The xx - Crystalised (live)

With beautiful boy/girl harmonies, echoing guitars, and minimal beats The xx's self titled debut album is truly something special. There is a real dreamy but tense atmosphere to this album and sometimes it is not always easy listening. However you get a sense that these four 20 year old's from south west London have a certain maturity beyond their years, as they pull together the slow tempos and whispered lyrics to create something so very unique and original. Here are the xx performing a live version of 'Crystalised'.Enjoy!

Jamie T - If i were a boy (live cover)

I had the pleasure of seeing this man live this week and after seeing him tear it up at last years Glastonbury festival, i knew i was in for a good night.
From the moment Jamie T stepped out with his Pacemakers and opened with 'The mans machine' to ending the encore with 'Sticks and Stones' he had the crowd in the palm of his hand. His older stuff still sounded fresh and relevant and his new stuff blended perfectly as he captivated the crowd with his banter, unique sound and genre blurring music.
If you ever get a chance to see Jamie T live don't miss it but in the mean time check him out putting Beyonce's 'If i were boy' in a completely new context. Enjoy.
