Sunday, October 31, 2004fresYESA couple of weeks ago I picked up Britney Spears' latest...why you might ask? For "Toxic" (and that it was only 2 dollars in a Tahoe pawn shop). Now that has a fat beat. I love bringing in those Bollywood strings...I'm hoping to hear more from Bloodshy & Avant productions in the future. So everyone knows Britney is hot, but it also turns out that she has a hankering for Fresno guys. I was recently informed that Britney's new dancer husband is a fellow Fresnan. So ladies, if you'd like to jump on the Fresno bandwagon, let me know. (I have some wicked dance moves too.) posted @ 05:54 PM PDT [link] Saturday, October 30, 2004i like big buttsWhy is it when kareoke comes around, I have to sing "Baby Got Back"? Its probably because I can sing the whole thing acapella. While that skill is appreciated by most, I think that my father was genuinely disturbed that after 4 years of college my most developed skill was being able to recite verse upon verse of derierre related poetry. In any case, I think that everyone should have at least one song they can recite word for word, in the off chance that they're required to get up on stage and belt out a tune. Whats yours? posted @ 03:06 AM PDT [link] Thursday, October 28, 2004got the funk flow to make your draws drop slowRecently found my old copy of "Ready To Die" from the N O T O R I O. Listening to One More Chance, you'd think this guy was a real hit with the ladies. I wonder how much play he really saw? I mean, I'm not the most attractive man on the planet...or wait, I am. I can show you the proof some time if you're interested. Anyway, I digress. But how much play did this man really get? I'm just curious. In any case, probably more successful with the opposite sex than I. I'm going to have to keep working on my funk flow. *tipping 40*, RIP B.I.G posted @ 08:43 PM PDT [link] Wednesday, October 27, 2004summer in abaddonabaddon(n) Hell; the bottomless pit. So I finally got around to purchasing the new pinback cd. Its been on the net since mid July now, but finally in stores last week. Every one of their albums is better than the last. Of course, I can't understand 95% of what is being said in any of their songs (they include the lyrics, but I just haven't gotten around to reading them) but I don't care. Definitely some of the most sonically pleasing stuff out there. I must say I am a sucker for polyphony though, you put two melodies together and I am loving it. Throw on layered vocals and I can't get enough. Anyway, I highly recommend this album (and all their other albums and EPs), you won't be disappointed. posted @ 09:41 PM PDT [link] Tuesday, October 26, 2004bittersweet symphonyLife really is a bittersweet symphony, isn't it? I don't profess to know why we're here or for what purpose. I find myself pondering existential (hopefully thats the right word) thoughts every so often, and I still have no clue what my purpose is. Props to everyone out there who knows, through religion or their own personal philosophy. In any case, I think the Verve chose a great title for that song...sounds much better than the alternative; Saltysour Concerto... posted @ 04:46 PM PDT [link] Monday, October 25, 2004razorblade suitcaseSo after thinking about that pet shop boys album, I was trying to think back to when I first heard it. It took awhile, but I eventually remembered. It was when CD's were just taking off and stores were trying to get rid of cassettes (remember those?). Anyway, I picked up that album used for a quarter. Thats right 25 cents. I really only picked it up because I thought the cover was amusing. I ended up liking it and recently got it in CD form, but the thing that was funny was that when I got it home and opened up the cover, there was a razorblade tucked inside the liner notes. It was kinda neat to think that the tape would regularly have lines done off of it... So do I really like lyrics to songs? I'm not sure, I think many times all I like is the way a particular line is said, or the sounds that are going on around the words. In the last few years, I think I actually know the lyrics to very few songs that I listen to repeatedly, although I can somehow sing along phonetically. Today I was listening to some old skool, Mr. Groove by One Way which has very few lyrics. But the sounds! You'll be hard pressed to show me a better sound than the "Ah ah" noise that follows the "Da daat daaa" around 0:59. Splendid... posted @ 07:07 PM PDT [link] Sunday, October 24, 2004So anyway...I just realized that I can put links on the side, and that way I can put links that I go to often there instead of going through my bookmarks. I like that. Sorry if you don't find it as useful as I do. Anyway, so in the car I was listening to the Pet Shop Boys collection thing, and "what have I done to deserve this?" came on. I really like the the lines: At night, the people come and go They talk too fast, and walk too slow Chasing time from hour to hour I pour the drinks and crush the flowers especially the way he says "crush the flowers". I really don't know if you can ever really walk too slow though. Seems like people walk too fast and talk too fast as well. But then it wouldn't rhyme now, would it? posted @ 09:14 PM PDT [link] And so it begins... Well, I really don't like talking about myself, so this is probably just going to be about music, cause, well, I like music. Maybe it will be a lyric from a song, or a song that I've been listening to, or maybe none of those things. Anyway, hope you're all doing well, say hello to a friend for me... posted @ 08:57 PM PDT [link] |
