hit on this album (how is that even possible?!?). Great album, and great vibe.
