Flowerpot Men "Beat City " promo single from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. John Hughes never released the soundtrack for purchase because he didn't think anyone would actually want it. He did, however, create a few hundred of these 45's and gave them out at promotional screenings. This is the song that plays as Ferris, Sloan and Cameron are driving the Ferrari around Chicago's loop. Taken from the original promo 45, Enjoy!

The Flowerpot Men - Beat City (From Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

This was inspired by the Raymond Carver short story of the same name. Recorded using a Tascam DP004 and then mixed in GarageBand.

lyrics

The plates keep coming
“We’re not always like this,” he says.
bread and butter disappear

The fat man is at table 12
Clearly lacking control
Apologizing, while stuffing his face

They stare and snicker
He remains delightfully polite
Sweating, eating, self-conscious
Hypnotic sausage fingers flying

Today, we can’t help ourselves
No we can’t help ourselves
Can’t help ourselves from fear

Rudy’s waiting for me
With his apron in hand
He makes a joke
“Your fat boyfriend’s disappeared”

Rudy doesn’t ask, he takes
And I don’t stop him
He’s on top and I’m…
A cold fish

Suddenly I’ve fattened up
Rudy is a speck of dust
My thoughts offer escape
He doesn’t care

Today, we can’t help ourselves
No we can’t help ourselves
Can’t help ourselves from fear

Dead to his touch,
My body continues to grow
Can’t feel his presence anymore
He’s isn’t there

I feel a sense of control
I don’t need him at all
Size of an island
He’s unaware

The fat lady sings this song
Released from her modern day bonds
Rita don’t you understand?
He’s outta here

Things are gonna change soon
Things are gonna change soon
Things are gonna change soon…dear

Black Twig return with their third long player Blaze On A Plain, released via Soliti In April 2016.

To wet your appetite for such exciting news, the band share the first single from the album, 1998. Possibly the band's most melodic cut of music yet, 1998 share's an affinity with the best music made with guitars, drums and bass. Yes, as the song intones, 'it's somehow cathartic' . Oh yeah, and did we mention uplifting?

A video accompanies 1998, with Black Twig commenting "It's not about nostalgia, it's more like a visual memory. It is what it is. Shot on digital8 with our friends in Helsinki. We love you!"

American Fool

So I posted a video of me playing this song last Saturday and the response has been amazing, 12k views and counting, which is insane. Anyway, for the people who wanted to have it as an audio file (and people who didn't) here's a rough mix/master of the song and if you want to watch the video here are the links:

Here's the original video's description:
A reverb drenched, tipy-tapy, live-loopy song for summer, probably the most upbeat thing I've made in a very long time. Very much influenced by bands like And So I Watch You From Afar and From Monument To Masses 
Thanks

Chosen exclusively by Toyota as their number one song to promote their "Flip The Script" campaign,  this August sees Matthew Heyer returning to his ascending Heyer Music imprint with his brand new summer crossover single titled “Better Love”.  Following three huge singles under his belt already, Matthew recruits the vocal talents of UK singer/songwriter River - best known for her worldwide Spotify hit “Fast Car” collaboration with Tobtok, aswell as teaming up with his good friends and relative newcomer Bekant.  The producer, who's garnered a name for himself by remixing Sia’s ‘Chandelier (over 2.5 million plays on Soundcloud) as well as the remixing the likes of chart toppers Coldplay and Ed Sheeran, is considered to be one of France’s rising stars.

The new single, “Better Love,” finds Heyer & Bekant delivering a funky upbeat sun-drenched future classic, this time with River (28 million streams on Spotify for “Fast Car”) on vocals before her next single drops this summer. The artists’ collaboration is undeniably a current sounding catchy pop number in “Better Love” - a sure-fire anthem for Summer 2017 and beyond when it drops August 25th via Heyer Music.
