Asa's back!

2012-02-03T13:51:00.002-07:00

A long time ago, back in the days of myspace (and before he had to delete his account), Asa Taccone had some delicious beats to listen to on his page. I even remember messaging him a few times about something, it kills me I can't remember. Before the hard drive crash of '09, I had 'taken' some of his songs and I remember there was a really really amazing one and I want to hear it againnnnn.

Now, he has a band called Electric Guest, very good musica.

christmas singles

2010-11-30T00:38:00.003-07:00

...of The Killers that is. The new one came out today called "Boots"
plus all proceeds go to the (RED) campaign.

In honor, I shall post the videos for the four prior to this new one:

#1 A Great Big Sled
oh the first single. the magic, the glory. I still love this song, listen to it year round. fantastic.

#2 Don't Shoot Me Santa
probably the best single so far, and the video is just priceless. It's nice to have a comical xmas song once in a while (per esempio: grandma got run over by a reindeer...yeaaa)

#3 Joseph, Better You Than Me
elch, just elch. If I wanted to listen to a classic xmas song, I would, but don't try and make one. I fall asleep listening to it. In a bad way....

#4 ¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe!
listened, but never have had a proper, super listen. so it's still floaty to me.

#5 Boots
enjoyyyyy

NEW NEW NEW! White Lies!! NEW!

eyyyyyyyyye love them
The more I listen to this song, OY LUSCIOUSNESS, I love it.
video is....typical white lies, a bit odd with some genius you know is there.

Would you say....

2010-10-21T21:14:00.001-07:00

John Legend is pop and Maroon 5 has some R&B in some of their songs?

Is race still deciding what type of genre we expect a certain artist to be?

Does content determine what a genre is made of? why must we explain music in certain genres...

yes, there are major differences between music but in some way they all can overlap with minor similarities. Most songs have the basic structure. The ones I can think off of on the top of my head that don't are jazz and ambient types (GENRES!)

hmmmmm

"this song must have been made in heaven..."

2010-10-11T23:41:00.000-07:00

one of the comments is the title for this post. I can say no better about this song.

Only The Young

2010-10-07T01:14:00.000-07:00

...
came out a week ago, how did I just find out about this video???

I truly like this album. Some of the songs are so spot on, and oh so good, including this one.

pretty nice imagery throughout as well.

It's herrrrre

2010-09-14T15:08:00.000-07:00

I'm not as excited as I would be, but I still had to have it the first day out and I was the first one to get it in my local record store (aka Target (Yea, I know, sucketh) because this city SUCKS, and tower, oh sweet tower records, is gone)

RANT: solo artist breaking away from the band?
you sing in the band, you sing solo.
you have a band, you have a band backing you up for solo

sooooo, why not use that band to help you record?
I see, I see, they DON'T want to help you, since it's your own little project, si?
it just seems weird

yes the regular band probably has input for the musical elements (WHICH IS GOOD)
But you want your own drums/guitar/bass (since you regularly control the synth anyway, so it's all yours to begin with (oh carl....))
aye carumbaaaa

non-music related

SU Football: Clogging Up the Middle

Best Coast

2010-08-06T23:06:00.001-07:00

I would like to thank the cool street fashion photographer, Mr Newton for posting this AWESOME lazy fuzzy goodness of a song.

Although I disagree with their band name, being obviously from california. We ALL know the best coast is the EAST.
and there's a clown, albeit it's like ronald mcdonald, who is still MCCREEPS! no clowns. no.

goody two shoes (sexy) pop music

2010-08-03T21:04:00.000-07:00

ok pop songs are slightly cheesy, everyone should love them (secretly OR publicly, your choice)

I saw the new Maroon 5 music video for their new single, "Misery" hot damn, SEXY and yet truthful lyrics about stupid significant others (OR friends...) that are lame and don't reply to things....
"Why won't you answer me?
Your silence is slowly killing me"

ohhh good guitar hooks, subtle bass lines that draw you in and blasts you during the chorus, simple drums...
ok just listened to "Makes Me Wonder" and the guitar riffs are VERY similar... hmmm

Adam Levine looks like a more sexy, player full-o-swagger J-Schwartz (that's jason schwartzman to all yous) only in this video though.
(and the girl's style is hot, hairstyle is a little over played, but they probably filmed it when it was just starting to peak anywayyyy)

I will confess that I despised Maroon 5 at the beginning of their career (I am not a super huge obsessive fan, but I dig them. I don't have their second album however but have some gathered singles and may purchase the rest of the album later this week...) "Harder To Breathe" was played on the radio WAY WAY WAY WAY TOOOOO MUCH, as all 'new hot singles' are and it was death. I was with my god-family (is that right?) and my god-sister and she had their CD and played it in the car and I found to like them. I love their first CD. Now I may just LOVE their new CD but with just the single to munch off of, I don't know how far my love will last without some more poppy, older Levine and poppy drum kicks.

yes, it's stupid vevo. apologizes if there is an advert.

GIFT!

oh hellllllllllllls yes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS

What's Golden - Jurassic 5

forgot about this song until I went snooping around on the interwebs. classic. they've been around for ages, same type of genre as tribe, the genre known as awesome, and you know I LOVE tribe. exceeeept jurassic 5 are west coast. not a lover of west coast.
one of those dumb ass early 00's videos though too. oy

this song makes me want to put on my tims (which I did earlier today - holy crikeys I forgot how heavy they were) and rollll around my ol' hooood: COMPTON....road. ha

HAHAHAHAHA

2010-07-11T23:37:00.000-07:00

very unrelated, but so so hilarious

Crossfire

2010-07-08T12:58:00.000-07:00

that's what I think of

but this is good too...

I love this song. I love The Killers (oh so so so so so so so much)
video: ninjas... they really want brandon for some reason and charlize theron comes and kicks ninja ass bunches of times to save the boy brandon. and then he smiles at her.
its not a bad video, compared to, let's say, the disaster of the Spaceman vid (don't get me started...)

seeing the different contraptions b.flo was caught in though certainly was a laugh. (and the b.flo groupies I know are oogling him being tied up, sweaty, water thrown on him, etc. et ceteraaaaaa. I will not lie and say that first outfit of the cutie suspenders and the parted hair was adorable. maybe I just like the 1800's dr. quinn look)

good song. that's my input. I do NOT like that the UK gets the album released A FREAKIN WEEK ahead of the US, it's usually just the day before. ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's just asking for it to be leaked. seriously.

more classics

my plans

2010-07-05T15:41:00.001-07:00

I'm going to drink and listen to M83.

also I've noticed a trend that all the kick-ass albums of bands that have at least 3 or 4 albums out now, their first really awesome album came out in 2005. no wonder that's when I fell in love with the brits. crikeys.

"A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You find she's gone and made a change"

that B.B. King is FANTASTIC stuff (the version I have, my ma insisted that I look up the Jordan and Billy Austin lyrics and Louis Jordan original. pish posh)

and you can never, ever go wrong with cartoons, specifically tom and jerry <3

QUESTION/High Fidelity

2010-06-15T22:45:00.000-07:00

Q: Which musicians of the last two decades have had the most lasting impact on music as we know it today?
I stole that from LJ, quite subjective, of course. (btw can I go back to writing about subjective topics and having to do papers and such. organic chemistry is not for me. (side note: need it for grad school pre-reqs. boooo) GIVE ME ART HISTORY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!)
A: coming later

and last night I watched high fidelity for the first time. THE FIRST TIME. why now?
maybe I should organize my music auto-biographical...
although I definitely DO NOT have as much of an extensive collection as him

"Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"

mm good goood GOOD GOOD movie. I swear everytime I watch a john cusack movie, I fall in love with him. then I forget about him, watch another one of his movies and fall back in love. ah john cusack.

edit: stop following me around High Fidelity!!!

I just watched it for what seemed like the fourth time this month. oh hulu, you make my love for john cusack exponentially grow.
