BAG RAIDERS

so idk what my issue is, but im slow and not very good about posting stuff....i've found about a billion new songs that i love since my last post but i don't think i could write about them each and every single time that i find them. i should though.

i should be better but my thought is that if i have to write on this than i should also have time to apply for jobs....awk just a little


anyway, there is this semi-new band that im sort of getting obsessed with. the band, BAG RAIDERS, is from Australia like Miami Horror and i think the two have slightly similar musical "aesthetics" if that makes any sense.

i downloaded a lot of their music a while ago. as in this summer, but for some reason forgot about it until now.

here is there stuff:

1. "sunlight"
the song is REALLY catchy. like i can't stop listening to it catchy. i think i did the same thing this summer or early fall when i first heard it. i really love it. i also love that it is dancey and poppy. so gut. i'll admit the song is a little cheesy but it's still rockin my ear drumz

2. Golden Wings
this song is more along the lines of the heavier electro stuff that i've posted a lot of. i really like how it feels sort of like a "controlled burn" which is how i would describe a lot of the songs i listen to. it's sort of a stupid description but it makes sense in my head. anyway, i love that this band can have two totally different sounds. it's gr8

Supporting a friend + SKINS

sorry i never update. school keeps me busy and this month has left me a mess.

but whatever, who wants to know about others baggage? not me!

i'd like to give a shot out to a friend from Toronto.

My blog isn't a fashion blog. although i've considered making one, i certainly wouldn't write about fashion for the females. but for those few and much appreciated females who do read this blog i want to direct you to FASHION RIFFS

hopefully i'll be able to take a trip to toronto soon.

i'd also like to highlight my most recent obsession, SKINS. most everyone outside of the US is already familiar with the british teen drama. MTV is set to make an American version of the show, and i know those of you who have seen the previews are skeptical.

before the mtv version is made, i hope ppl get a chance to check out the real thing. it's amazing.

check out the preview for the 1st season of UK SKINS, sh_tz CRAZY.

DISTRAUGHT///TOO EPIC TO HANDLE

PHOENIX x DAFT PUNK 1901 -> HAPPENED

: (

so im here in "the cage" (i.e. kj) working on a paper. it's 5:35am (i love the all nighters) anyway i get onto hypem for some tunes and guess what i see???

apparently Phoenix and Daft Punk played together @ Madison Square Garden tonight/last night.

the quality isn't great but it sounds epic. check it out here

im just wanna be the FIRST one to talk about this!
i really wish i could have gone. effing school.
lol

i really hope they make a "real" mix of this i can listen to

ITS BEEN AWHILE

W H A T A W E I R D I M A G E

hey

so i dont have a whole lot of time to get all fancy w/ posting da musique etc
who knew that school would keep me so busy??? lol.

i now have 2 radio shows on campus, you can check them out online @ WHCL 88.7 but jfyi the streaming doesn't work for some reason. idk when it will be fixed but i hope soon. My goal is to try and get some time to mix music but who knows how long that will go or how long it will last

on to the music:

1. Coeur De Pirate - Comme des Enfants (Le Matos Andy Carmicheal Remix) : idk how i missed this song but it's amazing. today during my frist radio show (10 am each monday yall) Mel played it and it was fcking gr8. less harder than what i normally listen to but whatever. the french + electro combo can always win this heart over


2. Neon Indian – Psychic Chasms (Anoraak Remix) : a song to make sweet slow love to, LOLILOL....no but it is a good "chill wave" song wtvr the eff that means. but i really like this.


there was a third song but i cant find it anymore and it's srsly frustrating.

~ Marina And The Diamonds – Hollywood (Fenech-Soler Remix) : this one isn't bad. it's not my fav though just thought i'd include it. could be fun to run to and or party to. one line is esp gr8 "im obsessed with the mess that is america" --> really works for me.

What makes a good "smoking song?"

KMH recently asked me what constitutes a "good smoking song"

i reflected upon this question and came to the following formula:

The Sound of (domestic) Violence

(for some reason, i've lost the formatting tools.....)

schooooool has startttttted

upstate ny is enjoying an amazing heat wave. walking to class and feeling the sweat on my back is really the best feeling in the world. (not).

it's weird. i dont feel like there is any progression in the days. they all bleed together. before i realize it, the end will be here and i'll probably be unemployed. (hope not)

anyway, i recently found this remix of Cassius "Sound of Violence"....i was really REALLY into the original 2nd year, esp the video....it's such a kewl video, ill post it below.

~ The Sound of Violence (Mattanol Remix) ~
a remix to a fcking amazing song to begin with. the song is now more more disco-e.

this is the kewl video from Cassius' Sound of Violence:


~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>



~ This Space ~
the next song from Royksopp should really be included in my last post about "music that's out ~there~" but it's not...it's like "omg soooooooooooooo trippy" lol it's kewl. feel like im goin on a journey or somethinnnnnn


i was really lazy posting this. i blame it on the heat wave///h8 wave

getting a little more out ~there~

as the name of the post might suggest, this post will "feature" or "highlight" if you will, music that "pushes" my blog's "boundaries"......but not really. im just trying to "capture" your "attention"

but in all seriousness, the two songs im highlighting are much different from the past things i've posted. i like them and if i didn't i obviously wouldnt be wasting my/your time talking about them.

let's start with whats "less weird" and work our way from there!




~ Twin Stars (Lone Remix) ~
this song is by Solar Bears. Admittedly, it's not all that weird or at least i dont think so. i like the song b/c it has that kind of mystical/space quality/style/something that sort of reminds me of a more cracked out version of Daft Punk's Voyager. This song is deff much less "chill" but then i'm not a very "chill" person. Anyway, the song is just nice to listen to, daydream. look at the sun falling through the leaves (lol @ self-reference [and being a huge tool while doing it!])

~ Sponsored by Destiny ~
this song is by Slagsmlsklubben (i think they go by SMK for short) and i was first introduced to them by Jeeta. This song is much harder than most of what i've posted but i really like it. The intro is great, really builds some tension. I sort of see this song as a darker version of the previous one. I'll admit when the song gets all "blippy" and "bloppy" it is sort of annoying but when all of that fades away it's perfect, just turn it up and "feel da \\B\\E\\E\\T\\".....also: i apologize for the intensely crappy visuals of the video

~ Nerve Salad ~
Simian Mobile Disco is by far one of my favorite acts/bands/group/idk what to call them. i was supposed to see them @ Social in Paris but life intervened. STILL REALLY WANT TO SEE THEM. this song is probably the least accessible in the group. the song is cool it's even better with the video, which i can no longer find. 2bh, it's hard to explain why i like this song, but i do.

The Future is full of R\U\S\S\I\A\N\S

school has started.

work is already piling up up up UP

anyway, the band The Russian Futurists are really helping me get through this "dark time" (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

no but seriously, they remind me of when i was really "into" The Postal Service during my senior of High School.

~ Let's Get Ready to Crumble ~

this song is fun. idk what else to say. i enjoy listening to it and looking at the sun falling through the leaves. might even "write some poetry" about the leaves + sun + fall combination or something A R T I S T I C like that.

.l.o.l.

>+<

( the above is a lol cat that didnt really work out)

is he a russian futurist?

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)

l8r h8rs

SOMETIMES i become a lil cray cray with a certain artist

iz posting AGIAN all in one DAY

so my prev post on Miami Horror "inspired" me to delve into the band's "past" and i "re-discovered" their song "Sometimes"

Im not going to lie, some of their music is not my thing but this song really does it for me. IDK why that is, maybe its a "well constructed song"- like i would really know.....to me, the song seems like the perfect mix of Empire of the Sun + Phoenix + Delphic + Disco..ZOMGAWD i get a lil "hot n bothered" just thinking about it! (meta-joke right der)

along with the "original" song im going to include a "remix" that i really "like" lol....i wish i had more to say about why i like them but im not sure i know enough about music to really do that. just know they are really great!?!?!?!?!?!?!.......i actually really REALLY want you Y O U to "like" them as much as i do!!!!1

~ SOMETIMES ~

écoute et aime

~ SOMETIMES (G.L.O.V.E.S. remix)~

this version is deff more upbeat and a lil faster, which i sort of like. at first i thought replacing the male vocals with a female voice was a little odd but i've since "grown" to "love it"

Download it H E R E

//////l/a/t/e/r///////

"idk just where you came from, but I NEED YOU NOW!"

i've been aware of Miami Horror for a while, but sort of fell out of touch with them in favor of heavier electronic music...anyway they produced/made/created/collaborated/etc a funky new song, that im "diggin"

the song, "Holidays" showed up on my HypeM and i've had it on my mind for the past 2-ish days...the song gives me "hope" that there will be "good times" ahead....perahps they are just "AROUND THE BEND" (fcking better be)///(lololololololololol if anyone at Nasty's 21st ever reads this)

~Holidays (ft Alan Palomo)~

if this song isn't your "thing," you should really consider getting your "ears" checked (JOKES). No but in all seriousness, if you dont really "feel it" skip to/wait for min 3:10 and then listen for the build up until you hear this lil synth thing (or whatever the hale you wanna call it) which is FCKING_FUN///SICKSICKSICK

im just sayin'

"when the music starts we're together 43v3r"

heyyyyyyyyy

supppppppp

a friend shared this song with me on fbk and i really R E A L L Y enjoy it. i hope all of you do toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

the song is by JAPAYORK:

~ OUR NOW ~

gr8 song. reminds me of crazy nights @ Social Club in P A R I S (what the fck doesnt remind me of that fcking city?) lol. srsly though. good song. the vid is kewl too.

_so new_

like. song. a. lot. i guess its a lil diff from what i've postd in the past (lol b/c the past is basically just a week but we all know how long that REALLY is in blog years)

i could really go for some poverty-chic food, i.e. baguette and pate

La Vie Moderne is not found at \H\A\M\C\O\

OHEYYYYYYY

im so glad i go to "school" in the middle of b u m b l e f c k nowhere. for any high school students who may read this (b/c i have so many followers) take my advice and NEVER go to any school that describes themselves as having a "rural setting."

(lol @ screen shots, i.e. this image)

do i sound bitter?

L()L....anyway:

I just found this song from Kitsuné (it was posted on FBK, you should really follow them)....wasn't sure about ~IT~ at F\I\R\S\T\ but when the vocals hit me and now im sold. S O L D.

the song is by LOGO and i think come from one of Kitsuné's newest compilations. if you "like" the song you can download it H E R E

~ LA VIA MODERNE (French Fries & Tony Senghore Remix feat PiuPiu) ~

as mentioned, i thought the song was a lil weird @1st but now i \e\n\j\o\y\i\t\ a lot. stick through it till the end. things pick up around 1:47 but they only get better from \t\h\e\r\e\

(this song is a lil diff from what ive posted recently. im just tryin to show y'all ive got

sleepless

new-ish song from my recently re-ignited obsession with band Lo-Fi-Fnk

~SLEEPLESS~

i dislike the intro. i love the song but dislike the saxophone. i want someone to delete it///except that it sounds ok near the end.

reminds me of a difficult parting late one night @ Pigalle in june

Meet me in the middle??////(FCKING HTML)

so...

i had a post written but fcking html messed it all up. technology. so annoying. so so so so annoying.

that isnt the point of this though. my friend BAP from P A R I S shared some music w/ me that i want to share with the few individuals (read no one) who read this "blog"

the songs im posting are mixes of the same song "Meet Me in the Middle" by Sportsday Megaphone. I'd not heard of them before, but i guess they've existed since 2k08....who knew?

i dig both versions...BAP described them as "like a teenager but more stylish" idk if that was meant for this THESE two songs in pArtICUlar or the type of music he is currently listening to. Either way, i liked the description

~Meet Me in the Middle (Max Justus Remix)~

this has some electro flair but remains whimsical. i like that.

\\\\

~Meet Me in the Middle (David E. Sugar Remix)~

just sort of whimsy/depressing? idk....if any of you follow my Hypem account (and you should) i think it's pretty obvious that i would like a song sounding "like this" one

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

blogigng: the new fbk

could blogging
be like the new fbk?
i think there is some p o t e n t i a l there


it might appeal to the more intellectual pplz who think fbk "is fcking retarded"

i loved this song since i 1st heard it this past spring in P A R I S one N I G H T when i wasnt doing any homework. i guess one might consider it a lil O L D but that doesnt make it any less enjoyable. i might also like it b/c of all the M E M O R I E S i have associated with the song.

1st muzic related post!?!?!?!

P A R I S + S W E D E N by way of A M E R I C A:

so the song that i want to post is from Immuzication (http://www.immuzikation.com/) and i really like him. Apparently he is from Athens, GA. Who would have thought?

anyway i was checking out the internet as one does, and i found Phoenix's "1901" mashed w/ Peter Bjorn and John's (lol @ PB&J) song "Young Folks"

so basically the song is gr8. like it a lot. etc etc

reminds me of P A R I S (a kewl city a lil, i H I G LY recommend it) lol

here is that song:

and you can G E T I T here:

(http://www.mediafire.com/?5nkeimny4ww)

so i guess i might make this into a music blog or something

not so sure

sort of really love music (who the EFF doesnt)

lol

no but really

may-b ill get really famous

and my music tastes will lead to an illustrious CAREER

doubtful......lol.....so the other day a tour guide @ H A M C O was giving a tour to 5th graders & their teacher stopped and started talking to me:

T: Y did you come to H A M C O?

srsly though

i just want to make a kewl blog that has lots of lil snappy images but i dont really want to bother learning photography and photoshop

i just want KEWL effing phonts! and kewl images made w/ WORD (as in Mirco Word) they seem to be more amateurish than photoshop WHICH IS THE LOOK I BE SHOOTIN 4

anyway,

the "main idea" (like SAT or GRE or LSAT or WHATEVER test training) you should get from the above "post" (if you could even call it that) is that i would like to post more but dont really have the patience for it?

so there you go!

srsly...vacay tht blows

the last post i wrote seemed srsly cracked out via no sleep. im sorry and im not sorry.

currently on vacay from the sci_po_ihatethisplace/but/loveittoo.html

on sat night had some latin food. on fri night slept 13,14,15+ hours

i dont under_stand how 2 upload videos so im just going to post this link of this 'relevant' song that i read about on pitchfork.com/alt.sourceofmusic_that/every1should/read.org

it's called _Stay Close_ by Delorean and the video is a little too trippy / the music is really channeling AnCo but

'deep feeling(s)' prt 'x' of '∞': K3 + miss no h8

w/o being 2 cliché studying abroad in pairs has been an xtrmly ~amazing~ experience and w/ only 1.5 months left there are things that i already know i will srsly miss.

2b be honest/frank/real the list is endless. so endless, idk where to start (plz note the use of the foreshadowing technique...a list is coming up)

some of the things i will miss every1 who has every spent any time here will miss. generic things. but i will also miss a whole myriad of other things and experiences too.

sum of the various 'petit plasirs' and frequent activities which will be srsly missed...

-smoking ciggies on roof and/or windowsill [shooting for variety] looking @ la defense in the distance [trying to really appreciate the views + ~authentic~ 'self-reflection'/'deep-thoughts' ]

-l'as du falalalfal

-riding the bus [it's a gr8t way to really ~experience~ the city]

-hearing the birds chirping [i.e. 'oh sh¡t itz morning']

-the Pimousse Soucoup's sour galaxy gummies

-buying demi-baguettes via poverty

-bumming ciggies off Anaïs et al.

-Kronenburg

-the country french decor in 'this' room [chambre de bon/bonne/b-sumthing/?)

-taking 'original' and 'artistic' photos via an 'ultra-pro' camera made by an 'obscure' and 'independent' company known for their easy2use and/or user-friendly friendly products

sum of them can't be repeated...

-like the night 'we' went to Lucien's technically 'sick' apartment and 'hung out' eventually climbing onto his rooftop where we sat on his building's pipes smoking/drinking/looking @ la tour effiel (from a completely different view than the one im used to) long after the last metro had come / gone from Convention.

-or that party in the beginning chez Emilia when 'every1' was still 'awkward' but things got 'crazy' / 'messy' nevertheless and 'sum1' attempted 2 drop bottles off the balcony

-'that weekend' in la vallée de la Loire...

-waking up 2 the 1st snow in paris after the 'big xmass fete' which was never attended

-when every1 in ham prog still did everything 2gether

-the Bordeaux Breakdown via the 'apocalypse' | 'end of the world'

-la premiere goût de falalafal chez l'as du falalafal

-h8ing on the french w| ferris the 1st night out

-the time the essay was due that day not the next class

-les examens a la maison des examens en Accuiel i.e. the unhappiest place on earth

-eggs benedict @ Coffee Parisian the morning after 'that night'

-post-Batofar Orly trip via bus + finding the Torre sibs sleeping the hall post-Batofar/Orly

-the ambiguously homeless person 'attack'

-everything about paris in the fall/spring....the winter is 'debatable'

-the red Alcatel bb

-and then there was that period of 'gr8t' 1euro wine

-or what about 'going big' @ Oktoberfest via Paris induced poverty?

-who could ever 4get the awk/bizzare 'high concept' fondue exp ft. baby bottles filled w/ wine [crappiest food in Paris/developed nations/W. Europe/universe]

-then the other time that the 'really creative' and 'fun' / 'high concept' / 'totally original' idea of combining baby bottle + alc was used again @ l'urgence bar and sum1 fell asleep via exhaustion [maybe boredom?]

-writing about crowdsourcing b/c it's the 'future' of journalism (could also be crowd_souring, crowd-sourcing, or crowd sorcing0

-AND THEN THERE WAS THE TIME SUM1 CREATED THAT BLOG LEADING 2 MULTIPLE HOURS OF WASTED TIME [srsly thought, tht was a really 'raw' moment of 'unrestrained' cr8tivity]

....things were supposed to b more 'meaningful' and 'thoughtful' but i am tired|bored|can't taking things to srsly on a blog

newayz

.....are you HOOKED on EisenAlt yet???

....did it make sense that ≤3 = improvised 'heart' [i.e. love] since other heart popular heart symbies look like sideways ice cream cone

entering the "blogosphere"

ive always had _BIG_ dreams of starting a blog

but doing it has always seemed like to much effort/time/internet bandwith

concerned that i might not want 2 share my thoughts/feelings/emotions/experiences/ideas/LIFE with the rest of the world via internet

blogs seem like "personal diaries" that aren't v personal

also worry about writing sumthing "bad" and then having it exist on the internet 4EVER.

dont want ~FUTURE EMPLOYMENT~ ruined by my ~FUTURE EMPLOER~ not "approving"

not sure how i will use this semi-new/sort of old medium to ~express~ myself
