one funky chicken!

Here's a cool band from the UK, who I really like nowadays.  Their vocalist has a mad, light feel on her vocals and they even have a japanese girl as a guitarist who sputters out crazy lyrics on another track called "Milk Crisis". This is the band "The Go! Team" and their song "Wrath of Marcie". Looks old school, but enjoyable.  Other recommended songs are "Grip Like A Vice" and the aforementioned "Milk Crisis. I'll probably buy their album "Proof of Youth" soon enough.

Argh cute girl ahoy!

Check the girl out. She is cuuuu-uute ~~<3  Umm, the beat is pretty good too and Busta Rhymes trying to bust a move is entertaining enough. Now to find out where I can get those "Teriyaki Source" tees.

"Real Thugs Play Electro"

Ah, Imogen Poots, yes, her agents wanted to change her name, since soooo many thinks of flatulence when they hear her last name. No worries, she can take my surname. This is a girl I could marry. Oh yes, a girl that can survive a zombie apocalypse in London in "28 Weeks Later", is a girl worth marrying. Imogen, if you're reading this, please marry me. (No, this is NOT stalker behavior).

Anywhooooo, Long time no see, oh avid readers! I have been gone, going and gone the last month mostly because of a healthy dose of lazyness and some practicing with the saxamaphone! Want proof maybe?

What else? Went to Trondheim to play in the "championship" and getting crunk. There's a lot of crazy people in Tr.heim. But still it was most excellent, mostly because it was being at this HUGE bandcamp convention (BCC) and people were trying to sell you mouthpieces and reeds, cleaning kits and play-along books. Great trip, great trip. And no, no flute up my ass this time. :)

I've also fallen into my yearly "state of weakness" where I lounge on the sofa, coughing up mucus and having wild, fever dreams about Dorothy and Toto, Billy and Jimmy Lee, Hendrix and Marley and of course you guys. I love hallucinations. Ever seen "Across the Universe"? A movie/musical where people sing happy Beatles songs and go acid-tripping while Bono makes a cameo singing: Coo-Coo-Ka-Chooo! ( I am the walrus, I think.)

Yeah here are my saviors, double shot of paracet, vitaminbears and cough syrup, supposed to make me healthy till tomorrow, where I'll embark where a filipino man might not really fit in, not me, that's for sure. We're going to the mountains, a social excursion with the younger staff at work. Prepare to see good pictures when I get back on Sunday.

Anywhoo, wrapping up, download songs from this DJ, Dj Skeet Skeet. He mixes great songs making them waaaay better than before, like "Party Like A Rockstar" (I didn't like the original, but the remix is waay better) and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit ( Tastes Like Skeet Skeet Remix)"

SuperGreat!

How cool is this diorama? When I get a kid, I'm so going to make him make me one. :) I'm at work right now and perpetually bored. There are no calls coming in, which is weird, this being a callcenter and all. As of this moment, I'm awaiting my Hundreds bomberjacket and cap. FedEx was at my door, but I was dead asleep. I really want that jacket now! >_<

No song right now, but I'll put up one as soon as I get home, maybe. Following through is hard thing to do. So to all you loyal readers (currently tallied at: zero), here's hoping the New England Patriots will go for a perfect season next year again!

them benjamins..

It's time for me to step out into a great world again. Destination this time is none other than, Los Angeles, home of the stars! As the picture might suggest, yes, I will spend mucho dinero! Can't wait to be on the West Coast, see what people are talking about and why it's supposed to be such an oasis of grandeur! Any requests on what I should buy over there? :)

Well, before leaving, I will leave you with a snippet of a very nice, french, ending theme. In what movie does the song appear? None other than Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. Yes sir. Enjoy it..

"April March - Laisse Tomber Les Filles"

P.S. Meeting Kobe Bryant in person would be great too. Cheers mates!

good times, bad times, apl times

Rachel Bilson as Wonder Woman. I remember being a wee bit younger and observing how a really great girlfriend can act and be. Summer dressing up for Seth is maybe the highlight for me in "The O.C." Nobody can beat Wonder Woman! Why? Because she's WONDERful. That great pun was uttered by another great actress, Emily Deschanel, also known as Temperance Brennan, in the hit tv-show Bones. Check it.

From a geek point of view, the Emily Deschanel one was more recognisable, but Rachel Bilson was truly the hottest WonderWoman. Wonderful Wonderwoman.

Anywho, I've found a new band to like. Channel Two! Made up by Terence Yoshiaki (founding member and drummer in the Black Eyed Peas in the early days) and Andreas Bingel ( singer, electro/house dj ). Combining "american soul" and "european electro" (yes, this was taken straight from the MySpace site) they manage to fuse a sound that I dig.

On their debut album they have a slew of talented artists, even apl, which is most appealing to me. So listen to "Bringa", featuring apl and nfa (No-Fixed-Abode) and dig the most rockin' flutation ever heard. at least in a while. (Heard the song on One Tree Hill episode 2 btw.)

"Bringa - Channel Two feat. Apl & nfa"

red wine's been a good friend of mine

..it's more like Dr.Pepper's been nice to me. Lately, I've been watching a lot of "Bones" and being a forensic anthropologist seems like mucho fun. But being a genius and earning three doctorates is not. :)

Catching up on Naruto as well, reading 115 manga chapters at work was very rewarding. Finally a series that kills off important characters! some real drama for once. aaaand tomorrow..

Gossip Girl episode 12. Yes, indeed. Can't wait. Obviously N and C are going to have a big fight. my money is on Nate.

Chris Garneau is a cool pianist. He writes weird songs with a way of melancholy about them, being ironic and all. But it is appealing. The song i'm promoting is a song appearing on Grey's Anatomy.. It has a nice ring to it and the piano's steady pulsing in the song is really nice and simple. He writes very clean music without much distortion and meddling, usually found in bigger studio releases. So, please run out and buy his album " Music For Tourists ".

"Chris Garneau - Sad News"

Been a while!

Ah, Samaire Armstrong. Truly a wonderful woman, gaining cult star status as "Anna Stern" in the O.C. Our lives haven't been the same since..

What could I possibly promote today? Well, how about some japanese music again? This time by Puffy AmiYumi, yes the cartoon that runs in the morning and very famous in Japan. Very funky, happy, rock and roll. Even if I can't comprehend most of what is being sung, it's still very catchy. Hope you'll enjoy it. And yes, it featured in Gossip Girl. 

"Nice Buddy - Puffy AmiYumi"

Hero Stai-leee!

Hayden Panettiere. ..I wish I was a hula-hoop, spinnin' in the aaaaaiiir..

There's a good thing coming out of Sweden these days and that is Lykke Li. A girl with an interesting voice, electronica-inspired and very catchy. Her music video "Little Bit" is even 
running on MTV. fun stuff. not much to know about her yet,
but she backed up the "Shout-Out Louds" @ John Dee in
November and hopefully will be back as a solo-act in Norway.

..please enjoy her..

"Lykke Li - Little Bit"

JPN!

Namie Amuro, was recently number 1 on Japan's hit charts.This is a promotional picture used in her tour this year.Too bad she isn't even coming close to where I'm living. 
 
Anyways, she is not the one I'm promoting today.

I was watching TV a couple of days ago and boy, was I surprised when they showed a music documentary about rap and hip hop in Tokyo. The groups they filmed were interesting 
and one of them, Ya-Kyim, talked about their influences,that being among others, Salt-n-Pepa and TLC. 

Me, being an inqusitive person, sought 
to download a song for my own listening pleasure.
When I heard "Happy The Globe",
I really enjoyed the melody and the mix of the group,one being the MC, Miku,and the other two as singers, Alisa and Yurie.

So without further ado, please listen to the song. Arigatou gozaimashta!
