What is Love (toxic avenger remix)

and a little something for being away for so long

Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches (Crystal Castles Remix)

First one takes the song and makes it sound like the original yet completely makes it their own as well. It is a nuts remix without all the gayness surrounding jokes about Night at the Roxbury.

Second is Crystal Castles who are better than you in every way.

Los Campesinos - You! Me! Dancing!

Learned of this band on of all things Much Music, for those unversed in it, it’s the Canadian TV music station that plays excessive pop music and pretty much just mainstream things. Well I looked them up on wikipedia and pitchfork (so I could know how pretentious I could act while listening to them) and heard good things so I picked them up. I am enjoying the hell out of em. Let’s hope you do too. This songs not from their newest album so I’ll upload a video of their new stuff too. Cheers!

Cut Copy - Feel the Love

Liking Cut Copy a lot lately. You should too, I think you’ll enjoy how that will make you feel. Also as a nice little treat probably tomorrow or Thursday I’ll drop 5-10 tracks here to tide everyone over while I’m robo-copping mad fruit swagz in NYC.

Mates of State - Get Better

not the greatest quality on the MP3 but if you like the video why not have it on your computer. Remember to visit their site and buy their tshirts.

The Knife - Still Light

The Knife constantly impresses me, I get hooked on one song for so long then I move on expecting that to be the high light of the album, but then instead ithere’s something better than high and it’s Still, listen, love, that’s all the L words I could think of that fit so this post is done.

The Rural Alberta Advantage - Don’t Haunt This Place

Saw these guys live they were pretty dope. Can’t find their best song anywhere to download. Looks like I’ll have to buy their CD if I can ever find it. So there you have it a short but sweet musical update and some music about a relationship ending, I bet this will be helpful to everyone.

To My One Loyal Fan

As it stands exams are taking up a lot of my time so I am not updating and sharing music as I should be. So I apologize to you, despite the ghey remarks and being borderline racist, at least you follow this with some regularity. So I will update today, and until I leave for NYC, with frightening efficiency.

Yelle- Ce Jeu

Hot French girl spinning her sexy language around beats and harmonies and straight into my heart. Pretty fun little song, understanding French just makes it better. Also her being more than fuckable helps too. Sexy musically inclined women make me feel funny. I don’t understand these feelings, but I hear love happens all the time over the internet (otherwise Chris Hansen would be out of a job) so the only logical thing to do is email her professing these feelings and hope she writes back. I’ll invite you guys to the wedding, but you’re not getting front row seats.

Drinking During Exams

While going out last night to drink copious amounts of alcohol I reflected upon my scholarly situation. Why am I drinking when I should be studying, I’m on academic probation as it is. I figure as long as I feel okay about how much I’ve studied I can go out and have fun as well. So this is a public service announcement for anyone disheartened about their self destructive behavior, if you’re fine with how much you’ve studied don’t keep cramming all night, take some time for yourself. Have fun, I feel loose and ready for a day of studying. I know this was pretty obvious advice, but too many people get caught up in exams and that just causes stress. And we all know stress is for pussies. So grab a pint with your friends, watch that movie, have an extra long JO sesh while fantasizing about that girl that was walking in front of you on the way to the bus. All these are completely fine options, except for the last one, she thinks you’re creepy. That’s gross that you fantasized about her, sicko. Although if you’re a girl reading this, that’s hot that you thought of her, she was pretty sexy.

LCD Soundsystem- Tribulations (Tiga’s Out of the Trance Closet Mix)

Want to drop some LCD Soundsystem in any situation and have an electro raver party erupt? This is the exactly what will happen if you play this., and LCD hasn’t created a good raver in a while. Remember to bring lots of E and cocaine, I hear electro raves need that shit.

As more people need to be exposed to the greatness that is Justice and So-Me (did the video). I like how they change their songs for the videos so you can watch them and not feel as if it’s barely better than just listening to the song by itself.

So this is your introduction into bands that were so hype and fresh last year. You can jump on the band wagon now if this is your first time listening to them, but dammit you won’t get any indie cred. Which is equivilant to 0 real dollars, but you do get to act as if you’re better than everyone. Unless you run into someone with more credits. It’s something along the lines of alpha male dominance in the animal kingdom except with less showing of testicles and more obscure band references.

Date Movie/Epic Movie/Poop

As all these things have relatively the same cinematic value I thought I should group them together. If people you know have seen either movie…and to some extent the third option, it is my expert opinion that they are individuals that require your utmost sympathies. But if they enjoyed them, it’s just one of those signs that you should probably never hang out with them. Maybe it’s being elitist, but there is only so much mediocre stuff you should be required to take from the people you hang out with.
