Waiting On The World To Change

Any John Mayer fans left in the house? Do you even remember who he is? It seems Johhny boy is back, and he has shaken that wannabe blues muso ambition that he finally fufilled on that surprisingly solid John Mayer Trio (John Butlers lawyers were waiting for him to sue for that one) LP 'Try', where he let out his inner B.B. King.

Don't worry kids, John Mayer has returned. I always found his music so annoyingly endearing, so when I caught news that his new album 'Continuum' is out in a little under 3 weeks, I needed to take a listen. On John's website, he has featured the first single 'Waiting On The World To Change' for streaming, which is an effortless piece of smooth guitar pop which sounds slightly like an artist I can't quite put my finger on. It is good, really good, minus that silly lyric 'Our generation is going to rule the population' (lol). If you live in NYC, he will be playing a free show on NBC's Today show at the Rockerfeller Centre on Friday, go nuts and wave those obligitory 'John Have My Babies' signs.

Erol Alkan is everywhere. No doubt that he is one of the most in demand producers in electronic music today, with some recent killer remixes up his sleeve of the likes of Justice, Daft Punk, Bloc Party and Hot Chip.

Now he has taken on the new Scissor Sisters track 'Don't Feel Like Dancing', and has morphed it from a glammed-out stomp intto an electro-infused 'Carnival Of Light' (So claims this remix's title). What previously was a track which in truth didn't make you 'feel like dancing' at all, the Erol Alkan remix does the exact opposite, and creates a highly danceable piece of music. The remix will be released on 12" released next month. For now, have a listen at MySpace, and buy me one of those 'Keeps Kids Dancing' T-Shirts whilst you're there. Ta.
