MP3 Praying Hands - Back To Black (Aceyboy)


Kevin Roentgen, the driving force behind Praying Hands, is a true rock & roll survivor. The Southern California native first entered the spotlight with underground Hollywood rock sensations SOUL, who were signed to EastWest/Elektra; alas, corporate skullduggery at the highest levels resulted in their debut album not seeing a release. Undaunted, Roentgen went on to form American Pearl, which released a self-titled album through Wind-up Records, toured extensively with acts like Creed and 3 Doors Down and had a song featured on the best-selling "Scream 3" OST. After that group had run its course, he signed on with fellow SoCal natives Orson and ended up spending almost two years in England, where the group enjoyed huge success with the Mercury UK album Bright Idea and the single "No Tomorrow," both of which hit No.1 on the UK charts. Now, however, Roentgen has returned to the project that was interrupted by his time in Orson: Praying Hands, a venture which highlights his soulful, passionate voice and understated, yet eloquent, acoustic playing. Inspired by his time in London, Roentgen has now turned out this exquisite acoustic interpretation of troubled diva Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black."

Wild Beasts - Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants (Domino Records)

Leeds, England-based quartet Wild Beasts easily walks away with this month's "Best Song Title" award with "Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants," an intoxicating and infectious number featuring the soaring falsetto of singer/guitarist Hayden Thorpe over the hypnotic backbeat and joyous guitars provided by his fellow "Beasts," guitarist Ben Little, bassist Tom Fleming and drummer Chris "Bert" Talbot. The group signed with Bad Sneakers Records in August 2006, which released the song that December to much acclaim: it won BBC Radio Six DJ Steve Lamacq's "Rebel Playlist" in January 2007 and a month afterward the group signed on with Domino Records. In May 2007 the NME jumped on the bandwagon, listing Wild Beasts among "Ten Bands Tipped for the Top." They recently released their debut Domino album, Limbo, Panto, and during the month of October will be sharing stages in the UK on multiple occasions with buzzin' baby bands Foals and Vampire Weekend. In addition, the group will be performing at the BBC Electric Proms alongside such stellar artists as The Streets, Last Shadow Puppets and XX Teens on October 22 before a weeklong series of continental European gigs in the Netherlands and France in November.

Chart Analysis

Chart Analysis EAGLES OF DEATH METAL GO BACK-TO-BACK: Ah, Los Angeles in October: searing heat, the pervasive odor of the wildfires that are ringing the basin clogging sinuses and seemingly causing the Dodgers to choke on bitter ash, indeed, in game four against the Phillies; throw in the fact that it's about time we were due for another shake, rattle and roll experience via one of the myriad faultlines vivisecting the area and one wonders why they came here in the first place (short answer: shorts in January!). However, the grim litany recited above has failed to deter the savvy minds behind the music on the Mediaguide Alternative Specialty Panel, who for the second straight week make Eagles of Death Metal's "Wannabe in L.A." (Rekords Rekords/Downtown) the top dog on the Song chart, picking up enough spins to also advance 3-2 on the Album index. Hot on the heels of the SoCal desert warriors are the marvelously monikered Scots quartet Glasvegas, who debut at No.2 on the Song side with the self-released "Geraldine," which also picks up enough plays to bow at No.3 on the Album end. Top o' the Album chart honors go to the brothers Gallagher and their mates in Oasis, with Dig Out Your Soul (Big Brother/Reprise) ascending to the top spot. Another impressive debut this week for Stereophonics with "My Own Worst Enemy" at No.3 on the Song chart, helping their new greatest hits collection, Decade in the Sun (Fontana), earn a No.6 showing on the Album index. The other top debut on the Song side this week belongs to Brooklyn-based duo Matt and Kim, whose toe-tappin' ditty "Daylight" (Green Label Sound) bows at No.8 on the Song side, garnering enough plays to also check in at No.16 on the Album chart.
