The Killing Sun




finals week is finally here!

and so too, finally is a post of sum "darker" muzic!!!!

(plz contain your excitement)

i have a lot to go still but the end is (not) in sight!

scrolling through hypem today while procrastinating, i came across GDD-Tre, who i've never heard of. Anyway, their song "The Killing Sun" is really "doing it for me right now." im not sure it has much "mainstream" appeal but wtfc!

I must admit that although i really like this song right now, i could see myself getting a little tire of it

either way, i like it's b/c it's what you might describe as "spacey," "dark" and "anxious"....all things i can relate to this week!

GDD-Tre "The Killing Sun"

Luv it / h8 it --> i don rlly curr

s T r A n G e T a L k




i think a while back i mentioned the band Strange Talk

they have a few new songs that i found or that were recently released. i like both.

Strang Talk:

1) "WE CAN PRETEND"



2) "IS IT REAL"


both songs are electro-pop-ish! i like it but it might not be for everyone?

tomorrow is my last radio show....ever? it's gonna be crazy

also, just so everyone KNOWS Kitsune Comp 11 releases soon and you can get their cute lil minimix for free here!
obviously i am going to become obsessed with the songs on this comp like all the rest so you may as well become familiar with it NOW

RADIOZ: BEAST OF part 1


oh my hey-zeus! lol

it's like jesus

anyway, the end of school IS LIKE OMFG WTF HERE less than a month till graduation.
obviously, i have mixed feelings about this, thankfully i have enough work to keep my mind off of the fact that i don't really know what i will do post-graduation....

the "..." could really go on 4-EVER

to commemorate my A-MAZING music taste (jokes!) and my IN-TERESTING senior year in Rural Isolation (Upstate NY) Im sharing with all of you (YOU!!) some of my 'best hits." these are the songs that i would listen to repeatedly regardless of the circumstance. I could be pulling an all-nighter, running, pre-gaming, or just walking. really, these activities were just excuses to listen to these songs! (that's at least 3/4 true for running)

I must admit that i have a 2.5 extremely long playlists dedicated to Senior Year Muzic Memz, i decided that these song would "really stand out in my mind" if sum1 asked me to select a few of my favs

although, this isn't a very fair representation to some extent...i chose these songs at like 530 this morning

i could be really annoying and give a little anecdote for each song, about a memory or a moment but i think that is both stupid and time consuming....and thinking about it, im not totally sure i could dig up a specific memory for EACH OF THESE SONGS. i mean, they define a year of experiences!!! It's actually sort of a-musing though, a lot of these songs "remindED me of paris," are they now going to remind me of Hamilton? WTF!? AM I GOIING TO LOSE ALL MY MEMZ? maybe these songs will just "define my early twenties"

"BEST OF" part 1 (of many to come?) --> lol!

GET THE PLAYLIST HERE

Track List:
1) Goldfrapp - "Happiness (Metronomy Remix ft The Teenagers)"
2) Fischerspoon - Danse en France (Beni Remix)

5) Thieves Like Us -Drugs in My Body (Designer Drugs Remix)

Dealing with April "Showers" for May flowers


what a srsly lame title for a post

the weather is really disagreeable though. so much rain. so much work.


i have two songs to share that have me "beaming internally" (LOL)

1. "Sunshine Eyes" - Polarsets

Like 1/2 of the songs i think i've ever posted about, i found this on Kitsuné's website. Like ALL of the songs i've ever posted about I REALLY like it too. it's really just gr8. the beginning/intro reminds me a lot of Yeasayer's Ambling Alt whichhhhhhh reminds me of P****S...as most of the songs i've written about do BUT this song is for CREATING NEW SPRING MEMORIEZZZZ of too much work, very little sun, rural isolation, and a (potentially) jobless future. = ( / = D LOL economic recession!!!


2. "2 Hearts" - Digitalism or "<3 <3" [lolilol]

Digitalism is one of my favorite groups. I saw them in P***S and it was FANTASTIC. This song is markedly different from their others, which might alienate some long time fans while attracting new ones! who knows?!? lol. I found this song through RCDLBL which compared it to a LCD Soundsytem song among other things. I don't totally agree with this tbh. The blog, toomanysebastians compared it to Delphic which I find more appropriate. the vocals make me think of The Teenagers but wtvr, that's just my opinion.

§†®E§§ is mounting!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! omfg?????! srsly graduation is almost a month away. WTF. wheredidmyyouth@go.com? like srsly?

on a side note: the depressing image of rain isn't something i found on the internet. it's actually a photo taken from my drive way @ home in the SUB-suburbs of SEA (read: the woods). SO SICK OF RURAL ENVIROS, honestly!

Keeping the dream A L I V E

another post about P A R I S

when i was there i was really digging Delorean. I still do. RAC remixed "Stay Close" and I am a fan. brings back all those memories of smoking on my balcony in spring, drinking in parks, etc etc (the list is endless)

this mix is great. for me, it doesn't really capture the magic of the original but that wont stop me from liking it!!!=

"Stay Close (RAC Mix)" - Delorean
