song of the week

a little better
gnarls barkley
the odd couple

http://youtu.be/fXbzoIwQwOU

oh it's probably plain to see, that i gotta whole lot of pain in me
and it will always remain in me
so cold it's a crying shame, yet here i am trying again
cuz i refuse to die in pain
the circumstances put soul in me, and there ain't no holding me
i've got a heart made of gold in me
can you believe that this is where i've been, and when adversity comes again
i'll deal with it then

i want to thank you morning sun, i want to thank you loaded gun
now i know i'm not the only one
i want to thank you friendly ghost, when all the calls were close
seems like you care the most
i want to thank you mom and dad, for hurting me so bad
but you're the best i ever had
i want to thank you

(was listening to gnarls barkley the other day on the elliptical at the gym, started tearing up really bad to this song, proceeded to repeatedly listen to it while getting groceries and on my way home, kinda hard to drive with dat blurry vision)

watch the throne tour

Watch the Throne Tour - YouTube
not much of a jay-z fan but i'm pretty happy for kanye since jay's def an idol of his. gotta be an amazing feeling getting to do an album with him and perform on the same stage.

car music

i've decided my car needs a couple of cd compilations of some of my favourite bands, since i currently only have 1 blank cd, 1st up today i'll be doing one of some of my favourite otep songs. i don't think i've used media player to make a cd before so i'm a little nervous cuz i've definitely had cd making issues. time to rip. so far so good, 2 cds down 1 ongoing 1 downloading. all cds ripped turns out i'm missing 2 gotta wait for them to download, gonna to be awhile. i think i started this post around 630p, curious when it'll be done. on a side note the cowboys are beating the pats 16-13. grrr 27s left pats get a touchdown. it was sorta nice while it lasted, the thought of the possibility of a win but whatever, slowest downloads not really ever but it seems like it. what makes it worse is knowing i have one of the albums somewhere. dooodoooodooodoo, 43mins left for 1 over 2hrs left for the other, 3hrs till i leave for work. sweet, it's 830p, 1 of them is done, 15mins for the other. woo, 9p, an 1 1/2 till i leave, almost burning time. hmm, i'm watching nikita on media player, not sure i can do both probably best not to. i had been planning on picking out favourite tracks but there's only 63 songs so they might as well all be on it. well 909p, burn starting. oh goodie it's done! can't wait to hear a whole lotta otep super loud on my way to work tonight.

song of the week

cosmogony
bjork
biophilia

vids

was at the gym this morning on the treadmill listening to otep, decided i needed some visual stimulation to stay present and caught some videos on the muchmusic show the wedge,
http://www.muchmusic.com/music/thewedge/playlist/cid/544883/pid/68317/bury-us-alive
1st off i was surprised to see they were actually playing videos and some pretty good ones, just heard the song from the ablove video, blah, that song doesn't deserve the video. another great video http://www.muchmusic.com/music/thewedge/playlist/cid/532587/pid/68317/pharoahs-feat-roses-gabor the song is also not what i was expecting but thankfully not terrible.
i think this one http://www.muchmusic.com/music/thewedge/playlist/cid/549826/pid/15762/vessel is the closest match between song and video, some really interesting things going on but manages to seem totally pointless.

slant of sound

looks like this will be the continuation of my facebook group of the same name, just me posting music related content. most posts will be weekly new music on tuesdays, with links from itunes and a song of the week with mostly youtube links unless i find it elsewhere.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=30821312504 scheduled to be archived, not quite sure when but i'm spending less time on facebook anyway and this may work out a little better.
