Sometimes the music I listen to clashes with my mood, and often it does so on purpose. Listening to sad music when you're feeling happy is a wonderful feeling, for example. And when I'm down then I tend to listen to more angry music than depressing music, but sometimes that's not quite the case. Sometimes morose moods call for morose music. It's been sort of grey, sitting in this office watching Summer disappear, and there are times when I really do feel like I could do with a holiday. And for some reason this music suits that mood [...]
Definitely sensing some Fleet Foxes influence on this record. Those who are a fan of them should enjoy this song. Be sure to pick up the whole album, "Eleonore" if you do in fact like it.
The Bony King of Nowhere is the project of 24-year-old Belgian composer Bram Vanparys. His honest music, characterized above all by Bram's distinctive voice, claims your heart straight away. Songs are built on melodic backing vocals, guitars and sound layers, as well as the frequent use of unconventional percussion inspired by the Brazilian Tropicália Movement from the 1960s. His lyrics are often theatrical: the virgin Mary addressed by a dying man exalting death from his deathbed ("Maria"), the sunset pictured in a puppet's world ("The Sunset"), the concept of despair painfully anatomized in the schizophrenia theme from the closing song [...]
So this is Day 5 of "Best of 20093 Blogger crew (see what I did there with that picture above this post) and today we have TartyTart from over at Love Shack, Baby out of the windy city. If anyone knows tart, then they know this is the post for (and from) her. It is all in good fun and she is more than a good sport with all us "guy bloggers" in making it her sole purpose to make us blush, and she has done just that on more than one occasion. And [...]
Κυρίες και κύριοι, ladies and gentlemen, mesdames et messieurs.. καλωσήλθατε στον τρίτο διαγωνισμό της εναλλακτικής Eurovision ! Μετά την περσινή νίκη της Ρωσίας ο διαγωνισμός [φανταστείτε ότι] μεταδίδεται από την παγωμένη Μόσχα . Ο οικοδεσπότης σας υπόσχεται ότι δεν θα αλλάξει τουαλέτα κατά τη διάρκεια της μετάδοσης [η κρίση βλέπετε..] Φέτος οι συμμετοχές έφτασαν τις 22, και για κάποιες χώρες η επιλογή ήταν τόσο δύσκολη που από του χρόνου μας βλέπω να φιλοξενούμε και προκριματικό διαγωνισμό για κάθε χώρα [λέμε τώρα.. έχουμε και ζωή ξέρετε! ξαναλέμε τώρα..] [...]
Photo: Guy Sargent . He remembers what the brown owl sounded like while he was sleeping. The man wakes in the frigid morning thinking about women. Not with desire so much as with a sense of what is not. Many days in the woods he wonders what it is that he has for so long hunted down. We go hand in hand, he thinks, into the dark pleasure, but we are rewarded alone, just as we are married into aloneness. - Jack Gilbert, Not the Happiness but the Consequence [...]
Artista: The Bony King of Nowhere Disco: Alas My Love Fecha de lanzamiento: Abril de 2009 Procedencia: Oost-Vlaanderen, Bélgica Sello: Helicopter Ideal para escucharlo: Un domingo de ocio Una de las características más notorias de la sociedad y época en que vivimos es la excesiva cantidad de información con la que lidiamos constantemente. Con respecto a la oferta musical, ocurre lo mismo. Gracias a los distintos medios de comunicación, y sobre todo a Internet, somos blanco de un bombardeo continuo de nuevos artistas, discos, sellos [...]
So, with Gisèle being gone, I'm gonna take care of this Monday for once. Therefore the recommendation of today is my choice. Official Secrets Act caught my eye last week somewhere, they'd been appearing on several blogs I read. They are four boys with a passion for synthpop, or at least that's what their music sounds like. Very eighties too. Their singer has a very distinctive, special voice that gives their sound something extra. Their music is pretty good. I won't say it's the best or most [...]
