Barry Whiteside 'Dead Lover's Waltz'

From his Yotube Channel:


"My experimentation with stop motion animation. Yes, that rhymed. I am something of a wordsmith.

This video took nearly 2,000 photos to make. I'm serious, my boredom is actually becoming a problem."


LYRICS

Here I go again alone on the streets
Ain't nobody who can make my heart beat
Cause I'm invisible now to the thieves and crooks
All dressed up in my cufflinks and tux

CHORUS
Doing the dead lover's waltz
In the afterlife ball
I could have settled but I wanted it all

Don't waste no time in stoppin' to wonder
If they still love you when you're six feet under
They leave the flowers and the notes by your grave
But heaven knows that you're not there anyway

Lyrics and music by Barry Whiteside.


Thanks to AK for the tip.

They showcased their skills on the buttons in this mix uploaded on Mixcloud and allow me to say it: it's propaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Blakroc

The Black Keys, one of my favourite blues/rock bands of modern days have invited some of the best rappers around (RZA, Pharoahe Monch, Mos Def....) to drop some knowledge over their new raw instrumentals with incredible results.

The 'Groovement' blog has listed all the youtube videos from those blunted studio sessions in one of their recent posts so go check it out HERE.

'The rhythm' selected for Carbon Logic's 'Grassroots LP'

A few months ago I signed up to the Carbon Logic website, uploaded some of my tracks and entered their 'Grassroots Dubstep' competition.

Last month the 3 judges Nick Argon, Bun Zer0 & Twisted, selected the final 15 and my track 'The rhythm' was one of them.

The comp is out in March and all the profits will go to 'Love Music Hate Racism'.

Another track of mine called '6' was also selected by Bun Zer0 for his Carbon Logic Podcast, grab it here.
