Bleu - Update 2021 - Rare Song Collection

I thought it would be a good idea to give you a quick update for one of my all-time favourite songwriters and musicians: the one and only William Bleu McAuley. 


 In the recent months there were talks of a:

  • L.E.O. - Alpacas Orgling re-release (with an extended tracklist)
  • Bleu Best Of Collection
  • new record (which was almost finished)

Sadly, none of these three records have surfaced yet.

In 2020 and 2021 there were a few new songs:

  • Love You So
  • I Wanna Write You a Symphony
  • Baby By Your Side 
  • Fever Dream
  • Wooo!!
  • Golden Child

Because we still have to wait for new music, I put together a Rare Song Collection, a collection of my favourite songs which had either no official or just a limited official release. Most of the songs you'll find on Youtube, Spotify or Google (I can't give you a download option, sorry).

01 Funny Feelings (with Bill DeMain) (Demo)
02 Somebody Else (RRC version)
03 Glass Houses (Demo)
04 Afternoon Delight ("Besides" Bonus)
05 Take Cover (from "Besides")
06 Sayonara (RRC Version)
07 Save It For A Rainy Day (from "Besides")

Jason Falkner - Biography & Discography

There is this kind of musician who is writing, releasing records and performing his own music for more than two decades - but misses the aim that is chart success? The one who creates stunning music and don't get any recognition by public, but by his loyal fans? One of them is Jason Falkner . To sum it up: he may be one of the most underrated musicians of the last two decades. What a pity! Falkner started his musical career with a band called The Three O'Clock but soon he joined a new band of his former bandmate (Roger Joseph Manning Jr.) - Jellyfish . After the success of the first record ( Bellybutton ) he left the band and said he'll be never again a band member again (where he was clearly wrong). His solo career started in 1996 with Presents Author Unknown , followed with the fabulous Can You Still Feel? . I recommend to listen to Can You Still Feel? from start to finish - there's no filler song, no low point. 2001 was a good year for loyal fan...

I reached out to both of them separately and asked if they could answer a few questions - check it out below. Over the past 20 years, aplenty songs from this album surfaced online and were shared through blogs, fans, and social media. These were mostly demos or low-quality recordings, but in 2024, a seemingly final version of the album appeared on the internet! Kids After Sunset - cover art concept PPS:   Around 2004, Rooney recorded a significant number of songs for their intended second album,  Kids After Sunset - at least twenty-five tracks, as far as I know. The plan was for most of these songs to be included on the album. However, it is said that the record label rejected nearly all of them, claiming they didn’t like any of the tracks, and instructed the band to start from scratch with a completely new album. I...
