night timin'

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.

Hey Kiddies :D

Just wanted to do a post about "dubstep" and what I like and don't like and what it's defining qualities actually are. I've heard all the popular UK type dubstep like Benga, Coki, Skream, Caspa, Rusko, Kromestar, N-Type, you see who I'm getting at. Pretty much the top 40 of dubstep. I gotta say, I'm not so down, there are a few good tunes here and there but most of it is pretty bland. Big wobbly basslines (which I do actually enjoy immensely, if done right) and rootical dub samples. I hate to slag but it seems that stuff is just a bit to repetitive and lacks depth. My problem is I really love the idea of it and the general style but it's seems like you've heard one, you've heard 'em all. Maybe it's more just a matter of preference. The tracks I've posted here are some of the more creative "outside the box" (and a few inside the box but good all the same) tracks that I have found but I need more! Is some of this stuff even really classified as dubstep or is it part of some other sub genre I don't know about? Maybe breakstep/something a tiny bit faster and a bit more hectic? Please have a listen and comment to help me with this frustrating search I'm sure you're all familiar with when searching for something just you have just realized you love, but can't put your finger on. Cheers yall :)
