New Music Friday: “Somebody That I Used To Know”

By Jill | Published: February 3, 2012

For New Music Friday, we want to present to you “Somebody That I Used To Know”, the song that everyone has been talking about. It’s by Gotye, (pronounced go-tea-yay), a Belgian-Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. This song has been dominating the charts and we are absolutely drinking the cool-aid!

Listen to the song below, and also check out the amazing cover by Canadian indie-band Walk off the Earth. We didn’t even know about the Walk off the Earth cover until TuneUp Newsletter-reader Hilly Leopold recommended it to us – so, big thanks to Hilly!

Here is the Gotye version:

And, the Walk off the Earth version:

Thank You + A Sneak Peek at 2012

By admin | Published: January 27, 2012

Dearest TuneUp Community -

It would be hard for us to welcome the New Year without an honest, heart-felt thank you for all of your love, support and patience in 2011. We know that the past year wasn’t without its bumps along the road, but we’ve learned a ton, and are really looking forward to the months ahead in 2012. We welcome every single piece of feedback from our users, and will make addressing your grievances and continuing to build a better product top priority this year.

With that said, we also wanted to share some of the exciting things we have planned for 2012:

First are foremost, we’ll be releasing TuneUp 2.4 in the coming weeks. TuneUp 2.4 is a major stability release that will address a number of the performance issues that some of you have been experiencing. More on what’s included in that when it’s ready…

Support for lyrics by the end of the year. This is probably one of the most commonly suggested feature from our users. We listened, and we’re building a great platform to give you the ability to (correctly) belt out your favorite songs when you want to.

A super-cool mobile app. We can’t say much more than that right now, but we’re really excited about bringing some of TuneUp’s power to your mobile experience.

We wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you, and once again want to truly thank you for your support.

Onward and upward,

The TuneUp Team

By Jill | Published: January 25, 2012

You may have seen our post last week that highlighted some of our favorite songs of 2011, and compiling that list got us thinking about all of the cool album art we saw this year. It also made us realize that there was a decent amount of, well, strange album art! With that in mind, we wanted to see what you all thought and run a TuneUp Contest!  So, what was the strangest album cover you’ve seen this year?

Let us know which artist and album you thought had the most intriguing, bizarre and all around strange album art and you’ll automatically be entered to win a $50 gift card to Amazon.com!

TuneUp Playlist: 2011 Favorites

By Jill | Published: January 23, 2012

2011 was quite the year for music. We thought it was so wonderful that we made – gasp – a two hour playlist! We really dug some new folks like Yuck, Those Darlins and San Francisco locals Thee Oh Sees; and also loved fantastic new releases from TuneUp favorites Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Wilco. This definitely does not cover all of the great music that graced our ears this year, but in any case, sit back, relax & enjoy!

What were some of your favorites from 2011? Share your thoughts below!
