Let’s Cha(r)t: the back to back DJ sets becomes a virtual link to the link on the tube, the console takes the form of a chat and the gossip made in a pub in front of a beer turns into a chatter 2.0.

Song #1 ALAMEDA – NEW LEAF

TIA: “Hi Cream… spring has arrived and to combat the symptoms of allergy no pads and stuff, the doctor advised me to put this song in my ipod and loop it… and it’s working, only smiles and not even a sneeze! This is the first video of Alameda’s album ‘Seasongs/Spectres’ (on False Migration Records).”

Song #2 TOKYO POLICE CLUB – WAIT UP (BOOTS OF DANGER)

CREAM: “Hi my dear… Alameda are sooooo cool and sooooo fresh, and song’s title is sooooo spring!!! You’re right, spring is come… and dogs too feel it!!! Look this video by Tokyo Police Club, a Canadian indie rock band from Newmarket (Ontario), taken from their album ‘Champ’ (2010).”

Song #3 BLAKROC – WHAT YOU DO TO ME

TIA: “Ah ah ah, so cool, the dogs are fantastic!!! I feel like gettin’ a dip. Man, we are becoming famous… people stop me in the street to suggest me videos fot the Cha(r)t… after we posted The Black Keys’ video, a friend of mine (Paolino) talk me about The Black Keys’ b-side project with many collaboration and with a remarkable sound. Check it!”

Song #4 JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN – ETERNAL FLAME

CREAM: “HA HA HA, it happend to me too. Some minutes ago a received an email with this suggestion: Joan as Police Woman (thanks to Chiara). Ever heard it? She is an indie rock violinist and singer/songwriter. She began her career playing violin with the Dambuilders. I’m reading about her and… oh my god… she collaborated with Lou Reed, Sheryl Crow, Sparklehorse, Dave Gahan, Elton John, the Scissor Sisters, Antony and the Johnsons, Rufus Wainwright and Lloyd Cole. And… she was Jeff Buckley’s girlfriend!!!”

Song #5 NNEKA – HEARTBEAT

TIA: “She is born in Warri (Nigeria), by Nigerian father and German mother. In the language of the Igbo, his name means “the supreme Mother”… She’s girlfriend of any died famous singer… anyway she’s one of my best female singer of this period!”

Song #6 FOSTER THE PEOPLE – PUMPED UP KICKS

CREAM: “You already told me about her, here some comments on YouTube: ‘The best!!’ Maravilhosa!’ – ‘this a hit’ – ‘wow,very nice musics’ – ‘I LOVE this’ – ‘this would be the greatest acapella song ever’ – ‘NIGERIA, I’M COMING !!! to know Your music closer’ – ‘This song is amazing!!!’ – ‘NNEKA is so beautiful w/ such an amazing voice & presence!’.
And what about Foster The People? I discovered this video last week and this song has been defined ‘the song of next summer’ on BlackBook.com.

Song #7 S.O.J.A. – YOU AND ME

TIA: “What if all the summer songs were like this!!! Since from spring we’re moving fast to summer… I suggest a frozen daiquiri with this song by S.OJ.A. (Soldier Of Jah Army)… and fresh fellings to everyone!!!”
