That's not where milk comes from...

Today's Recommended Listening: Keyboard Milk - Röyksopp
These guys have been one of my favorite bands for a while now, and they just won't stop making awesome music.

Yet another OST

Today's Recommended Listening: Escape 700 - Chemical Brothers
HANNA is a movie you may or may not hear much about.
I saw it, it was ok. Not really my thing. The movie feels to much like a fairytale.
I like something a little more grounded, nevertheless. The soundtrack was created by
a dynamite electronica group called the Chemical Brothers. They have original beats and a very
middle eastern feel to their songs. I enjoy them and I think you should too.

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

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.

I too, know Kung Fu

Todays Recommended Listening: Clubbed to Death - Rob Dougan
Neo, were you listening to my blog entry about the Matrix OST, or looking at the woman in the red dress?

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,

Today's Recommended Listening: At the River - Groove Armada
I honestly couldn't decide between the live and studio version.
Heads: Feature the Studio version
Tails: You get a link to the live version.

Maybe it would help if I filed things alphabetically...

Today's Recommended Listening: The 10th Sense - Athome Project
I've been on an electronica kick lately.
Royksopp, Massive Attack, fever ray, ladytron, daft punk, justice, zero 7, blah blah blah
I found this song, and many others, through last.fm.
But this song stands out as my favorite.
Plus the 'Sim City 2000'-esque keyboard synthesizer really takes me back. Ya know?
Anyway, this song was not easy to find. I looked EVERYWHERE,
I am a professional Googler, if I can't find it, it doesn't exist.*
Frustrated, I tracked down the artist.
Athome Project is Stian Jacobsen from Stord, an island outside Bergen in Norway.
I contacted him without leaving my overstuffed armchair. Isn't the internet awesome?
You may never enjoy this song as much as I do, but
if you have a favorite band, take a minute to thank them,
send them an email or just post on their wall.
Let them know how much you enjoy their music.
It is awesome when they respond back to you personally.
Also, you never know when they'll send you a link to
download a previously unreleased track for free.

The people thought that they were just being rewarded

Today's Recommended Listening: Sleeping In - The Postal Service
Certainly there are better postal service songs, but
since it hit 70 degrees today, it seemed oddly appropriate.

Crop Circles on the Carpet

Today's Recommended Listening: Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Now for a minor note. This song is haunting.
It's all in the effect that she uses.
Of course the lyrical mastery is also... well.. what did she say?



Anyone who is a regular to this blog knows that I'm a fan of Scrubs.
So see if you see what I saw at the beginning of this live version that
really made me say: WTF MATE? If you do a little research about him,
you'll understand why he's there.

We've Got a War to Fight!

You get a Double Dose Today!
Lucky you!
