Introducing the newest feat in your trusty hotel; Hotel84’s monthly compilations.
The first collection is called Dirty December. I’m trying this approach also because people sometimes dislike watching video’s to discover new music. Furthermore there’s also the often unwanted association you get when you watch music video’s. I will always try to keep the compilation interesting by adding old and obscure music but also newer and well known songs to it. Just a mix of songs that I’m listening to and I think are worth sharing.
Enjoy, (in the future I might be adding some artwork to it, so you can print a cover with the actual song titles on it.)
(All uploads will be on rapidshare, because for us Belgians that’s the most reliable one atm.)

Founded in the early 60’s and recently back from the grave, The Remains. They recorded a whole bunch of rock ‘n roll albums with some very tight songs on it. Check it out on their very straightforward site.
To get an idea what they sound like; it’s the Beatles shaking hands with the Stones. (I just realized how absurd that phrase sounds.)

The Dirtbombs, one of the many great Detroit garage revelations. They have the same dirty groove, if not the dirtiest among them. I have listened to this song very often, so I might sound a little biased but this is the kind of song you’ve got to hear a couple of times until you get the hang of it.
I love their dry sense of humor and distorted sound layers, making the guitars sound like a bulldog with a terrible cough. They also have an unusual line-up in the band: A singer, a guitarist, 2 bassists and 2 drummers. I bet seeing them live is quite the party!
The guy dancing to the song is not your average joe. His goal is to dance in different cities for some kind of veggie cause.
The Dirtbombs – I’m through with white girls
It’s been a while since I’ve heard this one, just came across it today and got swooped away again by the magical Elliot Smith. This somehow always reminds me of a cheesy Christmas high school movie. I like it though.
Let yourself drown in melancholy and melody here’s;
Miss Misery – Elliot Smith
