MP3 Exclusive: Eli Mardock “Everything Happens for the First Time”


It is with great pleasure that On Air with Virgin Mobile premiered the title track off Eli Mardock‘s debut full length album Everything Happens for the First Time, set to drop on Paper Garden Records July 9th. Eli, of course, is well known and loved for his helming Eagle Seagull, a band adored by everyone from Florence and the Machine to The B-52s. Last year he took everything into his own hands with critically claimed solo eps Hamburg and NE Sorrow is Born. As a follow up Eli enlisted former Seagull members drummer Andrew Tyler and keyboardist/violinist (as well as Eli’s now wife!) Carrie Butler for help with the full length endeavor. Taking its title from the Jorge Luis Borges poem “Joy“, “Everything Happens for the First Time” is an exuberant song of liberation (that also leaves us pining for an announcement of live dates). Summer, meet your new anthem. Vinyl and digital can be pre-ordered here and here. Now excuse me while I go run out in the middle of the field and twirl excessively, and while I do that download the mp3 below watch the exquisite video for “Cut Me Open” after the jump.

Virgin Records Turns 40!


“Disruptive innovation is not a tactic. It’s a mindset.” – Sir Richard Branson

In what is sure to be the best company birthday blowout EVER, check out the trailer for Virgin Records‘ 40th birthday. It’s a great reminder of just how many iconic artists and hits Virgin has launched over the years. With a roster that’s unveiled Human League‘s “Love Action” to Daft Punk‘s “Around the World” it has me speculating just what could be in store for the celebrations! Alright, more like projecting. A girl can dream. ALSO – Virgin put out both Malcolm McLaren‘s “Buffalo Girls” AND Neneh Cherry‘s “Buffalo Stance”? Methinks we have a conspiracy. ANYWAY, register your name on the official Virgin 40 website for the inside scoop, and get schooled on the A-Zs of the legendary label family here.
