Back to the Roots

Getting back to the roots of many industrial music, I recently, after hearing a list of the singles of Depeche mode from my mom that she played on this thing called a CD (what is this device?), I quickly started to wander into the discography, and also found they did two remix albums. A few of my favs were on it, Mike Shanoda from Linkin Park, Goldfrapp, two of the members of Miike Snow, and more. This song reflects an instrumental aspect of the band, whcih also sounds a lot like the early days of British band The Prodigy. I love going bakc through underground forms of music, although Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence were certainly popular in the 80s. Also, the thumbnail is funny.

Epic song is epic.

Heads Up.

This blog may be gettign a cool thing in the future:
Transcript of an interview with the band Goldfish.

Yeah, you read that correctly. I really love this band. If you haven't heard of them, they are a duo from South Africa, although sometimes a trio. They make really great music, Jazz, Electronica, Swing, House. So many things. A truly original band that i wish was more popular. I was thinking about what sort of questions I would like to ask them, from things like How did you get into Music, to things like what equipment do they use. I'd love some thoughts. I was also hoping I'd get a chance to get the blog link up on there website.

DUBSTEP SAMPLES CONTEST

DO WANT.

Hans Zimmer - Time (Karanda Remix)

Damn. I was going through my YouTube subscriptions, and came across this one. This is a trance remix of one of my favorite classical/soundtrack songs ever. The song feels like the original, but could easily be played in a club. Trance is a beautiful metamorphosis of electronic music, and certainly is one of the best genres ever. Club music is good, but nothing compares to the tear-jerking synths of trance.

Public Libraries

I have always thought of our public institutions to be a hallmark of society. Free, open, and not out for a profit. Just the way I like them. A lot of the libraries in Massachusetts were founded as part of the education reform in the mid 1800s.

Libraries are beneficial factors to Society. You need a book? Go check it out for FREE at your local library. Oh, and your taxes may go up a slight bit to pay for running the place. Boohoo.

Colored Bacon

So I got this bacon day calendar for my birthday from an old friend, and I finally have a source for bacon related things on this blog! So here we go:

A man called Neil Caldwell has invented coloured bacon! Not a GMO thing, genuinely artificial coloured bacon that is edible. I want it so much. SO MUCH. If anyone gets some, let me know. So the awesomeness can happen. Here are some pictures:

And another:

Banksy when it comes to advertising.

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.
