It's been really long since I made my last post. Part laziness, part circumstances.

Okay! Without any further lame sentences to make an intro, I come straight to the point. This post is about is about an Indie folk band – Bon Iver.

 Founded by American songwriter, Justin Vernon, in 2007. For Emma, Forever Ago, Bon Iver's debut album was released independently the same year.  It is a beautiful album! And made Vernon earn his cult.

Bon Iver won the 2012 Grammy Award for Best New Artist and Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album for their second studio album – Bon Iver.

Band has derived its name from the French phrase bon hiver, ie, good winter.

Songs I like from For Emma, Forever Ago:

·         Flume

·         Skinny Love

·         For Emma

And from Bon Iver:

·         Calgary

·         Holocene – my fave video, on Iceland

·          Minnesota

 In the words of Vernon, “Each song on the album (Bon Iver) is named after or represents a place”

To be honest, each and every song from both the albums is very different and beautiful. Dont think twice in investing in both!

I'm gonna talk about Psychedelic Electronic music in this post.

Psychedelic Electronic Music is influenced by psychedelic culture and includes music that attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs. It includes sub genres like – House, Trance. Originated mainly from Israel, UK, SA…Goa also has a major contribution in this category (Goa trance).

I wasnt much intop house music/DJs till I started working on this content. Surely, sets you up in a party mood :)

Here goes few of my fave ones (Tracks & Artists) – House & Trance (not in the order of pref):

1.       Becoming Insane - Infected Mushroom

2.       Saeed – Infected Mushroom

3.       I feel you – Schiller

4.       BT – Emergecy

6.       Tiesto feat BT  - Break My Fall

7.       Tiesto – Just Be

8.       Above & Beyond – Sun & Moon

13.   Allure feat Jes – Show me the way

14.   Astrix – Acid Rocker

Stripped - Originally by the legends - Depeche Mode.

Insane composition & dark lyrics. Released in 1986, written by Martin Gore.

Another version by Rammstein. They are the kings of their genre - Neue Deutsche Härte (new German hardness). Totally raw!

New version by Shiny Toy Guns. And boy! they have covered this pretty well. Truely Gothic Electro.

M assuming, few more artists/bands must have covered it too.

My personal fave is STG one.
