I think I'm going to start posting my music reviews here, since this thing has music uploady capability. Reviews are much better when you can actually hear what I'm talking about, so I sound like less of a madwoman when I write some rambling description of the awesomeness of the breakdown and bridge of that one Ace of Base song or whatever.
(Yes, I'm the last Ace of Base fanatic in North America. Go figure.)
Upcoming reviews: Lady Sovereign's new long-player, Justin Timberlake, Jem, Anti-Flag, and Gabriel & Dresden. Stay tuned.
You know, the modifier "delicious" is sort of implied when talking about candy. So why then do the words "delicious candy" go so well together?
Hey, the music uploader on this thing is neat. I've uploaded a few dnb tracks, and the best pop song ever, so take a listen if you have a chance.
Johnny Boy - "You Are the Generation That Bought More Shoes and You'll Get What You Deserve"
No more perfect a pop song has ever been written. It has handclaps, exuberant YEAH YEAH vocals, and a drum beat and production style to rival anything Phil Spector ever kicked out. If this song doesn't make you smile, deliver your body to the nearest science lab, because you must be dead.
Unknown Error - "Shadows (Unicron Remix)"
The original version of this song is the most epic nerdcore dee-bee tune I've heard, and the remix manages to 1up it. I love strings over breaks and dirty, dirty bass sounds.
Temulent - "Chi Reshape"
Originally a Todd Buckler choon put out on my friends' label, remixed by the ever vicious Temulent for his and Submerged's sub-label, Obliterati. This was probably the second drum n bass track I ever (consciously) heard, making it one of the foundations of my musical adventures today.
Psidream - "Secret Life"
Again with strings, breaks, and bone liquefying bass. Arguably one of my favorite drum n bass tracks ever. I have this one on 10" vinyl from the Ohm Resistance/Offshore subscriber series. I used to hook up my computer to my mixer so I could play it on infinte loop, record to MP3 and back again.
DB and Stakka - "Groupies"
A tight tune with a catchy hook from two of the guys who were instrumental in bringing drum n bass to the US via Breakbeat Science in NYC. Also found as the opening track on DB's Breakbeat Science compilation. It's the one with the cute dinosaur illustration on the jewel jacket.
Testing moblog capabilities
//EDIT:
Sweet, apparently I can send SMS from my phone to here. For, uh, what that's worth, now that I have a non-cam phone and all. Still, potentially neat.
What TV show(s) will you be watching this season? Why?
Submitted by ducnly.vox.com.
I'm not sure I'll have cable once I move back to Helena, but I'm currently DVRing The Ultimate Fighter 4, CSI Prime, and Boston Legal. So we have, uh... barely dressed guys beating eachother senseless, gorecore nerdcore, and William Shanter vs James Spader in a cagematch to the death, David E. Kelley style.
I'm sure that says more about me than any profile thinger would.
