Today's Recommended Listening: Heart - Barracuda
Shifting gears a little bit back to the past.
I've always had a thing for rocker chicks.

Fact: There are Nine artists with this name.
Today's Recommended Listening: Genesis - Justice
If you have a surround sound or even just a woofer, you better turn it up,
because it's time to face JUSTICE

Oh Mothers, Tell Ya Children, not to do the things I've done.
Today's Recommended Listening: House of the Rising Sun - Idris Muhammed
This seed has been growing in me for about a month now.
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS GUY?
Anyway, enjoy what is arguably the BEST cover of the BEST song ever.

Summer Madness
Today's Recommended Listening: Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff (and the Fresh Prince)
It may be a little too early (or is it?)
Just a little something to break the monotony of all that hard core dance that's gotten to be a little out of control. It's cool to dance but how bout a groove that soothes and moves? Romance.

Remember when we'd hear the distant sound of human life?
Today's Recommended Listening: Vision One - Röyksopp
This is one of my top 3 Favorite bands.
Have you ever found one of those albums where every single song was awesome?
This band has not one, but TWO such albums.
Melody AM
Junior - The album Vision One is on.
I like this song for many reasons,
the lyrics strike me, the rhythm suits me, and the sound effects intrigue me.
It was described to me as the sound of 'someone playing a comb as an instrument'.
There was a time when all the shadows of these tall buildings
Would throw their cape around each corner of the grassy field
And one by one, each new shade, would cover the green way back;
Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen
Everybody let us gaze upon the world we created
And let's rest our eyes upon the great machine, as we wave goodbye
Feel the evening breeze caress your smile, the cities are dying
As we watch it fall to a modern state, a modern time
Remember when we'd hear the distant sound of human life?
A zillion noises whip our eyes that travel through the sky
And one by one, each little sound, has faded away with time,
Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen
Everybody let us say goodbye to all our notions.
'Cause there's not enough to say that we're humane, when we're left behind
It's too late to think that we can worship human emotions
'Cause we've already evolved into machines, in our minds

Shame on You
Todays Recommended Listening: Tron Legacy Theme - Daft Punk
I've got some bad news folks. The much anticipated Tron Legacy Soundtrack sucks.
In my opinion. Daft punk failed to deliver. This song here, the Tron Legacy Theme, isn't even on
the soundtrack. The soundtrack is 95% orchestral (just like any other movie) with some
'variations on a theme' type remixing from daft punk. The opening song is the best on the
album, it's all downhill from there. Shame on you Daft Punk, you got lazy.
They should have given the soundtrack to Royksopp or Jusctice, you know? At least
they would have appreciated the challenge and spotlight.
Giving Daft Punk the Tron soundtrack was like giving Donald Trump $100 bucks,
they just didn't appreciate it.

You Shant Escape
Today's Recommended Listening: All Mine - Portishead
I've done a real disservice to Portishead AND TO YOU by not
featuring more of them on this blog. I'm sorry Portishead AND YOU,
I'll make it up to you. I promise.

You ain't just whistlin dixie
Today's Recommended Listening: Alpha Beta Gaga - Air
Apparently, the music video for this song is a serious piece
of sub culture that every 'off-beat' should know.

Tonight's Recommended Listening: Beethoven "Moonlight" Sonata op 27 # 2 Mov 1,2 - Valentina Lisitsa
Doing Exactly What a Coward Would Do
Today's Recommended Listening: A Martyr for My Love For You - The White Stripes
A lot of people don't like the stripes, they argue that music should be more complex.
I used to feel that way too, but the more I listened, the more I was wrong.
Also, Jack White and Meg White are not brother and sister. I don't know where that
rumor started. Jack and Meg are ex husband and wife. Jack took Megs last name because
he thought 'it sounded cooler'. That's the story.

My Grandma, What big headphones you have...
Today's Recommended Listening: The Wolf - Fever Ray
Continuing with OST week, here is a song for a movie that came out this week.
Fever ray is a band that I've been listening to more and more lately.
So when I heard that they are releasing a new song to be used in the movie
'Red Riding Hood' I figure I'll feature it here. Let's see if it can stand
on it's own.
