electric feel me up

hey!

so this is way over due... and i don't have too much time to go into er'rything, but i think its important to get it out there more than the delay for good measure:

MGMT: Electric feel. this is the song of last weekend when i went skiing in tahoe. i had been hearing it since summer, but it finally clicked in to be awesome this weekend. other notables on the album: Kids and The Youth.

Bon Iver: I had mentioned him before... he's made the cut. like jose gonzales, with a bit of drums. still super good.

Johann Johannson: AWESOME. Icelandic goodness at its best... kinda sigor ros-ish, but different, but awesome. ohh... that just made me think of the baby killer in belgium. but its not like that at all... JJ is pure happy happy goodness robot fun, with less electronica than sigur ros (which if you don't know of, is super awesome, good study music/sleep music... and they created their own language which all the songs are in... icelandic intonations, but entirely elvish in that way!)

Marlena Shaw: kick back from like the 60's or 70's. power voice... good muzak.

speaking of muzak, there is the vitamin string quartet that does popular music via cello and viola and 2 others... good times with the kickbacks!

just started listening to a band called "Why?" but not sure they're going to make the cut.

sorry i didn't write sooner or include vids or awesome pics...

respect.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light

I just stumbled across Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and I had to make it my first post of the year 2009. There's just a few things that need to be pondered before I go right into the video. First off, why would he choose the name Meat Loaf? I mean who really enjoys eating meatloaf? I'm gonna go out on a limb, but I'm guessing really only the elderly enjoy meatloaf because 1) It's good on the gums and 2) They've lost their taste buds. Secondly, the name Meat Loaf is not a flattering one.
Ok enough said. Gross. Moving on...I love this song. It makes me laugh and whenever I hear it I want to just belt out the female solo..."Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? Will you take me away and and will you make me your wife?" Hahaha! YES! This is also a ridiculously long song...8 1/2 minutes! It is also a very strange music video and you can really tell Meat Loaf is feeling it.

Slumdog Millionaire

I've been waiting to long for some epic inspiration so i could update the huge number of fans on this online diary!

Slumdog Millionaire... best movie i've seen in a while. and i've watched a lot of movies recently. the scenary really makes me want to go travel,the music was a perfect mix of indian flava and hip hop... at perfect times. i've never so noticibly been emotionally attached to the highs and lows of a movie which blended from one experience to another. i laughed, cried, anticipated, epiphanized... you name it! seriously, you two readers (you know who you are) you must see this movie together STAT (p.s. i've liked saying that word in the ER recently except adding "istically". for example if someone asks me to do an ekg, i ask if they need it STATistically, or just normal speed... i'm awesome).

anyways, since the music is so awesome in the movie, you might have to wait to see it in theaters statistically before you listen below, but if you must get your aural fixation, i have included some clutchness below.
