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 Austra – Lose It

TIA: “Hey Cream, what’s up? Last week I discover this incredible girl, her name is Katie Stelmanis and sing a band duo called Austra from Toronto. I love the strange combination of music and voices, sometimes i don’t hear the difference between the choral and a synth. What do u say about it?”

Song #2 tUnE-yArDs – Bizness

CREAM: “Hi Tia! It’s a great track, new and fresh music … although her voice is too similar to Florence Welch’s voice… Let me change genre on the fly: last weekend i saw this video and i thought of you!!! I’m sure you’ll like it!!! ”

Song #3 Jamie Woon – Spirits

TIA: “Yeah, Great! I really like it!!! But now … I suggest u another incredible singer Jamie Woon. He recorder his voice and use it like a beat, very cool! His music is described as “… R&B, groove-based vocal-led music …”. In the 2011 the BBC announced that Woon had been placed fourth in the BBC’s Sound of 2011 poll. I’m curious to listen to the full album entitled Mirrorwriting via Polydor Records. What do u think?”

Song #4 Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole – Somewhere over the rainbow

CREMA: “Cool! This time the sound remeber me of a Burial’ song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXMW0MHf9pQ). I’m sorry but if you want to talk to beautiful and soft voices… no one will be better then IZ… ”

Song #5 Ukulele Orchestra – Sympathy For The Devil

TIA: “You’re right man…no one can compete against IZ’s voice … but they had could compete against him in the hukulele category!!! I’m pretty sure!!! They are a unique ukulele orchestra made up of 7 ukuleles, a bass and 8 voices. They are all talented musicians who together have created a highly polished, original and entertaining sound. Their repertoire sweeps through Brit and American rock, including songs by the Rolling Stones, George Michael, The Cure, Beach Boys, Supergrass and Lou Reed.”

Song #6 Eddie Vedder – Longing To Belong

CREAM: “Man you are a jerk!!! You always make me laugh!!! You know, the ukulele is the new summer 2011 trend… Even Eddie Vedder makes an album entirelly dedicated to the ukulele… and it’s called? “Ukulele Songs”… ha ha ha!!! we need to go to an ukulele summer school…”

Song #7 JACK JASELLI – I’LL CALL YOU

TIA: “Very Very fresh, summer taste! I think that my summer sound will be made by Jack Jaselli’s songs!!! He is an italian born singer, songwriter and guitar player, and the his band is The Great Vibes Foundation, formed by some of the most talented young musicians in the Italian scene. Park, sun and good sound, i love this philosophy!”
