blow me silly

i lied.
i lied about that being the only video i will post.
this really made me love arcade fire unconditionally.

they start playing in the elevator
and walked to play in the midst of the crowd.
the things they do to make music
tearing paper from a magazine..
some would call it noise
its definitely music to me.

its just amazing..an awesome idea
this mobile orchestra makes a wonderful cacophony.
just set me on fire.

what a wonderful job la blogotheque has done.

now heres a song for every local radio to play
it took me more than 6 months to find this.
i have no idea why since
its so popular in some countries.
enjoy it.

mat kearney-where we gonna go from here

everyone likens his voice to chris martin’s
some even claim its really him.

some loud thunder

it seems like the lead vocalist alec ounsworth of
clap your hands say yeah
has someone grabbing his balls while he sings
but in actual fact his voice grabs you instantly.

it may not appeal to you immediately
but its not surprising that their dark emotion-filled music
is so infectious even david bowie is an admirer.

while most sophomore albums disappoint,
some loud thunder does not stray from
making music which startles, trips and steals your soul.
incredible stuff.

just dont compare it to the first album.that was pure genius.
take your time with this album and for once,
the hype is not just about the hype.

perfect for undercurrents of heavy heavy emotion
where gravitas and not fleeting cheap thrills is desired.

clap your hands say yeah-love song no.7clap your hands say yeah-yankee go home

from the first self-titled album which stunned everyone…

clap your hands say yeah-details of the war
clap your hands say yeah-over and over again(lost and found)

i am the eggman

probably the only video i will post on this site.
jude.
oh jude.
hey jude.
i hope this movie ends up as beautiful as what i expect it to be.
stimulating..visually, emotionally and in every way possible.
its like begging for your attention without seeming pathetic.

talkin about them..if you remember a couple of months back
those who are still alive plus the martins and the witch yoko decided to do experimental mixes for a collaboration with cirque du soleil
and the result was a soundtrack called love.

it was a slight departure from the originals
and didnt change much of it
but its the beatles.
i cant see any part of them and their music which desires change.
they were that close to perfection.

heres a different version of one of the greatest songs everfrom love.

the beatles-i am the walrus (love remix)

i am the eggman.
lets go across the universe.
see how they fly like lucy in the sky see how they run.
stupid bloody tuesday.

you say party!we say die!


you say party!we say die!
is on this earth with a sole purpose.

to make you and me dance like idiots.
and you thought the only anthem named monster is by the automatic.

these talented and dancey vancouver-based pop punks
made a statement with their previous album hit the floor
but are out to make a bigger statement by signing with paper bag records, home to indie darlings tokyo police club,stars and uncut.

and they just released a new album 20th march!
its called lose all time.

touted to be a ‘brilliant, spastic celebration of hyperactive outbursts
and meditative moments’,
you’re gonna lose your sense of time
when you dance to you say party!we say die!

you say party!we say die!-monster (awesome!)
you say party!we say die!-teenage hit wonder

weekend without makeup

weekend without makeup.

sometimes i see God more clearly in the little details of life than within the four walls of a church.i do not have enough faith to be an atheist.”
- a series of non-events by sean of anothercigarette.com

the long blondes-weekend without makeup
(someone to drive you home)

this song is 11/10 if you dont already know about them.[website] [myspace]

some music for your weekend agenda suicide..
a few tracks off some new/unreleased albums

air-once upon a time
(pocket symphony)


bright eyes-no one would riot for less
(cassadaga)


mika-relax,take it easy
(life in cartoon motion)

now eschew the fuckin makeup.
and have a straight up fuss-free weekend.

boys boys boys..

from boy kill boy to the whitest boy alive
here comes the happiest of them all
the boy least likely to.

im gonna force my neices and nephews to listen to them(im serious)
girls are gonna love this band
boys are gonna go ‘twee like fuck!’ and act like they detest them.

but this band is so happy it makes everyone gay.
now wtf are you thinking its harmless childrens music we are talking about.

the boy least likely to-be gentle with me
the boy least likely to-i’m glad i hitched my apple wagon to your star

[myspace]

of 2 million people watching the infamous boys dancing on treadmills and grannies dancing next to treadmills.(bloody speechless..these grannies are cooler than you.)
please watch the 2 videos.

OK GO-here it goes again (catchy catchy catchy!)

its just a joy watching 4 grown men acting like boys and old folks dancing.
who cares about the young folks??

the go find

the go find sounds really really familiar and its
not because they rip off another band’s sound
but because they are so soothing to the ears its like having an eargasm.

light electronica accompanied with velvet-smooth vocals for whenever you are feelin a little lazy and hazy and nothin seems easy to listen to.

the go find is from antwerp, belgium.
their 2nd and latest album is named stars on the wall.

the go find-dictionary
the go find-25 years

it sounds really sincere even when he says that you are always in between lies.
it goes so well with the light drizzle thats happenin right now.
i hope you find them too.

the amy winehouse-rehab link is reupped, i uploaded the wrong song before that.

apples in stereo on a sunday afternoon

if it were up to the apples in stereo
the world is made of energy.
songs like these really make your day.

but dont think for one moment they are your regular sunshine indie-pop band.
with a name like apples in stereo i dont blame you for the confusion.

classified as powerpop/psychedelic, they can really perk you up and feed your inner demons at the same time.

they have 10 songs which are less than a minute in between which really shows their mutiple yet exciting personas.
this also explains why they have 24 songs on the album.a rarity these days.

dont worry theres quality with the quantity.

apples in stereo-energy
apples in stereo-joanie don’t you worry

low happening | aussie lovin

sorry bout the low happening the last couple of days
have been down with the sickness cos of damned BBQ wings.
i believe i just wrote the last few sentences just to slot low happening in.again.

there are many things to love about australiacoopers ale,victoria bitter,
holly valance,naomi watts
the presets, and hell lots of indie i havent discovered from there and i wonder why since they are practically next door.

now theres howling bells to add to the list.
rock your socks with juanita stein the lead vocalist who has this voice…
this voice i cant put down because its so effin effin unique.
you either like love that voice rotten or hate it.
no two ways about it.i happen to adore it.
they simply blew me away.

that was 6 months back and they still amaze me.
their self-titled album howling bells has been around since mid 2006
but i have this inkling you cant stop listenin to them.

now someone please tell me girls cant rock like we guys do.
i suddenly feel emasculated.

buy the album here and its even cheaper with the long blondes!!!
killer.

howling bells-low happening
howling bells-broken bones

video video video.
