Music Monday!

Hi all. Sorry I missed last week but I was on the verge of mental breakdown. I don't even remember listening to music last weekend at all, that's how bad it was.

This weekend was a different story. I made sure to take time to recover sanity.

This is The National with their song Pink Rabbits:




Here's a sneak peak for next week. As you all know it is December and some of you know the theme for December is Christmas via S______ S_______, one of my most favourites



Until next time… SNOW MACHIIIIIIIIINNNNNNE!

Music Monday

Hi. Welcome back.

Well. I've got a real doozy for you this week. I said that I would post what I've been listening to and this time its a real doozy.

Boiler room is a youtube presentation that features DJs doing their thing. It is based in the UK and has many videos. I randomly stumbled on to it because I saw Thom York featured. Then I saw more and more names that I recognized. I listened through Four Tet, DJ Shadow, Thom York and finally Bonobo. Though others put in some interesting sets (especially DJ Shadow), Bonobo was the most fun to listen to. I really enjoyed the entire 50 minutes of the show.

My favourite part of the video is watching the 30 to 40 minute mark when everyone in the room realizes that they have been doing the same movements for the past 30 to 40 minutes and begin to tire. Musically I love the first 4 to 5 minutes. This set has been my constant study companion this week. Whether it is reading or writing I find it very beneficial.

Here he is: Bonobo




Until next time, keep your nobo bo.

Music Monday

Monday's come fast don't they?

Ever had a song stuck in your head so badly that it wakes you up during the night? There are pros and cons I suppose. Con, waking up in the middle of the night. Pro, waking up with a good song in already in your head. Some nights I wake up with my feet moving to keep the beat. Does that qualify as restless leg syndrome?

This group you may recognize for they are indie legends and have a number of hits. This song is no exception. This is Daft Punk with Instant Crush.





Until next time, keep your friends chained close but your enemies chained closer.
