Just a couple of songs, I've been listening to both of those alot recently, they're tony the tiger grrrrrrrrrrreat!

Bit obsessed with both, this girl talk remix first is just so amazing! intensely relaxing and surprising piece of remix work from gregg gillis

Peter Bjorn and John - Let's Call it Off (Girl Talk Remix)

Love this foals old single i think, it missed out on the album release proper, made it to a bonus disc though so it's not that bad.
Foals -Hummer

finally got my macbook :) made the transition pretty easily, love it now and i just need some software to be honest.

 

Okee dokee, time for some songage this fine Tuesday!

The Doors - Break on through to the other Side
I don't really have a reason for choosing this, it just stuck out of my mind and I really felt like listening to it. Brilliant!

Late of the Pier - Broken
Something off their recently released debut, Fantasy Black Channel, listened to it just now and rather enjoyed it. So thought it fitting to post here.

Biffy Clyro - Semi-mental
My favourite Biffy song, I love these Scots and really do need to delve into their back catalogue.

The Strokes - The End has no End
To be frank, it doesn't does it? This more mellow Strokes song features a vocally subdued Julian and all round a brilliant song. Love it!

Babyshambles - French Dog Blues
Just a bit of Pete to round off the week. This was the title of their second album till it changed to, not as good in my opinion, Shotter's Nation.

Yeah, a bit electic this week but oh well, all are rather good tracks. Enjoy!

 

I want you to know!

Well I'm getting Rock Band and my macbook soon. I tend not to be so materialistic but I want these things. I have done for a while now. Maaaan got paid and it was less than I imagined but due to the timeframe system, most of my work so far will get paid the following month and thereafter. I only received one weeks wages.

Really felt like posting these. Both are available as rock band dlc so I'll be defo downloading them. Such great songs! The guys at Harmonix know the greats, but they've treat europe a bit shit!

Pixies - Debaser
The Clash - Train in Vain

Also in the mood for some old school KOL
Kings of Leon - The Bucket

 

Well I thought I'd write it early, haven't done one for a couple of weeks anyway.


Feral Mare - Christopher
Ok, I do know the drummer, Tom (pictured above), I love this song though. Seeing as I now have a hypem listing I thought I should post this is an effort for the band to get a little more attention. There is a rather big amount of promise there I think.
Myspace

Arctic Monkeys - Flourescent Adolescent (acoustic)
I don't know how/why, but Alex Turner's vocals on this sound much, well human. If that makes sense. There seems to be more behind his voice and the cough he has is just humbling. He's no god, just a great musician/lyricisst. The whole mecca dobber/betting pencil line is hilarious.

Armand Van Helden - You Don't Know Me (GRUM Remix)
Now this is my favourite remix ever, they took a personal favourite dance track and spiced it up, making it ten times better and I just love every second of it. It's just a song that deserves a second, third and fourth consecutive listen. Too me I can see a Justice influence, but I could be wrong. Well done, GRUM

Radiohead - 15 Step (Live @ Lollapalooza 2008)
Regular readers may have read before of my love for Radiohead, I love the band, one of my ambitions is to see them live. This track is a favourite of mine that just somehow sounds amazingly good live, even on recordings, which you have to admit can never compare to being there.

Foals - Olympic Airways
Quite like this new single of Foals, the video is an almost certain head-trip mind-fuck of the Oxford band, it's competely non-senseical but still looks good, Yannis painted black is actually rather interesting, like, how could he have not got it on his face when they're thowing it at him.

I'll be on the college bus by the time this is posted (thanks again to scheduled posting) EEK! I ca't wait for college! YEAH

 

Well I just watched one of the best films I've ever seen



Dead Man's Shoes, directed by Shane Meadows and starring Paddy Considine, with a screenplay written by the two of them. For this film, Considine has been called Britain's answer to Robert De Niro. You can see why. He is astounding throughout this film. His last speech is superbly chilling, just amazing acting to behold. His character is so multi-faceted, you can empathise to an extent but by the end you will see his reasoning for what he does. It's packed with a few surprises that I won't risk spoiling. However, the scene of Sonny, Herbie and that tall guy trippin' is one of the best pieces of cinema I've seen.

Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

Also I start college tomorrow YAY! I've been waiting all week to start! Man, I actually can't wait for it! I know that the learning is going to most likely be way more intense but I just want to meet new people and have a good time.

Knowing a few people here and there means that I'll have some friends at least, thats the only thing inducing nerves, if I can't make friends which is something I'm not going to worry about.

Justice - New Jack

Cold War Kids - Red Wine, Success!

Also realised that hypem is only picking up savefile links, not Zshare, so it's back to savefile for me.

 

I've finally oh finally been listed on Hype Machine! YEAH!

Some reason, it's picked up only a few of my older posts so far. I don't personally understand the process of it picking up all the different tracks but I'm sure it will eventually work better (if thats the right word)

This is a celebratory post. I'm writing at 11 when I was just planning on checking emails, now i'm posting and i have work in 10 hours.

Just put these songs on my phone, they're rather good and I like them alot. So they fit. AHA

Friendly Fires - Jump in the Pool

Lightspeed Champion - Tell Me What It's Worth

We Are Scientists - Impatience

My hits have just gone over 10,000 too, noice!
