I caught this on Big Sonic Chill the other night and I realized that this was an album I hadn't really listened to in a bit.
I bought the new Belkin TuneBase 3 last weekend, so I've taken to listening to my ipod to and from work. It's been on shuffle the past few times and I love the shuffle feature. Songs have been popping up that I haven't heard in years and it's been pretty fantastic. Yesterday a Deftones song came on and I about wrecked my car. Tonight on the way home Powderfinger came on and I remembered how much I liked this band.
I have been listening to Cold War Kids like crazy the past few weeks. I can't get enough, which is funny because I didn't really like the album when I first heard it.
Remember how I was on my Mark Ronson kick all of last year? Yeah, still on it. AAAAANYHOW.
I listen to his radio show almost every Friday. EVR. Authentic Shit, yada yada. He threw this mix in from Adele that he worked on and I was like "OMFG the radio show could end right there". It's still my favorite part of the show. EVR 11.9.07 if you're interested.
So Adele recently released an album called 19. Even though she's from Tottenham, I still dig her. So as I promised in an earlier entry, here are my 3 favorite tracks from her. Please buy this album!
Thank you,
Mgmt.
This week I got me some:
-Santogold (that I cannot share, unfortch)
-Jim Noir (which I can and will share)
- Some pretty good DnB which I will be more than happy to share if I can find the damn CD
- Adele who is simply AMAZING
- Estelle, who despite working with Kanye West is still utterly AMAZING
- New bands to <3, courtesy of Indieboy who always brings forth the good tunes
I only look forward to the Zune commercials because of this song, Steve. I swear it.
Let's just hop right to summer. I'm ready for those lazy days (of which I plan on many) at the beach. Even with the rugrats, I shall be at the pool or at the beach. SP
F 50 since I discovered that I burn (seriously, wtf grandpa?!) and with some good music.
So here is one of the songs that has me excited for the lazy days of summer...and kind of makes me wish I lived in the country.
I'm really starting to like this holiday. It's official.
First off, prompted by the We <3 Music Ratt post, I thought I may as well post my "Year of the Rat" song here.
My mother, feeling jealous that I didn't bring her any yummies from my previous Chinese New Year post wanted to go get some Chinese. Since I could eat Chinese all day every day, we set off to our local until we remembered about this Pei Wei place. I'm not a big fan of chain Chinese as they tend to be over priced, over booked and underwhelming *cough PF Changs cough*. This place was really really good and we got enough food to feed 4 people for only $24. If you have one in your area, check it out and try the Spring Rolls!
I'm going to go back to my food coma before I wake up and take the rugrats to Chuck E Cheeses - they've been really good this week and I'm a masochist. If I don't come back, please check under the ball pit!
Finally! Apple let us all in to the song on the Macbook Air commercial. I love this song. Everyone else at work is sick of me singing it. Anyhow, I will share and enjoy and try to dig up more info on her tomorrow. She's fabulous!
I heard this song in the car today, and after listening to the lyrics I feel it's especially appropriate for today. This song is best listened to at high volume. Wonder if I could contact the label for We <3 Music?
"Time to Pretend"
I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends.
We were fated to pretend.
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms.
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home.
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
we'll find some more models, Everything must run its course.
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.
We were fated to pretend.
