Hello!
As you can see, this is my first post.
Because of that, I guess a introduction wouldn't be a bad thing! :)
My name is Niek, I'm Dutch, 18 years old and I make music under the name Yoshimi!.
Yoshimi! is not a band, it's just one person, me! I usually make music, alone, with my trusty computer and instruments. I don't want to brag, but I play a lot of instruments. Here are some in which I am more qualified: Cello, Conga, Guitar, Synth, Bass, Bongo, Tarbuka, Rababa, Harmonium, Trumpet, Accordeon, Euphonium, Drums, Ukulele and some other small things... Every instrument, or better said, everything you hear on my songs is played, sung, yelled or squeezed by myself. I also do my own vocals, production and artwork. What I don't do is using samples by other artists. Oh... Yeah! And I also make videos!!!
You can check me out at http://www.yoshiminotaband.com/ and www.myspace.com/yoshimiaintdead.
But I havn't made this blog for self-promotion, but more to get some new music to you which you otherwise might never had heard.
I've read a lot of blogs the lost couple of years and what always suprises me is how little obscurities actually can be found by certain new and popular artists!
Let me give you a example, here I have for you a live cover version of 'Searching For Mr Right' and T2's 'Heartbroken' by Neon Neon, performed for BBC Radio 1.
You can see the video here: XXXXXX
And you can download the song in mp3 here:
Neon Neon - Searching for Mr Right / Heartbroken (mp3)
I'm pretty sure this is the only place where you can download this song in a mp3 at the moment.
But I really enjoy this and can listen to it anywhere.
My aim is to make this sort of obscurities avaiable to you for your pleasure! :)
Well anyways, I hope you like it too!
I'll be back pretty soon with more stuff like this!
Bye!
Niek
PS: Here is another good rip of something you can't find at too many places:
It's a live version of a 'New Song' by Jamie Lidell...
Here it is:
Jamie Lidell - New Song (mp3)
And here's the video:
