The Last Days of House Weekly Track: 'Insomnia (Monster Mix)' by Faithless (1995)

So now this is happening...posts for Dance/House hits from new to old so get ready. To start it off is a classic 1995 track by British electronica/house/dance group Faithless called Insomnia (Monster Mix). Now I am sure there are heaps of remixes and versions, but the Monster Mix is the one I am preaching about today. Faithless originated out of London, England and consisting of members Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo, and according to their Wikipedia Page they have actually officially split up just this month of April 2011. The group has sold over 15 million records worldwide and this particular remix version comes off of their 1996 release album titled Reverence. So that is the first dance-house-trance track to be featured here, but many more to come, and hopefully even some new ones, and that's all she wrote..

Now They Call Them Oldies = 'I Want To Tell You' by The Beatles (1966)

The results for this week's Part 1 of Oldies shuffling goes to The Beatles, and their 1966 song I Want To Tell You. I Want To Tell You was written by George Harrison and released on the 1966 Revolver album (one of my favorites by The Beatles, which is why it comes up on my playlist so often). According to the Wikipedia page the Revolver album was released in anticipation that it's focus more on the electric-guitar-rock sound as opposed to the folk-rock sound on their previous album, which would help to introduce a new phase in the group's recording career, and of course it reached #1 on both the UK and US album charts and remained their for a number of weeks on each chart. Check out the Wikipedia page link above for more trivia and info. So there is Part 1, Part 2 to be posted soon, thanks for stopping by...world...

Today's Feature Song = 'Little By Little' by Radiohead (2011)

Today's feature song is Little By Little by British experimental rock Gods Radiohead.  Now Radiohead has been around just about forever, and we are all well aware of their work, but I had to post a song off their latest album titled King of Limbs, which was of course just released this month (February of 2011). Knowing Radiohead like we do, we also know that they never fail to disappoint, and this album, while a bit more mellow, is anything but disappointing. I had the luxury of actually seeing them live in Vancouver B.C. upon the release of their Hail To The Thief album, and to this day it is still the highest quality concert (in every way) that I have been to, and I believe it has something to do with the band's quality of presence and performance, and of course the beautiful natural setting their at Thunderbird Stadium. If you haven't yet bought their new album, do it, you won't be sorry, it is available at their website for purchase and download HERE. Everything in its right place...
