The 11 Best Song By Morcheeba

Built out of the ashes of the trip-hop movement in the '90s, Morcheeba may be the lone survivor of a genre that seems to ripen with age.  With only a thread of Massive Attack remaining, a Portishead that may be still around but who really knows, and Tricky who gave up trip-hop for a less longstanding '90s genre called grunge, Morcheeba remains the only artist from that era who is still keeping pace.  Their last album wasn't just a welcome return, it was like the band transported it via telephone booth from 1996 to our doorsteps (or earbuds).  Trip-hop was a brief moment in musical time.  It hit softly, made a little imprint, but has withheld the test of time.  Like Pearl Jam, Morcheeba has struggled but emerged stronger than ever.

The 11 Best Songs By Morcheeba

I spent the day at E3 playing all the new video games in the coming years.  Playstation 3 has "Move" which is a wand like the Wii...Xbox has Kinect which has no controller whatsoever.  When I think of the future of video games I get excited.  Technology is giving developpers the ability to create games that we once only dreamed of playing.

When it come to music, I feel the exact opposite.  To me technology is music's biggest enemy, not its ally.  The more produced a song sounds, the less like a song it sounds.  Production has the power to clean out all the background noise, the frayed sound waves, giving the music a crisp & clean sound.  But all that extraneous snippets is what gives the song personality.  It's the little negative that makes the song positive.

With video games I look to the future, with music I'd rather live in the past.

Glad to see Skye Edwards feels the same way and has rejoined the brothers in Morcheeba.

Cheeseburger in a can. That's right. Now you can buy a Cheeseburger in a can. So many thoughts come to mind. Like, who the hell is the marketing genius behind this one? Who sits around and thinks that in some sort of reality...this is might the one product that the world is screaming for? The only person...or peoples...if you can call them that...that actually might find a Cheeseburger in a can appealing...are college students. And not just any college students. Very very stoned college students. Even then...you're going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel as far a collegiate campus go. Who ever thought of this modern delicacy wonder...good luck.
