Michael Jackson: I'll Be There



Sadie Jemmett: Songs To Beat The Recession #1: I'll Be There by Michael Jackson

In loving memory of Michael Jackson.

Saturday evening at Camden Market. The sky suddenly turned black and it was like it became the night. We were wandering through the stalls and the heavens opened!

Everyone made a run for it to get out of the hail that was coming down thick and fast. We all ran upstairs in to the bar. The place was packed and steaming with people drying off and shaking the hail from their hair and clothes. They were playing Michael Jackson songs back to back and the place was jumping! Alive with his rhythm, energy and voice.

I tell you, there wasn't a hand or foot in that place that wasn't tapping in time to his incredible, unstoppable beat.

love, Sadie x

Leonard Cohen Chelsea Hotel #2 Live


I've been thinking alot about this song this weekend.
Thinking about belonging and how we all need that and want that sense of belonging to something...and how when you try to write a song, very often you are trying to capture that sense of longing .. longing to belong. I think Leonard Cohen does it so beautifully in this song.

ABBA in Poland: Knowing Me Knowing You



This song got me through my mum leaving when i was five and a half.
I've been working on an acoustic version of it and so listening to it a lot with my own daughter.. now seven.. i find it utterly incredible how much comfort and hope music can bring to anyone .. at any age.

thesixtyone - featuring Sadie Jemmett



Our Mission
thesixtyone makes music culture more democratic: artists upload their work for review, but, rather than allow a stuffy suit in a boardroom to decide what's good, thousands of listeners do. The best music automagically bubbles up on our homepage where you can listen to the most popular songs for any genre. It's a quick way to find new music for your iPod powered by pure excitement as opposed to some contrived marketing budget.

Think you've got a good ear? Aside from customizing your experience, creating an account allows you to earn reputation, level up your influence, and collect badges for discovering and recommending good music that others may enjoy. On thesixtyone, tastemaking becomes fun, competitive, and trackable.

We're on a quest to help people fall in love with something new while giving deserving artists an efficient channel for finding their audiences. To learn more about how thesixtyone works, please see our FAQ.


The meaning behind thesixtyone
A road is a road, but sometimes it's more.
Sometimes a road sings.
Drive down Highway 61 and you'll find music everywhere you turn.
Muddy Waters rode the 61.
So did Bob Dylan, Ike Turner, and B.B. King.
Elvis grew up in the housing projects along it.
Highway 61 was the road by which people left to find better opportunities.
And by leaving they took their music to the world.

Come join us on thesixtyone.

100,000 Fans - by Thrillist

100000Fans by Thrillist

The Internet can be wildly effective at helping bands achieve success via grassroots means, like streaming tunes on MySpace, tracking even the tiniest shows on Pollstar, and actually, making sure they never achieve success via BitTorrent. Breaking bands for real, with your help: 100,000 Fans.

100,000's a Venice-based site that's enlisted a team of music-biz experts to curate a small selection of unsigned artists they think have the goods, then gives fans the opportunity to help them "make it", or at the very least, stop "making fries".

The site's tastemakers range from studio engineers to label owners, all of whom've worked with major artists from Diana Krall to Blink 182; once they choose an act, their album's made available to stream/download, alongside a bio and tools to
1) share the tracks (via Twitter/Facebook/email) and
2) help the band out financially via PayPal "donations", with the money you throw in going straight to the artist's fund for expenses like recording/touring/tighter pants.

While they'll gladly accept mountains of cash, support can be "as little as $2", and once the business peeps behind the site see a significant user-generated groundswell for an artist, they promise to help further advance their career via partnerships with online marketers and labels -- helping expose so many people to your favorite new band's music, you'll be forced to hate them.

Three artists are added every week, with current acts including emotive New Zealand singer-songwriter Crofton Orr, hot-chick-led melodic poppers A.M. Pacific, and LA indie rockers Les Blanks, who clearly pride themselves on being wildly effective at French infertility.

SADIE JEMMETT ~ British Songwriter Digs Deep [review from 'Apes for Indie']

SADIE JEMMETT ~ British Songwriter Digs Deep

by Music Blogger @ Apes For Indie

When I first heard this musician’s magic, I was on the front page of http://100000fans.com (a wonderful new site for artists).

The lead song on Sadie’s line-up peeked my interest right away with it’s hooky melody and guitar intro. Then, … the pure and completely unaffected vocals rested upon my eardrums and I was ENTIRELY sold. I then read a bit of her bio…

There was the story of a woman who had lived so fully and sometimes, quite hard, in such a modest number of years. By the sound of it though, I am happy to say she is now thriving musically. On her myspace page, the default picture showed her walking with her daughter, a peak into her life’s main priority, (aside from music of course). What amazed me most was the imperceptible barrier between songwriter and song… something that delivered an emotional reaction. Art is really good, (in my humble opinion), if it summons shared emotion without ‘TRYING’ to. It just poured forth, unedited by ego. This woman is a natural.

I listened to and downloaded the album so I could experience the songs “Entirely” …which just so happens to be the name of the lead track and my favorite on her latest effort: The Blacksmith’s Girl.

[MP3] SADIE JEMMETT: ENTIRELY

*Since I have limited time to blog with, I will only be writing about two songs from each artist featured weekly. I wish I could do more but I will leave that to the professional bloggers and podcasters. My point is, it was VERY tough choosing the second song to write about.* I chose it for personal reasons as it seemed to touch on something I too have experienced:

“Another Way To Be” manages to have an impactful chorus while remaining light as a feather. Nothing is beat into you on the track but you surely get the point.

[MP3] SADIE JEMMETT: ANOTHER WAY TO BE

I hope you will go to the sites mentioned below to check out more of this rare talent. Her videos are not to be missed as you will see the more aggressive side of Sadie and a great deal of musicianship, guitar-wise.

Bravo for Sadie Jemmett! I wish her bundles of success in her career. My hope in writing these blogs is that the artists themselves, like what they hear about their efforts. When I have more followers… I will be re-tweeting the links to all I have written to give them more exposure, which is my other main goal.

By the way, you can donate to this artist @ http://100000fans.com and download the album for free.

Here is the link to her official website as well. Note the tabs that connect to multiple social networking sites that she is on. Impressive: http://sadiejemmett.blogspot.com

After reading Sadie’s bio, I wished I, myself had some money to invest in her talent.

Ed Harcourt at The Union Chapel

edharcourtblast.jpg
I don't know where music is going right now... but i hope it is in the direction of Ed Harcourt.

The first song, which included the vocal genius of the opening act,
The Langley Sisters, was like a modern day Cohen number, heavy with masculine truth. And words, lifted by beautiful female harmonies...gorgeous...

He also invited some great friends and guest vocalists up on stage to perform various songs and collaborations with him, and I leave thinking that what I like best about the concert... aside from his brilliant band and songs... is his openness to music and how it is created .. and his ability to portray that to an audience.

What is forgiveness?

What is forgiveness?
People talk about it as an act... something you do, like going to the shops or making a cup of tea...
People ask to be forgiven as if you have a choice - as if it is a tap you can switch on or off...

I say forgiveness is a place.
A place you arrive at when you have fully realised and processed whatever it was that needed to be forgiven.
It is a beautiful, peaceful landscape you suddenly find yourself in after a very long hard drive.

Toots and the Maytals at The Forum


Check this video out -- Toots & the Maytals 54-46 was my number.

I've just seen the genius that is Toots and the Maytals...
Saw them last year at the forum and this year in a smaller venue but it was the same. From the minute Toots walks on stage there is Love in the room.. and you are swept up into a frenzied state of unity... words and music... mingle and merge into one pulsating beat and you go into a trance lke state.. you are transfixed by Toots Hibbert... by his energy... by his Love ... by his sheer force of being.. and yet it appears effortless on his part, I think because, for him that love and that unity and that power is always there. It is a pool that he can tap into at any time... and it is called Reggae Music.

Sadie Jemmett live at The Borderline - June 4th

Hi there,
I'll be performing with Amy Speace at The Borderline London.
