New Erykah Badu video directed by Flying Lotus
Although Erykah Badu’s last video for “Window Seat” caused such an uproar due to her impromptu strip show at at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza, it unlikely has anything to do with the headscarf she is wearing in this new video for “Gone Baby – Don’t Be Long”. Considering the ease for which she navigates below the […]

The music biz in 2010
February 7, 2011
by anitabeforeshesleeps
The music industry has been under a lot of heat for failing to adopt to digital forms of distribution quickly enough to translate into anything that can be deemed as progressive or impressively profitable. Lucky for us Ryan Van Etten, in his own blog VirtualMusic.tv, has put the heat into numbers that show a positive […]

Caribou and Four Tet Love
(One last post about these brilliant guys and then we’ll shut up about them for a bit…) It’s not just Plastic People that has seen some Caribou and Four Tet love recently. Two things to put on your radar: 1) Old news, but Caribou remixed Four Tet’s Angel Echoes and the result is a slow-building […]

by anitabeforeshesleeps
As one can probably tell from the title, I am trying to highlight notable releases by month. Hopefully this both provides me with my first topic for realistic, consistent blog posting, and anyone who likes monthly new music consumption a nice starting point of reference. In turn, I am very excited as this will make […]
Caribou @ Plastic People
Caribou descended on Plastic People last night. Normally, there is a big queue outside PP, but for Caribou it was exceptional. For a venue that holds a couple of hundred at a squeeze (and they are very careful about never letting it get too squeezed), there were easily over 300 people without tickets queueing […]

In January, You’re Broke
If you’re anything like me, you’re looking at the January credit card statement and wondering exactly how all those zeroes got on there… Even in a recession it seemed like a good idea to splurge a little bit for Christmas, you know, with the cold weather and all… treat yourself… oops! Well, as a followup […]

Upon arrival in Munich last week my dear friend picked me up from the airport and immediately took me to see the new Michael Jackson memorial in the center of the city. I was traveling with a good friend who shares my history of growing up loving Michael Jackson so naturally it was obvious that […]

We Love Mixcloud
A few months ago I stumbled across mixcloud – a little late to the party, perhaps, as they’ve been at this game since late 2009 and their offices are just down the road in Old Street. They’re not just another internet radio station: they’re the one where you upload the radio. It’s a little different […]

Since this is my first post for Before I Sleep, I thought it might be appropriate to make it both slightly personal and extremely revealing about my musical inspirations. It is my most memorable personal music discoveries of 2010 and where I was when I discovered them. Discovery number 1 – My favorite grunge era […]
