night timin'

Formed in 2003 as an electronic-based group with an emphasis on the dancefloor, the Whitest Boy Alive eventually abandoned all programming and most other forms of synthetic instrumentation for a typical rock band setup. Guitarist/vocalist Erlend Øye (the Kings of Convenience), bassist Marcin Öz, drummer Sebastian Maschat, and keyboardist Daniel Nentwig began playing a form of straightforward and stripped-down indie rock informed by early Talking Heads and Josef K. They released their first album, titled 'Dreams', in 2006 which can be purchased here. Their new album 'Rules' (available for purchase here) is due for release today and I think it sounds just as awesome if not awesomer as their last one. The first 3 tunes are from the new album. next 2 are from 'Dreams' and I thought I would throw in the the Fred Falke remix of golden cage just cuz it's beautiful for sure and just to forshadow a bit for the Fred Falke post coming soon... enjoy :)

Happy Valentines day yall!

Hope you're all having a lovey dovey day out there :) I am currently not hooked up (hey ladies, I don't own a car but I do have my own blog so... ya) so I thought I would do up a post of songs that remind me of ex girlfriends. I seem to have built up quite a collection (ex's AND songs) :oS
There are some damn good songs in there, and a few bad ones. As far as all the things I miss or am happy to be rid of, their musical tastes are at the top of both lists. What can I say? music is kind of a big deal for me :) And sometimes girls listen to really weird music. And what's with most girls listening to top 40 music? I will never get that...
Anyways, here ya go, the good, the bad, and the ugly (JK, I don't date ugly girls (JK, you should see the girl who broke my cherry)) :)



Fred Falke - 8:08pm @ the Beach


The Ting Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go (Classixx Remix)


Ms. Dynamite - Dy-Na-Mi-Tee


Lady Gaga - Just Dance OMG I hate this damned song. Don't tell me to dance, I only dance if the music is good (not true). If I was at a lady gaga show (which I never would be) I would just stand there with my arms crossed trying my hardest to look disappointed.


Jenny Wilson - Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward (The Knife Remix)


Sam Roberts - Bridge to Nowhere Canadian content! niiiiiiiice :)


MSTRKRFT - Easy Love Also Canadian (niiiiiiiiiice)
Other good Canadian electronic acts: Hatiras, Crystal Castles, Chromeo (1 half), Richie Hawtin, Deadmau5, Tiga, Venetian Snares, to name a few...


Sia - Breath Me


Benny Benassi - Satisfaction Also reminds me of searching "techno" in napster when I was a kid. That search also got "Da rude - Sandstorm", nice one.


Jacksoul - Still Believe in Love Hard to believe this one was written in this decade accept for the reference to big screens and DVD's.


Etta James - At Last
This one is just a romantic ass song for all you love birds out there. and an homagé to Obama.
U.S.A. A-OK for picking lesser of 2 evils.

Obamas first dance - Beyonce - At Last
I think if she (Beyonce) was naked in my bed and she sang to me like she loved me I could explode into a million little pieces that would spread over the entire world and end all wars and cure all disease.
