anyways, in this post i will review both tracks, as they are just that good.
This xiu xiu song in particular makes it to the top 3 of my favorite tracks by them. it maintains the xiu xiu style while covering a particularly shitty song by morrissey. while starting off slowly with a fade in rounded kick, it gains intensity with the usual xiu xiu noise, however further in the song the most incredible bloops and beeps start sounding, and it's just toooooo wicked. of course soaked in distortion, the bleeps really really add to the otherwise fairly typical xiu xiu sounding tune. sometimes adding reverb and more or less distortion also changes up these beeps, so it's just a really refreshing thing to hear. together with the stabs of horns, this song is somewhat unique in terms of a cover. the vocals are also fairly awesome, adding the xiu xiu misery to morrissey's confident tone. in conclusion, when keeping in mind this is a morrissey song, which would mean it would have nothing out of the ordinary in it at all, i think xiu xiu really did well here in terms of providing an interesting cover, which in my opinion, is better than the original.

Oh my god this song blew my mind. This parenthical girls cover is getting an insane amount of plays by me recently. it starts off with piano notes, eventually working into the handsome devil guitar riffs, but ever so off tune as if it was in some sort of horror movie. almost sounds as if it were by the misfits or some other band we all listened to in grade 10. when the drums come in they make the song more up beat and dance-able, really. really. although different from the original drumming, it's still pretty wicked. the vocals are also very well done. i've always loved this dude's voice, and he really does the trembello of morrissey's well. anyway further in the song there's some feedback and what not to add to that eerie effect i mentioned, and then when it gets to the part where it says "i said, i said, i i said" all these awkward horns coming in drowning out anything else, really, which i find fucking coooool. it happens again a few times but the song maintains the same patterns till some slow part, which, i'm not really that big of a fan of. it's alright i guess, got some cool 80's sounding snare in there, but whatever. the BEST part of this song is after he says "i'm going to get you......(piano noise)....you handsome devil"after that slow part, the normal ending comes in, but with these amaaazing creepy strings added! it's absolutely incredible in my opinion. they just add that last touch to make the song amazing. then those crazy intense horns attack you again, and then it's fairly serene till the end but with some synth in the background this time, not bad. necessary though, because if you had the cool horror strings during the ending with great lyrics like "there's more to life than books you know, but not much more" i think it would just make that one section less significant, seeing as how it's right after that slow part. it ends with that off tune guitar again, and i'm satisfied. (note: i'm not reading this over, fuck that,so if it doesnt make sense, that's okay)

SLEIGH BELLS
i loooove this fucking song. i foresee a successful future for this band. blown out kicks, distortion, and girly vocals while all being epicly catchy is what constructs the songs. they don't have any actual cd's out, so this is just their own rough recordings. apparently they will be redoing these songs, so i'll post those when i get them! i like their different sounds already. i'm pretty pumped on this music. anyways, more tunage belooowww. enjoy fool!

i really enjoyed the first beach house album. and by that, i mean the one before this one. i have no idea if they have a bunch or anything, but it's self titled so it's usually safe to assume such a thing. this album comes out next year, and there has been a massive leakage. as always i support buying music, so if you're a fan as well, purchase it when it is released! anyways, this music is kind of neat. it's one dude and one gal, like high places, but not quite as good - but that's a high bar they set. it's mellow music, which is appreciated in the wintertime, no? anyways, i just though i'd post it cause i got some old stuff above, thought i'd level it with some shit not out yet.
_______________________________________________________________________
so i was watching skins the other day, and chris goes to talk to this job counselor. i'm one of those guys who listens for music in shows or wherever, as i'm sure you, reader, are as well. so the song that comes on during this particular scene was SO fitting and so odd that i had to get it. it's by Minotaur Shock, probably most known for his remixes (bloc party, stars). anyways, i don't have much to say cause i got the album and i hate it, but i'll post that one song cause it's too dope. it's like a weird series or horns in harmony, but in an ever so flawlessly off-tune way, it's great. also, before you rob a bank in all black or are going to do something where you may look suspicious, listen to this song, cause it's made for that i believe.
Minotaur Shock - Muesli
________________________________________________________________________
so JAYOU did a dubstep mix with mad decent, which, you may know i am somewhat a fan of. it's his top played songs of the year, and it's pretty dope! some pretty wicked drops in here, accompanied with just some sickkkk tunes to just not your head to, you dig? like most of them are just dope. you gotta listen to the last song. so start at the beginning, but then if you're like fuck it, go to 23 minutes in! too dope, really love that LFO, seriously i'm a massive massive fan of anything with beaitiful lfo, haha.

still studying for exams, fuck these are shitty. but that's a new crookers song off of their unreleased lp, which you can find info on here.
sorry for the shit small update, BUT I'LL GIVE TWO MORE SONGS REAL QUICK
Joka - Milowy - fast drum and bass track. wicked bassline though. i mean if you're into dnb you'll like it, but if it's not your thing, you wont, you dig?
Bart B More - Lay Around - Bart B More's new track. pretty wicked as well. i love that wobble, yo. i just like wobble in general, which reminds me..
alright, so you may hate that. keep in mind, if you're not listening to it without some sort of bassage, it'll sound like shit.
anyways, i saved the best for last.
so recently i bought tickets to go see DOOM in toronto, and if you're going too, it'll be fucking wicked i assume. anyways, so doom goes under like 4 aliases for his different kind of tunage, and King Geedorah is one i've found really wicked. so, i present
King Geedorah - Krazy World (feat. Gidan)
alright, that's all. you might think i'm crazy for liking that song, or you might love it. i hope you love it, cause i can't stop listening to it. anyways, sorry for the short and somewhat shitty post, but my mind is going NUTS over these exams. for my next one my prof said "study everything", sooo, i am. haha

NEW LAYOUT
i have exams now, you see.
so this explains the lack of posts, i apologize. tonight i just felt like hanging though, and i thought i'd make this thing look a lot better, and i think it was a successful mission. tell me what you think though! email me or facebook me in that little contact window on the left there, or leave a comment please! tell me if you like the new loooks ;) haha
on that note, i don't have all that much music for today, but the shit i do have is nuts!
this two song single is nuts. the song swagga blows minds. blows minds fool! just trust! 320kps too, because only the best for my family.
ALSO. alright so i downloaded this skream mix, right? and it's fucking nuts! i originally got it cause it had the new noah d tracks, which by the way start at around 53 minutes. yes this is a long ass mix. it's 2 hours long. you don't have to get it if you want, but you can just delete it afterwards, and the two songs around 53 minutes in are totally, totally worth it. theres some other good ones too, just hunt around that shit! you can't find these songs anywhere. i don't even think they're released, but i'll keep hunting!
Skream - Stella Sessions Live On Rinse.FM (27.05.2009)
Alright, so, this last song has been getting masssive amounts of plays on my ipod lately. it's in that skream mix around 1:17 which is where i heard it, so i found it for you cats. 320 again, cause i rule and you're great. it's got a nuts drop with just a wicked harmonious baseline, just listen foo!
enjoy! hope you like the new layout, and this tunage! it's pretty tough to find and remember, you heard it here first! (hopefully)

i really like this ep. fun fact: i danced to it for half an hour before i went to bed one night, in my underwear. it's such fun music and it's just got a wicked 80's feel to it. i dare you to not like it, really, i do. the first song is just so incredible, it's difficult to be in a bad mood while listening to it. so get it! trust me.
for the record, out of 10 i'd probably give it a 8.6!
__________________________________________________________
you know those songs that you hear somewhere, but it's impossible to tell who it's by, cause if it's on the radio no one says a song title afterwards, and if it's anywhere else it's not credited? i fucking hate that! i heard this song in 2006 on December 24th, and i found it a week ago or two, 2009. fuck! i found one of my text drafts in my phone saying "place in my heart for you. you are home" and i still remembered what it was from. so i googled it in quotes and i found it! it's really a very nice song. it's really comforting, and i think the last lines are wicked. i think if i was that band, i'd want the whole crowd to say those lines with me over and over, it'd just be wicked haha. so listen!
__________________________________________________________
ALSO. Sound Of Stereo are coming out with a new ep, "Zipper" pretty soon i think. the crazy sounds these guys make are just so cool haha. they released a teaser of their ep, which i think you should get.
enjoi!
